Fashion Under $50: Pantone's Fall 2016 Fashion Color Report
Pantone

Every year, I look forward to Pantone Color Report for each season. I love brainstorming different outfit combinations, with both new and old pieces! Here, I've put together an outfit for each of the colors in the Fall 2016 report, along with where to find each piece. The best part is, each piece I've selected can be bought for under $50. Let your creativity run free, and get inspired!

Riverside

A great use of Riverside can be found in this extremely versatile denim skirt, that can be dressed for both warmer and cooler Fall days. The Pantone Color Report describes this color as being vibrant yet sophisticated, and exciting yet constant. This trendy take on a classic piece represents just what the color is meant to embody.

In this set:

Mid Wash Denim Mini Skirt at MISS SELFRIDGE, $26

Stripe Funnel Neck Top at TOPSHOP, $28

Ruched Contrast-Tab Riding Boots at CHARLOTTE RUSSE, $3.49

Faux Stone Statement Necklace at FOREVER 21, $19.90

Airy Blue


This blue sweater is perfect for the cooler days of Fall. The look featured here is comfy (who doesn't love sweaters and leggings during the fall?!) yet chic because of the pairing with the taupe ankle boot, a color that is also featured in the report. You don't have to sacrifice style for comfort!

In this set:

Pockets Solid Long Sleeve Cardigan at ZAFUL, $31.99

Aerie Chill Legging in True Black at AMERICAN EAGLE, $15.95

Chi Tank at ATHLETA, $39

Bamboo Ankle Wrap Booties at CHARLOTTE RUSSE, $20

Sharkskin


A perfect use of the neutral gray tone that the "rest of the palette can literally and theoretically rest on" is this leather handbag. While a blush pink is not a color of the report, Sharkskin grounds the rest of the look and makes it Fall-appropriate. A handbag like this is a great way to carry over some of last season's pieces!

In this set:

Grey Pebbled Faux Leather Tote Bag With Strap at ROMWE, $9.99

Luann Rib Turtle Neck Crop Top at WEARALL, $13.95

Skinny Regular Ankle Jeans at H&M, $19.99

Big Size Suede Candy Color Pure Color Pointed Toe Light Slip On Flat Shoes at NEW CHIC, $9.92

Catalina Necklace Set at CHARMING CHARLIE, $14

Aurora Red

This stunning red is more wearable than you think! This set can be taken from the warmer to cooler days by tying the flannel around your waist in early Fall, and using it for its warmth later in the season. The red Vans sneakers are a classic yet exciting piece that can change any ensemble. Also, as we all know, 2016 is the Year of the Lip. A bold red lip can instantly dress anything up! Wear these pieces separately, or all together.

In this set:

Flannel Shirt at H&M, $19.99

Vans Authentic Sneaker at Nordstrom, $49.95

Lip Gloss in Socialite at Anastasia Beverly Hills, $16

Short Camisole Top at H&M, $2.99

Girlfriend Jeans at H&M, $39.99

Warm Taupe

Take your favorite lace-up nude heels and transform them into flats for both a casual and sophisticated look! I love pairing these with other neutrals, especially ones that I already have (notice the H&M jeans from the last set are reused here)! Pair them with some metallic jewelry for a bit of shine.

In this set:

Rialto Sondra Lace-Up Flats at MACY'S, $45

Pave Slim Band Watch at Aeropostale, $12

Simply Vera Vera Wang Pink Flower Stud Earrings at KOHL'S, $7

Girlfriend Jeans at H&M, $39.99

Black Lace Bardot Top at RIVER ISLAND, $50

Dusty Cedar

The warm tones of Dusty Cedar make it the perfect shade for a chunky scarf to last the season. Pairing it with a tighter, neutral dress adds a healthy balance to the look. This color can also be found as a very attractive lip shade, and in rose gold jewelry. Notice the suede boots reused from the Riverside set!

In this set:

Heavy Knit Triangle Infinity Scarf at LUXURY DIVAS, $15.49

MAC Satin Lipstick in Brave at SIMPLY BE, $18

Rose Gold-Tone Watch And Bracelet Set at CENTURY 21, $22.99

Ruched Contrast-Tab Riding Boots at CHARLOTTE RUSSE, $3.49

Petite Roxy Cap Sleeve Mini Bodycon Dress at BOOHOO, $10

Lush Meadow

Lush Meadow is reminiscent of the emerald jewel-tone, and is the perfect way to transition your LBD for Fall! Bring the color through in accessories or makeup. Having hazel eyes, I love how a cat-eye reinvented with green liner makes my eyes pop!

In this set:Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner in Emerald at

BEAUTY.COM, $22

Nails Inc Nail Polish in Alexa Camo at NET-A-PORTER, $16.99

Kate Spade New York Mini Pendant Necklace at LORD AND TAYLOR, $19.19

Billini Emilia Heel in Emerald Croc at SURFSTITCH, $20.73

Cross Strap Mini Dress at NELLY.COM, $36

Spicy Mustard


This is a very exciting color that works wonderfully when paired with the right staples! By reusing the denim skirt featured in the Riverside set and adding in some stable brown pieces, the unexpected tone of this tee really pops. My sister just bought this exact tee, and I just bought the wedges featured here. They are both insanely comfortable and cute!

In this set:

AEO Burnout Tomgirl Tee at American Eagle, $9.97

Women's Signature Braided Belt at LL Bean, $49

Blowfish Hiki at ZAPPOS, $52.99

Braided Chain Strap Wrap Watch at CHARLOTTE RUSSE, $5

Mid Wash Denim Mini Skirt at MISS SELFRIDGE, $26

Potter's Clay

This lacy top paired with the matching flats is perfect for Fall! The blue of the denim vest is complimentary to the orange tone of the top and flats. Trust me, a denim vest like this is a piece you will reuse again and again throughout fall and spring! In the colder Fall moths, swap out the denim vest for a denim jacket to get the same look. Pair with either the same leggings from the Airy Blue set, or the black jeans from the Sharkskin set to dress the look down or up. The Accessories add just the right amount of sparkle to this otherwise rustic-toned look.

In this set:

Rust Crochet Scallop Hem Sleeveless Top at NEW LOOK, $13

Report Milez Flat in Congac at Aeropostale, $35

Factory Destructed Denim Vest at GAP FACTORY, $42.99

Kate Spade New York Mini Small Square Semiprecious Stone Stud Earrings in Rose Quartz/Rose Gold at NORDSTROM, $38

Roxy Lux Statement Collar Necklace at ACCESSORIZE, $48.50

Aerie Chill Legging in True Black at AMERICAN EAGLE, $15.95

Bodacious

This vibrant, unexpected Fall color is perfect for a night out in the Fall! A flowing and flirty pinkish-purple works well with the long, sleek lines of the H&M jeans seen earlier in the Sharkskin set, and the modern heels. The touches of gold in the earrings and cross-body bag complete this look!

In this set:

PrAna Whisper Tank Top at EBAGS, $32.99

Skinny Regular Ankle Jeans at H&M, $19.99

Floor Is Yours Black Suede High Heel Sandals at LULUS, $19

Gabriella Rocha Delya Crossbody Saddle Purse at 6PM, $29.99

Simple Goldtone Bow Tie Ribbon Stud Earrings Fashion Jewelry For Women at AMAZON, $12.99


You don't need to spend a fortune to be fashion-forward! Many pieces you already own can be reborn and reimagined into something incredibly trendy just by adding a few new pieces with the season's top colors. How will you incorporate Pantone's Color Report into your Fall wardrobe?

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
