DIY Flapper Costume

Affiliate Links: If you click on a link in this post, I may make a very small commission. All items were purchased by me.

Last week I started off the Halloween celebration with silly pet costumes. This week, it’s the humans turn with this DIY Flapper Costume! This isn’t your typical DIY costume… I’m not actually making anything, but I am DIY-ing this by skipping the packaged costumes! I’m keeping it budget-friendly at under $25 (below the average price of one of those lame-o pre-packaged versions.) The nice thing about the costumes I have planned? It’s likely you’ll already own a lot of the pieces I’m repurposing, and after Halloween you won’t have to dump the entire costume!

Shopping Guide: Adam Lippes for Target

Affiliate Links: If you click on a link in this post, I may make a very small commission.

There seemed to be some interest around these collection reviews (remember my rundown of the LC Lauren Conrad Runway Collection?) so I figured I’d give the Adam Lippes for Target Collection a shot too. I had stalked the lookbook on Refinery29 when it was released several months ago and lusted over several of the plaid pieces. The collection launched late last month, and I jumped online at midnight to see if I could nab a few pieces. Lots of crickets online with this collection… quite the opposite from my last run-in with Lilly Pulitzer x Target collaboration!

I digress. The point is, this collection had little fanfare. Apparently no one else has the same love of plaid that I do. Or maybe people are sick of Target’s designer collaborations. The world will never know. The Adam Lippes for Target collection also featured home goods, men’s clothing, and women’s clothing was available in regular or plus size. I stuck to just women’s clothing for this one, so onto what I picked up and what I thought!

Runway to Real Way: The Poncho


At the beginning of every fall season, there’s always one or two trends that I get super excited about after fashion week. This year, that was the poncho. Specifically, plaid and color blocked ponchos. Last year it was the blanket scarf. I’d argue that this year, it’s the blanket poncho. It’s going to be a thing, I’m telling ya. ;)

Stitch Fix October 2015

Another month, another Stitch Fix. I know some may wonder why a style blogger would be interested in Stitch Fix, after all, isn’t the fun part of style the shopping part? While I’d totally say yes, the thing that I like is that it allows me to add pieces (for me, it’s just one piece per fix) that I wouldn’t normally find. The longer with Stitch Fix, the more I’ve noticed that I’m not able to find these exact items anywhere else. Additionally, I often receive items that I’ve wanted to add to my closet since I’ve pinned similar items.

Stitch Fix October 2015 Styling & Review

Plus lately, I haven’t had as much time to shop… so it allows me the opportunity to freshen up my closet without leaving the house. It doesn’t always work out for me, like last month when I tried to avoid dress shopping by requesting wedding-appropriate dresses. For something like that, I’ll probably go with Rent the Runway, as I used for Bellevue Fashion Week. Anyways, onto this month’s review!

I can’t believe it’s already Monday. This weekend flew by exceptionally fast and lately I’ve wished I had just a few more hours. I’m especially not looking forward to the time change… it’s already getting dark so much earlier, and no longer can I squeeze in any outfit photos after work. Just means weekends are even more full! #BloggerProblems, am I right?
