picture of the week

Outtake from yesterday's Instagram tip! It's here! Does anyone else feel like it took 3 weeks to get from Monday to Friday? Well it's here, and I couldn't be happier. I have the day free to get a bunch of wedding related tasks done, and tomorrow we're headed to see our AMAZING friends Lexie and Mike get married! I am torn between loving this warm weather we're having and hoping for cooler temps...regardless, hopefully this weekend is gorgeous! Whatever you're doing, enjoy! As always, my favorite links this week:

What it's like to be an Aunt (my sister and SIL told me this is spot on, ps I'm totally Auntie Allie).

Have you all heard of these undies (click that link for $10 credit)? I ordered some and will report back!

A gorgeous wedding.

Hoping to add this to my fall wardrobe.

To make you smile.

It's never too early to start thinking about Christmas decorations.

I'm so excited to announce that I've been accepted as a Style Me Pretty Little Black Book vendor! See my listing here and feel free to spread the word!

Until next week!

moodboard :: fall uniform

in

Seeing as how the weather dropped into the 50's overnight (you know it's chilly when Charlie decides to burrow under the covers), I thought it was high time for a Fall moodboard. It's been forever since I've done one, and that is just silly. Do enjoy this outfit which I'd like to live in for the next 2 months: 9_21_15_fall_uniform

 

// shirt // jeans // bag // watch // shoes //

All I want to do is mix and match patterns this fall, which will be easy because, as is evidenced above, they are everywhere (as are 70's tributes). Frame denim is killing it (and killing me). Should you splurge on one piece this fall, let it be one of their blouses or cropped flares. You know what else is everywhere? Suede. And fringe. Love this clutch, which could easily be a wallet or makeup bag. And I never thought I'd say this, but all I want to do is wear heels. These DVF pumps have been on my radar for months, but I also love the idea of pairing boots with cropped denim.

Happy Monday, indeed.

xoxo,

ALLIE SIGNATURE

I'm the type of gal who needs to see something to believe it's possible. I don't, admittedly, get zaps of inspiration from sitting and staring out the window. I like my inspiration a click away, walking down the street, or materializing from a conversation with someone awesome (this happens a lot with friends :).

The outfit above is something I normally would never consider for myself. I'm typically more inclined to fitted silhouettes and a darker palate, but I was inspired while making my blog rounds! Everything a little oversized and neutral, which leaves lots of room to admire the pedicure I know everyone got this weekend (we think, we hope, we feel that spring has finally sprung!). Note to self: wear more silk scarves.

Are you guys feeling this outfit? What trend or sartorial idea has you wanting to mix it up lately?

What if we all went into Monday with the same excitement that we take into Friday? The day just got a little happier, no? The sun has done wonders for my mood, and it usually starts with a peek into my closet to try something new. I think I'll go with something colorful like the above, and this coat, which is perfect for spring.

By the way, do you guys enjoy these little fashion mood boards that we do? Holler at us if you'd like to see something different!
Happy Monday :)
