racks on racks

As I may or may not have mentioned previously, I recently moved out of my parent's house and into a house with my older sister. Among the things I miss the most would be: my sweet puppy, not having to pay for silly but necessary things like laundry detergent, my mom's incessant bear hugs....and most importantly, my walk-in closet. RIP.
My new closet is half the size of my old one, and it's entirely full already. Annnnnd I've only moved 1/4 of my clothing over.
As I am trying to work on my problem-solving skills (they are lacking), upon moving out I decided to invest in a clothing rack for seasonal items I would frequently wear, so as to make room in my closet (and to add to the aesthetic of my room). But being as busy as I am with college classes and studying, work, sorority functions, and trying to squeeze in a couple hours of sleep here and there, I've hardly had time to even unpack, let alone organize my clothing.
Finally last Sunday I had nothing on my plate until the late evening, so I (first and foremost) slept in until noon....and then decided to hang up and organize most of the clothing I've moved over. And since (miraculously!!!) the weather has been in the 50's in the mornings/evenings and 70-80's in the afternoon, I figured it was 100% acceptable to bust out my favorite (faux) furs, leather, and knits.
It makes me so giddy and excited when I walk in my room every night and see those pretties sitting there and I realize it'll only be a few more weeks or so before I can wear everything that's patiently sitting there! FALL IS HERE!

falling for fall

If you went through the entirety of this blog, you'd probably find that 86.4% of my posts have something related to autumnal weather in them. I'm not kidding. My obsession with fall is really strange/out of control. But now that the season is upon us, I can totally pass this obsession as normal. Who doesn't get excited for fall? (If you just rolled your eyes and said you didn't, you might as well just close this tab right now because not loving fall isn't allowed on my blog.)
ANYWAYS, I thought I'd share some of my fall-spiration with you guys before I start shooting my own fall outfit posts (the excitement is real).

Hope you're all enjoying pumpkin spice latte's (I know I am)!

fall essentials (pt.1)

Although the weather and I aren't exactly in agreement, with the month of September comes autumn. And as I am an autumn baby (19 on Friday!), this is by far my favorite season. All year I look forward to the 2 weeks I can wander around in chunky knits and boots with a pumpkin spice and my hair will hold curls...ugh it's glorious. And even if I can't have that weather just yet, I find great comfort in knowing it's not too far off. Finally I'll be able to wake up without wanting to cry and walk out the door in a bikini (why isn't that socially acceptable in Texas yet? I feel like it should be). And I know you lucky northerners are already getting a taste of autumn (adopt me) so I thought I'd go ahead and get my fall posts rollin'!
Pictured above is a little set of some items I'm most excited to get my hands on this fall :')

What are your favorite trends for fall?
