Travel Attire

I'd like to think by now I have mastered traveling... but like all of us I'm really hit or miss. Sometimes I'll look decently put together while other times I look like I just walked in off the streets after a long night/early morning of partying. Either way, I know I'm always comfortable! I usually like to go with shorts (for warmer weather) or leggings (for colder weather). That way I know my legs will be free to move around the cabin. 

This look was one I wore when I came home from Napa last week. Although it wasn't exactly fur jacket weather, it was pretty chilly on the flight and yours truly was riding middle on the way back. So the coat was for when I was sleeping to either act as a pillow or a blanket. See how I made that versatile? (Jacket from ASOS)

I paired it with a Free People top and my favorite leggings. I actually bought these last year around Thanksgiving and was glad I did! I get compliments all the time when I wear them AND they are now in style. Go figure... Who knew that leather leggings would be all the rage this fall? I'd like to take some credit for being ahead of the curve...

I finished the look with my favorite new loafers! These bad boys are legit! Plus I thought ahead to security lines and the taking off of the shoes involved. Just popped these on and off. It doesn't hurt that they're super comfortable and BLUE. My very favorite :) But enough with all the talking.. here's my outfit:

New York Sunset

I was lucky enough the other day to catch the sunset on my rooftop in Chelsea. Just some really cool shots I wanted to share! This city amazes me everyday. All photos are untouched:

Prep

For the days it's actually cold out, I like to layer up! Part of my fall go-to outfit is always my Ralph Lauren oxford. This time, to change it up, I thought I'd throw a peplum shirt over it and actually fell in love with how it looked. I also added my groopdealz lookalike J. Crew necklace and it went perfectly. And of course for colder weather, you gotta break out the booties! I have a feeling this whole outfit will be similarly repeated all fall/winter long.

BlueTique Blue

Although I have moved to New York, I still love to shop at BlueTique in Lexington. I will of course always have a place in my heart for those lovely ladies! I miss working there so much. Thankfully they have an online store now so I can shop from afar. I recently got this dress and I'm obsessed with it! I want to wear it all the time really... but that would be weird. I love the material and how this can be dressed up or down depending on accessories. That and it's BLUE. I love blue. Call me a Kentucky girl, but I will never stop buying blue dresses. I wore this little number wine tasting in Napa last weekend. Check it out and let me know what you think:

Napa

I'm in Napa with my family for my sisters birthday! Happy 30th (day late) to my best friend who I'm lucky enough to call my sister. I love you more than anything in this world Dittie!
