Ok, so after I passionately shared how I didn't want to promote (large, corporate) brands on my blog when talking about style and fashion, I realized there would have to be a caveat when talking about style as a part of seasonal transitions because most of what I post is pulled from websites and not my own pictures. Unless I purchase all of what I'm talking about, there's really no way to avoid it. With fall coming up very soon, here's a list of some things I'm feeling for the upcoming season.

1. Asymmetrical earrings: This trend kind of has a tendency to come and go, and often sticks with small, delicate earrings (liked a moon and star). However, I love the idea of taking it one step further and having mismatched large(r) earrings.

2. Padded headbands: It's been 11 years since Gossip Girl first aired, about 8 years since I got over my subsequent headband phase, and now just a few months since I've rediscovered my love for them. Velvet padded headbands are a stylish way a la Blair Waldorf to herald in the cooler weather.

3. Giant gems: This really speaks for itself. The more colorful, the better.

4. Multicolor baguette rings: If too much color is too much for you, single colored baguette rings have their own elegance to them. Stacking single colored rings also makes for a statement piece. Etsy has a pretty sizable selection of handmade and/or vintage ones.

5. A good, structured blazer: One of the most difficult things to find in terms of finding one that fits well, has a nice pattern, and isn't more than a quarter of your month's rent. The more it looks like it was something your dad wore in the 70's, the better. Preferably more browns than blacks/grey. Bonus points for elbow patches. Double bonus points times infinity if it's actually your dad's blazer from the 70's that you had tailored to fit you.

What are you feeling for fall 2018? (she echoed into the void that is her blog's comment section)

what i'm feeling for: fall 2018

After taking the ferry back from Hvar to Split, the plan was to drive from Split to Dubrovnik for the last city on our list (kind of). I had added Mostar in Bosnia as a maybe on our list if we had the time and weren't super tired. We didn't have the time, were super tired, but still decided to make a pit stop in Mostar, and it was one of the best spontaneous decisions of the trip (minus the incredibly scary drive down the mountains in Bosnia to Dubrovnik, but more on that ahead).
