My Current Accessory Obsession: Scarves

If you've been looking at my OOTDs on Tubmlr (if not be sure to check them out here) then you know I have a slight obsession (ok maybe a major obsession) with scarves lately.  Currently they are my go to accessory for dressing up a boring outfit.  If I'm being perfectly honest I'll have to admit that I usually spend roughly 10-15 minutes getting ready for class every morning (due to oversleeping...), and therefore I rarely put lots of time and effort into my outfit choices (unless I have a special occasion or meeting).  The result is usually a fairly boring combination of a shirt/sweater and either Jeans or Black leggings.  So recently I have been using my colorful collections of scarves to brighten up my outfits!  Here are some examples:

My favorite places to get scarves are J.Crew, Lilly Pulitzer, and my mom's closet (though harder to get some from there now that I'm in school...).  Also if you ever travel to Scotland be sure to pick up scarves their (in either traditional or not so traditional tartan patterns!)

Here are some cute fall scarves that you can transition to help brighten up your boring neutrals

Sweater Weather

Here in Boston the temperature has started slowing dipping lower and lower.  Today it was actually cold enough for me to wear a sweater outside!  I love wearing sweaters.  They are some of my favorite pieces to wear during the fall because they are so comfortable and easy to wear (my two favorite things in an outfit!).  My favorite places to get sweaters are Gap, J.Crew, Banana Republic, C. Wonder, and my mother's closet (for real though!  I steal sweaters from her every year!)

Here are some great sweaters that are on my radar this fall.

Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice

One of my favorite parts of fall I have to admit (sorry for being basic) is Pumpkin!  Ever since I was a kid the day my local supermarket started stocking pumpkin pies i would beg my mom to bring one home for desert!  Well this year Starbucks brought out the Pumpkin Spice Latte early, and I have been loving it!  Recently I have been having fun mixing up Starbucks syrup combos with my PSL just to try a flavor change, here are a few of my favorites!

- In an Iced Latte have 3 pumps of Pumpkin and 1 pump of Cinnamon Dolce

-Iced or Hot 2 pumps of Chai and 2 pumps of Pumpkin

*Note I typically drink my Starbucks with less syrup than average, so you may need to adjust the flavors for your taste buds!

Happy Fall everyone!

Wednesday Wish List

Hi!  Sorry I haven't posted in forever!  I've been settling into the school year and everything has been so hectic I've been losing track of time!  I figure the best way to settle back into the school year is to window shop for new clothes to rock on campus! (As if I'm ever not constantly checking my favorite online stores anyway!)  Here are a few finds that I'm loving right now (can we all appreciate the monotony of my go-to stores!  I am quite brand loyal)!
