Purple Pumps

Happy Sunday!

It's been pretty cloudy here in Albuquerque lately and I decided to brighten up my day with these bold Jessica Simpson heels. I am seriously obsessed with the color because it works for literally any season! I bought them at Marshall's a few weeks ago, but I linked Jessica Simpson's most recent version of the shoes. I matched it with my new favorite Mac lipstick, Heroine. It was almost an exact match to the color of the shoes, which I was pretty excited about. If you're looking for a purple lipstick that isn't too intense, I would definitely recommend it!

I was also wearing my white Lauren Conrad cardigan. I bought this from Kohl's a few years ago, but recently found it and remembered how much I love it. I especially love the bow and lace details in the back- so cute and girly! I'm pretty sure it was from her Cinderella line, which makes it even better since it combines my two favorite things: Disney and fashion. As for accessories, both my necklace and the watch are from Charming Charlie. Rose Gold has been my favorite color for jewelry lately, and I love both these pieces because they are equally affordable and beautiful!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Black & White Stripes

Happy Thursday!

This past week, Matt and I took a short trip to Arizona. We spent most of our time in Scottsdale and Tempe (which, by the way, are super cute cities). I couldn't help but hit both Fashion Square in Scottsdale and the Tempe Marketplace in one day.

This black and white striped top was perfect for a day of shopping! I absolutely love cold shoulder tops and mock turtlenecks, and this top perfectly combines both. I decided to pair it with a big black purse from Charming Charlie and this simple black booties from Target (I found similar ones at Charlotte Russe). Overall, I had a great time in Arizona, and I'll definitely be visiting Scottsdale and Tempe again soon!

Have a great weekend!

Fall Fashion

Happy October!

I am so excited that it is finally fall. This is definitely my favorite season for fashion because I am absolutely obsessed with sweaters, long socks, boots, and scarves. I decided to kick off this amazing month by going to McCall’s Pumpkin Patch in New Mexico. Because I hadn’t been since I was a little girl, it was a great experience!

Today’s outfit included my favorite scarf. I love the gold color, and the metallic shine. I bought this scarf a few years ago at American Eagle, but I found similar ones recently at Charming Charlie’s. I paired it with an olive green button up, medium wash jeans and these super cute lace-up booties from JustFab. These boots are the perfect shoes for fall for so many reasons. First of all, the taupe color makes it easy to pair them with many different outfits. The chunky heel is also super comfortable and easy to walk in, so you can wear them almost anywhere! I put this theory to the test in the corn maze, and even though we spent a few hours walking around aimlessly (Matt refused to look at the map until the very end), my feet were not in any pain. I also chose to wear my favorite fall lipstick, Plum Dandy by Mac. The metallic plum lipstick has gold glitter in it, making it a beautiful fall color. I

I hope you’ve enjoyed the beginning of this great season!

Have a great week,

P.S. Please excuse the bright red wristband on my right hand! I had to wear it to get in to the Pumpkin Patch and they wouldn't let me walk around without it on.

Happy Wednesday!

Fall may be right around the corner, but that’s no reason to stop enjoying the final moments of summer in bright colors. This fuchsia tank is perfect for that! To make the color stand out even more, I paired it with white pumps and white pants.

I’ve loved every second of summer, but I am actually super excited for fall. It’s my absolute favorite season for fashion because I’m obsessed with sweaters, boots, and scarves. Because of this, I will definitely be posting a lot more within the next couple months.

Hope you all have a great week!

Office Wear

12:03:00 PM

Happy Tuesday,

I'll admit, I'm always a little sad once the weekend is officially over. However, getting out of bed on Monday morning is much easier when I have a chic outfit planned out to wear to the office. First of all, I work on campus at the University of New Mexico, and am normally parked pretty far from the office. Because of this, I almost always wear either flats or low heels to work. I chose these maroon heels to give the black and white outfit a pop of color. They actually have cushion built in on the inside, so they are super comfortable to walk in.

I almost always bring my lunch and a couple snacks to work, so this purse is perfect for carrying everything I need. It is even big enough to hold a notepad or a notebook if I have to take notes in a meeting! I love the grid pattern top because it isn't too attention grabbing for the office, but is the perfect balance of fun and classy. I couldn't find the exact top (I bought it at H&M) but I found two fairly similar styles that I linked below. I bought the black trousers at T.J. Maxx, but I linked a similar pair I found at Macy's. Because I'm almost always tired on Mondays, I usually throw my hair in a sleek pony so I can sleep in just a little longer (even 10 extra minutes makes a huge difference for me).

I hope you all have a great week!

Blush & Rose Gold

Happy Friday!

Today's post features my absolute favorite color combo: blush and rose gold. I wore this on a date to the Botanical Gardens in Albuquerque and it was truly the perfect outfit. The chic pink top has a cute bow in the back (the perfect girly touch)! The distressed jeans are from Justfab.com. I was hesitant to buy them at first because I'm not big on buying clothes online but they fit perfectly and are actually super high quality! The shoes are from Nine West, but I linked some similar ones I found online at Nordstrom. I love the lace up look, and I think the tan color really compliments the blush top and rose gold watch.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!
