Moody Style: Grateful for Gingham

You can never have enough colors of J.Crew's excursion quilted down vests, especially when they go on sale.  I own this vest in 5 other colors and I obsessed with them despite me living in a warm state like Florida. The vest is super comfortable and the gold snap pockets are stylish as well as functional.  The excursion vest is perfect for layering and the down insulation keeps you warm without overheating.  This irish moss vest is currently on sale for $99.99 as well as the heather tiger lily color.  And you can save an additional 30% off today when you use the code: 25HOURS.

Moody Style: Peplum Perfection

This peplum top is just too perfect and it's only $18.  As soon as I saw it in the store I knew I had to buy it.  It also comes in an olive green/white stripe and a solid black in case you're not loving the stripes.  The sleeves are a little snug, so I suggest sizing up on this one.  I'm wearing a medium here and I'm really happy about how it fits.  I love pairing any stripes with these leopard flats and this top is long enough for you to pair it with leggings - which I love.  And I normally would have added one of my Kendra Scott necklaces, but I can't get enough of this bowtie choker.  I think it really completed the look. What do you guys think? Are you guys loving the choker trend right now? Let me know in the comments below!

In the Mood – Currently Loving

Here’s another quick list of some things I’ve had my eye on this month.  The best thing is that everything that I'm loving right now is under $50 - even the over-the-knee boots! Well, check out some of my must-haves for the month and let me know what you think.  Have you already started adding some new pieces to your fall wardrobe?

Moody Style: Leather & Lace

You may recall that I bought this BlankNYC Faux Leather Jacket over the summer during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  It’s by far one of my favorite pieces that I picked up.  If you don’t already own a leather jacket, then I would suggest adding this one to your wardrobe.  This jacket is so versatile because it can be worn all year long – in the fall/winter you can wear it with a pair of dark rinsed jeans or a cute fall floral dress and in the spring/summer you can wear it with white jeans or even some pretty pastels.  It also comes in two colors like this camel/brown that I'm wearing and black.  And the $98 price point isn’t bad either considering the faux leather looks like the real thing. As far as the fit is concerned, I think the jacket runs a little small.  I’m wearing a Medium over this lace tunic and I think it would fit fine over a thin sweater too.  Well, what do you think about adding this faux leather jacket to your fall wardrobe? Let me know what other ways you would style it in the comments. Happy Friday Friends!

Moody Picks – Halloween Style Finds

Did you all realize that Halloween is exactly one week away? I know – time is flying by right?  It’s very rare that I buy a whole costume for the “scarest” night of the year.  I tend to pickup a few Halloween inspired pieces to wear on the holiday without committing to a whole outfit. And I’m pretty sure I’ll be doing the same thing again this year. 

Whether you have plans to stay in and pass out candy, get dressed up for a costume party or just plan to get some candy trick or treating, here are 20 ways to incorporate a little Halloween style into your wardrobe without breaking the bank. Are you planning on dressing up this Halloween? Do you tend to go all out in full costume and make-up or do you tend to skip it altogether?
