shop the season: marsala

its mid-to-late september and we had one bout of cool weather, so that means its fall right? i chose to pretend it wasn't 85 degrees outside today and have decorated for fall, bought everything pumpkin-flavored i could find (PSA: pumpkin spice latte m&m's... not so good), and have started the closet transition from summer to fall. my favorite color for the fall? pantone's color of the year: marsala. i love this deep, rustic red wine color that makes a statement on its own or as an accent. sophisticated, earthy and rich, its just right for fall fashion. and what better time of the year to wear it than right now, when it complements the season's changing colors so well? so, shop the season in marsala with me and my round up of favorites below!

spring splurge vs. steal

long time no post! it has been a busy several+ days for me and i think my mind has had a million thoughts a minute. today's post is all about fashion on a budget! i love when i can find a good steal that looks almost like the designer splurge. some trends are such a quick fad that really investing in it isn't worth it, so its always great to look for similar styles that save you a little but still give you that same look!


floral pumps / manolo blahnik ($695) vs. kristin cavallari ($129.95)
structured bag / cĂ©line ($3100) vs. target ($39.99)
crop top + midi skirt set / milly top ($295) + skirt ($375) vs. vince camuto top ($99) + skirt ($129)
jelly bow sandals / valentino ($295) vs. dizzy ($29.99)

two for one jewels: stella & dot style

who doesn't love a buy-one-get-one? well, with some of stella & dot's necklaces, you are getting just that (and with some other things, even three for the price of one). one of my favorite things about one of my latest obsessions is stella & dot's multiple ways to wear an item. and its not just multiple ways to wear a necklace, i got a pair of earrings that can be worn as a long chandelier, a stud or a shorter chandelier. statement jewelry doesn't get much better than that. stella & dot's spring collection is just gorgeous. on-trend, feminine and light, its just what i want adorning my ears, neck and wrists this spring. below are the newest additions to my jewelry box, ready to be worn!

fall fashion finds

fall break wouldn't have been complete without a trip to my favorite place, and hopefully future home, nashville. driving into nashville felt like coming home. anyway, a stop at LEONA was necessary and a walk around green hills mall was essential. (p.s., mom and i ate at Table 3 right near the mall - so good! delicious food and we felt like we were in france the whole time!) needless to say we did some damage on 12 South and at the mall! scroll on for a few of my favorite finds from friday that i can't wait to wear and some i hope to see in my closet soon!













shop happy my friends!

lovely LEONA: october

have you checked out the newest releases from LEONA's fall winter collection?! they. are. to. die. for. i seriously don't know how lauren does it! the colors are just lovely, and two of my favorites: eggplant and emerald. the silhouettes are classic yet modern, and the styles can be worn at so many different occasions and accessorized in some many different ways. i happen to be going to LEONA Nashville this coming week so hopefully a few of the new pieces may come home with me (as well as the nashville exclusive items!).






(i love that you can wear the bow at the waist or at the neck!)

i should honestly just post a link to the site and tell y'all to go there for my favorite pieces... everything that lauren designs goes on my "LEONA wishlist"! happy shopping y'all! its finally boots, scarves and vests season!

fall is in the air and and in the stores. neutrals, deep fall colors and cozy sweaters are filling racks, plaids and mixed textures are on every mannequin. i was originally planning on just doing an october style guide favorites from j. crew, but after some online shopping (i should be studying), i discovered some other finds i wanted to share with you on my monday must-haves list!




j. crew cropped jacket and plaza skirt in stripe tweed

















i may be a bit MIA on here this coming week as it is the hardest week of the semester thus far... 3 tests and 3 group projects have me stressed to the max! still, i know it will all be worth it when i am home in murfreesboro for a weekend away friday! heres to a good week!

september shopping list

after a busy day of class, workouts, homework, cooking for today and tomorrow (its a super busy day) and coffee-ing with a friend (whom i am obsessed with - so glad we made the time to hang!), i am mentally and physically exhausted! a little retail therapy should help with that though right? i mean, i can do it from my couch and it doesn't require too much brain power at all! so, with fall weather beginning to make its appearance, here is my september shopping list, complete with fall trends you will want to be wearing as soon as you can!

















i think that is all my brain can muster for now! as always, the shopping list grows more and more, even as i post these! stay tuned!

nyfw - kate spade spring 15 collection

a busy weekend it was but fun nonetheless! it was family weekend here in knoxville as well as phillip's birthday yesterday! celebrating the vols win and 25 years of phillip with my family was the best way to spend the weekend!

new york fashion week started last week and of all the collections i have browsed through, kate spade spring 2015 collection is by far my favorite! as usual, kate spade whisked us away somewhere exotic and this coming spring, kate spade will be dressing us for a lovely garden party! the collection is gorgeous, complete with everything "spring" you can think of: wicker, eyelet, florals, brights and stripes! some of my favorites are below, and see all of the collection here!

target: on target for fall

target may be my achilles' heel. i have been too many times to admit since i have been in knoxville and each time, i come out with something i didn't go in for. still, i needed it all right?! this fall, target has yet the fashion bullseye (see what i did there?), especially with trendy items at great prices that may not be in your closet forever. and they have great basics and layering pieces for transitioning seasons. i also love their workout brand and i always make a trip through that section as well! so what have i added to my ever-expanding closet (i know i have a problem) from target? see the pictures below and then head to your closest target to see what is in store!









before you go, make sure you have the target cartwheel app if you don't already! to date, i have saved over $100 using the app! its so easy to use and so worth it! happy shopping!

sunday's lust list

getting back into the school routine has taken up most of my time this week and i haven't been able to get a post in! the past few days have been filled with tweaking things in my apartment, going to classes (i'm in for a hard semester) and seeing my friends! still, i have found time to do some online shopping! i am dreaming about quite a few new things that i have found so here is the latest lust list!


topshop textured crop-top and full midi skirt















today is another very special lady in my life's birthday: my grandmother. she is the reason i have red hair and my role model. if i am half the woman she is, i will be better than most. i am forever grateful for the close relationship we have. the redheads of the family have to stick together! today i am lucky to get to have lunch with her! after that, the online shopping will have to stop so that i can start getting back in the "you actually have homework now" groove. on the plus side of school starting back up, it will be football time in tennessee this time next week! go vols!
