Now that the weather has finally cooled down here in Pittsburgh, I was able to bring out my leather jackets and my vintage leather pants! I have quite the vintage leather collection (if I do say so myself!) that I’ve thrifted over the years and I try to style my leather pieces whenever I can. Leather pants are perfect during the fall season, they look super chic, and can be styled in so many ways. I’ve styled them in 5 different looks for you guys and linked similar + exact pieces throughout the post so you can shop similar pieces to style in your looks this season!

I’ve rounded up some fun pieces from Madewell that are perfect for transitioning into the fall season this year! I love neutral + earth tone colors for fall and some of these pieces have pretty simple prints that give farmer chic vibes. I’ve also included a few skirts and dresses that you can easily layer with light jackets and boots as the weather starts getting cooler. They actually have a sale on denim going on from September 18-20 for $10 full price denim so it’s a good time to take advantage of that. I love rounding up these pieces and putting these guides together for you guys! Let me know if there are any other brands or guides you’d like to see 😉

We celebrated my 29th birthday this week with a city outing, games, and cake of course! 😉 I can’t believe I’m only one year away from 30, which is both exciting and a little frightening to me at the same time… I’m looking forward to our destination wedding next year (we are shooting for late spring, more on that soon) and hopefully starting our family next year! These discussions have made me reflect on myself and what I want for my life more than ever.

I thought it would be fun to style some classic white, summer pieces in 3 Fourth of July inspired looks! I had a ton of fun styling these looks with thrifted purses and new sustainable pieces from ABLE and Grey State. I popped in some red and blue accents for that patriotic feel and channeled some retro vibes as well. I’m hoping this post will give you guys some inspiration on what to wear to your Fourth Of July celebrations this year, whether you are going to a backyard barbecue or having a picnic at the park!

Schyler and I have been trying to catch the cherry blossoms in bloom here in Pittsburgh for weeks now!

The view of the Pittsburgh cityscape through the blossoms was breathtaking!

I thought I would share this look from a coffee date with my fiance Schyler last week! We grabbed my favorite drink, an iced oat milk vanilla latte, from my favorite Pittsburgh coffee shop, KLVN Coffee Lab. I loved this casual outfit for a day of exploring our neighborhood. It has a bit of a masculine look to it, especially with this mens vintage leather Averix jacket that my dad bought me at an antique store near Portland, OR. I paired it with my classic black Doc Martens, a vintage band tee, and my comfiest Levi jeans. My worn in baseball cap completes the look!
