Fall Fashion Formula

With the temperatures dropping, the amount of layers and length I add to my outfits increase as rapidly as the leaves are falling! I wanted to share my most used, and very simple to understand (and implement!) formula for fall:
             Booties + Skinny jeans + Sweater/top +Jacket  + Scarf = My Fall Uniform
I am super behind on outfit posts (but have almost every day's outfit pictures stored on my tablet) but I wanted to share 2 "applications" of my Fall Formula from just a couple of days ago. Also, if you check around my blog, I have added a couple outfit posts from back in August! Another post I am working on at the moment is a post sharing all the clutches my Grandma gave me (she was cleaning up her room). The two in this post are from her. I love the velvet burgundy one with the gold and tortoise shell accents (it also has a gold chain to use as a shoulder strap). The black envelope style clutch is great to add with any outfit.
Another post I am working on is on the watches my Grandma gave me that belonged to my Grandpa. Pictured (this is one of my favorite shots I took with my tripod, most of the other ones are taken by my Dad) is one of the gold watches.
For both looks I wore my new booties from H&M (Divided) and the same Vigoss Studio skinny jeans from Nordstrom (in one I rolled the bottoms, the other I tucked them into my jeans).

New York Trip Diary

I wanted to share each day about my experiences and outfits (I will put links to the store's website if I have time) on my first trip to New York. This is an ongoing  post so I’ll post when I have time as I go. I had wanted to blog every day, but as I am used to California time, am trying to fit as many things into one day as possible, AND want to get at least a couple hours of sleep, I do not believe it is possible. The pictures I am sharing are mostly all taken by me, the ones with me in them are of course taken by other people (mostly my sister Steph).
Update: I decided to just write it all at once as a recap and post it after I was done (and yes, that means almost 3 months after my actual trip!).
View from first flight- bad quality iPhone pic, but GORGEOUS sunset.
I absolutely love plane pictures, seeing everything from above is so breathtaking, especially at night! All the lights look like glittering diamonds!
