As some of you might know (or not) I had my Johnson and Wales University orientation these past two days. Because I'm a commuter and a transfer student (and a little bit older than most incoming "freshman" or new students) I was kind of worried about meeting people but I ended up having a pretty good time and meeting some cool people. The campus is really pretty and in the most perfect area of Providence. I can't wait to start classes next week. I kept my looks really casual (we were inside, outside and walking all day) but I still think they represented my personal style well. I'm obsessed with these embroidered BDG jeans from Urban Outfitters. I know I am going to have to force myself NOT to wear them everyday, they rule. By the way, is it fall yet?!
Outfit 1: Grey boyfriend tee from Victoria's secret PINK, Nine West suede booties, XL lennon sunnies from Shade's Plus (Providence, RI), MAC Pink Plaid lipstick, Marc by Marc Jacobs watch, Alex & Ani bangles, and BDG jeans from Urban Outfitters.
Outfit 2: Deena and Ozzy sneaker wedges from Urban Outfitters, Ray Ban wayfarers, Marc by Marc Jacobs watch, Rabito iphone case, Cheap Monday t-shirt, and Joe's Jeans leather skinnies.

I thought, what would be more appropriate to post after a Fall's Essentials List than a fall haul? So I filmed a haul of all the things I've picked up within the last month or so for this fall. Again, I apologize for the shitty camera quality but I took pictures of everything to make up for it. Hope you guys like what I got! Hopefully I'll get some outfit posts up this week with some of the new stuff!
Boots and hats from Aldo. Sneaker wedges, Cheap Monday tee, and embroidered jeans from Urban Outfitters. Boyfriend tees from Victoria's Secret PINK. XL round sunnies from Shade's Plus (Providence, RI). All magazines from Target and Walgreens.

Who else is as excited for the fall as I am?! Transitioning pieces from season to season is something I love trying to do to keep my favorite pieces around. Keep your destroyed denim shorts, floral maxi dresses, hi low skirts, and floral denim in your closet and transition them into fall with some awesome (and some of my favorite) fall pieces.
Destroyed denim shorts by kayladoop featuring denim shorts
Everyone loves their favorite pair of high waisted denim cut offs, so why rid them so early? Pair your favorites with thigh high socks, printed loafers, and a quilted cross body bag. Keep yourself warm with a fatigue jacket and add a little sass with a red lip (the perfect touch)!

Floral maxi dress by kayladoop featuring skinny belts
Many people think a floral maxi dress is for the summer only but it's easily warmed up with a denim jacket, a beanie and some combat boots. Complete this girly/edgy look with a belt, some fun gold jewelry and a leather backpack.

The maxi skirt by kayladoop featuring rick owens jacket
The hi-low skirt was such a hit this summer, don't give up on it now! Wear it with a pop colored boyfriend tee, some studded moto boots and an awesome leather jacket. I think this canvas tote is a great way to dress it down with a cool graphic. Don't forget to add some rings! A lot of them!

Printed jeans by kayladoop featuring flower print jeans
How awesome are floral jeans? I can't get enough! Wearing bright printed jeans this fall is easily done. Tone the colors down with some taupe pieces like a cross over sweater and some suede booties. Add somes gold cuffs, black polish and a burgundy bag for some fall color fun. This look has to be my favorite summer to fall transition and nothing tops it off like a wool floppy hat (my favorite accessory for this season) does!
FALL HURRY UP!

Outfit details: White t-shirt from Zara, Deux Lux crossbody bag, Motel Rocks jeans, and Zara sandals.
Spent the day getting lunch in Providence with a Andreia and Savanna walking around the city taking pictures, and discussing a new project we have in mind (EEEP I'm excited)! I am always looking for a time to wear these Motel Rocks jeans when I'm not at work, I'm OBSESSED with them. They are super stretchy and soft and make my legs look SUPER long.
PS. How perfect are these basic sandal heels I got from Zara while I was in Portugal?!
Andreia Claro is a good friend of mine and an awesome photographer/artists, check out her work on her facebook page and her tumblr.

Packing your own lunch just got cool. This $630 USD Jil Sanders leather lunch bag makes carrying around your lunch just another fall accessory. The bag is made in Italy and comes with a dust bag.
Since most of us can't imagine spending over $600 on a lunch bag (Gawd I wish I was a Kardashian), I have also set eyes on similar (but cheaper) styles like these leather lunch bags by Marie Turnor. Marie Turnor's The Snak collection consists of several colors of these cute lunch bags ranging from $117-$135 USD. The Snak bags are handmade in California and come with invisible magnets to keep shut.
Etsy shop HomesteadLeatherWrks also made a leather lunch bag for the affordable price of $47 USD. Not only are they cute and cheap but they are backed up with a lifetime guarantee, how cool is that?
As much as I have been enjoying the summer, I'm extremely excited for the fall. Not only do I love the wardrobe transition but I'm anxious to get back to school. I know that sounds crazy, but I'm starting a new college this year and am excited for all of my courses and exploring the new campus. Whether you're a high schooler or a college commuter everyone wants to look good while being casual for class (well not everyone, there are those who prefer their daily yoga pants). I put together a few outfit ideas for back to school featuring some of my favorite summer to fall transition pieces. Hope this helps!
Sneaker wedges = cute and casual (NEW OBSESSION). Add a pair of sneaker wedges to some destroyed jeans, an edgy shredded tee, and a studded leather backpack. To accessorize throw on a grey beanie and some silver jewelry!
The perfect transition from summer to fall are the beloved tights! Add a pair of colored tights to some printed shorts, a cropped t-shirt, and some ankle booties. Throw your notebooks and lipstick into a cute denim backpack and wear some funny sunnies or vintage jewelry.
Printed denim is making such a huge statement and I think class is a perfect place to wear a pair! When you pair a peplum top with just about anything it adds the perfect amount of fem! To edge it out a bit add a studded bag, a cute bangle, and red accessories (like lipstick and a skinny belt).
If you've read my blog or know me personally you know about my love for all things leather (especially the jacket). The perfect way to make a cute summer dress more fall like/casual is by adding a black leather jacket and some cool leather boots (I love these cut out boots by Jeffrey Campbell, so awesome). Add some gold bangles, a contrasting leather backpack, a subtle lip color, and my favorite scent (Marc Jacobs Daisy) to complete the perfect mix between girly and rocker.

I've been obsessed with this '1991 sweatshirt top' by Wildfox Couture since I first laid eyes on it. I want to wear it with leatherette leggings, a quilted chain bag and some colorful sneaker wedges (AHH too cute). I also think a beanie and a pair of gold heart earrings give the look a piece of edge and a piece of fem (I live for that shit).
