NOT SO MELLOW
Coat: Zara (love this one) | Top: Express (seen here) | Jeans: American Eagle | Sneakers: Sam Edelman | Sunglasses: Ray Ban
I love the burst of color that this bright, structured coat adds to an otherwise basic outfit. My favorite outerwear is not only is warm, but makes a statement; especially, since it's the first thing people see come fall & winter time. The yellow color of this coat is an instant pick me up on the gray streets of New York City.

Have a happy Tuesday!
BERRY COZY
This is by far my favorite fall outfits that I've worn thus far this season. I know it is super matchy-matchy - right up to my berry colored lip - but I think that's my favorite part about it!
Back in late August/early September I tried on this cape in stores, but it was way too early (& warm) to actually make a purchase. Fast forward about a month & I was still thinking about this cape, which was now sold out. It took me weeks of stalking Zara's website to finally make it mine!
I am obsessed with this over sized knit & toss it on all the time. I usually reserve it for weekend/nighttime wears since it is so cozy, but this time I dressed it up for a work day.
I based the entire outfit on the colors in this bag. All three scream fall & I love how they look paired together.
I ordered this tri-color bag from Amuze on super sale, (seriously, if I told you what I paid compared to the original price, you wouldn't believe me!) If you haven't checked out their site, be sure to do so immediately! They have lots of designers at some of the most discounted prices that I've ever seen!

READY FOR COMBAT... BOOTS
I love, love this shade of red. It is such a power color & instantly makes me feel ready to take on the world. I kept the rest of this outfit pretty basic, with minimal accessories, to really allow the firetruck color to take center stage.

On September 26, Elie Tahari teamed up with Kohl's to launch the cutest collection inspired by my favorite city in the world, New York City.

COLLEGE FASHION
A brief recap of my night taking part in NY's College Fashion Week...
all photos c/o Jody DeRoy & College Fashion Week
Can you believe over 500 people attended?!
VIP treatment from Tresemme's top stylist
runway ready thanks to Tresemme & Bare Minerals
first outfit & my favorite photo!
I recently took part in NY College Fashion Week hosted by Her Campus, Tresemme, Bare Minerals, boohoo.com & more, and boy, was it a whirlwind! From runway practice, hair styling, make up application & outfit fittings, the time flew, & suddenly, it was time to walk. The whole minute or so that I was out there was a total blur.
"Don't fall, don't fall, don't fall, smile!"
I had the opportunity to take part in 2 of the 3 scenes for the night & I loved both outfits. The first was my absolute favorite & something I would totally wear in real life.

I'm so excited that I was able to take part - definitely a bucket list moment, & phew, proud of myself for not falling!
