*I was gifted all the pieces featured in this post as well as a trip to NYC for the photoshoot. Thank you to Kohl's for this experience!*

By now all my regular readers know that I LOVE Harry Potter. What many of you may not know is that one of my first fandoms was Star Wars, back when I didn't even know what a fandom was.  When I was younger my brother, sister and I would watch the original trilogy on VHS all the time.  Then when my youngest brother started watching tv/movies he would watch one pretty much every day. Needless to say I can quote the movies with dialogue, music and sound effects without missing a beat.

When Kohl's asked me to be part of their Force of Fashion YES Moment, I had to accept! A day with fellow Star Wars fans styling outfits: what could be better than that?! The day was so much fun, especially when spent with girls who loved Star Wars as much as I did. The Kohl's team was amazing and so fun to work with. We had a long day of shooting and a video interview session talking about our love of the series.  Below are some of the official photos and the video, I'll share behind the scenes stuff separately since there are so many photos!

For my first outfit I dressed up an adorable R2D2 sweatshirt! R2 is one of my favorite characters (along with C3P0) so I HAD to pick this piece. With my second look I went a bit edgier with the leggings and vest. Normally I don't wear leggings as pants, but with the vest it covers up everything I want to hide.  The other girls also did an amazing job styling up the Star Wars collection. I think we've proved that you can be a fashionable geek, yes?! Kohl's was nice enough to let us take home the clothes we modeled, so I can't wait to wear all these pieces in the coming months.

P.S. Who else is SUPER excited for The Force Awakens (plus the new theme park at Disney!)

I wanted to get at least one more wear out of this Summer dress before it goes away for months, so I decided to wear it as a shirt and inject Autumn in with some leather! You can also see another attempt at curling my hair without a curling wand. I put my hair into 4 little buns after my shower and slept in them overnight. They're okay, but not perfect yet!

Dress (as shirt): Splendid (Net-a-Porter Sale), Leather Skirt: Siena Style (Coco's $10 sale), Jacket: Elie Tahari x Design Nation (Kohl's), Boots: 3.1 Phillip Lim 'Peggy' (Barney's Warehouse)


Sometimes you just HAVE to wear heels even if the occasion doesn't call for it. I've been dying to wear these new Prada heels since I got them a couple weeks ago so I styled this outfit around them to go to dinner.  I had been hunting for brown heels for almost a year and finally decided to check The RealReal and found these beautiful, brand new, shoes for $135 thanks to an additional 30% off sale!

As of tomorrow it will officially be Autumn. Let's hope it lasts a long time and we don't skip straight to Winter. I love the days of perfect temperatures, pretty colored leaves and the crisp smell in the air.  It's also almost time to start watching Halloween movies every day! See my list of must-watch movies from a couple years ago!

I always feel like I can only wear these pants in the cooler weather even though the fabric is thin. The colors are just too dark for the middle of Summer. But the end of Summer - Fall is the perfect time for them!

Tee: Everlane, Pants: Maison Scotch c/o Aritzia, Heels: Simply Vera Wang c/o Kohl's, Necklace: SPARKLEFARM (etsy)


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.

Top: Old Navy, Jeans: Free People, Sandals: Sam Edelman c/o ThredUp, Necklace: SPARKLEFARM (etsy)
