Call me trendy (lol), but I love coming across details that cross over from interior design to fashion. Today it’s all about the bumble bee. If you’re like me, you’re terrified of the little buggers (and will scream at the sight), but that doesn’t mean you can’t love them as a style detail.

I don’t know about you, but I’m so excited that Fall has finally arrived! Don’t get me wrong, I love summer, but there’s something so exciting about Fall… crisp sweater weather (and for LA that means anything below 75º), picking out my little girl’s Halloween costume, looking forward to Thanksgiving stuffing and, of course, proof that Christmas (my absolute favorite holiday) is just around the corner.

So today, I decided to share 6 of my favorite things about Fall, and the reasons that I “fall” in love with this season every year ♥

What are your favorite things about Fall? Feel free to leave a comment to share.

Did you know that today is officially Denim Day?!? No really, everyone has an excuse to wear jeans to work today.

Denim Day was started by the non-profit organization, Peace Over Violence, in protest of sexual violence against women. It’s such an important cause which is why today’s post is all about denim.

Here to prove that denim can be chic, here are some examples of denim done right.
