One Look, Three Ways: Convertible Jacket

This convertible jacket by Tart Collections is perfect for damp, fall weather. I wore mine yesterday while getting coffee in the rain with my sweet little family. The fabric is perfect for drizzly, autumnal weather. The best part? The sleeves and hood zip off for an instant style change. Puffy vests are so in style this season.

Fall Favourites

Autumn is my favourite season, which makes this post my favourite of the favourites! Here are my favourite things from the 2013 fall season.

Rings

I love layering and stacking my rings. I am completely head over heals with black stones at the moment and love how my two Jennie Kwon rings go so well together. One is onyx, the other, black diamonds.

Purple nail polish

This nail polish didn't chip for the better of a week. That never happens for me. Between insane amounts of typing and caring for a 5 month old, this is a feat unto itself. I also love that this is a true purple, swaying from the typical dark burgundy-near-black hue that permeates the season. Sally Hanson Complete Salon Manicure in Trouble Maker.

The Walking Dead

Elizabeth Dehn for One Love Organics Active Moisture Vitamin B Enzyme Cleansing Oil & Makeup Remover

This cleanser feels rich, moisturizing, and totally indulgent. My skin loves it.  Did I mention it's an exfoliating oil? The perfect one-two punch for cooler temps.

Pumpkin muffins

In the past two months, I have made these muffins more times than I care to admit.  I adapted this Kraft pumpkin loaf recipe for muffins. I left out the cream cheese and added chocolate chips. Heaven.

Succulents

Plaid Scarf

Sweater dresses

I am loving this sweater dress from Tart Collections for fall. It's so easy to throw on and instantly looks polished and thought-out. Not to mention, the two tone side panels are totally slimming.

DIY Friday: Great Gatsby Inspired Bracelet

I whipped up this retro little number after re-reading my Great Gatsby jewelry post.  I ordered a bunch of these pretty little rhinestone connectors and couldn't wait to start putting them to use. I decided to use the pink and gold gems with a double strand of gold chain on each side. To complete the Gatsby look, I added a gold chain tassel in the middle of the bracelet. The result is a fun, feminine, and totally flapper appropriate bracelet. Now if only we could still have parties like Gatsby's...

I can't wait to see this story come to life on the big screen and will definitely wear my Gatsby bracelet to the movie. Will you be checking out The Great Gatsby?

Maternity Fashion: The Maxi Dress

Waking up and just throwing on whatever you feel inspired by is not as option when you're 8 months pregnant. I am just starting the eighth month of pregnancy (31 weeks) and while I've been doing alright with creatively dressing the bump, I am guessing I am about to have to get a lot more creative - the bigger she gets the fewer options I am left with. I am not a huge fan of maternity clothes (aside from maternity jeans and pants, which are a necessity in my eyes) so I've been trying to buy regular flowy tops and clothes that seem to stretch and expand with my belly.

The maxi dress is a perfect example of something you can buy this season from a "regular" store that will fit your pregnant belly and stretch with you as your bump grows.  This one, from Tart Collections, is not maternity, but works beautifully as a comfortable, stylish maternity dress. If you're pregnant this spring or summer, I would definitely recommend this dress.  It's stylish, comfortable, and easy to throw on in warm weather. It's a maternity fashion no brainer.
