Hello, world. Meet my iPhone's new bff.

I foresee a whole of this happening this weekend. & maybe a little bit of this.

I fell hard for Liz's maxi. Then this happened.

Enter: the perfect lip color for fall.

Stumbled upon this gem. & I just can't get enough. Seriously. She makes me want brown hair.

This may just be one of the cutest series I've seen. Kudos to you, Vmac.

the fall maxi

Dress: Ruche [in ivory] [similar] | Boots: Target [love these cognac booties] | Vest: Old Navy [jacket version] | Belt: Madewell | Hat: Forever 21 | Shades: RayBan | Bag: Louis Vuitton | Jewels: Alilang c/o, Eastern Market, Michael Kors, Stella & Dot | Lips: Maybelline Plum Perfect

I must admit, it's not even mid October & I've been sporting winter wear around the city more often than not. I love this time of year - when you can throw on a knit hat & a great military vest over your favorite maxi to create an effortlessly chic seasonal look. If only it would snow so my knit snood & my favorite mittens could make an appearance!
