Comfy Fall Layers






Comfy clothes are the best clothes. Once I started graduate school - I began wearing scrubs daily. Let me tell you....once you go scrubs, you never go back. Hah! The thought of wearing jeans on the weekend seemed like torture, so leggings became my new best friend. And as one who has worn leggings all throughout college, I now consider myself a "legging connoisseur" of sorts. I've tried just about every brand imaginable, but somehow you always end up with stretched out or faded leggings after a few weeks.

I just recently stumbled upon Yummie by Heather Thomson and y'all. Legging game changer. I started wearing her Milan leggings and fell in LOVE. So much so, that I got another pair....and am seriously considering getting a pair for every day of the week. These are the perfect amount of stretchy, they never fade or stretch out, and they're a little higher waisted which I love. They're thick....but not too thick if you know what I mean. Thick enough to be opaque, but not so thick they're hot. Y'all - I know I sound like I'm some type of crazy legging legging, but these are seriously THAT good. 

They're also perfect to wear with tunics, this one is from Yummie as well! It has little thumb holes to keep your hands nice and toasty. Plus - it has a little hood. It's also super soft and great alone or layered. Shop this look below!

Fall Layers









So...it's already basically winter in Arkansas, but I'm soaking up all the fall fashion I can get. I have a new found love for over the knee boots. They're perfect for when you still want to wear a dress - but it's freezing out. Plus, this pair is super comfy {and won't break the bank which is always a plus}.

For me, layers are a necessity in the fall. I'm hot one minute and freezing the next. This corduroy shirt dress is literally the best! You can wear it by itself or wear it open and layer it with anything. Plus, it's a great neutral color, so it goes with everything! When I'm running out the door, I can grab it whenever I think I may need a jacket later. It was the perfect pair for this lace-up dress. It's short sleeve - but it's pretty thick! Which I love because it's not clingy and it's heavy enough to hang well. Both of these dresses are from my friends over at Shop Maude. If you haven't checked them out yet, you're missing out! One of my all-time favorite boutiques.

And no outfit is complete without a little bling. Y'all know I can never say enough fabulous things about Kendra Scott. And this earring/necklace combo is no different. Plus their new line of necklaces have the best clasp ever. You can slide the clasp to make the necklace into a choker, or a pendant or anywhere in between!

Seeing Burgundy









Burgundy will forever be my favorite fall color. Followed closely by olive. But this maxi dress is 
a) the perfect burgundy shade 
b) the softest thing ever (duh - it's from the Pure Jill Collection)
c) long and warm and perfect for fall

I love when clothing feels like pajamas and this my friends, fits the bill. It's so comfy and it's thick enough to be warm, but not too thick that you feel like you're wearing a ridiculous amount of fabric. It's perfect with booties for the fall - but I plan on styling it tall boots in the winter!

And of course I added my favorite fall accessories - a good blanket scarf and a military jacket. Shop this look below!

Kendra Love













Hello. My name is Emily, and I'm a Kendra Scott addict.

If you've been following me for any amount of time, you know that I have a Kendra obsession. Her jewelry is absolutely gorgeous - and every time I think that she can't out-do herself, she releases a line even more fabulous! And this winter collection is no exception. Their latest metal, Hematite, is quickly become a new staple of mine. It's a little softer than Gunmetal - but still smokier than typical silver. It's perfect for the holiday season!

This Mackenzie Pendant is a part of the new line and has the BEST clasp ever! It has a sliding bead closure so you can style it as a choker or a pendent and get it to the exact length your heart desires. And don't get me started on these Madison earrings. I'm pretty sure Kendra looked into my soul before designing these bad boys. Blinged out ear climbers!? Yes please. These will be making an appearance at EVERY holiday party I attend this year. 

Check out her new winter collection here. Trust me - you need it all.

All Laced Up












I'm sure you've already seen this sweater a bazillion times because it's EVERYWHERE this fall. But, I had to post it too because it's just that good. Lace up is a huge trend this fall, so whenever it's combined with a comfy sweater - you know it's going to be in my closet. Plus, it's a great neutral color so it's perfect for layering with vests, jackets and scarves as it gets colder! I kept my accessories pretty neutral but added in some leopard because, let's be real, you can never go wrong with leopard. Just ask Shania Twain (almost dressed up as that for Halloween...and if you don't know what I'm talking about, you need to google it! Hah!).

And I know you're all shocked - but I wore my fave burgundy lipstick again. But like really, I own every shade of this lipstick because I'm obsessed.
