Spotlight On: Rainbow Stripes for Fall

aaaaand, we’re back with another roundup of pieces we can’t get enough of! In this installment, we bring you one of fall’s most fun trends: rainbow stripes! As previously self-professed minimalists, building our wardrobes out of mostly black, the times they are a changin! Everyone’s fashion and style choices evolve over time, and as bloggers it’s interesting for us to see exactly how it happens, since we are constantly documenting our looks.

From insta-stories and instagrams, to previewing our always full online shopping carts, we are constantly reminded of our changing tastes. And oddly enough, we both picked up on this “trend” (even though I hate the word trend) separately, and both purchased a couple rainbow striped pieces! You know what they say, great minds think alike 🙂 I guess it isn’t all that surprising, since we both like to make bold statements when it comes to our looks!


Do you find yourself noticing your fashion evolution as it happens or after the fact? 

PS. HIGHLY recommend SToK Cold Brew! Affordable + delicious.

My Go-To Shoes For Fall: White Combat Boots

Well, friends, I’m going to be perfectly honest with you. I wrote out this whole post about how I splurged major on these combat boots and how they were worth the price tag.  After writing the whole post, I clicked on the link, only to find they are sold out of most sizes AND they’re on sale. SO! If you wear a 6.5, 7.5 or 8.5, hurry on up and grab these for $115.

Luckily, a bunch of brands are showing this trend this fall so there are plenty of other pairs out there – almost identical in fact.  SO instead of me rambling on and trying to convince myself that I spent my hard earned cash on this pair of boots and it was totally worth it – I’ll leave you with a round-up of a few other pairs and two of my favorite looks to date.

3 Ways to Wear Red This Fall

We have clearly been having an ongoing love affair with red for quite some time. I posted about red dresses for summer a couple of months ago, Catherine wrote about shopping affordable red pieces back in March and if you follow along with us on instagram, red has been the pop of color per choice for quite some time now!

In the name of authenticity, we are still wearing red, so we are going to keep posting about red.  Everyone else may be writing about “sweaters for fall!” and “best trenches for the season” — and we will of course be doing that eventually, but for now our natural instinct is to post about whats relevant to us atm. How many times did I said red in this post? Let’s see, 5 already and there’s no end in sight. Read on for how to wear the red trend three ways as we transition into fall.

Our Stay at Loews Atlanta For Taylor Swift

A few weeks ago, we traveled down to Atlanta for what would be one of the indisputably best weekends of our lives! Knowing we were going to be seeing the queen, Taylor Swift, we wanted to make sure that everything else about the weekend was going to be amazing as well.  Accommodations are always key for us, as we simply love a good hotel stay and want to have the perfect “home base” for our trips. We were so happy to collaborate with the Loews Atlanta Hotel as a part of this adventure and are excited to share a photo diary + some key reasons why the Loews is the way to go. Situated in the heart of midtown, it was truly the perfect place for us to be, with easy access to all of the places we planned to visit over the course of the weekend.
