Some of My Favorites

Happy Weekend Friends!

I hope you're all having a fun weekend and staying warm! It's actually in the double digits today in Pittsburgh so I decided to get a little crazy and wear a dress (!!!) and these super cute Alice in Wonderland tights from StockingNoir. These tights were a gift from Elysia Purnell, the creator of this amazing legwear company based here in Pittsburgh, Pa. I did a shoot with her awhile back for her lookbook and fell in love with all of the stockings. 

I paired the look with my emerald suede booties that I'm obsessed with and a pair of sparkly wool socks my sister got me for Christmas. Sadly you can't see the sparkle in the photos but they helped with keeping me warm. I also wore this stunning infinity scarf Ian's mom knit me for Christmas! I'm absolutely in love with this scarf...it's so warm and the colors are GORGEOUS! It's definitely a new favorite of mine.

I wanted to keep my accessories pretty minimal since I have so much going on with this outfit already. I'm carrying my iridescent seashell clutch wallet and these birthstone earrings.

Of course it was too cold to wear this outfit by itself so I put my giant Calvin Klein jacket over it (not pictured).

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and thanks for checking in!

Suede Sunday

Happy Monday lovelies!

I hope you all had a wonderful and exciting weekend! I spent Saturday and Sunday with my boyfriend, which is always the nicest thing. We live about thirty minutes away from each other and really only get to see each other on weekends. When we get to spend time together we love to cook dinner, introduce each other to new music we're obsessing over and watch movies/tv shows we enjoy. He's an artist and I adore coming over and seeing the paintings he's been working on throughout weekdays. Our time is also spent playing with the adorable rottweiler he's sitting for his family friend (she's roaming around Southeast Asia for the month)

Yesterday we went out to lunch with his parents. The place is called D's Six Pax & Dogz. It's a bar restaurant that has delicious American food (hotdogs, hamburgers, hot wings, etc) and a wide variety of beer. It was so nice getting to catch up with his family and discuss his dad's latest oil painting and his sister's fast-approaching wedding

This is the outfit I decided to wear out to lunch. This grey dress from H&M has become my new favorite item in my closet! I just love how simple it is, in which case I can dress it up or keep it casual. I recently received these gorgeous green suede boots in the mail and I've been wearing them consistently for the past two weeks. These cute booties add the perfect pop to any fall outfit. I decided to tie the look together with a two-tone belt, black stockings, floral scarf, leather jacket, and these emerald suede boots!

It always takes me awhile to get back into my 9-5 weekly routine after having an incredible weekend.  I'm chugging coffee this morning to perk up. Moreover, my boss is in Puerto Rico this whole week and things will be pretty slow here. I'll need all the caffeine I can possibly get...

Thanks for checking in! I sincerely hope you're all indulging in this beautiful weather so far.
