Moodboard Monday ♡

Hello my loves! Happy Monday morning to you :) I hope everyone had a nice relaxing weekend! This morning I woke up in a cheery kind of mood and I really thought it was Winter. Strange! I am loving Fall and the amazing weather, but below are some images to get your week off to a nice start. I also thought of some of these things when I woke up this morning! 

A nice cup of hot chocolate...and don't forget the marshmallows! 

How lovely are these carved candles? I want some for my window sill.

This sight made me catch my breath! The changing of the leaves is my favorite part of Fall.

I'm not gonna lie, kind of felt like staying in bed a few extra minutes this morning! :-)

What is your favorite part of Fall?

Favorite Flats

As Summer is coming to a close, we know our summer wardrobe is coming to a close as well! As much as I loved wearing my strappy sandals, I'm ready to pull out my fall shoes! My favorites for fall are booties and flats, because they can go with ANY outfit. It can take a drab look to amazing. Here are some flats I spotted and loved:

These are super adorable, and not overly girly. With just a hint of red, they're perfect to spruce up an outfit! These are $30 from H&M.

Okay, anything with leopard probably already exists in my closet. But I have yet to own these! This leopard slipper can be worn with a mix of prints, or just solid colors. Either way your lookin trendy! You can buy these at MatisseFootwear.com for $65.

These are definitely unique, but I love them. The gold buckle ontop is so chic. These are DV by Dolce Vita for $79.

Yet another shoe from H&M! You would never know you only paid $99 for these Oxfords. I would love to wear these with a gigantic sweater while sipping a hot cocoa, wouldn't you?

Well these are some of many of my favorite flats for fall! What's your favorite?

Moodboard Monday

Happy Monday lovely people!! :-) How was everyone's weekend? I had some family fly into town and they stayed for a night. It was fun! All weekend long I was gathering some fun and beautiful pictures that got me in the mood for Fall. So here are some pictures that just leave me feeling all warm and cuddly: (Warning: Lots of pumpkin!!)

My favorite part of fall is definitely the leaves changing, and the weather turning crisp and cool! Perfect for morning strolls. I love putting little decorative pumpkins everywhere around my house, accented with orange and rust colored leaves. Ahh, I just love this season. What's your favorite part of Fall?

Getting Inspirational

Happy Wednesday everyone :-) How is your week going so far? Today I finished up my last couple of tests for my school classes ( I take lessons online, loving it!) and so now I'm on my Fall break until October 7th. Nice little time off huh? So in the spare time that I have, I wanted to create some inspiration boards, because let me just say it, they really do inspire me. When I look at pictures, my mind starts racing, and thats when I'm able to really create things! Here are a few pictures of inspiration boards I thought looked SO cool:

I love the look of having multiple boards with different themes to each. Definitely going to try this in my room!

Okay, this one is a little crazy, but I LOVE it. The variety of colors and textures just screams at me.

I want this so badly!! How awesome would it be to have chalk board drawings around an inspiration board? I want to try and convince my mom to let me paint just one wall in my bedroom...but that isn't turning out very well!! 

Not only do I love the tiny frames around some of the pictures, but I also love that this is behind a computer, so when you're doing work, you become inspired! That is initially where I am going to set up my inspiration "area". I spend most of my time in my room at my antique desk doing school work or reading your lovely blogs, so that's where I intend to hang my pictures :)

I hope all of you are inspired and you create your own inspiration boards too!

Have a wonderful day :-)

Sweet Scarves

It's finally here! Today is the first day of Fall, and while many of you get to wear comfy sweaters and chunky boots, I am still stuck in the very hot summer sun (I live in the dry, but beautiful, desert of Arizona)! But that doesn't mean I can't start gathering my Fall accessories! One of my favorite pieces of clothing to add to a Fall outfit is an infinity scarf. YES! I just love them. And I think they are the easiest scarves to wear! Below are some of my favorites:

This grey knit infinity scarf is massive, but it will keep you nice and warm! And it's a great neutral to pair with darker colors, like Jessica did.

Okay this is definitely a favorite. I LOVE the warm palette on this outfit, and the matching red hair is so gorgeous. And the thing I love most about this look is the necklace that she wore! Most people think if you wear a scarf, you can't wear a necklace. But it's the total opposite. It adds that extra feminine touch :)

LOOK AT THIS SCARF! I cannot contain my excitement when it comes to fur! But the great thing about this scarf in particular is it's all faux! So you're helping the planet while looking fabulous :)


Scarves are one of my favorite accessories for Fall. What are you favorite pieces? Enjoy your first day of Fall!
