Fall is here, for some of us that can be the time to unveil brand new fashions and styles. To get out of one's comfort zones and express their individual style. When I saw my blogger babes at New York Fashion Week a couple of weeks back there were two shoe trends I kept seeing. One being white boots and two being embroidered shoes. I fell in love lets just say, as a college student and young millennial 20 something I like affordable without skipping out on luxury.
So I started my search high and low
And I am sure you all can figure out where in fact I went to find these two trends. Tj maxx and Marshalls. I found one pair that I LOVED, but this is a trend not a forever trend for me and adjusting to $50 was not for this girl. So I continued on, and found the perfect pair on sale at Marshalls for under $20 and let me just say I was PUMPED. So the next part that came with this entire thing was how do I style them???
The hardest part of all... but in actuality, it was not.
These shoes are everything I wanted a low heel, bootie, and of course a cute print. All of the recommendations I had for myself if I was in fact, going to purchase a pair of these shoes.
My final piece of advice for everyone, trends can come and they can go. However, if you want to try a new seasonal trend don't be afraid to try it. You might fall in love with the idea and it might completely change you. I rounded up some of my very favorite embroidered booties for fall. All that are super affordable and perfect for a person on a budget that wants to try a hot new fall trend.
So many times I get asked how I buy the perfect denim and the perfect jeans for my body type. The truth is I am a person that has no clue what her body shape is and what style looks good on her. However, one thing is certain I know what blends and type of jeans I do like. So this comes in today's post I wanted to cover everything I know when it comes to buying black jeans and what I look for in a good pair of black jeans.
Why should you have a pair?
They go with just about anything for one. The number one thing I loved was how they can be worn for just about any season. Which was something truly amazing to me. How many pieces do we on in our closet that can be actually worn with everything under the sun??
They are comfy
Yes you heard me right, they are so comfortable. These ones that I am wearing throughout today's post are all Old Navy. And I love the cotton blend of these ones. They are stretchy and breathable and perfect to wear. Another thing I love about these jeans is they are high waisted. The high rise of these jeans make for a perfect tuck. Which is something I love especially because I have tendencies sometimes in jeans to have odd looking hips in jeans.
Finally, they look good on any body shape!!!
Yes, you heard me correct, they look good on anyone, that might be of any shape. They complement anyone's body shape which is something that I think is so amazing. I see so many girls in black jeans and they might be a 00 or a 10 and they always look good in dark wash jeans. For so many reasons, they flatten, tuck and accentuate your body!

Blondes and Hot pink? What is a better combination? I never was a pink girl by any means but recently I have turned into a lover of pink. We all know how much I love this dress from Franchesca's that I purchased back in July. I was eyeing it up for some time now and finally I took the plunge and added to my closet. Truth is it's one of the comfiest and cutest dresses I own in my closet. Since purchasing it I have worn it a hand full of times and have now decided to make it my power color. Just kidding but seriously I am hooked to this color!
Besides my love for this dress, I am starting a two part series where I style some looks for wedding season. I have quite a few weddings that I am going to be attending this September and I decided to share with you guys how I style some dresses in my closet. I am also incorporating some pieces from Prep Obsessed and y'all can we take a moment to take in how gorgeous this pearl necklace is? Legit one of the most gorgeous pearl pieces I own.
I feel like when it comes to wedding season we can have a lot of trouble with finding pieces and dresses. Last year I did a blog post discussing 5 tips and tricks I follow for wedding season. I linked it right here in case you guys want to check it out!
Y'all I am having some serious catching up to do. After a solid week away from the blog to have some vacation time and rest and relaxation. I am so excited to finally be back in business around here on the blog. So what have I been up to you may ask!
Well...
Two weekends ago, I went to Nashville with some of my very favorite blogger babes. I love these girls beyond words, and so spending a weekend with them was a huge and wonderful honor. I had such a blast with them, in the next few weeks make sure to look out for a total recap of the weekend with my favorite gals ever. After being home from Nashville for one day. Connor and I departed for Myrtle Beach for a week vacation with my family that Monday. It was so nice to be surrounded by family and not work and just enjoy the simple things in life.
On top of that, I am back to the old college grind today. Yes, today starts the new semester and my Junior year of college. Can you guys believe I am a junior??? Because I feel like yesterday I just started college. Now a junior, insane to me!
Now on to today's post....
Okay, I may have said this a few times but I have this thing for a good denim dress. Like what is the best piece of clothing to have for fall? It has to be a good denim dress, you can wear them with booties, slides, flats and a wedge. Making it the universal dress to have in one's closet. When I got this adorable dress from PB&J Boutique, I fell in love with the denim, of this dress. That might sound weird but the light wash of this denim makes it perfect for the transition to the next season. Not to mention the ends of this dress are frayed which adds some dramatic and fabulous detail to it. Oh and this little number has POCKETS, this is a huge important factor over here for me. PB&J has the cutest dresses for the changing season but this one stole my heart and it comes at such a good price.
I am beyond ready for fall to roll around however, I am not ready to just switch up my closet just like that. So for me, This dress makes for the perfect transition to the season. I am also loving these shoes, from Marshalls. I picked them up a few weeks ago before I left for Nashville and wore them the majority of the time I was there. Not only are they the perfect color for fall but they are the perfect wedge. Not too tall and not too short. Which makes for the perfect shoe if you ask me.
Not to mention they come in so many wonderful colors. I linked tons of other options below that are awesome for summer/ late summer.
Excited to be back finally, I missed you guys more than anything!
Thank you so much to PB&J sponsoring this post today!
Does anyone else purchase things and then forget they have them for the longest time. Until one day it reappears in the life of your closet? Well for me it was this blue embroidery kimono. Last summer around this time I purchased this gorgeous piece on vacation. And let me just say I was in love with it. It was perfect and I was determined to wear it for fall. However, the new season comes and I forget the real reason I purchased this piece. Until one day it reappears and you remember where you are going to wear it to.
Well for me it was last week. Again let's remember I hate shorts always will and never will get over that hump in life. However, by wearing this kimono I was able to get over that hump. Let's not forget to mention it is super airy and comfortable. A win win for both here.
This week is so exciting for me. I am leaving for Nashville this Thursday and I am so excited to be going with some awesome blogger babes. These ladies are friends that I have met on Instagram and we are going to have some serious fun! This is my first time flying and I won't lie I am so nervous, but I am positive I will be okay! Make sure to follow along on Instagram and on Twitter to see all the fun going on!
