I've always wanted to try belle sleeves, but I just haven't found the right top yet. Well, it just so happens I finally found it. I was walking around Soho and stumbled upon the Aerie pop up shop, which btw if y'all ever cross one then you need to go in. You'll thank me later. Needless to say I walked out of there with one too many items. I love how fun the belle sleeves are; they add a feminine touch to any top or dress. I am looking forward to see how designers are able to bring belle sleeves through the seasons. 

Speaking of designers, have y'all be following the news of #NYFW?! There are some gorgeous ideas coming out soon. Since I haven't been able to follow along the fashion filled week in person, I have been liberally following a few blogger to see all the news. My favorite blogger to follow right now is Brighton. 

Thanks for reading y'all! xo

I wasn't planning on posting this outfit; five minutes later I got this scarf in the mail. I am headed to South Africa in a little more than a week and was thinking of the (longggg) flight. We're going from the temps being in the teens to the 80's, so I needed something to keep me warm but I could take off and stuff somewhere once we got to Africa. I know blanket scarves are not really in anymore, but they are so amazing for cases like this.

This week I realized why I really blog. It's my hobby, it's my escape, it's my stress & anxiety reliever. I used to think blogs were silly, and I still think that's how some people view it, but wow has blogging been blessing me personally. 

Thank you so much for stopping by!
