Staring At Stars Embroidered Bell-Sleeve Tunic
Just yesterday, I went shopping and I was on a mission.  Christmas is quickly approaching and I came to the realization that I still had so many presents to get!  So I grabbed my big fur coat, a very comfy sweater from my dads closet, and some old boots and made my way out.  Never have I ever accomplished so much shopping in so little time! Everything was bought in about an hour and a half... but who can go shopping without getting something for themselves??  Urban Outfitters, my second home, my love, you have saved me once again.  There, in the midst of half off sweaters and jeans piled onto the rack, I found this beauty.. a Staring at Stars Embroidered Bell Sleeve Tunic, otherwise known as perfection.  When I tried it on, it felt like magic.  Inspiration practically burst inside of me, and now I can't get over this look.  Its simple, but eye-catching, and oh so magical.  Take a look at some other looks that are equally as powerful... 


 
















Hope this inspires some alluring ensembles today!

Mystery Girl

VOGUE gone ROGUE
Today is another gorgeous fall day.  It has a bit of a gloomy edge too, leftover rain dripping from the roofs and branches, and clouds coating the sky, setting the perfect background for the vibrant hues of the season.  This sets the stage for a look at some fashion inspiration, the look of the mystery girl.  Nothing is more enigmatic and feminine than the simplicity of a black and white ensemble.  It can add a touch of confidence to any girl, especially when paired with a dash of colour, like green shoes, or a bright lip.  So get your mystery on today, go for minimal fuss, and maximum elegance.

Sunday Escapade

Fall is here.  Quite certainly the loveliest time of year, with earthy warm colors draping the land like confetti, cozy vibes soaking in every ounce of daylight, and that seasonal zest that literally lifts spirits.  It’s officially the time for hot coffee or tea or whatever sort of thing you like, for snug sweaters and endless layers, and of course, outings to fill in the last few weeks of ideal weather.  This is what Sundays are all about.  Uncovering those one-of-a-kind places that feel so special that you don’t want to tell anyone about them, as if to keep them for yourself.  
    
So this Sunday, I embarked on a little adventure.  Just fifteen minutes away from my town of Webster Groves, I found Cherokee Street, a historical street that is up-and-coming with many coffee shops and vintage stores popping up everywhere.  There, in the middle of it all, we found our treasure, a jewel of a store, The Heirloom Room.

This resale and consignment store, holds some of the most beautiful antiques home-wares, furniture, and knick-knacks ever.  Seriously.  With an ever growing inventory, and an eclectic mix of old and new, I can’t imagine a more perfect place to lose myself in.  I managed to snap a few shots of the exquisite place, so take a look, and find some time to check it out at 2118 Cherokee Street, Saint Louis, MO.  You will be blown away.   








This chair is actually a kneeling chair.  You would kneel on the bottom cushion and rest your arms on the top cushion.  How cool!





This mustard colour is gorgeous and so vibrant... it's definitely the colour of the season.  


They also sell lots of plants her from their own garden.  So lovely.  






Beautiful right? Check it out asap!!
