Can we collectively agree that the name 'balloon sleeve' sounds a bit unattractive? Like its cousin the pussy bow, it presents itself in such a way that leaves you wondering 'why would I want to wear that?'

MY FAVORITE FALL STYLING HACK

LET’S TALK SWEATERS. 

More specifically, the sweater over a summer dress trick that I’m obsessed with. I love the look of sweaters draped over anything- leggings, skirts, & obviously dresses. 

FOREVER 21 (UNDER) $100 HAUL

A budget of $100, a promo code and a mission: see what kind of haul would happen. 

F21 is a go-to for staple items, which is what ended up happening here. Did I ~need~ two more sweaters in my wardrobe? Maybe not, but THEY ARE COZY AND THAT’S ALL THAT MATTERS. 

THE REVIVAL OF THE ROM COM

It seems that good old romantic comedies have become few & far between nowadays, a fact lost on me until it was pointed out by the internet, and then I realized OMG IT’S TRUE WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE ROM COM. 

WHAT TO WEAR ON THANKSGIVING

The Thanksgiving outfit always feels like a conundrum. Do you wear a dress? Leggings-- or to quote joey tribbiani-- 'thanksgiving pants,' A scarf?? OMG I DON'T KNOW.

BUT, I do think there's something to be said about a simple sweater + skirt look that's perfectly autumnal, and gives a little eating room. The key to thanksgiving looks is comfort, and I think this gives off that vibe well.

Some booties are my favorite way to top off this look, and BAM. Time to eat.

THE ART OF THE TURTLENECK (+ THREE HOPES FOR THE GILMORE GIRLS REVIVAL)

I love a good turtleneck. Something about it makes things sleek & chic, especially a sleek black t'neck. (yes, I just made that up. no, I won't ever use it again) 
To me, it's the perfect way to dress up your favorite pair of jeans a bit, tucked in on one side for some silhouette. 

Okay. I'm drinking from my Luke's mug so CAN WE TALK ABOUT GILMORE GIRLS FOR A SEC? EW came out with their review & now I'm currently obsessed with hunting down every new article I can find. I've tried to not get my hopes up for this & just let it happen, but who I would be then? Some of my biggest hopes so far:
1// Rory, Lane & Paris are a badass lady trio. I have a feeling I won't even have to get my hopes up too high for this.
2// Dean gets Regina George'd by a bus A good storyline with all of Rory's exes. I'm extremely biased to Jess but if they don't end up together again I'll be okay. I think. BUT I do genuinely want to see how Rory gets on with each of them now. 
3// It has the magic that makes Stars Hollow, Stars Hollow. I feel it y'all. This could be the saving the saving grace of 2016. Don't let me down.

LEOPARD ACCENTS

I must confess, this is a variation of a look I saw Khloe where on KUWTK. (there was nothing else on, ok) Still, it's a wearable look that when paired with knee highs or tights can still be worn on colder days. 
Also, what is it about the simple marriage (did I just say that in a sentence? I've been watching too much Chopped) of a leopard accent & black choker? OBSESSED.
