Plaid is Rad

I've been a huge fan of plaid my whole life, which is unusual considering I had to wear a plaid kilt for my school uniform... Maybe it's because it makes me think of fall and makes me a little nostalgic for that "Back to School" feeling. Whatever the case, plaid is the perfect pattern for fall and so versatile. I love that you can keep it really preppy or make it a little edgier and, dare I say, punk. I am helpless against a good plaid flannel shirt and am starting to think I need a pair of plaid pants a la Elin Kling below. Also, how about Julie Sarinana from Sincerely Juls wearing cute plaid pants with an army coat?! Two of my favorite fall trends! How are you all going to wear plaid this season??I think I'll get some green and navy plaid cropped pants and pair with some sort of leather. I'm also dying for these Joie shoes. So so cute!

Tailgate Time

On Friday, I'm heading to Boston for the BC-Notre Dame football game and I couldn't be more excited. My sister is a junior at Boston College and my dad went to Notre Dame so it's always a great time and a fun rivalry. My mom always does it up for the tailgate. She's heading down to Arthur Avenue tomorrow to pick up the freshest meats and cheeses and always cooks up her famous chili. Luckily, it's going to be in the 50's so I can leave my heavy winter coat behind in New York.Can't wait for bloody marys and fun times with my family.

I've been trying to figure out what I'm going to wear and below are some outfit inspirations I've pulled from pinterest.Plaid and flannel and cashmere and big, comfy sweaters and boots and scarves and barbour jackets come to mind!
