Retro Flare

5:52 PM



Hey everyone! This week has been one of those where I feel like I’m running from place to place, and not really stopping. It was the best treat for my birthday to be yesterday, because it was such a relaxing and fun way to end the week with with my friends and family- which helped me to just take a day and have a great time. Even though fall lands on the end of the year, I feel like it always brings new beginnings. It is infused with a great spirit, and it makes me so excited for things to come; I am, after all, one of those die hard Christmas lovers. Plus fall fashion is a total bonus.

When holidays are around the corner, everyone is in more of a cheerful mood, and cozying up for winter hibernation. And as far as fall excitement goes, Halloween does not disappoint. Even though I scare really easily, I love scary movies and the element of Halloween where it is filled with so much mystery and suspense whilst still being fun and light-hearted.

The look I went for is not fall exclusive, but where I live the weather is kind of a rollercoaster, so it fits those warmer fall days perfectly. In this transitional time of year the weather can change in a second, so I like to be prepared for any and all scenarios. So, I chose this gorgeous beaded peasant top and light bell bottoms- I guess you could say I was channeling the 70s a little. They both have a retro vibe while still maintaining a modern flair. Following the trend I had laid out for myself, we took these at a beautiful street in a historical part of the city. These houses have so much character and life behind them, and so they really add dimension towards representing the beauty held in the past.

Have fun with pieces that have a different aesthetic because you never know what you’re going to fall in love with until you try! This look definitely suited me, and trying different things always pays off when it comes to style. Also, remember that even when life gets busy to press the pause button, and treat yourself with something you love to indulge in, there doesn’t need to be a special occasion to have a great time and show yourself some appreciation (my personal favorites would have to include a lush bath or a piece of ice cream cake... or both)

Let me know what your favorite fall treats have been so far :)
