1. Best Ballet Flats I have yet to find a pair of ballet flats that I like. They're all either too narrow, give me that weird toe cleavage, or just aren't comfortable to walk in. I definitely need to invest ASAP because my printed loafers and boots aren't going to be sufficient footwear for fall!

2. Office Inspiration Right now I'm living off of desk inspiration, but who knows, maybe one day I'll have a massive office of my own...if anything, they're still nice to look at!

3. Power Pants I'm doing myself a huge disservice by not trying on a pair of culottes once and for all. I had a jumpsuit over the summer that I ended up returning that had culotte style bottoms, but it just wasn't the right fit for me. Maybe I need to try a proper pant to get the real feel for the length and style? Regardless, I think they're incredible and I'd kill for a nice pair.

4. Four Bold Fall Lips By now it's pretty clear that bold lipstick is a necessity in my everyday makeup routine. I just feel incomplete without lipstick on, if I'm being honest. These are such fun colors for those days when you don't want to wear a dark dark lip as well!

5. Arguing With Myself My biggest arguments with myself are usually regarding my style (am I classic? Girly? Chic? Do I have a style?) or introversion with extroversion. I can never tell where I lie on these certain spectrums and I'm constantly at war with myself trying to sort it out. 

6. The Importance of Downtime I have no issues hanging out with people or keeping myself busy, but somewhere between all of that hustle and bustle I need time for myself to recharge and just read blogs or write a bit or even scroll through Tumblr or Pinterest. It's really important for me to do things for myself in a little bit of downtime. I go a bit crazy if I don't have at least an hour to myself every day.

7. Welcome to my Crib // Room Tour O H M Y G O D. That's honestly all I can say. This is quite possibly the most gorgeous and perfect room I have seen in my entire life and I'm not quite sure how to react. I genuinely think I might need every single thing pictured in this post.
