Cape-Poncho: The Perfect Fall Accessory

Thursday, October 22, 2015









Aztec Cape: American Eagle | White Tunic: Lush (my absolute favorite tunic) 
Jeans: similar | Booties: Splendid (almost sold out - similar here) | Watch: similar    Bracelet: J Crew Factory | Ring: BaubleBar | Sunglasses: Ray Ban

Believe it or not, capes are in. And no, I'm not talking about costume capes for halloween. I'm talking about oversized, poncho-style, basically wrap yourself in a blanket capes. And I couldn't be happier about it. I'm one of those people that hates being cold and I love wrapping up at the house with my big comfy blankets. Now I pretty much have an excuse to be wrapped up in a comfy cape all fall and winter long! I saw this cape pinned on Pinterest and couldn't believe it was from American Eagle. On my next trip to the mall, I walked right into American Eagle (a place I haven't shopped since high school) and fell in love with this cape in person. It came right home with me. The best part about it is the price. It's currently on sale for $30! Can't beat that. Below, I've listed some other cape-style ponchos that I'm loving for this fall. 

PS I wanted to point out that yet again I'm wearing my favorite tunic. I still don't know why I don't own it in every color. It's seriously the best and also comes in black, olive, and cranberry... talk about perfect fall colors!

Thank you for reading!

3 Ways to Wear a Fur Vest This Fall

Monday, October 19, 2015


Ok guys, I think I've found my go-to item this fall... this fur vest (insert all the heart eyes). I've seriously been drooling over it since I got in the mail. You might be thinking, how in the world is a fur vest going to be your staple item? There's no way you can pair a fur vest with that many outfits. Well ladies, think again. In this blog post, I'm going to share with you 3 easy ways I'm styling my fur vest this fall. A lot of these looks can be recreated with items you already have in your fall wardrobe! 

First things first though, I wanted to share with you my exact fur vest. I love this one because it's two tone and the length is perfect for layering (especially over leggings). You can grab this vest at The Pink Nickel for 30% off with the code ABBY30, making it less than $50. It's considerably more affordable than other faux fur vests I've seen, some of which retail for over $100 at larger department stores. The coupon ends Sunday, Oct 25!



Denim Shirt: old (similar here, here, and here) | Jeans: Hudson | Boots: Tory Burch 
Tote: Nordstrom | Watch: similar here | Bracelet: J Crew Factory

The first way I styled this vest is more casual. I did a little denim on denim combo with my new fall riding boots. I love how this look turned out. You could also recreate this with leggings instead of jeans, which is what I wanted to do until I realized I left my black leggings in GA. I should probably go grab some new ones considering I wear leggings 90% of the time when the weather cools off.



Cowl Neck Dress: Old Navy | Booties: Target | Tote: Nordstrom | Watch: similar 

The next way I styled this fur vest is over a gorgeous sweater dress. First of all, this dress is the bomb dot comb and under $40. I kinda want it in every color (of which it comes in 4). You could actually recreate this outfit with any solid color dress you already have in your closet. That's what I love about this vest-the fact that it can be worn with any color and it's super transitional. 




Plaid Blouse: Topshop | Flare Jeans: similar | Tote: Nordstrom | Watch: similar  
Bracelet: J Crew Factory

The last way I styled this faux fur vest is over a plaid blouse. This is probably my favorite look so far and is definitely easy to recreate because I'm sure everyone has a plaid shirt (or 10) hanging in their closet. I paired my plaid blouse and fur vest with wide leg jeans to give off a little bit of 70s style (which is so in right now). You could have just as easily worn this with denim skinnies and riding boots! 

I hope you enjoyed reading this post as much as I loved putting it together! I'm already imagining other ways I can style this vest this fall. I'm thinking over an all black outfit... maybe a black turtleneck and black jeans. I know I'll definitely pair it with my favorite white tunic and jeans. The options are endless! Don't forget you can get this exact vest for 30% off with the code ABBY30. The coupon ends Sunday, October 25!


Red Blazer

Tuesday, October 13, 2015







Red Blazer: old (similar here & here) | White Tunic: Lush (my favorite tunic ever!) 
Jeans: Hudson | Boots: Frye (the color is cognac!) | Bag: Nordstrom (only $54 & its reversible) | Necklace: similar here (on sale for $18) | Watch: similar  
Bracelet: tortoise, gold cuff, gold link | Rings: here & here

 I LOVE wearing red. I always feel powerful and a tad more confident when I wear red. It may have something to do with the fact that red compliments my dark complexion, but I feel that blondes look amazing in red too! Another thing I have been buying more of lately is blazers. Being a professional student, you never know when you might have to look nice for an event or for clinic. What I love about blazers though, is how nice they look with jeans as well as with dress pants or a skirt. Here, I paired my red blazer with my favorite white tunic and jeans. I topped off the outfit with riding boots and my reversible leopard bag... because who doesn't love red and leopard together? The last thing I added were touches of gold. I have been loving my gold link bracelet and necklace. They pair well with so many outfits and are both at a great price point. 

We just had fall break at school. We got to take off Monday and Tuesday so I decided to come back home to South Ga for the 4-day weekend. I'm headed back to school tomorrow but secretly wishing we still had one more day. These breaks seem to go by faster and faster the older I get.

Fall Colors: Burgundy + Mustard

Wednesday, October 7, 2015
















Tunic: Free People | Jeans: Hudson | Booties: Splendid (similar here)| Hat: Leith | Watch: similar | Bracelet: J. Crew Factory

One of my favorite things about fall (& trust me, I have a lot) are fall colors. Yes, I know that PSL and cooler weather have most people excited about fall, and don't get me wrong, I love the cooler weather... but there's just something about the deeper, richer colors of fall. There's nothing like the way leaves change colors to those deep orange hues for a few short weeks before they fall to the ground. If I had to pick a favorite time of the year, that would be it. 

What I love about this tunic is the dark mustard color - a perfect color for fall. What won me over is the flowy style of this top and how comfortable it is! This top comes in two other colors, a burgundy and an ivory, which are also gorgeous. What's even better is that there's little hints of burgundy in the pattern so of course I paired my favorite booties and favorite hat to finish off the look. What are your favorite colors to wear in the fall? 

Thanks for reading.

Blush Cowl Neck Sweater

Monday, October 5, 2015














Blush Sweater: Bobeau | Jeans: Hudson | Booties: Target | Earrings: Rocksbox (similar here, here, & here) 

I can't wait for the days where all I will be wearing are comfy sweaters and boots. We are almost there! This weekend the temps in Bham got down to the 50s. It felt so nice outside, I literally just wanted to lay on a blanket outside my apartment... but ain't nobody got time for that (not in optometry school at least). This sweater is one of the comfiest I've ever put on my body... not.even.kidding. I want to go back and get it in the charcoal color as well! 

Also this sweater went perfectly with a pair of earrings I received in my Rocksbox this month. For those of you that don't know, Rocksbox is a monthly subscription service where you get to 'try out' 3 different pieces of designer jewelry for $29 a month. If you decide you want to purchase a piece of your jewelry, you get it at a discounted price (20%), plus the first month they automatically put $10 in your account. Also, if you refer friends, they give you a $25 referral credit! You could basically be getting designer jewelry for free or for a greatly discounted price. They have Kendra Scott, Loren Hope, and Wanderlust + Co but check out their website to get a list of all the designers they carry. If you want to get your first month of Rocksbox for FREE just use the code abigailee6xoxo when you sign up.

Thanks for reading!

PS Don't forget today is the last day for the Tory Burch sale. If you spend $300 you get 20% off, $500 you get 25% off, and $750 you get %30 off. I snagged these boots while they were on sale, and trust me I saved up for these puppies. Even though they are on sale, they are definitely still pricey, but I know how much I wear boots in the fall/winter and I know I will get my money out of them. I'm also loving this handbag for an everyday tote and I love this cross-body for fall.

xoxo, Abby
