It’s currently 3:40 pm and I’m sitting on the couch, blanket around me, Maggie by my side chewing on a treat and the movie Couples Retreat on the TV screen. Naturally I have coffee in my hand and my mind is deciding between if I should have a baby or a caramel apple sucker. In case you’re wondering, I decided on the sucker. The baby thing seemed a little difficult being that I’m home alone and all. 

It’s moments like this however that I can’t decide if I absolutely love being at home [like this is great right? so great] or if I hate it [because this is lonely right? like so lonely]. This is the exact reason why my husband quickly reminds me of these moments every time I mention that I want to be a full time stay at home wife [I mean blogger]. I think it’s actually the threat of me maybe wanting a child that scares him the most about me not leaving the house daily, but I digress. Now would be a good time for me to segway into that post I once promised entitled “so are you ever going to have kids?” however I think I’d rather talk about clothes. Priorities, you know? I’ll get back to that other stuff soon though, no worries. 

Onward, clothes. I am a big advocate of “shopping local” so to speak. Independently owned shops are my jam. Not only because are you supporting an individual rather than a big box store but you are purchasing items that not everybody and their mother will have nor are you are paying outrageous prices. Outrageous prices and I don’t get along well. I recently discovered Novelstyle Shop as they opened a couple of months ago by an Argentina born, US living lady. You can read more about Ileana and her story on her blog here. 

Novelstyle carries a variety of great brands and pieces that are sure to please. Here are a few favorite looks from Novelstyle that I’m loving for fall —
