my everyday style: everything plaid!

My plaid obsession has reached a new height this fall… everything plaid is basically my new mantra.  I just can't get enough!  Plus we've been having great weather where you can go with a coat or without and just throw on a scarf… it's the perfect fall set up in my opinion!

dress your home/dress yourself with #targetstyle!

This blog has been a discovery of my personal style over the past 6 years… and as I've slowly honed my personal style as it relates to my clothing choices, I have also found that my personal style for my home has fallen into place as well.  

It actually came as a surprise at first that how I dress my body is also very similar to how I dress my home.  Now I am comfy cozy with the idea and wish I would have realized it sooner.  When getting dressed in the morning I go for classic pieces with great texture that mix and match easily and add in a few stripes or plaids (especially this time of year).  The same goes for my home… I like classic pieces with great texture that mix and match easily - and even at home I throw in a few stripes here and there!

Isn't that just one of the reason we all love Target so much? We can dress our homes and our selves all with one simple stop (and stock our pantry/fridge, grab a few things for the kids and a couple of cleaning supplies and call it good!).

Here I pulled together a few of my Target favorites for home and closet… and these you don't even have to leave home to shop for!

dress your home:

throw pillow, throw blanket, desk, graphic rug, striped jug, fabric storage bins

dress yourself:

plaid scarf, earrings, ankle boots, pleather skirt - love!, miracle gel set (have you tried these yet? I'm dying to!), faux fur vest, flannel top

my everyday style: shopping my closet and a red blazer!

Shopping my closet when the season changes is one of my favorite activities.   I love to see what  basics I've left behind from seasons before and re-invent them into new looks.  The only "new" pieces in this look are the earrings and the handbag and even those have been hanging around for a bit. 

I have found that the more I take time to thoughtfully add to my closet each season that it pays off in future seasons as well.  Then I have a few things on hand already and don't need to do a complete closet overhaul each season.  I'm slowly building it up instead.

my everyday style: a pale pink coat!

I am equal parts totally in denial that cold weather is on it's way and also a little excited for wearing cozy layers and gorgeous winter coats (and the holidays are coming… but I'm getting ahead of myself!).  The change of seasons is always a little tricky like that.  Plus, we are having an awesome fall - the colors are so pretty! - that I am trying to enjoy the moment.

Like I said, awesome winter coats make the cool mornings and cool forecasts much more bearable.  H&M recently asked me to check out their new outerwear line for fall and winter.  I got inspired for winter by shopping their budget friendly outerwear options - most of them under $100 and right on trend for winter.  It seems like I've seen pale pink coats on Pinterest quite a bit lately… so when I saw this ultra feminine pale pink double breasted coat at H&M I snagged it right away!

Isn't it fun? And a steal at $80!

currently obsessed: burgundy!

I'm obsessed with burgundy these days… I've purchased a few new burgundy pieces for myself, which you will see later this month (stay tuned!).  In the meantime, here are a few other pieces that have been catching my eye.

(sweater, scarf, vest, plaid jacket - less than $50!, boots, bag, vans sneakers)

Are you loving this color lately too?

on my radar: october!

Cozy sweats, socks and scarves, my new ALL time favorite beauty product that is rocking my world, sleek shoes and fuzzy purses.  Just a few things that are on my radar this month.

I'm a sucker for a pointy shoe… how gorgeous are these flats?

Sock season is here. Are you ready? I love these black and white socks.  

Time to wrap up in a warm and beautiful scarf. I think this one is a definite winner.

My new ALL time favorite skin care product.  The Lustro Face Oil from Beautycounter has seriously transformed my skin in the last month I have been using it. Plus, it is actually safe for your skin and your body.  I can't recommend this stuff enough. (because I am so passionate about this brand - join me on FB if you have more questions or want to know more about safe beauty!)

Awesome sweatpants and a jeweled sweatshirt for fall? You got it!

How cute is this sherpa bag? With a plaid top, some ankle booties and fall, this would make for a super cute look!
