On Monday I had to run to the grocery store because I had no food, story of my life.  It was rainy and a bit cold so I threw on my thin Madewell sweater.  Unfortunately it doesn't like being photographed so the colors in the photos are a bit coocoo (the sweater is bright red like the one below the outfit images). I also tried something new with my hair, normally I do a messy bun, but I decided to try a cleaner version.

Song of the Day: Blossoms from Mulan

Dress: ELLE for Kohl's old, Sweater: Madewell (Shopbop) gift card, Sunglasses: Michael Kors (Marshalls) $20, Sandals: Kohl's old, Necklace: etsy, Bracelets c/o 31 Bits, Watch: Michael Kors, Bag: Fossil from college roommate

Here's a video with some footage from my trip. Most of the footage is of our friend, George the Chipmunk, he was so cute. I doubt any of you (except Amber) will recognize the songs in the video, but they're from The Last Unicorn! One of the best movies ever!! If you haven't seen it, do it!

And here are some more photos from my iPhone, some were instagramed, some not. Tomorrow we're back to normal! Most are from Kringle Candle, in Massachusetts. :)

Well that was one crazy long weekend! Forgive me for being very short today (aka last night when I was writing this) but I am so tired from my trip. Here's a photo diary of my camping trip in Vermont with my best friends!!  I was also planning on making a video but didn't have time yet, check back later today to see if I add one!

The weekend was perfect: smores, grilling, campfires, tents, christimas shops, swimming and hiking! I love when I can just be outside all the time, it's a nice break from being attached to my computer.

"Cheap" gas! (30 cents cheaper than at home)

In case you were wondering, my shirt says "Real bear hugs are often fatal"

S'more!

Fire!

Today I am off to Jamaica, Vermont to go camping with my two best friends!  I used to go every year with my extended family starting when I was 7 or so and all the way until my teens, but then we stopped going for a while and I went one more time with my aunt. Last year I decided to go by myself with my friends thinking it would be a one time thing. Turns out they enjoyed it too so we might make it an annual thing!

I obviously won't be as fashionable as Keira in this shoot, but I'll try to take some photos for you. I have always been a fan of this shoot because 1. I love Keira and 2. The elephant is adorable!

Yesterday I got my daily email from J.Crew and it had a feature on the looks they love. They are their "latest must-copy outfits for fall, courtesy of superstylist, Gayle."  The feature contains menswear inspired looks, textures and one of my favorite colors: maroon!  See and shop them at J.Crew!  My favorites are below.

I would happily wear any of these, especially the two on the far left!

One of the upcoming Fall trends that I've been excited about is geek glasses! I have a slight obsession with them, perhaps because I've been a Harry Potter fan for half my life.  The runways were filled with big, adorable spectacles from Marc by Marc Jacobs to Anna Sui.  A few months ago I won a gift card to Sunglasses Hut and picked up these in anticipation of the trend!  I wore them once before and decided to wear them again with a more form fitting look to offset the geeky-ness. I also pulled my T by Alexander Wang skirt a little lower than I've worn it in the past to make it more modest.

Skirt: T by Alexander Wang, Top: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Marshalls) $25, Heels: Simply Vera Wang (Kohl's) $20, Clutch made by Christine, Watch: Michael Kors, Necklace: Vanessa Mooney giveaway, Bracelet: Diamer Jewelry c/o The Missing Piece, Glasses: Sunglass Warehouse giveaway


Here are some glasses on the runway. Don't forget that Marilyn Monroe was also famous for wearing cute glasses, mostly cat eyes. Will you be rocking this trend in the next few months, or is it too weird for you?
