Falling for Boston

With last week's warmer temperatures, I had one last chance to wear my fall clothes in Boston before pulling out my puffy, knee-length winter coat. I enjoyed the warmer weather by wearing my J. Crew Downtown Field Jacket. The change in weather was a nice surprise compared to earlier in the month. Although I am starting to get used to the cold temperatures, this California girl loves the warmer side of Boston.

To combat the fall breezes, I put on my Steve Madden leg warmers underneath my classic black leather boots. These provided me with a little extra warmth while adding a cute and stylish touch to my outfit. Leg warmers are a staple accessory to have, especially when the weather becomes chilly. I will continue to take advantage of my leg with the snowy weather that is coming to Boston. 

Nothing warms me up more in the cool weather like one of my favorite seasonal beverages- Starbuck's Pumpkin Spice Latte. The Pumpkin Spice Latte is the perfect combination of creamy and sweet with Starbuck's signature pumpkin spice syrup that packs a flavorful punch. If I'm looking for something a little sweeter, I order a Pumpkin Spice Steamer, not offered on the Starbucks menu. The Pumpkin Spice Steamer combines steamed milk with all of the same ingredients as the latte, just without the espresso.

Summer Stripes

With breezy fall weather just around the corner, I had one last chance to wear shorts before the end of summer. This past week, the weather has been beautiful here in Boston, so I decided it was the perfect opportunity to wear my new J. Crew shorts. These bright orange and white striped shorts add the perfect pop of color to make this outfit stand out. I paired them with a white ruffled top and braided leather flip flops, along with some braided accessories to match and a long silver necklace for some added shimmer. To top off the outfit, I painted my nails a bright blood orange color from Clinique that matched perfectly with the hue of the shorts.

One of my favorite drinks to cool off with during warm weather is Passion Tea Lemonade from Starbucks. It's floral flavor combined with the punch of lemon is very refreshing on sunny days. Sometimes I will ask the baristas to blend it if I feel like having a slushy or smoothie. 

The color of the Passion Tea Lemonade reminds me of my Fever Gloss by Lancôme. The Lacôme lip gloss, in the color Exuberant Rose, that I wore for this look went really well with the light, summer vibe of the shorts. I love Lancôme's lip gloss because they come in a wide variety of pigmented colors. With the tear shaped applicator, the gloss applies very smoothly and easily covers the entire lip.
