Things I Love: Three Oh Seven

Twenty seven years ago I also became a big sister. On March 7th, 1984 I got a best friend, lifelong dress up partner and someone to help double my Barbie collection. Having a younger sister gave me she gave me an excuse to listen to Hanson (I was bit too old), allowed me to exercise my bossy muscle (perhaps too much), and I got to live vicariously through her when she went to grad school in Malibu. My sister and I have had so much fun over the years and we still do. I love to go visit her in LA and star stalk and shop with her -- I can't wait to make a trip down to see her soon!

Happy Birthday sis!
I love you Andi!

Are you a big sister? Little Sister? Only child? Twin??

How I Shop: Wish List and Closet Shopping

I woke up this morning and it felt nothing of August. The wind is blowing the, the sun isn't out and it's just down right gloomy. I have been trying hard to fend off the fall fashion rush but the weather today is just making it hard.
Instead of running out to buy a bunch of impulse items, I decided to use my Free People August Moroccan inspired Look Book to help me figure what I already had in my closet. And also to help me narrow down what I could put on my wish list.
I flipped through the look book to determine what looks I could create with what I already have in my closet. I find that it's a great method to help you shop your own closet, and use pieces in ways you wouldn't have thought about before. And it kind of reminds me of playing with my Barbies, only she had way more pink stilettos and ball gowns.

I knew I would love everything when I saw this cover.

And my version, minus the camel. Accessories would make this look pop.

One thing I love about Fall fashion is layers. Chances are there are plenty of items in your closet ready to be reworked just by layering them differently.

I also loved the sock and wedges aspect of this look.

When I saw this look I was immediately reminded of an old yellow scarf I had. I would have never thought to style it like this.

And some other looks and shots I loved.

I am loving maxi skirts right now. And a plaid one just seems so perfect for fall.
I am putting this on my let's make a steal DIY list!

I just loved this vest, so awesome. A vintage version would be killer.

I loved the softness of this look, so romantic.

I absolutely love this biker jacket and skirt. But at $856 and $198 I'm pretty sure they won't be added to my closet. I wonder if the skirt could be DIYed I just don't know if I could pull off the same awesome ruffles.

Great layering in this styling.

Again I love the plaid.

Cargo leggings are definitely on my Fall wish list. And I'm a sucker for jackets like this one.
I have been wearing turban headband often as well, I just wish I had unruly hair like her.

And I absolutely need this jacket in my life. And the Skinny cords, LOVE!

What are you loving for fall this season?
