New Balance

Hey guys! Long time no talk. Long story short, our camera was stolen and I had to get my hands on a temporary camera. Anyways, I couldn't wait to share these new kicks with you guys! I've had my eyes on these New Balances since the beginning of August and finally found them in my local J. Crew. I think they're the perfect fall sneakers, I have been obsessed with anything maroon-burgundy colored! We've been experiencing warmer weather (it cooled down, then got hot again - KC weather for you!) so I paired the shoes with a simple white button down and black shorts.

Embellished

I almost passed out when I found this tank in the Zara sale rack for $9.99! Although it's missing a few beads, I still snagged it the second I saw it! I adore this top because it makes any outfit stand out immediately. It's a more masculine cut with feminine detail! I paired this tank with my favorite jean shorts and Birkenstocks, along with my Nordstrom Junior - Celine look a likes! This was the perfect Sunday brunch look!

Recent Illustrations

Today I wanted to share some of the recent fashion illustrations I have done lately! 

#1 - @vivid on Instagram

#2 - @weworewhat she is definitely one of my favorite fashion bloggers of all time! I am still obsessed with the perfect simplicity of the look I painted.

#3 - @haleycarrere in honor of fall, I was so excited to paint this look! I adore her whole account (and blog!) 

#4 - DEFINITELY the most exciting of them all!!!!! I absolutely could not get over @happilygrey's look for NYFW. Last night, she reposted my photo, and I was shocked. Honestly, I am still shocked as I write this blog post the next morning... 

Be sure to check out my Instagram account @anniedreyer to see all of my paintings before I post them up here!

Autumn Comfort

This outfit is honestly the comfiest thing that I have worn since the temperatures have started to cool down. When I saw it was going to be 55 degrees, I automatically grabbed my favorite and coziest cable knit sweater from last year. FYI - those orange dots are a part of the sweater, not a stain! In addition, I finally got to wear these Madewell jeans I snagged on sale! They are perfectly distressed at the knees and ankles, and they feel like PJ pants. Perfection. Also, I was finally able to wear my Birks with jeans, which I have been waiting to do for awhile now...

NYFW Street Style

I am soooo incredibly jealous of all of the other fashion bloggers that were out in NYC this past week and their amazing posts about their "street style"! To express my envy, I decided to do a post on what I would wear if I ever have the opportunity to be in NYC during fashion week! My ripped jean shorts seemed like the obvious choice, paired with a J.Crew white polka dot tuxedo shirt, black slip-ons, Raybans, and my tote! This is such a simple look, and I decided a wavy and messy half bun was definitely the way to go hair-wise!

stone + cloth

I am constantly discovering amazing small companies like stone + cloth on Instagram! Their backpacks are all so cool, and I am still trying to decide on which one to buy. Plus, it's all for a great cause - to provide scholarships for those in need! Let me know which one is your favorite! Check them out on their website!

Summer Color

Even though it's September, I am still cramming in some last minute summery looks, and it's not too often that I have such a colorful outfit on as this one!  This was the perfect outfit - vibrant, comfy, and casual! White Converse always complete an outfit perfectly, and with this hot pink racerback tank and printed shorts, they added a laid-back feeling. 

Tank: Forever 21

Shorts: Ecote Urban Outfitters

Menswear

There seems to be a recurring theme of Madewell shirts and ripped jeans. I love this shirt - its pattern, fit, and pockets. I think they were going for a floral-pattern on this menswear inspired button down. Once again, I paired a rather nice silk shirt with my all-time favorite ripped jeans and some gold sandals and necklace!
