Fall Wishlist

Before I begin this blog post (my very first one) I am going to introduce myself a little bit. I call sunny south Florida my home, but I am currently living north for college. I started this blog simply as an outlet away from school and work that I can talk about and share things I love. Some of these loves include fashion, good books, traveling, coffee, and food. As someone who loves reading blogs, I understand that the blogging world, in several forms, is oversaturated. I didn't start this to become famous or make money. I did this, as I stated earlier, as an outlet for my own self. 

However, if I can start a conversation, or interact with someone on something we both love, I think that would be great of course. :) Below, I've rounded up only a few items I have been eyeing lately. I tend to hop around J. Crew Factory and Nordstrom for some clothing inspiration - at a decent price point. If I'm looking to splurge, Ralph Lauren, Ted Baker, and Draper James are my go-to's. When I'm looking to save, H&M, Forever21, and boohoo are the sites I search about and pick apart. 

Long-sleeve mock-neck pullover - Last year, J. Crew Factory had an almost identical sweater that they released that I had long debated but never purchased. After realizing my college location is quite cold from December-February, I wish I would have purchased it. Luckily, this year a version is back. It is a little different do to the design detailing on the overall sweater, but I actually like it even more than last years. It is $55.50 and available in every size. 

Cotton-wool Teddie sweater - Again, last year, J. Crew Factory came out with a similar Teddie sweater. There were several patters but the one I purchased (and still own - the quality is fabulous) is  thick cognac and white stripes. Currently, this sweater is available in every size along with many color options. It is $42.50.

Petite gingham button-down - This shirt is also available in regular sizes, but I am relatively short (5'2") so I find petite sizes for more structured clothing items fits me better. I have actually never owned anything gingham - the pattern makes me nervous. I am fairly modest with the clothes I actually wear, adoring the styles I love from afar. It is something I am looking forward to change. Another reason for starting my blog - to help me grow as a person! Anyways, this shirt is classic and under $40 at $36.50. 

Rockaway wash skinny jean - Lastly, classic skinny jeans. I am actually in need of a good pair of denim. I hear good things about J. Crew denim and am anxious to try them. There are several denim options available - all in many sizes, styles, and colors. These particular jeans are priced fantastically at $39.95.

I look forward to sharing my loves with anyone who wants to join me! If you've stopped by (and hopefully enjoy reading along) thank you, and feel free to keep checking for new posts. xx
