Seeing as how I just wore my Birkenstocks yesterday, I haven't really been thinking too much about Fall footwear. But! I promised you all that I would write about it, and it's October 1 and in the 50's, so let's do it...

What's in: Loafers

Splurge: Gucci Horsebit

Save: Steve Madden, ASOS , Cole Haan

How to wear them: Boyfriend denim, or cropped jeans, with or without socks

What's in: Chukka boots (aka lace up desert boots)

Splurge: Alaia

Save: Sophia Webster, Clarks, Doc Martens

How to wear them: Basic bitches need apply. What I mean by this is - you can go ahead and wear these with your leggings and your plaid flannel to go apple picking, and no one will judge you because you will look fly as hell.

What's in: Colorful stacked heel boots

Splurge: Isabel Marant

Save: ASOS 1, ASOS 2, Aldo

How to wear them: Skirts, high waisted denim.

What's in: Fancy sneaks

Splurge: Nike Air Max

Save: Nike Internationalist, Nike Pegasus

How to wear them: With anything but Lululemons. You can now go ahead and consider sneakers part of your quest for high fashion.

Gone are the days we wear nothing but brown leather boots during the Autumn months. Do tell me what you're coveting, won't you!?

We made it! We. made. it. Happy Friday to you, my friends! Thank you to everyone who sent love, light, support, and high fives to me for last night's workshop at The Brass Owl. I had such a blast and the night was a wonderful success. It's so nice to connect with fellow Astorians and lovers of fashion, and it was great going over some of this Spring's trends with Nicole, the owner of TBO (I found out last night that her background is in fashion and she was a buyer for huge companies for YEARS - super inspiring). If you haven't visited The Brass Owl, I highly encourage you to do so. And if you're sad you missed out, I've starting pinning a bunch of my spring trend picks on Pinterest, and I'd love for you to follow along!

This weekend I am getting a much needed dye job at Seagull, followed by an art show that my incredibly talented friend is hosting. Sunday we'll be house hunting again. Stuff is happening, friends. What are you up to this weekend? Please, talk to me! And, as always, my favorite links of the week:

I adore this round up of breakfast nook furniture!

I need this app.

Great wedding makeup tips.

Last night at TBO I talked about eliminating fast fashion from our style vocabulary, but this skirt (on sale!) is a great way to buy into a trend without breaking the bank.

Nothing I love more than a Parisian flat lay post.

Have you caught the early spring bloom bug?

Not into flats? That's fine, try some fancy sneakers to transition to Spring. Pair with jeans + tee, casual dresses, or pull an 80's and wear with a legit corporate look.

Perfect spring bracelet.

See you Monday!

xoxo,
