Its good to be home where I finally have someone to take blog pictures for me. Today was the perfect fall day breezy, in the sixties, and sunny. My friend Corie just invested in an awesome camera which we  had to test out in a field near her house. I was excited to see Free People bringing back the full on plaid/grunge trend so I decided to do my own bohemian take on it.

Effortlessly Cool: Fall Shopping

(images via Pinterest)

This week I have been particularly inspired by the "effortlessly cool" look. That look that evolves from a wardrobe filled with the best basics and staple pieces. For fall I have been trying to stay away from "trendy" clothing and instead invest in some timeless basics that will carry me from season to season. I remember when fall shopping consisted of heading to Forever21 and buying in bulk as many trendy pieces as possible. Now here is a list of some of my new fall buys for 2013:

One Teaspoon Baggies

Black Birkenstocks

The Boyfriend Overall

The Chelsea Boot

The Week in Photos

 New display at the Sherman Oaks Bloomingdales

 Morning sunrise in Santa Monica

Living in my One Teaspoon Baggies

This past week has been filled with adventure. My normal routine of school...showroom...homework was altered when the opportunity arose to assist with the visual displays for Free People Shops. The shops we worked on were located at Bloomingdales Santa Monica & Sherman Oaks. I spent hours fluffing flowers and hanging new merchandise. It was exciting to see the shops transition from one concept to the next and even more exciting to be a part of the process. These are just some photos I snapped throughout the week.
