Currently Craving...

Over here on the East Coast temperatures are (somewhat) dropping, and I cannot wait for pumpkin spice lattes and my cozy sweaters. So, here is what I'm craving for Fall:

1. Topshop Unique Fall 2015 Ready-to-Wear Collection

This line is absolutely STUNNING. I love the '70s influences and fur cuffs galore.

I must get my hands on this white dress. Absolutely must. Here's hoping it won't break the bank...

2. PataPata Jewelry

One of my favorites make-up artists Linda Hallberg always features the most beautiful septum rings on her blog. PataPata septum rings are sterling silver and ship worldwide from Israel! Aren't they the coolest? I need to order some new septum rings because I don't have any fun ones so I've had mine flipped up for the past month or so. 

Isn't she gorgeous? Check out her blog and her Instagram (@lindahallbergs) for all of her creative looks.

3. Solid Platinum Grey Hair (with lilac/lavender tones) 

I've wanted to do this to my hair ever since I saw a co-worker of mine at Nordstrom with the coolest hair. I have really bright platinum highlights right now, but the second I'm not in a show I'm doing the following to my hair... 

4. Victorian Everything

Another big trend for Fall 2015 is everything Victorian--which means ruffles and everything frilly, but with plenty of modern influence. 

Giambattista Valli Fall 2015

Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini Fall 2015

Alexander McQueen Fall 2015

Zimmermann Fall 2015

Givenchy Fall 2015

Marc Jacobs Fall 2015

Here are some more 'affordable' options for the victorian trend: 

Topshop Ruffle Tie Blouse

Topshop Velvet Trim Lace Embroidered Dress

Topshop 'Victoriana' Embroidered Dress

Topshop 'Victoriana' Lace-Up Top

5. Melt Cosmetics Nood Collection

Need I say more? Perfect lip colors for fall. 

Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend!

Floppy Monday

Topshop Floral Print Dress, Steve Madden 'Rosana' Double Ankle Strap Leather Sandals, Topshop Floppy Felt Hat, Ray-Ban 'Wayfarer' 51 mm Sunglasses, Rebecca Minkoff 'Medium MAB' Saffiano Leather Tote, MAC Lipstick in 'Pink Plaid'. 

So today is this girl's first day of school, and I decided to dress up because in a few days I know I'll be back in leotards and sweats (I'm a musical theatre major). Florals are in for fall and I could not be more excited about it. This Topshop dress is a perfect summer to fall transition dress--now I'm pairing it with a felt hat and sandals, but in a few months I can pair it with tights and booties and a cozy cardigan. It's super humid over here on the East Coast, but I'm still trying to soak up all the warm weather before it drops below freezing in a couple of months. And if any of you are in school looking for a tote--look no further than this Rebecca Minkoff bag. It fits all I need to bring to school, including two binders and a laptop (praise). I have all of my outfits planned for this week, so prepare for a boatload of Babushka posts.

A Delayed Wedding Post

Vintage '80s dress, Swedish Hasbeens Peep toe Super High Sandals, Natasha Couture Woven Box Clutch, Sole Society Crystal Ear Jackets, MAC Lipstick in 'Snob'. 

It's about time I posted the outfit I wore to the wedding I went to exactly a week ago... Anyhoo, my family and I flew out to Minnesota (where it is lush and green and wonderful) for my cousin Mark's wedding! It was such a wonderful celebration and even more wonderful to see family I barely get to see because they live so far away. I found this vintage dress in Downtown Santa Cruz, at one of my favorite thrift stores Moon Zoom, and couldn't wait to pair it with this clutch I found in the Trend Accessories department at Nordstrom, and my favorite pair of sandals (that I got on eBay last year super marked down in this olive-brown color shown!). I absolutely love pairing vintage frocks with modern accessories. I promise to post somewhat more frequently! Have wonderful weekends everyone.
