Fall/Winter Favorites

  • Knee high boots: I wear mine basically everyday, they are just the perfect addition to any outfit. They can dress-up or dress-down a look, if I’m feeling lazy and just end up wearing a basic long sleeves with jeans, my black knee high boots make me feel just a little bit more chic. Mine were $40 from Target and I love ’em.

 

  • Pullover: Adds another layer of warmth to any outfit. I’m not just talking about temperature-wise, on a really dreary day, pulling on my Wildfox ‘Oui’ pullover adds a smile to my face.

 

  • Scarf: You should never underestimate the power of a scarf. Similar to the power of a pullover, it adds warmth, while also adding a pop of color to an outfit. I am a big fan of large scarves because you can tie them in a bunch of different ways or use them as blanket in a pinch. Zara has some great, affordable options.

 

  • Gloves: I only started to need them recently, but I’m really glad I have a pair (or two!). I’m a big fan of the gloves that can switch from being fingerless or a full mitten. An Instagram-worthy snap can come and go so quickly, so your fingers should always be ready. The pair I’m currently wearing I bought when I was in Oxford at Fatface.

 

  • Jacket: Obviously, a necessity during this time of the year. However, not all jackets are made equally. The ideal jacket keeps you warm without making you look like a marshmallow. Enter this amazing jacket from Uniqlo: not only does it come in a number of colors, it can also be rolled down to fit in a pouch and is water resistant.

Outside of the sensory overloading strip of fast food chains, gift shops (“We sell Disney tickets here!), and amusement parks (“The Happiest Place on Earth”) in downtown Orlando is the Orlando Museum of Art.

Tuesday Tunes: September 1

~ Hannah Kate ~ Leave a comment

I cannot believe that it is the start of September already! Summer is almost over and with it those inexplicably catchy jams. With the start of a new month, I wanted to start a new feature here on the blog, “Tuesday Tunes”, a playlist of songs I have been enjoying for the past week or so.

Note: My music taste is pretty eclectic and can range from Top 40 hits to Broadway to R&B all in one playlist. You have been warned.

For the first “Tuesday Tunes” I decided to list a bunch of songs that I have been listening to non-stop this summer to commemorate its end.

  1. “Cool for the Summer” by Demi Lovato
  2. “She’s Kinda Hot” by 5 Seconds of Summer
  3. “Run Away with Me” by Carly Rae Jepsen
  4. “Ain’t Nobody (Loves Me Better) [Remix]” by Felix Jaehn ft. Jasmine Thompson
  5. “Pray to God” by Calvin Harris ft. HAIM
  6. “High by the Beach” by Lana Del Rey
  7. “Omen” by Disclosure ft. Sam Smith
  8. “Drag Me Down” by One Direction
  9. “Here” by Alessia Cara
  10. “Pris0ner” by The Weeknd ft. Lana Del Rey
  11. “Locked Away” by R. City ft. Adam Levine
  12. “Fight Song” by Rachel Platten
  13. “Outlaws” by Alessia Cara
