Fall time here at OSU is so inspiring. The gorgeous leaves only last for a short while before they fall to the ground and clutter the roads and sidewalks with leaf mush so you have to enjoy them for the short while, while you still can.
When I first visited campus in October of my senior year in High School all the leaves were bright red. Coming from somewhere that doesn’t get seasons it was really amazing to see such vibrant colors being expressed through leaves. I think this was one of the many contributing factors that made me chose to attend OSU. I hope these pictures inspire you as much as they inspire me!
Side Note: A couple of you have expressed the desire to learn how to create the necklaces my friends and I worked on last weekend in the Stitch and Bitch post. I will happily work on getting together a tutorial post so you too can create such lovely pieces of art.

A great way to continue your summer clothes into fall and winter is by layering. I have a billion of these long sleeve Old Navy t-shirts in every color imaginable. They work great for layering underneath things and help keep me warm on these frigid fall days.

This past weekend Creative Crafts was having a HUGE sale on beads, buy one get TWO free! Of course we had to capitalize on such a great deal and it gave us a great opportunity for my friend Amanda to teach us how to make necklaces. We spent all day Saturday crowded around this tiny table watching the entire first season of Project Runway just stitching away at our creations.
These are a couple samples that Amanda had already made. It was great to have a guide to go off of for the amateur beaders like myself and my friend Sam.
And here our are lovely creations. Unfortunately, I can’t share with you the one I completed because I am going to give it to my sister for Christmas and I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but here are Amanda and Sam’s creations for you to ogle over.

August Bradley’s Fashion photography has me instantly inspired. It always takes me so long to find fashion editorials that I jump out at me, and after google searching for over an hour I finally stumbled acorss this man’s amazing work. His photos jump off the page and display such a fun unique style. I hope you enjoy his photos as much as I do!

Stripes, Ruffles, and Sequins. This outfit contains all things fun and girly but even has some menswear inspiration in it.
I put together this look because I was going to a meeting with a counselor in my department regarding my resume. I decided I would dress up a little bit and look semi-professional. Even though this is an extremely casual version of work-wear I still thought it expressed my style point of view and still let me be taken seriously.

I love these patterned tights. They instantly add visual interest to any outfit I am wearing. I need to figure out more ways to incorporate them in my wardrobe, because honestly aren’t they killer? I also have a pair of black and gray checked tights that were my all time favorite last winter, I think these are going to be my new winter tights!
