Fall List

I am officially surrendering to fall and embracing all the plaid, cozy sweaters and Halloween candy.

Plaid look // Pumpkin candle // Leftover candy brownies // Hunter rain boots // Thanksgiving crackers

Essie fall polishes (stylenomics, bobbing for baubles, smokin' hot, shearling darling)

I could never get on board with the pumpkin hype and lattes. Instead, I embrace fall with dark polishes, plaid button downs and my favorite rain boots.

A major storm came through Austin last weekend, thanks to Hurricane Patricia. It was nearly 48 hours of non-stop rain. As much as I love the rain, we had a weekend indoors watching movies and binge watch The Leftovers. (So good!)

Fall Overalls Look

I am such a big fan of overalls. I wore them the first go around in the 90s and can't stop lusting over them now.

Denim overalls // Panama hat // Striped long sleeve // Tan booties (on sale!) // Nude heels

I love the skinny look and how they can be dressed up or down. And give me all the distressing!

Here are some of my favorite overall looks around the web:

5 Flats for the Fall

I know it's still summer, but fall is quickly approaching. I am really looking forward to some cool weather and we're still praying for rain over here in California.

So I picked out five fabulous flats that will make you excited about fall too.

Ballet flats // Floral d'Orsay // Laced up flats // Striped Soludos // Tied cutout flats

I love the new tied and laced up trends. Such a fun way to spice up the traditional ballet flats. I am also a huge fan of Tieks for their comfort and durability. These grey fabric ones are my ultimate go-to.

Fun filled weekend

It was such a fabulous weekend over here. Every bit of it.

It started with an early Friday... which always kicks off the weekend right. We had fun dressing up and greeting all the trick-or-treaters in the neighborhood.

"Cat Burglar"

We also made our own treats: homemade nachos and margaritas. Recipes to come soon!

On Saturday, we went on a long bike ride through town.

puffer vest // perfect white tee

It was such a beautiful day and 15 miles later (!!!) we returned from an amazing ride, a picnic lunch and some champagne tasting.

On Sunday, we went to a huge antique faire. If you ever happen to be up here on the first Sunday of the month or are a local... this is not to be missed. They have so much good stuff, old and refurbished. We ended up purchasing our dining room table (custom made!). So exciting getting our house in order, slowly but surely.

Hope you had a wonderful weekend as well!

Fall in Burgundy & Gray

I am a huge fan of Shopbop... and even more so when they have a good sale going on! Their friends and family sale just started and I am definitely going to stock up on some fall staples.

Here are a few items on my list:

Burn out clutch // Checkered scarf // Burgundy sunglasses // Quilted bag // Floral umbrella // Suede booties // Buckle tote

These booties might be the first purchase. Love the neutral gray! I also don't own anything burgundy. I think this color for a purse is perfect in the fall/winter. Get the 25% off Friends & Family discount with the code FAMILY25.

And while we're on the topic of fall goodies... did you see the new Tieks that just came out? I'm in love!

This gray wool version looks so cozy and perfect for fall!

Fall Essentials: Booties + Loafers

I am still enjoying sandals after being in the rainy Dublin weather for two years. But fall is upon us and its almost time for shoe transition.

Loafers and booties are a few of my fall essentials this year. Looking forward to adding these to my wardrobe soon!

Kitty slipper loafer // Brown leather bootie // Leopard print loafer 

Black leather bootie // Beach leather bootie // Stitch slip-on loafer // Bee Happy slipper loafer

What are some of your fall favorites that I can add to my list?? :)

Fall Favorites

It's sad to see the summer go, but I am so happy we came back from Ireland in time for some gorgeous Cali weather. We were craving it after 2 years of rainy and windy weather... that and Mexican food. :)

But it's definitely beginning to look like fall around here... so I thought I would share some of my favorite fall finds.

Rucksack bag // Lace top // Plaid camisole // Fleece hat // Gray booties // Flannel button down

I am a big fan of this flowy lace top and a good plaid print always works perfectly with fall for me.

Everyday look for Fall

Hope you had a fabulous Halloween! The bird and I actually dressed up! I'll post some pics next week. :)

Today's outfit inspiration is all about dressing for your city. I haven't quite nailed down Dublin's fashion, but I thought this was a good signature fall look for Dublin. Just add a coat!

long sleeve top // satchel // black skinny jeans // scarf // biker boot // umbrella // aviator sunglasses

I am all about slouchy tops and this Helmut one is no exception. I have started to embrace the quality over quantity rule in fashion for a few wardrobe staples. Speaking of which, do you own a pair of Rag & Bone jeans? If so, let me know if they're worth the hype... and price tag. I'm loving these!

By the way, Happy November! How can it possibly by November already!?

Weekend Recap

Happy Monday!

Its a rainy morning here in Dublin. But we had a fabulous weekend, so its hard to complain.

The bird and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary this weekend. I definitely didn't take enough pictures to document... but here are a couple from dinner on Saturday at Fire.

This restaurant was just newly remodeled and its gorgeous inside. I'm not sure the service or food matched the lovely interior... but I have to say the dessert was delicious: vanilla bean creme brulee and white chocolate raspberry cheesecake.

I completely forgot to take pictures at Thornton's. But we did get to meet the owner and celebrity chef, Mr. Thornton himself. So that was exciting.

And lastly, I'm pretty sure fall lasts one week here. Luckily I was able to snap a pic before it turned to winter today.

My fall necessities: soy chai tea latte, navy polish and booties.

What's is your fall/winter go-to drink?

The Rain Bootie

The weather has officially transitioned over here in Dublin. We are getting bits of both fall and winter.

My Hunters have been on standby, but sometimes they seem like too much when its only sprinkling or patches of rain.

So I've been on the look out for some rain booties.

Chooka // Tretorn // Joules // Joules // Sorel // Aigle

I first had my eyes on these boots:

But they are out of my size over here in Europe! :(

I may just have to order them and pick them up when I come home for Christmas.

Although the Tretorns are a close second and them come in black as well.

Fall wishlist

Hello from Cologne, Germany!

I have been exploring the city the past 2 days while the bird has been at a work conference. Its a lovely city, right on the Rhine River. And also worth noting, its a pretty big city for fashion. Who knew!?

So I thought it was only appropriate that I am share my fall wishlist with you today.

sweater // sunglasses // dress // clutch // scarf // belt // earrings // hat (similar) // shampoo // candle

Cinnamon shampoo... Sign me up!

I also started and finished this book in 24 hours. I could not put it down! Download it immediately.

Happy Friday!

After seeing all the gorgeous skirts around the web, I decided it was time to embrace the look.

Here are some of my favorite skirts for fall:

leather skater // striped pencil // floral midi // scalloped mini // ribbed flare

We have dinner with friends tonight, followed by a Christening celebration for another friend tomorrow. Sunday we'll play catch up. :)

Fall Layers

As I was perusing through Pinterest, which I often find myself doing... I came across this lovely outfit.

image via

It made me envision fall (which seems to be right around the corner for us here in Dublin) and inspired this fall layers post.

 crew neck sweater // polka dot shirt // bar necklace // distressed denim // military coat

I am definitely loving navy and yellow together, with a touch of gold.

Have a lovely weekend!
