In the next couple of months, I’ll officially be ready to say good-bye to my twenty-something’s and welcome in a new decade. Lately, I’ve been thinking of ways to ring in a new era in my life, by changing my diet & exercising more. And while I have quite made an effort to head down to my local gym, I have taken on a task of changing my diet. I used to be the kind of girl that would skip meals – mainly breakfast and work a quick lunch & dinner in between my daily schedule.

The season has finally arrived, where we are almost ready to pack away our minimalistic summer garbs – and where we break out our favorite autumn pieces. Women have checked off on their autumn must buys, and I have been eagerly awaiting the “just ins” on this seasons military looks. I am definitely a fan of the army green persuasion! Give me a utility jacket, some boyfriend jeans, basic heather gray t-shirt, and some oxfords and I am ready to go. And while I still embody my tomboyish set, I‘ll gladly marvel at some of the super feminine military looks that many designers have made possible.
