My Autumn Bucket List

I'm exhausted.

As you may have gathered from my pervious posts Contemporary Photography had a very very busy, hectic, summer.  With shoots and meeting basically every day our life has been very much all work and little play. Also this is the first Fall/Winter season I'll be able to enjoy in years since I only have one job and no longer work in retail. So we have decided to make the very most of this Fall season and stop and smell the pumpkin spice. What better way to do this than make a fall bucket list?!

I hope this September brings you so much fabulous.

Now who is ready for a PSL light right now?

A Good Palette

Hello Monday, we meet again.

I hope that all of you had a great weekend! Mine was, as to be expected, fast. This time of year certainly does that for us as we are in wedding season full swing. Often times Sunday is our day to play catch up with meetings and errands. Saturday was a late night to say the least so we really like to get as much sleep as possible come Sunday morning. As much as I love fashion, I don't wan to spend a lot of time on an outfit especially for just a Sunday spent running around.

Even if you have no clue what you are wearing it's good to have a few color palettes in the back of your mind to pull out. Or pull inspiration from a piece. You might recognize this clutch from my Fall Fashion post. While I had maybe 20 minutes to get ready I looked at my favorite clutch and made my outfit around it. This is a no fail color arrangement that I'm completely obsessed with. Along with my blue shoes that I can't seem to get enough of lately. Another bonus is that these emerald green pants will translate perfectly into fall.

Also I've really been diggin' Navy for a fall nail color. It's pretty much universal.

September is this week!! It's almost time for that PLS! Swoon!

Here's to kicking Monday (and the rest of August) in the behind!

Fall Fashion 2016

Fall Fashion!!

It's the absolute best time of the year! I can hardly contain myself!! I've been shopping since July!! Every Fall since I've started blogging I do a Fall Fashion Shopping List with all of the must have pieces that I love. Last year when I posted my list a had a few requests to make the post sooner. So here we go! It's earlier and anything but fast! Because we're talking Fall Fashion and I'll happily take my time.

Shades Of Tan

From pants, skirts, shirts, and vests this popular fall/winter color is back and chicer than ever! The best part is you can't mess it up! It matches anything!

Chunky Heels

At first I was a smidge skeptical because this is a little 90's for me but after I found these beauties I was completely in love. Plus, they are a more comfortable heel.

Shimmery Metallic

Especially Gold! This is another great trend because the gold is so neutral you really can pair it with anything. Also embellished clutches have been all over the runways!

Mini Fall Florals

It isn't every fall that you see designers playing with florals but this season we sure did! It has a 70's cool girl vibe and I love it! The prints are small which is also a unique take on it.  Another trend that is here to stay is a vest. Adding a vest really takes an outfit to the next level.

All Over Print's

Print's print's and more print's!! Don't be afraid to get loud this season! Prints from head to toe are the way to go. Try experimenting with different types of prints. You'll know what you love and what you hate. Throwing in another trend here, wide legged cropped pants.

Cross Body Fur Stoles

This is funny because it was on my list last year! Apparently designers have hung on to this and I am ALL for it! I'm combining two trends here. Statement Color Furs are also huge right now. I'm loving the blue!  Another trend worthy topic is leopard. I'll tell you right now, in or not, I'll always adore leopard!

View fullsize

Neckerchiefs

I for one am SO glad this has returned! I think it is such a beautiful and elegant look!

A Longer Line

When I was in middle school, long "dusters" were in and I looooved them. I vividly remember when they weren't "in" any longer and I kept thinking to myself that I couldn't wait when they came back around. Well here we are 15+ years later and a version is back! Also Emerald Green is returning from last year and I'm ok with that because, duh, favorite color!

Balloon Sleeves

These are adding an element of intrigue to the runways this fall. They puff out at the biceps. Its a fun and different look!

And as always get yourself a fabulous fall hat!

Keep in mind that these are just my fall favorites. There are many more styles out there this season.

I'm so looking forward to this upcoming season! But don't get me wrong I'll be enjoying the rest of this glorious summer.

Enjoy your Sunday! I hope it starts with a cup of hot coffee and ends with a glass of vino.
