Hi!!!! It's Fall!!!! Yay!!!! So as you guys probably know or knew at one point before I dropped off the face of the earth, I moved to San Francisco for  PhD program. PhD programs are no joke, guys. I'm in class about 20 hours a week, I spend about 10 hours a week driving to and from class, and then I have to study. It doesn't leave me much time to look cute and do bloggery things like have brunch with people. However, this weekend I forced myself out of the apartment (which is almost fully decorated, pictures to come), and went to breakfast at the Nob Hill Grille with my new blogger friend Grace of Shmatta Style. Breakfast was pretty amazing; I've been advised if I come back its necessary to get there by 9 or you'll be waiting all day. It's an adorable little establishment, with very very large mimosas and something called bacon fritters...which I was obviously silly not to get. It was really nice to feel like a human being again in real clothes and breathe fresh air.

Are you guys loving fall?! Are you consumed with all things pumpkin? Are you loving any of the new Fall trends?! I want to know everything, while I'm in this program I am living life vicariously through all of you.

There is something so wonderful and exciting about the first time you slip on a new pair of white crisp jeans (added bonus if they are ripped). It feels like anything at all can happen that day! You're excited about what the day might bring in your wonderful new jeans, but also terrified that any wrong move will ruin your chance of ever wearing them again. White jeans are something I seem to have to buy a new pair of every year, because I ALWAYS ruin them.... yet I still love them so much! Proud to say, I survived an entire day of brunching in LA without staining them. 

As I prepare to move to San Francisco this summer (date TBD), I find myself trying to fit in brunch dates and play dates with all of my friends, and going through a running checklist of all of the things I still need to do/see before I leave! If you have any suggestions of things I must see/eat/do before I leave let me know!! Saturday I started off my Memorial Day Weekend (probably the last exciting thing i'll do this weekend), by brunching with my good friend Julia. We started our day by having some mimosas at my apartment watching Empire, one of my absolute favorite shows on tv right now. Cookie has to be one of the best female leads on tv. After this we galavanted off to 901too to get our hair blow dried together, and then off we went to AOC for some cocktails, cheese, and blueberry bread with lemon butter, and bacon wrapped dates. We originally wanted to go to Taco Modera after for a churro ice cream sandwich, but they wouldn't be open for another few hours, so we pranced over to Gracias Madre, a current LA hotspot known for its vegan mexican food and snowcone cocktails. I tried the Dude Abides with horchata and mescal and it was pretty epic. We sat at the bar and became best friends with Victor the bartender as we sipped on our handcrafted cocktails and munched on some guac and chips. I finished the day by laying in bed and beginning the 3rd season of Breaking Bad....I know I know I'm a little behind. 

Anywho.. I hope all of you beauties have a wonderful day! I'm going to sit back, sip on some tea, and continue to watch Breaking Bad. Let me guys know if you have any LA must see spots to eat or hang out before I move!

I have such a deep rooted love for overalls, so obviously I've been so happy that they have made a come back. I've been sporting them since summer 13'. I remember one of the first pair of overalls I had as a child that I literally couldn't live without and continued wearing them even as they were way to short. They were a dark washed long pair with Esmeralda on the front. They were everything!

I've linked a few of my favorite pairs of overalls below! Hope all of you guys have a beautiful Thanksgiving!! I can't wait for all the sweet potatoes my tummy is going to consume.

It's October!!!!!!!!! That means pumpkin spice everything, leggings, plaid, and all of my other fall favorites (even if the weather in LA is not currently permitting it). Some of my favorite blog posts to read are bloggers current favorites or must haves for the month. I thought i'd give it ago, despite the fact that I literally have no idea how everyone seems to make collages of this stuff. 

1. Leather Leggings 

I mean.... leggings are most absolutely pants in my mind. You will absolutely see me in leather leggings this fall. I'm a big fan of the leather and plaid combo. 

2. Graphic T's 

My favorite thing about graphic t's are there versatility. You can pair it with a pair of leather leggings, boyfriend jeans, or yoga pants and get three completely different looks from the same shirt. I tend to gravitate towards the t's that have more of a boyfriend fit, or fall off of the shoulder. 

3. Plaid Plaid Plaid 

As you know from my very first blog post, my love of plaid goes back to my love of Full House and Stephanie Tanner. I will take my plaid in any shape or form. 

4. Lounge Wear

This month is crunch time for me as I work on applications for grad school! Naturally I plan on being as comfortable as possible as I fill out application after application and write essay after essay. 

5. Booties

I'm that girl that wears booties all year round. There is no outfit in my mind that you can't wear booties with if you so desire.  These are just a few pairs i'm currently coveting. 

If you guys would like to see more of this type of post i'd love to know and I'll work on making it more visually presentable! Also if you ever have any questions about outfits or styling or just wanna throw some ideas out about posts i'd love to hear from you via email or on the comment section!

The midi length skirt and dress is making quite the comeback this fall. I have to admit I was highly skeptical that I was going to be a fan of this new trend. As I saw more and more pictures on instagram and blogs the look began to grow on me, but I was still hesitant that it was going to be a favorite on me. When I headed over to LF on Robertson blvd to check out their new fall collection and play dress up I developed a strong love for this length (there is also a leather midi I have my eye on there). 

How do you guys feel about this trend? Love it or Hate it?! Here are a few more midis that I have my eye on.

For my moms last night in LA we headed to Mercado for an early 5 o'clock dinner (I'm such an old person). I highly recommend the sweet corn and the hibiscus mezcal marg! After many days of not washing my hair I attempted to rock a top knot, which I haven't really done since I cut my hair a year ago. After 10 minutes and 15 bobby pins later I think it came out pretty good...but certainly not as time efficient as it was with long hair (and who knows what the back of it actually looked like). I've been living in this white tank top all weekend, I'm one of those people that owns 100 different plain white tops in every fit possible. I got this Aviatrix leather Vest at the LF Robertson summer sale for close to 70% off and i've been waiting for an opportunity to wear it! When my mom and I left my apartment she made a comment that I looked like a Biker Chick, and I couldn't help but agree...this is a very biker chic  outfit. I am so excited to style this vest in different ways this fall and winter, waiting for this vest to go on sale was well worth the wait.

Have a great Monday!!
