Fall Lookbook 2014

Hi everyone! The weather in NYC is dropping like crazy, so I've decided to finally wrap up my Fall series with one last lookbook before Winter comes and takes over! I recently bought a new camera which means I'll be posting a lot more often, yay! For today's post, I put together 3 simple looks to give you all a little inspiration for the final days of this season. Check out the video below to see where I got all these pieces from and as always, let me know which look is your favorite!

Thank you all for reading! In the comments below, let me know what types of videos/posts you'd like to see me do in the future. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
