Happy Wednesday loves!

October has arrived, and my boyfriend and I are traveling Europe for the next couple of weeks, so I figured now is the perfect time to share with you all my favorite travel outfit for fall! I am currently writing this blog post on a train here in Austria, and the views are breathtaking to say the least. The leaves decorating the trees along the Alps are various shades of yellow, orange and red, which immediately puts me in the fall spirit, which I suppose isn't that hard to do. It is my favorite season, after all! So enough of my rambling, let me share with you all my go to travel outfit for fall!

First thing's first, as far as packing is concerned, do try to pack light! My current suitcase is way too heavy and my poor boyfriend has been stuck with the annoying task of lifting both of our bags up and down the stairs (bless him). When traveling to a new place, you never know how many cobblestoned roads or lengthy stairwells (four flights to be exact) you are going to encounter. Do yourself a favor and pack as light as possible, and be sure to pack items that you can easily mix and match to create new looks! 

I always find that fall weather can be unpredictable, but a nice sweater will never fail you when the weather gets crisp! Airplane temperatures can also be dicey, so I wanted to make sure that I wore something both warm, but not too warm, and comfortable for my 8 1/2 hour flight. I chose to wear this gorgeous mauve sweater  from Shop The Mint, which is the perfect cute and cozy outfit to travel in during the fall season! I paired it with a pair of stretchy skinny jeans from Gap, which are comfortable and cute, but it would also look really cute with a pair of leggings if you prefer an even comfier option for traveling. To finish off the look, I put on a pair of low heel ankle booties that are comfortable for walking long distances. We have not stopped walking since we arrived, so comfortable shoes are a must! I also packed these white leather sneakers, which are honestly probably the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned. The cushioned memory foam sole has been a lifesaver for my feet! Happy feet means more walking, which means more sightseeing and more chocolate. ;)

I hope you all have enjoyed this post on my fall travel outfit. Also, if you sign up for emails from The Mint Julep Boutique you will receive $10 off your first order! I don't know about you, but I am all about those coupons!

Be sure to come back soon to check out my travel diaries from Austria and Switzerland!

We have gotten a taste of fall the past several days in the Carolinas, which has me lighting candles, running to Starbucks (who doesn't love a PSL?) and pulling out my sweaters and cardigans! Cozy cardis are perfect for the fall season, and this cute cardi from Magnolia Boutique is my new favorite! I am not exaggerating when I say that it feels like you are wearing an exceptionally soft blanket, so I know I will be getting a lot of use out of it not only for going out on crisp, fall days, but also for lounging around at home. 

I styled my cardi with this Leopard Satin Cami (under $20) and these affordable black skinny jeans, which pair nicely with black ankle booties. What I love about this outfit combo is how easy it is to just throw on while still managing to look cute! Layering a cardi over a cami or a basic tee is the perfect way to stay warm and cozy on those chilly fall mornings, and you can easily take off the cardi and still have a cute outfit on if your fall day starts to warm up - layering is key! I also styled this look with a bag from Kate Spade. This particular style of the bag is currently sold out, but I am linking two other bags (here and here) from Kate Spade in the exact same color. Let me tell you, the color of this bag is even more gorgeous in person, and it is the perfect shade of mauve for fall! 

Are you all as obssesed with cozy cardis as I am? Leave me a comment down below telling me your favorite look for fall!

Black Slip Dress // Heels, they also come in Black // Clutch, similar here

Happy Wednesday Lovelies! Even though we are only halfway through the week, I wanted to give you some outfit inspiration for a date night look this weekend! Even if you don't have a hot date, do not sweat! This simple and chic date night look would also be perfect for a night out with the girls!

Sometimes it is difficult to know what to wear on a date night! There is always the pressure of dressing up too much, or simply not dressing up enough. I know that when I first started dating I would frantically search my closet for the perfect outfit, and nothing ever seemed just right! I am here to tell you that I have learned that a classic black dress is an easy and perfect look for a date night. This satin slip dress is sexy, yet classy, as it shows a little bit of skin, but doesn't reveal too much! The v-neck is flattering, and the midi length is very much on trend this season! 

This particular dress from Two Feathers has side slits which gives the dress movement while also showing a little bit of leg! It is still warm here in Charlotte, so I wore the dress on it's own, but it would also look gorgeous with a chic trench coat, or with a simple sweater and mules for a more casual fall look. For my date night look, I paired it with these heels that are the perfect dupes for the Valentino Rockstud heels. These shoes are constantly selling out, but keep checking back because they always come back in stock! I sadly checked their website daily until my size came back in stock, but let me tell you, it was worth it! 



Would you wear this look on a date night? Leave me a comment down below telling me your favorite date night look!
