This necklace is beautiful!

(via GeoMinimalist)

Loving this dress! Such a perfect piece for transitioning from summer to fall. I’m picturing it paired with pink booties and maybe a pink faux leather jacket.

(Yeah, I actually went ahead and just ordered that dress because I got myself so pumped on it!)

Every single year I obsess over these velvet pumpkins but I have yet to buy any because they’re also so darn expensive. I found a tutorial though! I’m kind of amazed how easy they are to make. Can’t wait to pick up the supplies!

(via The Little Umbrella)

This purse! So fun! It kind of reminds me of something a fancy robot lady would use. (Truly a strange thought, I know, but you totally get what I’m saying, right!?)

(via Steve Madden)

Diggin this patch!

(via Goners)

This shirt!!

(via Amazon)

Velveteen a-line skirt? YES! So perfect for fall.

(via Madewell)

Joules has some of the darn cutest prints for rain items. This rain jacket is just the bee’s knees! While I don’t have a super cutesy one, can I just say that owning an actual raincoat is life changing?! Jeff got me this one a while back and I’ve been getting a ton of use from it lately.

(via Joules)

Look at this candle holder! So, I actually went searching for these online because I saw some like them at an estate sale. They were way out of my candlestick holder price range but somehow I still felt bad leaving them behind. So happy to see I can buy something super similar for a fraction of the price. (Similarly cool – this snake incense holder!)

(via Amazon)

This pin is amazing!!!

(via Verona Black)

A dress for your casual, everyday, Wednesday Addams looks! Also, this version with the scalloped hem? YES!

(via Amazon)

Link love…

  • Halloween is coming up so sooooon! How cute is this pumpkin sweatshirt!? And this spiderweb skirt!! And yet another spider/spiderweb skirt. Growing up I always thought adults who wore Halloween themed clothing during the month of October were the coolest, I need to work on being young Kaylah’s version of a cool adult.
  • Pumpkin spice sugar stick? Yeah, this sounds tasty!
  • These overalls!!!
  • Loving this set of antique medical illustration prints. Obviously I like it just because of what it is but I also appreciate the fact that each one is in a kind of sassy position.
  • Cute little camera printed pouch.
  • Just three pairs of alien themed socks – a pink pair, a UFO stealing cows & alien heads!

PS. I have a ton more rad finds here! I made a Halloween themed list this week!

These look like regular jeans (and I mean, technically they are) but they’re my favorites! I’ve had a pair for a few months now and they quickly became the pair of jeans I reach for first when picking out my clothes. They fit true to size and best of all, don’t stretch out over the course of the day.

(via Amazon)

This shirt! Yes!

(via Modcloth)

A seemingly random recommendation but y’all I just discovered iced tea. I mean, I used to buy it but I had never realized how simple (and cheap!) it was to make at home. I feel like a massive dummy. Whatever, I’m hooked now. This white hibiscus and peach green tea is incredible. I add just a touch of honey. It’s perfect.

(via Amazon)

I really enjoy this print by Becca Stadtlander.

  • A breeeezy polka dot dress. I’m obsessed with those fluttery sleeves.
  • Yes please to this tiger skirt.
  • On the theme of tigers, here’s a tiger planter! I’ve been making an effort to only buy white or mostly white planters so this would be a perfect addition to my collection.
  • I’m a firm believer that if given the option, you should always go for the cute or silly version of something. So, here’s a banana shaped USB hub.
  • I came. I saw. I made it awkward.
