   Hello there!
There is something so fun about mixing textures in an outfit, don't you think? I think it makes the outfit so chic and interesting! I love incorporating corduroy into my wardrobe when fall rolls around. It is always so rich in color, and adds the most incredible textured-touch to an outfit! When I found this cranberry corduroy skirt at Old Navy, I squealed. I was so excited! I have a denim skirt in a very similar cut, and I love it. This is a fun, fall-twist on my favorite summertime staple. I paired it with this cozy, chunky knit sweater from ChicWish! It is over-sized, so soft, and the details are so cute! I love the hearts that are knit into the sweater. ChicWish has the most incredible knits for fall and winter, they make me feel like I just walked out of a Pinterest OOTD pin! I paired it with my new favorite booties with little bows on the back, and my heart hoops from BaubleBar. How do you feel about mixing textures in an outfit? Let me know! til next time, Emily

   Hello there!
Where are my Gossip Girl fans? Okay, and of you guys; where are my Blair Waldorf fans? The first thing I thought when I saw this sweet top was Blair's iconic style! The bows, blazers, tights, and headbands? An absolute icon! I knew I had to style this with my black circle skirt. I am debating throwing on some tights, flats, and a coordinating headband to be Blair Waldorf for Halloween! Fashionable, cute, and a good excuse to act a little prissy all night! I didn't have tights or black flats, so I reached for my go-to nude heels, and my favorite little Kate Spade bag. This sweetest little top is from ChicWish! They have it in several different colors, and if you love all of the girly, feminine details that I do you'll adore everything ChicWish has! They have several other pussy-bow tops, and I may need to grab another. I love how you can dress this up, or you could dress it down with jeans and black booties, or even to work with some black pants & nude flats. Okay, very important question; Serena or Blair? Let me know! til next time, Emily    Hello there!
As a dress lover, it is a blessing that Texas autumns are so mild. I can still wear dresses, but I can switch up the styles! Simply choosing a dress in a darker color, with more autumnal prints, and pairing it with some booties and a floppy hat- you can be a vision of fall! I fell in love with this pretty little dress from Showpo. It is still in the upper 80's in Texas, but I am so ready to dress for fall. This muted blush, with the blue floral is so pretty and unique. I love the off-the-shoulder detail with the long sleeves; still gives it an autumnal vibe without making you too hot. And, the skirt. I am such a sucker for a tired skirt! It just jives the dress so much movement, and the prettiest, feminine touch. I am wearing a size small, and it fits like a glove! Do you still love wearing dresses into fall? Let me know! til next time, Emily    Hello there!
I is October, and I am fully ready to embrace it. Pumpkin lattes, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cereal, and I kind of wanted to dress like a pumpkin. But like, in a cute way. I mean, when I think October, I think of orange- anyone else? When I saw this set from ChicWish, I knew it would be the perfect little orange outfit! It is made of a light, airy chiffon- which is perfect for a southern autumn. You know, when it is still 90 degrees and sweltering outside? I love the high neck detail on the top, along with the cuffs. And the skirt? It is actually a skort! No worries about flashing someone at the pumpkin patch! It is perfectly disguised as a skirt; with it's delicate pleated skirt and paper-bag waistline. I paired it with my favorite open-toe booties and my rose quartz Kendra Scott earrings to tie in the pink from the set. This is outside of my comfort zone, but in the cutest way possible. I love that ChicWish has all of the autumn classics I love, along with pieces like this that let e be more adventurous while still remaining feminine and classic. Does October make anyone else want to bust out some orange from your closet? Let me know! til next time, Emily    Hello there!
If you haven’t gathered by now, a dress and booties is my fall go-to. It doesn’t get cold in Texas until mid-November, so I don’t really get to bust out my chunky sweaters for my fall looks. So dresses like this are my fall uniform! This dress is from the Classically Chic Boutique! And their pieces are just that- classic and chic! This dress is trendy enough to be on-trend, with it’s tiered ruffles and button-front details, but classic enough to wear for years to come! I adore the light florals on the navy, and the ruffles are just so sweet. And, it’s only $30! It doesn’t get better than that! I paired it with my favorite pair of peep toe booties, and my amazon prime find hat. I could wear this to class, or out to dinner for date night. What is your go-to fall look? Let me know! til next time, Emily    Hello there!
It is officially fall, and the first day of October! When I think of fall, I think of October. The rich colored leaves rustling as they waltz across the pavement, pumpkin spice lattes, snickerdoodles in the oven, and Halloween movie marathons. The weather starts to cool ever so slightly here in the south, and you can feel a slight chill in the breeze. The colors of fall that come to my mind are reds, burgundy, golden yellow, toasted orange, and rich browns. This year I want to make an effort to step outside of my usual color palate, and inject some green into my fall wardrobe, along with my signature pink. This cardigan from Wooden Ships is the prettiest shade of green- it is muted, but still somehow crisp. It is light enough to wear now, but will make the perfect layering piece later on. I have gushed about my love for Wooden Ships as a brand here, and they are a company that is doing good when the world needs it the most. I paired this cutest olive cardi with my satin, lace-trimmed cami, my favorite dark wash skinny jeans, my peep-toe booties, and a floppy hat to round out all the fall feels. I feel like I need to go apple picking, or go for a hayride in this little outfit! Mauve-pink and green may be my new fall go-to; what do you think? Let me know! til next time, Emily Hello there! How is it the end of September already? It is already fall? Where has this year gone? I know I say that every month, but this year is truly flying by. Next month is the beginning of my favorite part of the year! October, November, and December are the three best months of the year, and you may fight me on that. Halloween, Thanksgiving, then Christmas and New Year's? Name a more iconic quadruple, I'll wait. But with that much excitement and anticipation around the corner, that didn't stop me from falling in love with a few things during September- so let's chat about them! (And you can shop them all here.) This Floppy Hat That's Under $20  I am not gonna lie, I thought this hat was just going to be okay-enough to be a prop for some pictures. I didn't see myself falling in love with it, or being someone that would just wear a floppy hat on a day-to-day basis. But, here I am. I am a hat person. This one is feminine, cute, fits my head, and doesn't break the bank. If you are looking for a fun little fall accessory, pick this up! This Fall Floral Top & Peep Toe Booties  Can a whole outfit be a favorite? Well it's my blog, and I say yes. More specifically- this top and these booties. This top has the prettiest fall floral with colors that mimic the colors of the changing leaves, and it just makes me swoon. And I cannot stop wearing these cutie booties from The Pink Lily Boutique- they are so comfy, cute, and versatile! This Essie Polish in 'Princess Charming'  I think I have had a new color of this Essie polish in my favorites every month this year, but it is just my favorite polish! I love this color because it is still a lighter pink, but it is a little more muted which makes it the perfect fall transitional color. These Headphones from Sudio  'I partnered up to do a few posts with Sudio earlier this month, but now I am just talking about these earbuds because they are just that good. I run 4 to 5 miles a day, and walk around a college campus for around 2 or 3 hours a day- and these headphones have made all of that so much more pleasant! I had been rocking my wired headphones, but I don't know if I can go back after using these. The sound quality is amazing, the battery life lasts several days of near-constant use, and I love how stylish they are! I am a sucker for rose gold. Not getting paid, not obligated to talk about them, theyre just a favorite! You can shop them here, and you can use code BlueB15 for 15% off! (Not an affiliate/ commission code, just a lil something for you!) This Podcast  Me? Talking about murder? On my blog of sunshine, roses, and twirly dresses? Yep, I sure am. I grew up watching Forensic Files with my mom and older brother, which turned into Investigation Discovery marathons with my mom as I got older, and now to Karen and Georgia putting a hilariously sadistic spin on some of the most infamous murders in history. It’s captivating, hysterical, and I feel like Karen and Georgia are my new BFFs! If you’re looking for something to get into the Halloween spirit, or get you through the day, give this podcast a try & thank me later. What have you been loving this month? Let me know!

I never thought I would be one to walk around in a floppy hat on a day-to-day basis, but here I am. It has become one of my go-to accessories to make an outfit feel a little more fall. Fall is officially here, and I will be living in outfits just like this one! This frilly, floral, peplum, lace-trimmed top is from ChicWish! Their selection of fall stuff is absolutely drool-worthy, and this top is no exception. I love all of the little, dainty details that come together to make such a lovely and feminine piece. The pink on beige floral makes it easy to transition to fall, but I'll be breaking it out in the spring as well! I am wearing them with my favorite dark-wash jeans from Old Navy, and by jeans I mean jeggings. I popped on my Pink Lily peep-toe booties, and my favorite floppy hat to make it feel like a fall 'fit.

The weather forecast is now in the lower 90's- so that means it is fall now, right? Well, I am going to pretend! i picked up this cardi from ChicWish in cream a few weeks ago, and loved it so much I needed another color! ChicWish has the best chunky, cozy knits for fall. All of their stuff makes me feel like I just stepped out of a perfectly-styled Pinterest picture. I love how chunky, soft, and unique this cardigan is! I paired it with a little silk cami with a tone-on-tone leopard print inlaid into the stitching. It also has the cutest little button details- it is incredibly cute & less than $20 from target! I dressed it up with my darkest wash of skinny jeans, nude heels, and my pearl-studded headband from amazon. This screams fall date night to me! You could also dress this cardi down with a tee and riding boots for an effortlessly chic fall look. Do you love chunky knits as much as me? Let me know! til next time, Emily    Hello there!
I have to admit, I have never been a fan of animal print. It never really seemed like my style; not my colors, and seemed to chic and cool for me to pull off. But after months and months of seeing leopard everything everywhere, and it looking so cute on everyone else, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and give it a try. I saw this leopard sweater from ChicWish, and I loved a few things about it. First off, I loved that it was so neutral. It isn't in-your-face leopard, its beige-on-beige and ultra neutral. I knew I would pair it with my more feminine pieces to really make an outfit that was my style. I also loved the shape of it; over-sized with a puff sleeve is my favorite kind of sweater. And I am a massive fan of all of ChicWish's sweaters- they are always such nice quality, so soft, and fit just how I want them to. When I got this piece in the mail, I was even more excited. It is so soft, and I could really see myself working it into my autumn wardrobe. Here I styled it with my favorite velvet and pearl headband, my rose gold watch, and my little peep toe booties. I would also wear it with a denim skirt, a pink scarf thrown over when it gets colder, or even white jeans in the spring. After tipping my toes in the animal-print trend, I will definitely be keeping my eyes out for more pieces that match my style! Do you love or hate the animal print trend?
