I felt like the luckiest gal ever when the amazing PB&J Boutique asked me to wear an entire outfit head to toe from their fabulous boutique! I was instantly drawn to this gorg leather jacket, I mean yes I may be a little obsessed with leather but this is just immaculate! Oh and not to mention, a dotted maxi skirt.....yes please!! It was like this outfit was speaking to me haha We all knew I had to have it.

Thanks so much PB&J Boutique for giving me this fab look!!

Grungy Chic

So since I have a feeling that fall is arriving very soon I thought I would do a little post on what I am so excited about for fall!! It the perfect season for grungy chic which is probably my fav and all of these gals down here are the perfect example of this! It's a little grungy but still has that girl vibe that we all love. I am also loving all the faux fur, it gives that extra little thing that every outfit needs. What are your ladies favorite looks for fall, what are you so giddy to put on!?

Happy fall days!!

Star Wars/Camo & Giveaway Winner

Random story on how I found this rad tee......so the other day I was at Shopko to pick up my baby boys prescription for his ear infection and croup (awful i know!!!) I wondered around to waste the 20 minutes that it takes, even though I called the prescription in! I swear that always happens! Anyways back to the point, I strolled around and found this glorious tee in the mens section! Star Wars and camo in one, winner winner chicken dinner! I had to make a purchase! I had been neglecting one of my favorite pairs of boyfriend jeans so I had to pair it with them. Plus the graphic tee and ombre jeans just fit so perfectly together!

stripes and a cardi

This outfit is pretty simple but simple can be fun too! Some days it's nice to just keep it simple and not have any extra fuss that you have to worry about. Oh and I have also been stuck in this never wanting to do my hair phase as in a lot of messy ponies, top knots, and braids, but that's ok right? Especially when I got a little sick baby at home that needs all my attention and love!

jewels + slouchy beanies & Giveaway Winner

I got this skirt about a month ago from H&M for a killer deal and I can tell it's going to be one of my favs because it's a good transition maxi skirt from summer to fall. I can't wait to pair it with an oversized sweater or infinity scarf and maybe some booties. Here are a couple pairs I have been drooling over here, here and here!
