the weekly snap
i added a new gadget on this blog recently called... the weekly snap! basically, each week there will be a new photo (not from pinterest... psh) that i find quite lovely that i want to share with you.
some weeks, i might do a post on the picture, and some weeks i will not. it all depends on if i am feeling it. if i am wearing coral pants, then yes, you will get a post.
as for this week, it is just a snap of some pretty, retro dresses. enjoy, friends.

coffee in the chaos of life
when life gets crazy, sometimes... most times, coffee and friends are the perfect cure.

a few nights a ago, sophie (from Skye High Life ), parker, and i had some much needed friend time at a local coffee shop. i believe there are a lot of moments in life to go non-stop and be super busy, but there are also times to slow down, turn off your phone, talk and enjoy a cupcake.
there is a certain happiness in being silly and ridiculous.

flats and a scarf: parker
 |
| top- forever 21/ scarf- h&m/ pants- loft/ bag- vintage |

| her flats- target/ my flats- old navy |
if you are ever wondering what to wear for a sunday, flats and a scarf is the answer. well, maybe pants and top too. my friend, parker (mentioned here), wore this little outfit last sunday for church. we practically had the same thing on... flats, skinnies, knit tee, and a scarf. great minds think alike. plus, how awesome are these neon yellow pants? pretty awesome, might i say so myself.
what is your sunday style?

saturday stripes

| top- target/ belt- target/ jeans- ae/ shoes- by Franco Sarto/ bag- urban outfitters |
i recently found a new picture editing app for my iphone called Aviary. everyone of you should look it up and get it (it's free!), because it is great! a lot of times i do not have my camera or laptop with me to take picture and edit them, so my phone is always a quick go to option for weekend pictures.
anyways, now on to my outfit. i feel like a wear stripes almost everyday, and now i am starting to wear leopard more often. soooo... i had the brilliant idea of putting them together, and BAM. too much awesomeness for one Saturday. still trying to contain myself.

fall ready
fall is my absolute favorite time of the year. i have been ready for this season since the start of the year. i am ready for sweaters, boots, football games, crafting, trying new recipes, colorful leaves, crisp morning weather, movie days with friends, hot tea, a good book, and oh yeah, blogging.
i always feel more stylish in the fall because of one word... LAYERS. i love layers. the more you pile on, the better. most times.
i made this little outfit on polyvore and love it! too bad those jeans are only a couple thousand dollars. my fall outfit staple is normally jeans, big sweaters, scarves, tall brown boots, knit hats, and cross body bags. i am going to try to change it up a little for this year...
jeans- colored or printed jeans
scarves- well, you can never go wrong with a scarf.
tall brown boots- ankle boots with a bit of edge
knit hats- fedora or cloche
cross body bags- a bright clutch
this look from the blog, fruity girl , is so perfect for transitioning into fall. a summer flowy dress layered with a chunky knit cardigan, gold jewelry, black tights, and ankle booties. so perfect.
are you ready for fall? if so, we should be best friends. this season could not come slow enough though, i might as well just wear boots and tights and hats and see if it will come faster.

new
I start high school tomorrow. this is a time for change, a time for new beginnings, and a time for second chances. It is going to be a big year for me, but I know I can do it. with prayer (and a cup of tea) it will all work out. I just have to kept reminding myself of that. deep breaths, Cate, deep breaths.
plus, what's a better way to start off a new school year than with a new mug from anthropologie? nothing, that's what.

current obsession: gold
recently, i have been buying all things gold- from jewelry to bags to room stuff- it is all gold. in the past, i have always preferred silver things over gold if there was a choice, but now for me, there is no choice. gold it is. i just feel like it is classier, prettier, and a bit edgier. here are a few items that i am loving that are... well you guessed it, gold.
love the arm stack trend this summer, and have been loving GOLD arm stacks even better.
isn't this a beaut? i think it is for sure. gold hard wear on bags is a must for my latest purse wish list (doesn't everyone have one?!).
gold accents, like this wallpaper, are so beautiful and fresh to me in a home. they can add that bit of pizazz in a home you are looking for.
oh no... my obsession has been added to another one of my obsessions, sweets. this could not be good... or could it?
hope you enjoyed another one of my current obsessions, and go peek at my first one on retro swim suits. have a lovely day!
