I'm having a tiny bit of a dilemma. 

Every photo has been somehow deleted from my Blogger account.

Meaning all of the content I have is now little grey minus signs. My whole blog is little grey minus signs. 

Now I have to go salvage what I have left on my computer and re-upload them, and steal some photos from my Lookbook.

I'm also deleting any content that I can't salvage, meaning my earlier posts may be discarded into oblivion.

Woe is me.

But, instead of complaining and crying about--which I came entirely way too close to--

So, I ask you all to bear with me for a a day or two until I can get this whole ordeal dealt with!

Much love, 

Katie.

Wear something...black.


Yes, I'm a huge American Horror Story fan, and Coven is the best season yet, and we're only on episode 3. Jessica Lange is what I aspire to be: a bad ass.

Brr! It's so cold out! And, I'm already a little under the weather, so I don't really want to venture outside in the cold and get even more sick.

Oui Oui.


Obviously, I feel French because of the beret, but I'm not even the slightest bit French. I'm not even really into France or Paris. I'm a London kind of gal.

Goooooooooood afternoon!

I told you you'd see this jacket again, it's love.

Hello!
This jacket is ultimate perfection epitomized. It's the army jacket I've been looking for for months. FOR MONTHS. And, I found one and I'm just so happy that I can ignore the $15 thrift store price tag.

Happy Thursday, all! It's almost Friday, so hang in there, the weekend is almost here. 

Making the Effort

Making the effort every day has been on my mind lately. It's fall, the typical time for dressing up. Fashion Month opens the floodgates to trendy people. And while, life may have other things in store for you: unusually warm October, working at home, not working at all... etc, making an effort still matters. Yesterday I was just talking about how making an effort doesn't have to be too much work. It's just a matter of planning things a little. That's what the links this week tell me, they peek into trends for next year, they organize the trends this year, and give a little inspiration for the upcoming holiday we all love: Halloween!

Hello!

Dreary Sundays are the worst. I love the look of them from the outside, but being in them is the worst.
It dropped from 75 to 55 in a matter of hours. For you Celsius babes out there, it's now 13 outside. Which isn't cold, but it was a drastic change. But, it means I can actually wear layers and not burn!
But the rain means I'm stuck inside.

Styling can be difficult, especially when it comes to trendy pieces. How to style, also known as how I style, is a chance for me to pick a trend and style it using Polyvore to help you.

Fall is now officially upon us and one of the biggest trends for fall is the use of plaid.
Plaid is pattern that consists of horizontal bands of two or more colors overlapping vertical bands of two or more colors. The bands can vary in size and color, making plaid a pattern that is versatile.

Happy October!

October is one month closer to November, which is the moth before December! Oh how time flies.
The weather is absolutely dreary out. It's windy and rainy, so the rain slaps you in the face when you least expect it. But, the temps are chilly and wonderful so you win some, you lose some.
