<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">While it may be spring, I can't help but look forward to all the fall fashion shows! It's hard to believe I will be starting college in the fall, but it's the perfect opportunity for me to re-invent myself (style-wise). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">#1. Red Topshop Blazer</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I already own this blazer and I know it's going to be a well-worn piece in the fall. The thing I love about it is not only the color, but it's actually quite universal. I can wear it with jeans and boots, a pair of jean shorts and ankle boots, or even a nice pair of wax black skinnies and wedge trainers. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">#2. Burberry Sunglasses</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I know that fall isn't the most popular time to wear sunglasses, but what dresses up a lazy day outfit more than a pair of designer sunglasses! I can wear them any season, and they look great with a beanie for those days when the snow has fallen and for some odd reason somehow it's sunny. It's Washington, what do you expect? The weather here is so beyond random. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">#3. Studded Buckle Ankle Boots</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Okay, I don't even know where to begin with how cute these really are! These may not be so popular in the U.S. right now, but they are going to be, and I <i>will</i> have them when that time comes. These paired with black skinnies and a moto jacket would be indescribable. Gah, I just love them!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">#4. Celine Inspired Chain Necklace</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Let's be honest here. I do not have $3500 to spare on a chain necklace, but I do have $10 + shipping for a similar necklace off <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/126850031/chunky-gold-chain-necklace?ref=usr_faveitems" target="_blank">Etsy</a>. This necklace has, and will, look great with anything. It looks good with a t-shirt, your favorite little black dress, sweaters, you name it- it looks great with it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">#5. Valentino Bow Tote</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">What I love about this tote is the fact that it's cute, and kind of out there with the bow, but plain enough to go with almost anything. I could see myself carrying this wearing boots and a blazer, a cute black dress and nude heels, or to work in trousers and a blazer. It's cute, will go with anything, and will fit a decent amount of stuff too!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So there you have it! My list of my favorite fall items! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For me my morning is complete without looking through my favorite blogs. I have this obsession with UK fashion/style so I usually spend a lot of time on those. Here are some of my favorites:</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This is one of my absolute favorites because her style is so cute and edgy, I just love it.

I always check her blog if I want any beauty or fashion advice. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This blog, run by 9 different women, is so fun!

They have a little bit of everything so far- cute DIY's, inspirational messages, hairstyle tips, fashion advice. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I found Daniela on Lookbook about a month ago. Her outfit posts are awesome and great for inspiration. She has style that anyone can relate to. She has posts were she shows three different outfits based around a single piece (like a cute top, color skinny jeans, or shoes). </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Yesterday I headed to the airport to pick up my sister at 3am. Yes, 3 <i>AM</i>. Her flight from Newark, NJ was originally supposed to land at around 10pm, but it was delayed 5 hours from snow. I decided there was no point in wasting an opportunity to wear my new Joie fur vest or hat, so I wore both. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I will say one thing, a 5'11 girl + 3inch wedge booties at an airport at 3am is a sure fire way to draw attention to yourself. I am not one who <i>usually </i>likes to draw attention to myself, I just like to dress nice. (</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Apparently I didn't get the memo that wearing sweatpants and stained t-shirts while traveling is acceptable!)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have been watching a lot of the Rachel Zoe Project, and I loved all of her looks with hats, and since it was 3am and cold, I decided to wear an outfit inspired by some of her fall looks! So I wore a color block sweater I got from Nordstrom Rack with my fur vest. I normally would wear a black skinny pant but I couldn't find them, so I settled for leggings with thick wool socks in my booties. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My purse, a gift from my mother, is Burberry (similar to the one in the link). It's really interesting because of the texture. It is a gunmetal color with patent handles, but the majority of the bag is a </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">scale-like texture. I have not yet seen anyone carrying a similar bag or found the exact model online, so I'm secretly hoping it might be rare!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Today my sister arrives back from the USA Water Polo ODP Regional Championships. She spent the weekend in Ohio competing against some of the top players in East/West divisions for a chance to try out for the Junior National team. Before I gab more, let me give you some background on my sister the tryout process.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My sister and I have been playing water polo for about 4 years now. We began our freshman year in high school and managed to join an elite club team in the PNW by my sophomore year. There we trained 10 hours a week + games + 10 hours of swim practice. By our junior year we knew that we wanted to at least consider the idea of playing water polo in college so we made a list of dream schools and "attainable" schools. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Being a polo player from the North is tough. There aren't a lot of teams, the sport isn't nearly as popular as it is in southern California, and high school teams are <i>there</i>, the coaches just don't want to be. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So my sister and I made the best and added more training. During our high school season we were practicing more than 6 hours a day (2hrs h.s. + 2hrs club swim + 2hrs club polo), <i>plus</i> weekend tournaments and weight lifting. Our season went really well (I was named the state Defensive MVP and she set a scoring record for the state of <b>148 season goals</b>!). We got the attention of a few schools, but most importantly, Long Beach State. From there my sister and I kept in touch with the LBSU coach. I realized about mid-August that I no longer had the same goals and made the tough decision not to sign with my sister to play at Long Beach. It was tough, I beat myself up for the decision for a long time, wondering <i>Did I make the wrong decision? What if I change my mind? Are my parents going to be mad at me?</i> But in the end, I'm glad I made the decision. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Fast forward about 5 months. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My sister tried out for the Regional Olympic Development Program team and was selected along with about 12 others to train for another tryout in 3 months. My sister, again, was chosen to continue on and play with the official PNW A Team at the Regional Championships this weekend. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I didn't get to fly out and watch her, which is hard! She and I do everything together! So when she called and told my mother she hadn't been selected to continue, my heart broke a little. But then moments later she texted me saying she <i>had </i>been selected, she just wanted to surprise my mother! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So I am so very proud of her, and I can't wait for her to fly out to Colorado Springs to the Olympic Training Center where she will get to tryout to have a spot on the Junior National Team!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Unfortunately with all the excitement comes the reality. In order for her to attend she has to raise $1000 for USA Water Polo, so if anyone is reading this and wants to make a donation, I would be so thankful. Here is the<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"> <a href="https://secure.usawaterpolo.org/victory/e/klarrea">link</a></span> to her donation page!</span></div>
