I've been prepping for Fall since early August and I decided to make a board of the most popular trends and trends I've been using for the season with work/models and my wardrobe :)  In short, this season is all about pattern mixing along with retro, of course (I can't wait for Spring if any of you have seen the highlights/photos from or gone to NYFW!).  Plaid and leopard look beautiful together (Ralph Lauren is a great example for this one), as well as floral and stripes (and floral and plaid- be careful with this one!).  Bold colors and black and white (high contrast) are also really big (refer to Kate Spade this season).  Luckily for me, this year has been all about the preppy look so collars are SUPER in (pair with a nice statement necklace to complete the outfit)!  What is your favorite look for this season?

City Hall Weddings From Coast to Coast

Refinery29 had the genius idea to document City Hall Weddings at San Francisco and New York City and shared these photos with the world.  Growing up, I always thought going to City Hall to get married was cheap and not really classy at all, but as I got older and more logical (and wiser too) I found it was quite the opposite (and now I know alot of people that have gone this route.. myself and my fiancee included this month!).
