Light Is More Important Than The Lantern

Light is more important than the lantern,
The poem more important than the notebook,
And the kiss more important than the lips.
My letters to you
Are greater and more important than both of us.
The are the only documents
Where people will discover
Your beauty
And my madness.

I Am The Shadow

I am the shadow you see beside you at night
The distorted, blackened version of yourself
Flickering in and out of alleyways
Not quite a person
Just the manifestation of all that you are trying to hide
Just the agony of being who you are
Everything you don't want the world to see
I am everything you don't want the world to see
Why are you afraid of me?
You run from me
But I am attached to you
We can never be separated
But through the noon sun's light, I can be you
And in total darkness you can be me
Which would you prefer?

Must Haves For Your Fall Wardrobe, check out girls !

It’s time to throw out my list of Fall wardrobe “Must Haves”. These are of course my ideas of what every girl should have this season. But if you like my blog, then you’ll love these too because they’re definitely all my style.
1. Feminine Blouse 
In my opinion, every woman should have a gorgeous feminine blouse in her closet for fall like the one featured below . Such an item can be paired with so many things from skirts to slacks and as you can see it works wonderfully with jeans as well too.
2. Neutral Long Cardigan
A neutral long cardigan is a must have in my opinion. With the weather getting cooler it’s a necessity to have layers handy, but this piece of clothing can be so fashionable too. Personally I’m really loving re-inventing my long cardigans from last season by belting them with several new skinny belts. Love!
3. Blazer
Every season can use a great blazer in your closet, but in Fall…blazers work exceedingly well. I love to throw on a blazer with a T-shirt underneath and jeans, like below, and top it off with a great scarf or statement necklace. How do you like to wear your blazer?
4. Belted T-Shirt
I’m so in love with the belting style this year….mainly because it means I can re-invent so many things already in my wardrobe all with the simple use of a belt. How awesome is that?
5. Maxi Skirt
The Maxi Skirt carries on from spring and summer now into Fall. And like most of you, I’m thrilled with the fact that it’s sticking around! So as the weather cools, wear it with tights and and boots underneath. And be sure to pair it with a belted T-shirt topped off with a blazer like pictured below. It’s FAB!
6. Polka Dots
Polka dots add a sense of class to any style, don’t you think. I mean seriously, who do you think of when you see polka dots? That’s right, major style icons from back in the day likeJacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Audrey Hepburn. But even current artists like Taylor Swiftare taking a cue from them nowadays. Which I think is great. Long live polka dots!
7. Over-sized Envelope Bag 
The over-sized envelope bag is hot, hot, hot right now. And why wouldn’t it be with how cute it looks to carry one, right?
8. Thin Belt
As mentioned before, I think the thin belt trend over just about anything is probably my favorite fashion “Must Have”. There are so many outfits I can change up with the simple use of a thin belt. I mean, look at it here with this white shirt, pink sweater and striped skirt. It just goes so beautifully, don’t you think? Love it!
9. Over-sized Scarf
Ahhh…the over-sized scarf is another style that’s been around for a while because we all love it so much. And truly, what’s not to love when you can bundle yourself up in something soft and cozy, yet still look impeccably stylish, right?
10. Belted Big Sweater
And here we are again with another belted item. See, there are so many articles of clothing you can use a thin belt to change. One of my favorites is to take a big sweater and belt it. Wear it with tights or skinny jeans and boots and you’ll be sportin’ miles of style!
11. Pea Coat
This pink Pea coat is probably the cutest one I’ve ever seen. But any color Pea coat is definitely on my list of “Must Haves” for Fall. I have a white one, but I’m thinking this pink one needs to be added ASAP!
12. Black Tights
Ah yes, black tights. A staple year round if you ask me. But I’ll definitely be wearing mine more now that it’s fall. Pair your tights with belted big sweaters and of course knee high riding boots or ankle boots and a cute Pea coat like this one.
13. Infinity Scarf
Again, as with the over-sized scarf, the infinity scarf is sticking around too. And I’m sure you’re with me on this, we’re lovin’ it!!!
14. Stripes
As with polka dots, stripes have a class associated with them that are usually in the upper regions. You think collegiate or sorority, don’t you? I think they’re pretty darn hot so don’t forget to add them to your look every now and then.
15. Leopard Print Flats
One of my favorite “Must Haves”, Leopard print flats. Ahh…they’re just so adorable. Pair them with tights, skinny jeans, slacks, skirts…you name it, these babies look awesome with whatever you wear them with!
16. Sweater Coat
If you ask The Hubby, he’d say I have way too many sweater coats. But I say, “When it comes to fashion, is there really ever TOO many of anything?” I think not. So, if you don’t have a sweater coat in your wardrobe, make sure to add one, or several ;-)
17. Riding Boots
Riding boots are a definite versatile “Must Have” for Fall and winter. There are so many outfits you can wear these little beauties with. Case in point, this great dress and sweater combo, which you can wear while still holding on to the warmer days of summer.
18. Skinny Crop Pant
Skinny crop pants are another favorite of mine. You can just wear them with so many things. But isn’t this outfit below just the cutest?
19. Sparkly Flat
And last but not least, the sparkly flat. In my opinion, the simple addition of any shoe that has pizzazz…one with a bright color, a bow, some jewels or a sparkly one like below, just takes an outfit one step higher in style. So make sure to add some sparkly flats to your wardrobe as well.
And there you have it, my list of “Must Haves” for Fall. Hope you’ve enjoyed some eye candy and are inspired to add all or some of these beautiful and fun pieces to your wardrobe as well.
Thanks for stopping by!
Love XOXO
