I so wish I had the right shade in this bootie because that would've made for a flawless finish. But you gotta work with what you have, right? I did list quite a few down below since I do get questions and comments about them.

In just a short time I will be headed back down to South Carolina and I don't think I have been more excited! Having some time off to spend with family and down south is exactly what my soul needs before the holiday bustle begins.

Thanks for reading! xo

Sporty

Leather jacket- Nordstrom Rack

Top- Old Navy, similar

Skirt- Boohoo (on major sale!!)

Flats- Topshop

Sunglasses- Francesca's, similar style

Earrings- Old, similar

I've said it before and i'll say it again, Nordstrom Rack is one of my go-to stores to find essentials. One of those essentials being a leather jacket. I got my shipment of two this past week, and I couldn't be happier with them!

 One of the biggest trends i've seen this fall, and i'm sure will transition into the spring time, is lace up flats. You can find them in all different colors and price points; however, they are tricky when it comes to comfort. I've heard reviews on some that are a waste of money and some that are really easy to wear. The pair that I am wearing are one of the easy wearing pairs, and they are only $45!!

I've found myself watching older disney channel movies (like late '90s to early 2000s) and food network shows. For some reason they are very soothing to me haha! So if you can't find me, that's usually where I am.

Denim- Forever 21

Bag- Kate Spade, similar

Booties- Old, similar

Sunglasses- Francesca's, similar

Earrings- Old, similar

The moment I turned this dress into a duster I've never turned back. Seriously though, I will never look at a button down dress the same again. I mean it's two different pieces in one #win! 

I have been on a baking craze lately; as in I've been really wanting to bake but haven't gotten to it. I think it's because I just found a new bakery near by, or because i'm obsessed with the show Worst Cooks In America. I have my go-to fall recipes but I want to add a few this year. I'm thinking a flavored coffee creamer and rice crispy treats (my weakness as of late).

Utility Vest

Vest- Francesca's

Flannel- Old Navy

Denim- Forever 21

Boots- Old, similar

Scarf- Old, similar

Sunglasses- Francesca's (in store), similar

Earrings- Old, similar

I've been wanting a utility vest for ages, so the moment I saw one I grabbed it. It's great for those not so cold days when you want to add a little extra fall to an outfit. I like the flannel I paired with it, but I had a plain light grey long sleeve shirt on and it looked even better! I feel like it will be one of those repeat outfits this year.

Speaking of year.... It's almost halfway through October, y'all. It just keeps blowing my mind how fast the days are. Yesterday a friend and I tried a new cafe and we walked one of my favorite trails that I haven't been on in months (due to me over freaking out about lyme disease, thanks New England). It was so gorgeous with all the leaves changing and then the cranberry bog and marsh surrounding it. Not to mention my mom + siblings + I took a drive to my favorite coffee shop that afternoon. Let's just say I'm learning to live/get out a little more when I get the chance. 

Happy Monday, and thanks for reading y'all! xo

They are perfect for the cooler months since my feet and legs get pretty cold just walking around my house. 

Also, I got asked where I found my cheetah print vest since it is such a hard item to find. Well I found one for y'all! The best parts, it just went live yesterday so they may still have your size left, and you can get 10% off you purchase at Juliana's with the code 'lstf10' at checkout!! Grab it NOW!

Striped Sweatshirt Dress

Dress- Impressions Boutique

Booties- Old, similar

Bag- Kate Spade, similar in stock

Scarf- Old, similar

Earrings- Old, similar

I did a coffee run the other day in a town that is just a little chillier than where I live, so I threw on this sweatshirt dress and scarf. I love this dress to pieces but it looks like it shrunk a little in the wash *insert crying emoji*, but it'll still look cute with leggings this fall. I original bought it because my work requires me to wear more formal-ish wear (aka no jeans) and I still wanted to be comfortable. Y'all the best part is that it's only $34! You really can't beat it. 

The Cape has that small time feel (especially when the tourist leave) and yesterday just reminded me of that. There was a wounded warrior bike race going on one of our bike paths and my mom and I drove around and kind of followed it. It was just neat to see how the schools and active military along with police and firefighters from town came out to support them the whole way. 

Happy Friday y'all, and thanks for reading! xo
