I’m having a hard time believing that summer is winding down and that New York Fashion Week is already around the corner. September is looking like a busy month for me with NYFW and family/friends visiting at various times next month. I have a couple outfit ideas in mind for NYFW, but they’re not complete yet, so I thought I would turn to Pinterest again for outfit inspiration. Take a look at some pictures that are inspiring me below!
I love that this first look is made up of two closet staples- the little white dress and a black leather jacket. I happen to have both of these items, so all I would need to recreate that look is a killer pair of shoes. Hello lady in red on the right! The skirt makes a statement all on its own, but I’m also loving those burgundy lace-up shoes that’s she added to finish off the look.
I’m in love with that pink skirt- it’s the stuff of girly dreams. Also, Taylor Tomasi Hill can do no wrong, am I right? That floral dress she’s wearing is simply gorgeous and then she tops it off with a cropped leather jacket to add some edge.
Ahhh burgundy- probably my favorite color for fall. The look on the left is simple and classic. On the right, I’m loving her polka dot skirt and we know that polka dots are always a yes. Both of these girls look put-together yet totally comfortable- definitely one of the vibes I’m going for.
Umm, this girl on the left is the coolest with her leather jacket, leather crop top, bright red skirt and pointed flats. Will someone teach me how to look as cool as she does? On the right, I’m loving this all-white and anything-but-boring outfit. The pattern and the shape of the skirt is so pretty and and I’m loving her lace-up heels too!
Tell me: Which outfit is your favorite?

![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!

It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?

Don’t even say it, I’m not at all ready for it to be September. Clearly the black leather motojacket is a fashion week favorite.
Haha, yep- everyone loves a leather jacket! :)
I love the look of a leather jacket over something girly like a dress or lace top. The first look is probably my favorite :)
I love the look of leather + lace too!
I love that red skirt!
Yes- it’s so pretty!
Oh my goodness, so much great information! I am also not ready for it to be September. Holy cow, I move at the end of September and have so much to do before then :(
Oh man, moving can definitely be tough! Hang in there- I’m sure you’ll get everything done :)
I love the first look! Girly with a bit of an edge that’s just my style.
I like to think that’s my style too (although sometimes it’s just plain girly :)!
Outfit #1: I MUST have those shoes.
Outfit #4: Gorgeous. That waist….*sigh*.
Outfit #8: For some reason I can’t get behind this. I’m not sure if it’s the skirt or the shoes.
1. Yeah, those shoes are like $1,000 :O
2. Agreed. *sigh*
3. Hmm, I love both the skirt and the shoes! Although I don’t know that the skirt would work on me- I think you might have to be pretty tall to pull off that shape!
I am so in love with the first look – soft and hard mix done perfectly!! I’m also loving the pink skirt – so feminine and pretty! Ahhh, excited for NYFW!
Me too- I’m getting so pumped! :)
My fave is totally the floral + moto jacket look! LOVE IT.
Moto jackets for the win! :D
Punk housewife!
