Loving: Fall Booties

Okay, okay...I admit it...I need to stop posting about fall fashion (see my last post) and enjoy the last month of summer!  But I just love fall fashion so much that I just can't help it.  The topic today is fall booties.  They look so chic paired with a dark skinny jean or if you're a bit daring try pairing your booties with a shift dress.  Also, I love that there are so many bootie styles!

Grunge Girl

The grungy look will be in this coming fall.  Think of it as a 90's revival...so pull out your plaid, your band shirts, and your doc martins. It's not the easiest look to pull off but if you're feeling like me and feel like incorporating a bit of this trend into your wardrobe check out these two looks below...

I like how this look is still a bit grungy while still remaining chic, definitely a look that I would love to pull off because it's pretty simple to replicate!  The tan leather jacket is the focal point of the outfit but it has been "grunged" up by some dark, dark eyeliner and a pair of black tights.

Another quick fix is just to tie a plaid shirt around your waste and viola, you've achieved the grunge girl look!

Favorite Music Apps

Today I am going to share my favorite music apps.  I'm a big fan of discovering new music and what a better time to do it than in the summer when you have some extra time or need some new music for summer beach parties?!  Best part is that both apps mentioned are free!   

The first app/website that I love is Pandora.  Pandora is super popular so you probably already know about it.  If you don't, go check it out.  Plug in your favorite artist and Pandora will make you a playlist with similar sounding artists!  

The second app/website is probably my absolute favorite app of the year (and I use many apps)!  It's called 8 tracks.  What I love is that you can search for music based on mood, genre, and occasion that you want to play it for.  For example, I'll pick House + Chill, if I want some good music for a chill get together with friends.  If I have a beach party, I'll pick Party + Electronic.  So simple and so great!  If you get sick of a certain playlist there are about 1 million other playlists that you can check out.
