This top has my two favorite colors (burgundy and purple) so you can bet it is going to be getting a lot of wear this coming Autumn! It is also SUPER soft, so it's a win win! I wore this last week to get a "trim." I scheduled a haircut intending to get a good amount taken off but ended up with just an inch to get rid of split ends. What can I say, I like long hair and am afraid of haircuts! My last cut before this was December 2013, but that was a more dramatic cut.

It is becoming a tradition for Lydia and I to head to NYC for the RewardStyle New York Fashion Week party. It's always a good time meeting old and new blog friends with a great view of the city. With the change of location for NYFW, the venue for the party changed as well. Instead of The Empire Hotel it was at the Hotel Americano.  I got to see a bunch of old blogger friends (even if it was just a quick hello - the party was super busy!) and met some new ones as well.

Nike was there to help us create our very own NIKEiD shoes! I can't wait for mine to arrive. It takes about a month, but they're custom made to your specifications so totally worth it! I got mine with spotted pony hair and purple accents!

I attempted the curl my hair for the day, but it didn't go so well. I just can't seem to work a curling wand (or curling iron...or any hair tool.)

Notice my little nod to Star Wars in this outfit, I couldn't resist wearing the cute lapel pin Kohl's gave me during my photoshoot last week! Hopefully I'll have the official photos from the shoot to share soon as well as a video!

And some party photos:

Leaves are already starting to fall in my parent's yard...what's happening?! We do only have 6 days until Autumn, but this look was from 12 days before. Come on, Mother Nature! Although I do love Autumn (my favorite season) and leaves and the smells...I just know that once Autumn starts Winter is on the horizon.

Tory Burch is killing me again with her Fall lookbook! She always chooses my favorite colors so I end up wanting EVERYTHING! Sadly I will probably end up with none, but who knows, maybe this year I will splurge! I particularly love the Wool Asymmetrical Peplum Sweater, Embellished Long-Sleeve Crewneck Sweater, Crochet Suede Coat, Printed Pleated Silk Dress, Bonded-Suede Mid-Sleeve Dress, Kingsbridge Sandal and Embellished Small Shoulder Bag.

Sometimes I feel like matching colors in my outfits. I wore this hoodie to pull out the orange in my dress, the same with the shoes. Some people don't like matching too well, but I think it's fun! These two pieces have been in my closet of quite a long time, the dress for 5 years and the hoodie a few more than that. 5 years in the fashion world is quite a bit, but I'm sure they will stay around much longer. Also, my hair looks a bit split end-y in these photos...guess it's time for a haircut!

Here's the last of my Pennsylvania outfits! I wore this to go to the Peddlers Village shopping center and Crystal Cave.  I tried some more Summer layering for this look, a sweater tank over a dress. Worked pretty well! Except I was a little self conscious about the straps of the dress peeking out on my shoulders, looks like another type of strap that I usually like to conceal ;)

Another outfit from my visit to Pennsylvania! I was stupid and wore this to go to Chilis for dinner. I ate basically two rounds of their chips and salsa (my sister had 1/4 of the amount I had if I had to take a guess) followed by my cripsy chicken crispers. Bad day for high waisted jeans!  Before we went to eat we visited this little arboretum and made friends with some ducks.
