Borrow From the Boys

As much as we try to ignore it, fall is quickly approaching us. Although my summer has been amazing, I have to admit I am looking forward to fall because I love the clothes. One trend that I am definitely going to incorporate into my wardrobe this season is the chic sweatshirt. Graphic sweatshirts are not just for the boys anymore. You can find celebs like Rihanna and Cassie pairing theirs with chic skirts and pretty makeup.

Trillectro

My friends over at DC to BC put on an awesome hip-hop/electronica music festival this past weekend in D.C. called Trillectro.The turn out was amazing, especially since this was the first event of its kind in the city. It was a great time for me to catch up with friends from college and hear some new artists.

Mix Well. Madewell.

Those who read this blog can probably tell two things about me. Number one: Madewell is my favorite store. Number two: Solange Knowles is one of my favorite fashionistas. So in my eyes Madewell's new pick for their Fall 2012 catalog is pretty much a gift from the heavens.

Frankford Hall

This past weekend I celebrated my friend's birthday in Philadelphia. We went to a cute bar/restaurant called Frankford Hall that has a fun outdoor seating area where you can play games like Jenga and ping-pong.

For the occasion, I opted for a casual yet chic black outfit. I mixed patterns and textures for a more interesting look and broke up the pieces with a neon yellow belt.
