fashion week favorites (so far)

Normally, fashion week is so intimidating to me that I can only bring myself to glance over a few collections before I get overwhelmed. This season, for whatever reason, I've been glued to my computer each morning in anticipation of reviews and recaps of the shows. I love high fashion but I like to call myself a "real person's stylist," committed to affordable or revamped already-owned fashion. I have so enjoyed, however, making the connection between what comes down the runway and what we put on our backs from say, Gap or H&M.

Here are a few looks from fashion week I think you'd dig:

_ARC0128

Altuzarra

So much sexy leg and tie-dye. It's a bougie 90's remix!

Zimmermann

Makes me wish I was getting married in a field amidst some lambs.

Marissa Webb

It's really difficult to choose one look from this collection (there's an entire large scale plaid look).

And that's what's taking up some of my brain space today!

picture of the week

By the sea, Labor Day 2015 Happy Fridayyyyyyy to you! I am in a wonderful mood because it is currently 67 degress out and there's a lovely breeze happening. I am so craving weather in the 50's-60's, but I'll take the cool mornings and nights over summer any day. What are you up to this weekend? We're laying low and will inevitably wind up working on wedding plans. After last weekend it will be nice to stay local and just recuperate. The blogs are in a frenzy over fashion week and I've got some goodness for you below with my favorite links of the week!

The 50 minute phone rule. I am weak.

How to remove a wine stain (and other helpful hacks).

Love seeing this misogynist put squarely in his place!

If I wasn't addicted to gel manis, this would be my go-to.

Just ordered this for an upcoming wedding! Fingers crossed it works!

I'll take any of these trips, please.

Pumpkin spice recipes at home. Hey, Fall!

I told you so.

Desperately trying to find a reason (and the funds) to purchase these.

See you next week! (exciting announcement will be happening!)

xoxo,

My thoughts are with all those affected by the tragedy that happened 14 years ago today.
