 Hello Monday. 

I'm not sure how it happens, but you always arrive before I've even had time to fully enjoy the weekend! 

I hope all of you lovelies had a wonderful weekend. I spent a lot of mine snuggled up in bed or on the couch with a cold. Colds may be a pretty tame ailment, but there is nothing worse than the start of a cold when it feels like you go through a box of tissues in one sitting and you sneeze a minimum of 15 times in 10 minutes. Cute...I know. Luckily I had sweet Stella (and my husband, of course) to keep me company. We watched a lot of football and The Office (my new favorite show...how I am just discovering it?!). Hopefully this week will go easy on me! 

I've already worn multiple capes/ponchos/ruanas (what exactly is their official name?!) on the blog. It is my favorite way to stay warm and cozy this fall. This grey option is currently my favorite as it goes with just about anything and I am obsessed with the tassels on the bottom. It is great quality and really does a good job of keeping me warm! You can't see her, but in over half of the pictures we took this day, Stella was wandering around at my feet. She just got a haircut (as seen below) and it has completely changed her look! I am so in love with my sweet pup...yes, I am a crazy dog-mama!

Meet my newest obsession.

Grey skinnies. 

Guys, there is nothing better for fall than a pair of great grey skinny jeans! This pair fits like an absolute glove and go with just about anything. I am loving grey tones for fall! I paired them with a plain, sheer white top, a turquoise necklace and my favorite black booties for an easy fall outfit. I topped it off with my new Kelly Wynne wristlet that I am also obsessing over at the moment! I can't get over the fun fringe and retro black croco. This is a wristlet that will be used year round!

Dressed in Stripes with Mott 50

 Dress: Mott 50 'Toni' Boatneck Dress c/o // Shoes: Dolce Vita // Hat: Mott 50 'Giselle' c/o // Bag: Rebecca Minkoff // Ring: Kendra Scott  // 

 Would you believe me if I told you this outfit was 50 UPF (ultraviolet protection factor)? Meaning I can wear this outfit out to the beach and look absolutely chic while protecting my skin from those harmful UV rays. It's the truth! Despite how adorable this outfit is, it's made with special ultraviolet protection that helps protect from the sun. Mott 50 is a fairly new company that offers "fashion-forward sun protective clothing in soft, lightweight fabrics." After wearing this dress for the past few weeks (yes, it has been on major repeat), I have become a huge Mott 50 fan! Not only is this dress comfortable, but it also has a flattering fit and can easily be transitioned into the fall with boots! I love knowing that I can wear this out in the heat of the day and my skin is also being protected from those harsh summertime rays! I'm not saying this is a good alternative to sunscreening, but rather an extra layer of protection!

One of my absolute favorite things about this dress, is it is so on trend with the stripe pattern! I am loving all striped dresses lately, from t-shirt to maxi dresses! Shop some adorable striped options here.

Floral Shift Dress

 Dress: Antique Garden 'Blue and Floral' Shift Dress c/o // Shoes: Dolce Vita 'Nessah' // Earrings: Bauble Bar 'Acid Fringe Drops' in coral // Bracelets: Bauble Bar 'Reef' set // Bag: Rebecca Minkoff // Sunnies: Ray-ban//

Anybody remember that feeling of finding your first day of school outfit? Back to school shopping was always my favorite time of year, and I got practically giddy as I laid out what I would be wearing that very first day back, even if it was a few weeks...or a month in advance. Being a teacher, I still get to have a "first day of school" outfit and I'm not going to lie, I LOVE it. When I tried on this Antique Garden shift dress, I had that same feeling I used to get when I was younger...this is the one! It may be a month and a half in advance, but I will definitely be wearing this sweet printed shift when the first bell of the year rings in September! 

Please tell me I'm not the only one who picks/picked out first day of school outfits so far in advance!
