A beautiful sweatshirt that combines comfort, crochet details with flattering lines? This top is an absolute win all around. The red hue gets you in the fall groove and I can't get enough of the lace-like crochet details. 

Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree.

--Emily Bronte

 

Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile.

--William Cullen Bryant

I hope you are enjoying the fall season and all the beautiful colored leaves.

Floral shift dress vibes

This pretty floral dress from Old Navy is almost sold out, but if you happen to be an XS--it's only $15 currently. A floral dress is such an easy outfit--toss it on and some boots and you have a fall look. If it's too cold out, just add some tights too!

Where flowers bloom so does hope.

A cranberry top in a pumpkin patch

Hello to the end of October. Has anyone else's month flown by? I cannot believe we're going to be talking Thanksgiving and Christmas soon. But before we get too focused on the upcoming holiday season, let's talk about this cranberry top. It's flowy, comfy and a bargain from Old Navy. I love the fluttery sleeves. It's seasonless--just as easily office appropriate as casual. The lipstick is Love Bite from Kylie Cosmetics. It's her new color for fall. I absolutely love it! I hope you are enjoying fall. PS: The earrings are handmade and available on etsy. They are so lightweight and gorgeous.

Thanks to Warren for taking the photos.

Cranberry, lace & fall weddings

Cranberry dresses, fall leaves and a Kansas breeze. I traveled to Lawrence, Kansas this past weekend to attend the wedding of my wonderful Cottey College suitemate Kamay. Didn't she look beautiful? She was a gorgeous bride and couldn't keep that smile off her face. I wore this pretty and flattering rich red find from Forever 21. The dress was less than $25 and features a great cut and perfect cute sleeves. The bodice has see through lace panels so I wore a black cami underneath. Side note: believe the label when it says not to put the dress in the dryer.  I was in a hurry packing and threw the dress in the dryer for a few minutes and unfortunately, it did make the fabric ripple. I just didn't have the time to let it hang dry, whoops. The dress is still totally wearable, but it doesn't look as nice. I bought the dress within the last couple of months, but I can't find it online. It might still be available at your local Forever 21. Also, I tried the high waisted black tights from ASSETS by Sara Blakely, which you can purchase at Target for $18. They are definitely not as nice as the actual Spanx version, but they are still high quality and do the job at a more affordable price. The Spanx version come up higher on the waist and the material seemed of a slightly higher quality. Everything else in the look is from past seasons. Happy fall lovelies! Stay awesome and follow me on instagram @melissamchee for makeup closeups and details.

What a doll! Plus, Torrid Model Search.

Torrid just released a new Barbie fashion collection! It's available exclusively online. I'm a little Barbie-obsessed so I purchased several items from the collection. This outfit includes two of the items: a flattering below the knee pencil skirt and comfy lipstick sweatshirt. The skirt actually doesn't include the Barbie logo anywhere on the outside of the skirt, but it's amazing! Great cut, comfortable and a length of skirt that is perfect, but sometimes hard to find. The skirt has a bit of give and zips up the back. Also, the lips and white dot print is fun and different from your average black skirt. The Barbie sweatshirt is another one of my favorites from the collection. Comfy and cute? Yes! I can definitely see pairing it with black leggings, yoga pants or jeans for a stylish and simple weekend look. I'm sure I will be living in my Barbie sweatshirt this fall. It's a great length--the end hits below the hip. It's nice and loose, but in a good way. And I just love the lipstick and Barbie graphic. The purse is a Nordstrom Anniversary Sale find.  The sale is over, but you can still purchase the bag on their website. I was looking for a quilted black leather purse and I love the unique stitching on this purse. The leather is buttery soft and lovely! I chanced it by ordering this purse online without seeing it, but am extremely happy with it. It's high quality and big enough for all your essentials - plus some! It's very luxurious.

Also, if you haven't already heard Torrid is searching for the Face of Torrid 2016. I submitted my application using a couple of the photos above. The application was straightforward. You'll need a headshot, full length shot and short video answering why you'd like to be the next face of Torrid. You can still apply on their website through August 26.
