Shoe Crush- Star Sandals
Even though I may be yearning for fall, it is still summer. So in honor of these last few weeks of warm weather, here are some fabulous sandals. Fabulous because they have stars on them. Yes, I love stars.

Watch Obsession- Owls
A lot of pretty cute owl accessories and home décor has made its way into the world lately. In honor, I'm devoting this Watch Obsession to Betsy Johnson's Owl Watch. Cute!
Is Fall Here, Yet?
While I pretty much hate winter, and can only stand snow for about the first 24 hours, I absolutely love fall. Boots, scarves, leggings, cardigans.... what more could we ask for? Oh yeah, cozy weather, hot chocolate and cider, and football. Pretty much the best time of year!
So in honor of my premature fall fashion cravings, here are a few accessories I can't wait to break out and some that I wish I had in my wardrobe!
Switching from hot summer to cool fall? Go from shorts to rolled boyfriend jeans and some cute flats or sneakers. The best accessory for switching seasons? A great cardigan that you can layer with. If the summer heat sticks around a bit, you can always take it off in the afternoon and layer up again when it gets cool at night. Plus, you look so effortlessly cute you'll have no problem finding someone to keep you warm on those cool evenings. :)
A chambray or plaid shirt paired with super dark jeans is a great combo. Add on a chunky scarf and keep that trend going with accessories. A 'manly' big watch and a neutral bag complete this great look. Wearing your hair up in a bun or pony with a scarf also looks super chic.
I could go on and on about fall/winter style, and probably will in future posts. This look will be a comfy classic for at least a few style years to come. A big shirt/tunic/sweater over leggings (remember, it should be long enough to cover up your bum!) is a great way to stay comfy and warm. Staying in? Wear it however you want. Going out? Well, still wear it however you want, but adding a cardigan, scarf, and some cute boots (three must haves) is a great way to be stylish, comfy, and warm all at the same time!
Now go enjoy the rest of your summer while dreaming of spiced ciders and cute boots!

What I'm Reading
Lately, I've been reading a lot of young adult fiction. They tend to have decent story lines and are easy reads.
I've been reading the Infernal Devices Series by Cassandra Clare. This series includes Clockwork Angel, Clockwork Prince, and Clockwork Princess. They are the prequel to the Mortal Instruments series.
Story synopsis from Amazon.com:
"In a time when Shadowhunters are barely winning the fight against the forces of darkness, one battle will change the course of history forever. Welcome to the Infernal Devices trilogy, a stunning and dangerous prequel to the New York Times bestselling Mortal Instruments series.
The year is 1878. Tessa Gray descends into London’s dark supernatural underworld in search of her missing brother. She soon discovers that her only allies are the demon-slaying Shadowhunters—including Will and Jem, the mysterious boys she is attracted to. Soon they find themselves up against the Pandemonium Club, a secret organization of vampires, demons, warlocks, and humans. Equipped with a magical army of unstoppable clockwork creatures, the Club is out to rule the British Empire, and only Tessa and her allies can stop them...."
