Sweater weather, bonfires, and pumpkin spice everything -- Fall is approaching and I honestly couldn't be happier...

We are a whole 7 days away from the official first day of fall and I couldn't be any more excited. Fall is hands down my favorite season...hands down. Even though here in the midwest and it lasts for a whole 2 weeks, this is the time of year that I live for. The chunky scarves, layering, and sweater weather? It's all music to my ears.

 

4 REASONS WHY I LOVE FALL

1. It's not too hot or too cold.

I'm totally just not a summer girl. Don't get me wrong I love the beach and the lake but I just can't really handle the heat. My favorite thing about summer is knowing that fall is just around the corner. Spring? Wayyyyy too much pollen and bees (FYI ever since I was stung behind my ear in the 4th grade, I'm terrified of bees). Winter? I'm a winter baby and I'm so proud, but after living in the Midwest, winter has kind of been ruined for me. [Plus, no one can see your cute 'fit underneath your huge parka. sigh]

2. You can still wear ripped jeans. 

If you wear ripped jeans during the winter months, you will legit freeze your knee caps off. But with fall, you can keep wearing them and your knees will stay in tact. For that, I am forever thankful. 

3. It's acceptable to start drinking hot chocolate.

I never have been and never will be a coffee girl. I'm more of a tea and hot chocolate type of gal, so during the summer, I just look weird walking around when everyone is drinking/ordering their iced coffee drinks and all I ever drink is Earl Grey Tea / Lipton English Tea (with hazelnut coffee creamer and sugar-- try it, it's going to change your life)

4. FALL FASHION IS BAE. 

There is no other fashion season that makes me more happy than fall. I don't know how to explain the feeling or why I feel that way, but I just do.

lace it up.

Well hello beautiful people, 

 It's been a hot second and I apologize. These last few weeks have been insanity and in my defense, I've had every intention of being up to date on my lookbook posts, but the way the wifi was set up when I was abroad, it was nearly impossible. So what does that mean to you? Well, I have a good 10 looks coming your way in the next week or two. (YAY for new content!!) 

If you follow me on the gram or snapchat you know that I've been in Italy, London, and New York this month and I have so many stories to tell you. Right now I'm playing catch up so I can share all of my experiences with you so puhleaseeee bare with me. I have literally been at Starbucks since 11am and I'm not leaving until my two page to do list is completed (I'm currently about halfway so its about to be a long night.) 

Now to the part you actually care about: THE LOOK. 

This cute top was sent to me by GG Boutique and if you haven't noticed, the lace up trend is one that I'm kind of in love with. the color of this top is the perfect half burnt orange color and its pretty close to the color pictured. Head over to ShopGGBoutique.com to snag this adorable top along with so many more cute items. Use my code Demib25 for 25% OFF your purchase!!

Happy Shopping ;)

sporty chic.

I'm not really a believer in sticking to one certain "look" or style. If you've got a certain color palette you go with, I get it because I'm the exact same. I love black, white, nudes,and navy and I try to stay away from bright, bold colors, but when it comes to a certain look, I'm all over the place. One day its boho, the next preppy, then maybe a little sporty chic (even though I'm the least sporty person you'll probably ever meet).

Moral of the story? Dress however you feel like in the morning. Let your mood determine what look you're going for. For me, this is how my brain works when I'm picking out an outfit no joke: 

"Wow I should workout this morning." (15 minutes later) "Ehhhhh not feeling it." So what to I do? I decided that dressing with a sporty flare would be as close to working out as I'd get. Let me break down this fit and you tell me thats it's not basically workout gear. 

Top: It's a bodysuit from zara which is basically a leotard. If you didn't know ballerinas wear these when they dance -- and dance is a workout)

Pants: Are they jeans? Yes. Do they feel like jeans? Nope. ;)  I'm not lying when I say these jeans feel like leggings and what do most people wear when they workout? Leggings. (Reason 10000283749 why I love my James Jeans.) 

Shoes: I'm not going to lie, these are the only pair of proper workout sneakers I have, and I'd be lying if I told you I bought them for workout purposes.
