My favorite ways to wear a scarf

I admit, I wasn’t a scarf fan before but now, I love them. Today, I decided to make a little video to show you guys 3 of my favorite ways to wear a scarf. There are certainly countless ways to wear them. Scarves not only keep you warm, but also make your plain and simple attire look more fashionable and put together. That’s the reason why I chose to wear a pair of denim with a plain tee. This is my first ever attempt at making a video, please bear with me. Also, please excuse my awkward moments =) It took me 3 hours to edit this 3-minute video. It’s not anything extraordinary but I hope you’ll enjoy it. Thank you, Happy Scarf for sending over these beautiful scarves.

100% wool scarf in floral print (buy here)
Skull scarf in black and gray (buy here)

Have a great week!

Fall Wish-list Item # 6: A clutch/cross-body bag

These pictures were taken a while back for the IT girl feature but I haven’t had a chance to post them yet. This military pencil skirt was one of the items that I picked out for the feature. Unfortunately, the size 0 was too big for me.

Petite Fashion Challenge # 11: Vacation Vogue

I am personally excited for this month’s PFC. My family and I are going on vacation soon and this challenge couldn't have come at a better time. This month, Ski Petite asked us to:

Put together an outfit made for sightseeing. It should be one that will be comfortable for walking around in and can last you from the early morning until dinner and drinks in the evening. Plus, you're on vacation, so you'd better make sure you look good in photos, which you'll have for years to come. You can choose just one outfit but vary it by adding or taking off layers or accessories to take you from the a.m. to the p.m. and make one outfit easier to last through the day
…so for this challenge, I am making this simple pleated dress work for both day and night. The easiest way create a day-to-night look is by playing with your accessories

Weekend Fun: Circleville Pumpkin Show

This weekend, my family and I headed down to Circleville for the annual Pumpkin Show. The Circleville Pumpkin Show attracts over 400,000 visitors (100,000 per day) to this small community of 12,000 people. They come to see the giant pumpkins, the world's largest Pumpkin Pie, parades, entertainment, attractions, and try various pumpkin-flavored goodies. For us, it's becoming a tradition that we look forward to each year. Here are a few snapshots from the show:


{The biggest pumpkins of the show: 1st place: 1436 lbs, 2nd place: 1198 lbs}

My Fall/Winter wish-list

Although I enjoyed the warm weather in the Summer, Fall is still my absolute favorite season of the year. I enjoy my pumpkin spice latte on the way to work every morning, Fall activities with my family and of course I love Fall layering. It’s so easy to buy more clothes when I see amazing outfits put together by fashion/style bloggers. Thus, I feel it’s necessary to have list of things that I somewhat need and stick with it. Other than a few inexpensive items that I’ve bought here and there, I am staying true to my wish list. It is half way completed so I thought I'd share my Fall wish list with you guys

A few snapshots of Summer (clockwise): (1) & (3): Cruising and spending time at the lake, (2): Lots of ice cream from the ice cream truck (4): Summer vacation.

My Fall wish-list:
1. A pleated skirt (purchased - see my post here)
2. Colored denim (purchased - see my post here)
3. Something leopard (purchased - see my post here)
4. A classic camel coat (purchased - see my post here)
5. A pair of black tall boots (purchased - see my post here)
6. A clutch/cross body bag (purchased - see my post here)
7. A colored blazer (purchased - see my post here)
8. A pair of new flats (purchased - see my post here)
9. A gingham shirt (purchased - see my post here)
10. A pair of high-heel oxfords (purchased - see my post here)
11. A bold colored pencil skirt - (purchased - see my post here)

Readers, what's on your Fall wish-list?

Classic with a pop of color

I am definitely a classic type of girl when it comes to fashion. Even though I love incorporating bold colors to my outfits lately, I still feel comfortable wearing my neutrals. For me, adding bold accessories is the best way to dress up my plain outfits. With that in mind, I picked out this Patty Shoulder Bag when Aftershock London reached out for a mention.

Fall Wish-list Item # 4: A classic camel coat

My search for a new winter coat continues after a failed attempt with the Zara coat. Although, my original plan was to search for a mustard yellow coat, I do think camel would be much more practical and wearable than mustard. Also, camel seems to be hugely ubiquitous this Fall. I wasn’t sure about this H&M coat at first but now, I am loving it more each day.

Colorblock dress

A few of you have expressed interest in the Geri blouse that I wore in this post so I want to give a shout out to my new favorite online boutique called Velvet. The store based in Indonesia. Their clothes are chic and very affordable. Is it just me or their collections remind me so much of Zara? Velvet wanted me to introduce their July/August collection to you guys a few months ago. Unfortunately, there were a few issues with shipping and the package didn’t make it to my door until 2 months later. The dress that I am wearing in this post is already sold out. However they just launched the September collection a couple of weeks ago, be sure to check it out.



What I am wearing:
Dress: Albertine dress c/o Velvet (buy similar here - comes in petite sizes)
Blazer: Banana Republic - size 00P (buy similar here or here)
Shoes: Banana Republic Jacky Pump (buy similar here)
Necklace: Lia Sophia (buy similar here - comes in 3 colors)
Watch: Michael Kors 5128 in rose gold (buy here)
Nail color: Zoya Jinx (buy here)
