TRENDING // Tartan.

It seems as though tartan-patterned garments are taking over the fashion world. Can you really blame anyone for giving-in in to the trend? The answer to that ladies and gentlemen would be no. It's probably the only print that has yet to be overused by every living and breathing creature on earth (even thought I'm pretty sure i's not far from that). If you needed any proof that the 90's are making a comeback- here you go.

I think my favorite thing about tartan is how versatile it can be. You can wear it during any season. The print in pastels is perfect for spring/summer, yet the same exact one in colors like burgundy and grey is a must have in your fall/winter wardrobe. In addition to that, fall's biggest trend can accommodate any style- whether you're feeling casual in the morning or the 90's grunge before you go out in the evening. I say, you can't ask for more than that. You can easily obtain this style with one essential: a tartan-patterned pant. A simple t-shirt and converse can take you through the day. With a pair of your favorite stilettos and an oversized coat, you're ready for a night out. 

What do you think about this trend?

Will you be wearing it this season?

Fall Essentials + October Playlist.

It's not exactly fall yet here is Israel, but I've managed to wear a jacket a couple times. Fingers crossed it gets cold soon!

Anyway, I've decided to gather a few of my favorite items for the chilly season.

1. Denim Jacket.

This is basically a life essential, but wearing it during summer is not exactly possible (unless you don't mind it if your liver melts). A denim jacket is a classic piece and every closet should be a home to one. It's a great way to layer- best thing about fall fashion! You can wear it over a top, and a coat- if it's really cold- on top of that.

Sorry for the blurry photo! I'll take a new one ASAP.




2. Oversized Sweater.
Sweaters are the best companions to a cozy day, while watching your favorite movie and drinking a couple (or few) cups of hot coco. They are also a versatile piece- you can go from a lazy day at home to an evening outfit for a perfect girls' night out! It's pretty simple as well: take out your favorite jeans, pair them with some glamorous booties or heels and add a chunky necklace as a final touch. 

Sweater from H&M Basic.

3. Bustier-Inspired Top.

This is a love-hate item: some people can't get enough, others can't get away. I'm probably on "can't get enough" team- especially for fall! Juts like the denim jacket, this is another great layering piece! 

4. Bowler Hat.

I feel very British whenever I wear it. It's a piece that can complete any attire, and it's a great accessory for all you lazy people (including yours truly) that simply can't be bothered in the morning to fix their hair. 

5. Little Black Booties.

Just like the classic LBD, little black booties are an essential in each and every closet. You can wear these with your best casual attire one day, and pair them with a dress and clutch the next!

6. Spiked Headband.

You may recognize this for my last couple posts. I'm completely obsessed with it! It's a perfect touch to a casual outfit on a lazy day (aka everyday)!

7. Scarves.

Another great item for layerig. Yes, I am aware of the fact that the scarf I chose is leaning more towards the spring cult, but I just can't not wear it during every fall/winter for the past 3 years! It's brightens up my outfits, and quiet freckly- my mood as well. Expect to see it in upcoming outfits!

And now- my playlist for the month of October! I know I'm a little late, but I just now realized it mid-October. Time flies by pretty fast.

OUTFIT // The Love Club.

#1 rule of being a teenager (apparently): procrastinate whenever possible. I'm a pro. I practically live by the motto "why do something now, when you can do it tomorrow?". Perfect logic, huh?

As of right now, the only thing I'm looking forward to is Hanukkah break. The time of year will be perfect enough to cuddle with Charlie (aka my cat), drink hot coco and watch terribly cheesy movies. I really want time to go by fast, because honestly- school right now is just not great. I mean the amount of homework and exams is practically unbelievable and I'm just not willing to go through that right now. However, the more I think about it, the weirder it gets that I only have 2 Hanukkah breaks left in school (this year's, and senior year), and OMG- senior year of high school. it's closer than ever, and even though I'm just a junior right now, I've been told this year goes by pretty fast. 

Let me know what you think about my outfit in the comments below!
