I’m going to make a confession.
These photos were actually taken over the summer during my trip to LA but I wanted to save them until now because they basically scream fall! Am I right?! 
Yes, this outfit is probably a little more summer appropriate, especially if you live in Portland like me. But there are lots of other places around the world that are nice and sunny and warm, so this one is for you guys as well!
Throw a pair of ankle boots with this outfit and a cute denim jacket and you have a complete fall look as well.
Now that I got that off of my chest, I want to introduce you guys to a brand that is totally drool worthy….Side Party. I first found Side Party while browsing Lisa Says Gah and I instantly fell in love with their pieces. This wrap skirt was such a dream and could be worn countless ways. I think I might even pair it with a cropped sweater as the weather gets cooler and cooler. Isn’t the color so dreamy too?! They’re without a doubt a brand to check out…that rhymed 😉

Black Denim with Silver Jeans Co.

It’s so funny, but I still remember the first pair of black jeans I ever owned. Growing up, I was a tomboy and was involved in sports my entire life. Fashion wasn’t really a part of my world until I got into high school and became more aware of my personal style. When I first bought a pair of black jeans, I felt realllyyy rebelious for some reason. I had only ever worn classic blue jeans and having a black pair seemed like such a statement. Many years later, I don’t know what I would do without a classic pair of black jeans. They literally go with EVERYTHING and can be worn for casual day looks or for a night out. They instantly elevate an outfit and can make you look like you know what you’re doing when it comes to style. I love how comfortable these ones from Silver Jeans Co. are. They almost feel like leggings because they’re so soft and stretchy but I love that they don’t look like a jegging/legging, they just look like a classic pair of black jeans
Make sure and check out more of the great styles that Silver Jeans Co. has for fall! Their jean jackets are sooo good too. There’s just nothing like denim on denim this time of the year right?

Moorten Botanical Garden

Moorten Botanical Garden’s had been on my list of places I had been dying to go for many years. I don’t remember when or where I first saw a picture of it but I know that I was in love right then and there. It’s so funny seeing photos of things and then experiencing it for yourself. The actual greenhouse was a lot smaller than I had imagined but it definitely did not disappoint. The place was overflowing with lots of prickly cacti and SO hot. It was already around 120 in Palm Springs so it had to be at least 125 inside the greenhouse. We tried to stay and soak in as much as we could before darting outside to try and find some cooler shade.
All in all, this place was just as beautiful and magical as I hoped it wold be. I can’t wait to go back someday.
Just wearing another sandal, dress, and basket bag combo. Once I find an outfit I like, I just stick with it for awhile. And this one was the perfect summer uniform.
