Whoa, it's been a rough week. I've been in and out of feeling sick all week and can't seem to shake this. The good news it that the weather is finally consistently sweater-weather and being bundled up in public is now acceptable.

I tried two different fall trends in this look. Can you find them? One is the messy cuff. I've mentioned the cuff on my blog before and it wasn't until I went to the Fab'rik denim event, a few weeks ago, that I spoke with other bloggers about methods of cuffing. The messy cuff is made with 2-3 smaller cuffs where you rollup first and then roll halfway down. Here, winging it will work just fine  - but in case you were curious about the different types of cuffs, there is a great tutorial here!

Can you spot my other fall trend?

Happy Monday! I finally had a chance to get out of town and enjoy a day (and a half) at the beach. My favorite part? Well, we spent the morning playing in the waves, laying by the pool, and finally relaxing in the jacuzzi. Some afternoon showers cut out beach day short and we headed in around lunchtime to avoid the storms passing through. After a brief lunch and nap I woke up to a quiet condo and headed over to the wrap-around balcony with a blanket and a book. I finally made more progress reading "The Fault In Our Stars" than I had made in weeks at home. Watching the rain come down with a view of the beach was so serene, it was absolutely breathtaking!

Now it's counting down the days till the next vaca...
