Especially For Fall Footwear

Boots.  One of the most distinct ways to get the word out that it's fall.  It's not just any boot style though.  Generally leather or brown boots are the way to go.  Uggs are mostly a winter style so I try to stay away from them until it's snowing more than once a week.  Here are some of my favorite fall boot styles. 

Riding Boots: 

These are my go to boots all fall long.  You really can't invest in a better shoe style than these.  They go with EVERYTHING!  Riding boots will make almost anything look good and fall fashion forward. 

Short Boots:

I really haven't seen too many fall boots that aren't riding boots that I absolutely love.  So the styles you are about to see are literally the ONLY short boot styles that I have discovered so far that I actually like.  

Cowgirl Boots: 

To be honest with you, I NEVER wear cowgirl boots.  They are really cute on some people and really not cute on others.  So, it's up to you to decide if they work for you.  

Short Cowgirl Boots: 

Don't even get me started on short cowgirl boots.  I have yet to ever see someone wearing "cute" short cowgirl boots in person, on Pinterest, or even just in stores.  So simply just don't wear them.

What is your favorite style in fall boots?

Dressing It Up

I love jewelry done right.  It is a perfect way to represent who you are.  I tend to like jewelry that not everybody will have.  I never did buy a bubble necklace for fear that it would be too trendy (post on trends to come soon.)

Statement Necklaces:

Statement necklaces are so versatile.  You can wear them with jeans and a t-shirt, stripes, formal dresses, party dresses,  to refresh and old outfit, slacks and a blouse for work, etc.  The options are endless. 

Earrings: 

In my opinion, earrings are a perfect way to add a fun accent to an outfit without over powering your main elements of your ensemble.  I have a diverse love for earrings.  I love colorful and bold earrings as well as more simple ones.

How do you like to wear your jewelry?  Do you like wearing necklaces or earrings better?

Rainy Day

It's inevitable.  A rainy day is bound to roll around sooner or later.  But who's going to let a rainy day stop them from showing off some super stylish wellies?  Don't forget those raincoats either!

Boots:
Although you can find rain boots at a variety of stores, my all time favorite rain boots are Hunter Boots (can be found at Nordstrom.)  When it comes to rain boots I personally gravitate towards the taller ones.  Here are just a few examples of some of the cutest colors out there.

Rain Coats:
Everybody needs a stylish rain coat.  So next time you are about to go buy a plain black rain coat, rethink that and take a look at some of these styles.

 

So next time a rainy day rolls around, try out some of these styles.

Leather

Leather.  One of the most versatile materials in my opinion.  It can be worn to create a biker look.  It can be put on couches.  It can be in work boots or J.Crew ballet flats.  It can even be gloves to keep your hands warm.  All of these styles are still being used, however, the new fall 2013 trend is a more chic approach to leather. 

An increasingly popular trend in leather is to wear leather leggings with a white shirt and heels.  In my opinion, one of the cuter trends out there. 

How J.Crew wears it: 

 

Although I have been admiring the leather legging trend for quite some time now, today I stumbled on a new trend, the leather jacket.  Although you might think that I'm talking about the leather jackets in the movie, Greece, this style takes a more classic and sophisticated approach to the leather jacket.

What do you think of the leather trend? Which of these styles is your favorite?

Book Review

Peter Pan 

Author: J.M. Barrie 

Rating: 9 stars

Peter Pan is a classic fiction book about an island of boys (their leader is Peter Pan.)  Peter Pan decides they need a mother.  Peter Pan brings back Wendy, an average little girl to take care of him and the lost boys.  Along with Wendy comes her two brothers, John and Michael. This story is all about the adventures of Peter, the lost boys, Wendy, and the fearsome Captain Hook. 

Courage

As I watched this beautiful Mormon Message it gave me hope.  Courage isn't easy to have.  Courage is doing what is right even when the consequences could turn out bad.  You choose the right because you have full faith in Heavenly Father that he will make things work.  I think this video is amazing and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
