Preppy Girls Guide to Fall Essentials!!

Hey Preps!
     Its finally that time of year again! I have to say, Fall is definitely my favorite season for putting together outfits. Here is a list of my Fall essentials:

1. Gingham Button Down- This is definitely a Fall essential. These tops are perfect for simple Fall outfits. You can add a pop of color with a pink sweater, layer different shirts and cardigans over, pop on a vest, the possibilities are really endless on how to style this top.

2. Pearl Necklace- Pearls can add a nice touch of class to a simple outfit. You could wear a t-shirt dress and a pearl necklace and it instantly becomes a dressed-up look.

3. Vest- This is one of my favorite Fall necessities. I have one puffer vest from J.Crew and I love it so much. I am thinking about getting a fleece one from Vineyard Vines. These are great for staying in style while bundling up!

4. Booties- Booties are a must. They look so nice with jeans and they really tie into Fall. I have a pair from Jack Rogers and I love wearing these everywhere.

5. Bean Boots- These are SO adorable. They are great for rainy and snowy days, but you can wear them WHENEVER! Even when it is a bright, sunny day, they still look nice. I love mine and I can't wait to bring them back out for the season. I like to pair them with J.Crew socks, and when I am wearing them with a more casual outfit, they look great with tall Nike socks. They are on the expensive side, but definitely a great, useful buy!

6.  Shep Shirt- Obviously these aren't really "essentials," they are just things that I feel I need to achieve adorable Fall looks. One of my favorites is a Vineyard Vines shep shirt. I love wearing this by itself or layering it with a buttton down.

7. Cinched Skirt- I have an olive green J.Crew cinch skirt and I love styling it for Fall. It looks great with sweaters and vests. This is definitely a great fashion item for Fall parties.

Preppy Room Tour!!

Hey Preps!
     I am so excited to do this post. I have seen many other bloggers and YouTubers do this, and I was lucky enough to have just redone my room! I wanted to show y'all how I styled it. Let's take a look inside my room!

This is the "overview" of my bedroom. I put in a lot of time and effort coming up with the look of my room, so I hope you like it! My room really represents my style. I used my favorite color combo, NAVY AND CORAL!!!

 Here is my door from the inside of my room. I put a patterned 'C' (World Market) over my light switches. I also have a printout calendar on the back of my door for blog post, giveaway and photo planning.
 To the right of my door, I have my full-length mirror. I strung some little, pink lantern lights (Target) around it.
 Next to my mirror is my closet. I have two hooks that I hang my hats on. It is just a normal purse hook so I am sure you can get one anywhere.

 In the corner next to my closet, I have my chair. I love the bright pop of coral this chair adds to my room (World Market). I draped my floral blanket (Vera Bradley) on the back of it and added an emoji pillow. I am not quite sure where this pillow is from, I got it as a gift, but they are everywhere nowadays, so I am sure if you just search it online you could find one.

By my chair, is my night-stand. I have a white, bow lamp (not sure where it is from), a monogrammed tray (local boutique), a clock and a little quoted picture. This tray is super handy for hair-ties and bobby pins.

 Next, is one of my favorite parts of my room. I really believe that your bedspread and pillows pull your room together, so I focused a lot on this part of my room. My duvet cover and bedskirt are from Pottery Barn, my coral shams are from World Market, all the throw pillows and the pom pom blanket are from Target. My monogram wall decal is from Etsy.




Next is my desk. I have a monogrammed clipboard set on it, a Lilly Pulitzer stationary set and a mason jar with pens and pencils. Over my desk is a Lilly Pulitzer whale garland. I saw this idea on Daily Dose of Prep and loved it. I found the whale printable on Pinterest. Hanging above my desk are my shelves with knick-knacks.

 Now this, is definitely my favorite corner of my room. I have my dress form! I love it so so much. I use it to display and plan outfits. Right now, I have my homecoming dress on it. I got the dress form at a local market, and my homecoming dress is from an online boutique.
 Over the dress form, I have my gallery wall. It took a long time to put this together, but I am so happy with the finished product. A majority of the prints are from Etsy, PaperSource, and local boutiques.
Next to my gallery wall, there is my dresser. I just keep my jewelry box and some ring dishes on here, as well as a three-drawer container with stickers kept in it.

 To the right of my dresser, I have this 4-hook set (Home Depot) with my everyday necklaces hung on there.
 That is my room! That is everything you can find in my bedroom. This is also where I plan my blog posts and Instagram pics. You should definitely follow me on Instagram and check my blog each Sunday for new posts. Hope you enjoyed and don't forget to check out my Instagram!
