Colors of Colleen

My booties are Dolce Vita and currently on sale with the veterans weekend sale taking place and won’t last long! They're less than $90 at Lord & Taylor with an additional 20% off!

They fit true to size, and do take some time breaking in for the fact they’re a pointy toe. However, totally worth it because the suede pairs perfectly with skirts and dresses for a casual look. I do have narrow feet so maybe not as comfortable for wide width feet.

I found this Cynthia Rowley sweater at TJ Max and it also would work well for tucking into a skirt since it’s not super long in length like I usually wear my sweaters. I've been shopping online and it's less overwhelming than going through the craziness of racks and those long lines. Has anyone else tried this yet?

This sweater is a super soft turtle neck and not itchy at all ! I’ve linked very similar styles that would pair well with pants or skirts. My leopard print clutch is a leather version from Italy and folds over. I'm listing similar finds at different price points below.

Happy fall sales weekend! Nordstrom's weekend sale ends this evening so check it out while it's on, they're price matching and many styles are on sale up to 40% off.

SWEATER: ruffled sleeve option and love this one. Also the cardigan versions like this cardigan and this color are so gorgeous too. Lot's of similar options from TJMAXX too.

PANTS: Banana Republic Also love my Paige (legging denim) and Joe's black denim too!

LEOPARD CLUTH: BP, Sole Society: black and leopard fold over, Sole society all leopard (on sale!)

Finally getting back into this little blog after a few months of debating how to best prioritize all that I juggle in this city that never sleeps. Or maybe, it's just me that's not sleeping with so much to do on never ending to do lists. I'm in the midst of wedding planning, and as fun and exciting it is to picture our special day, the self planning of such a big soiré has honestly been overwhelming. August will be here soon enough and we can't wait to celebrate and let all the little stuff go.

So it's been a struggle to find the right balance, and coming back to what I'm passionate is what I need to fuel me for the long haul when the going gets tough.

In the fall my fiancé and I had taken a trip out to Long Island with my family. After a second visit we both knew upon entering the historical mansion on the Gold Coast of Long Island that this would be our spot. It felt like a home really, a place that we could see our friends and closest family gathering together, but with the right kind of gatsby feel. We spent the day exploring out of the city and ended it at a delicious spot on the water for some seafood and an unexpected sunset. We captured some little previews of our spot and the rest will have to stay a surprise.

This day was a little chillier and I love soft pastels so I slipped on this warm off the shoulder sweater and some mules. Mine are originally from the Dolce Vita for Target line, so I linked similar ones here. With my skin fair in the fall and winter I tend to gravitate toward more muted and neutral hues.
