Shoes: DSW / Vest: Van Heusen / Sweater: Old Navy / Pants: Victoria's Secret / Necklace: Shop Miss A / Beanie: Love Your Melon / Bag: Coach
I am perpetually trying to come up with fun alliterations as my blog post titles (hopefully it's not too over the top!) because they just make me smile. It's so much more fun to say when it's an alliteration :) - but really - herringbone vests make me so happy! They make any outfit so much warmer and can pretty much go with any sweater/long sleeve shirt/button down. Anything that keeps me warm and makes my life easier is a win in my book! Plus, nothing says fall better than a good puffy vest! Recently, I've loved pairing my herringbone vest with super bright sweaters and classic plaid flannels! What are your favorite ways to wear fall vests?

Last Minute Halloween Costumes!
Unfortunately, I'm not one of those people who looks forward to Halloween and plans my elaborate costume for months on end - although I wish I was! In reality, I'm that person frantically googling super duper easy costume ideas on the night of October 30th and scrambling to put together a costume with whatever knick knacks I have lying around the apartment.
To help my fellow lazy friends out there, I've pulled together some of my favorite last minute Halloween costumes from all over the DIY/blogger interwebs! Even if I'm not feeling too creative in the moment, I know I can always turn to the Internet for some of the most creative, fun, and hilarious ideas.
1. Pigs in a Blanket: David and I went as Pigs in a Blanket for Halloween a couple of years ago and it has since been one of my all time favorite Halloween costumes! This blog post is even a little bit more complicated of a costume than what we created! We used dixie cups covered in pink paper for the noses, taped pink cardstock onto headbands for the ears, and then wrapped up in a cozy pink snuggie for the entire night. Bonus points for being the coziest costume ever!
2. Bachelor Contestants: This one's on my future Halloween costume list because it's just so darn hilarious and extremely easy to boot! Just throw on a cocktail dress, grab some friends, pass out a bouquet of roses and you're set! I am a complete and total bachelor-addict so this costume is just too funny to pass up!
3. Raining Cats & Dogs: This one is adorable! If you've already got a rain coat, rain boots, an umbrella, and stuffed animals, you're good to go! Finally, a use for the 1,000 childhood stuffed animals sitting in my closet :)
4. Smartie Pants: What I love about all of these costumes is that you don't have to spend too much extra money because you can create them with things that are already around the house. If you have a pair of glasses, a tie (or even better, a bowtie!), and some high-waisted pants you're already halfway there! Plus, if you love smarties like I do, this costume is an awesome excuse to buy an entire bag of them just so you can munch on them throughout the night :)
What are your plans for Halloween? Whatever they might be - stay safe and stay warm out there!
Candy Corn Nails ☺
Red: Forever 21 Love & Beauty / Gold: Chanel in 607 Delight / Orange: Love my Nails in Orange Blosson
Even though Halloween isn't my favorite holiday, I still love the excuse to be all festive and love decorating my home and outfits to match the holidays! For my nails this week, I went with the subtly Halloween inspired theme of candy corn :)
I took a very simple red and orange stripe down each nail but decided to mix it up with a little sparkly gold at the end - instead of yellow. While it's harder to tell that it's candy corn-inspired with the gold, I think the color brings in a little bit of the golden-y colors of fall! As you might have already noticed, my more complicated design is on my left hand because - hey! I'm right-handed! Over the years, I've learned that it's futile to try to do fancy designs with my weaker hand, so I always do an easier variation instead. This has not only saved me tons of frustration but also gives my nails a little bit of variety between the two sides - which I think makes it even cooler :)
