My Style Diary: Fall Infusion

Fall is my favorite season for so many reasons. The crisp air. The layered outfits. The changing leaves. But the leaves aren’t the only thing that changes, and I think that’s my real favorite reason. I always feel like fall is a fresh start. Maybe that’s just been engrained in my mind since school always started back during the season and it was technically a ‘new year’, but that’s always stuck with me. So many of my favorite memories are made during the fall, and so many scents bring them back- pumpkin spice lattes. vanilla perfumes. So you can imagine my excitement when Bath and Body Works asked me to create an outfit inspired by all of those things.

I can get away with the bare legs because California is still a little warm, but I’ll be bringing this outfit [+ a pair of tights] when I go back home to Chicago this week. I’ve missed my fall too much and am taking the rest of the week to be back home with family / friends to enjoy the little bit of the season I can get.

Do you have any scents that have strong memories for you? Let me know! By the time you’ll be reading this, I’ll probably be in Chicago- bundled up in 40 layers in different neutral shades, wearing my vanilla perfume, drinking a pumpkin spice latte + crafting this years halloween costume with all of my closest friends. I can’t wait 🙂

  1. I love this look! You usually wear black or white, but brown looks great on you too! I just purchased this Bath and Body works scent in a hand lotion and get asked 20 times a day if someone is baking cookies. Pretty annoying, but it does smell amazing! Have a great time in Chicago, can’t wait to see your Halloween outift!

    Much love,

  2. Camp fire. It’s not really a fall memory but every summer when I was young, my parents and I would go to our trailer and have a camp fire. I smell it most often in fall now because of fire places.
    Plus baking. My dad baked most often in fall. (pumpkin pie) Since he passed, I have adopted that tradition.

  3. I found you recently and I loved your style!!! I am obsessed with your LV clutches! My wish list now includes eva in mono, favorite in damier ebene and eva in damier azur, because of you!!!! 🙂
