Well, it seems like the snow is coming back to DC! I've had this pom pom beanie for years now and i always keep it in my purse when it gets cold out. I also love having my Hunters when it snows - three weekends ago the snow was so high that it went up to my knees! Nothing kept my feet warm or dry like my boots! I wore them out to the bar even :) snow day means you can be casual and get away with it! So why not rock a cute beanie for a change?!

It's no secret that I reach for black in the winter. It's easy to pull an all black look together and feel totally chic! That's been leaving me feeling a little lackluster recently so my solution has been to reach for my spring purses to add in a pop of color. (This also makes taking a work appropriate outfit to nighttime incredibly easy! Swap accessories and that's it!) The fun mint color is making me really hope for warmer weather and all of my bright sundresses! That's wishful thinking though ;) for now I'll stick with breaking out my spring accessories and incorporating them into my warm outfits!

{september favorites + giveaway}

I can't believe September is about to be over! This month totally flew by… I tried a lot of new things and fell in love with some tried and true items! Did you have anything that became a staple this month?

Psst… keep reading to enter an awesome GIVEAWAY!

Leopard Flats // I know I preach about wearing leopard way too much but breaking out my leopard flats for commuting to work was the perfect way to get me excited about a transitioning wardrobe. I can get tired of wearing the same shoes over and over (commuter problems) but with these I never do.

Moon & Lola Ring // I received this in my Rocksbox and have worn it every day since! I love to layer simple rings and stack silver and gold bands together. This ring is the perfect addition with a bit of sparkle.

Sephora Sleep Mask // I'm a sucker for a good mask… the price tag and the different kinds sold me instantly. I love the pearl, green tea and lotus ones! (They are also so much fun to throw in gifts for people - who doesn't love trying new products that make you feel great?!)

Ban.do Portable Charger // After attending the Landmark Festival in DC this past weekend I have fallen in love with my portable charger… again!!! Seriously, if you need one thing for when you travel or are out at night it's this little baby. I'm on snapchat (jennrog3) all the time and am constantly having cell service problems. That combo is lethal for my phone dying quickly. I've even lent it out to friends for a quick boost so they can catch an uber home!

S'Well Water Bottle // Amazed. Obsessed. Unreal. I won this in a selfie contest at work (yes, seriously) and was amazed that it actually keeps liquids cold for 24 hours and warm for 12. Waking up at 4am after a long day of drinking only to discover you have ice water by your bed? Pure hangover bliss.

Living Proof Perfect Hair Day // My hairdresser used to use this product all the time and I believed it was the reason my hair looked so perfect after a fresh cut and blowout. Spoiler alert: it's never as perfect but it makes my strands feel incredible and I know it's protecting against heat and humidity!

Aerie Lace Bralette // Girls - big or small you'll love these bralettes. Just ask all of my roomies. For those days when you come home and can't simply take off your bra for the night… this is your solution. (Plus, I adore a little lace sticking out under a v-neck tee.)

Rebecca Minkoff Fringe Clutch (gold, large) // My only impulse buy of September. It was 50% off. It was so worth it. I want to take it everywhere.

Yes, you can wear white after Labor Day - I've always broken this rule and I don't see why not!

My trick to wearing white in the cooler months? Pair it with rich colors and seasonal shoes. Keep a balance with how much white/skin you're showing - I loved the length of this shirt and the longer sleeves so that it was obvious I knew it wasn't summer anymore ;)  The color reminds me of changing leaves in the Fall. Peep-toe booties are also great for September and October when you know your toes won't be frozen. I'm not quite ready to put away a bright red pedicure or break out the closed toe heels! It's all about transitional pieces… this is such a weird time when it's chilly in the morning and then warm when you leave work. If I'm still sitting outside and taking off a jacket or sweater then you better believe I'm still wearing my white pants!

How do y'all feel about white pants after Labor Day? When do you finally put them on the highest shelf until next spring?

Love Always,

The Charleston photos are still coming folks. It was so much fun finding locations to take pictures and working with my talented friends (I only have one outfit left from the SBS Conference)… But at least THIS outfit post comes with a super fun part ;) a giveaway!
