Helloooooo November! I say this every month, but it feels like the past month absolutely flew by. Seriously, where did October go?!? This month's playlist features a lot of recently released music because there have been some absolutely fantastic albums and singles coming out in the past few weeks. I've also picked out some fun and unexpected artist collabs. …
Red Valentino Ruffles
This statement will come as no surprise to those of you who have been following Bowtiful Life for a while now, but ruffles are one of my favorite kinds of embellishment on clothing! They add a feminine touch to any look and when they're partnered with an edgier accessory or pair of shoes they create the perfect mix of sweet and sassy. …
“Apple Cider” Bowtiful Wallpaper
Fall is in full swing and I couldn't be happier! However, I'm still amazed that Halloween is already next week. (I still don't know what I'm dressing up as! Do you?) Just like this month's wallpaper says, autumn is made up of crisp air, fiery leaves, bonfires, apple cider, mountain camping, etc. This month's bowtiful wallpaper was inspired by all of the above, especially the cinnamon and caramel tones of apple cider. …
Transitioning Your Summer Wardrobe into Fall
October in Chicago is always a toss up. Sometimes, we'll get chilly winds and snow. Other times, we'll get unseasonably warm fall weather... (Sometimes it's even in the seventies like it's been for the past few days!) With this constantly fluctuating range of temperatures, transitioning a wardrobe from summer to fall can be a bit difficult. …
Make a Statement with Kendra Scott Winter ’17
I'm a huge fan of jewelry that makes a statement, especially big earrings! I love statement earrings because they compliment so many different kinds of outfits. You can throw them on with everything from jeans and a big sweater for running errands, to a little black dress for a fun night out on the town. On top of that, they don't clash with varying necklines like lots of statement necklaces can. Kendra Scott's new Winter 2017 collection has a multitude of statement earrings to choose from in so …
Cranberry Kate Spade Dress
Fall color palettes are always one of my favorites each year. There's always some variation of burgundy or maroon that has such a richness to it and reminds me of the changing colors of the leaves. That being said, as soon as I found this gorgeous cranberry-toned Kate Spade dress I was obsessed! …
Friday Five 10.06.17
Happy Friday! Life has been absolutely crazy busy recently and it feels like the weeks have been passing faster and faster. I'm still amazed that we're already almost a full week into October! It's been a while since I've done a Friday Five post and I have a few fun things to share with all of you, so here we go! …
October ’17 Playlist
Hey lovelies, happy October! This month's playlist is all over the board when it comes to sound and musical category. I picked a lot of newer songs that I found through the New Music Friday playlist as well as my Discover Weekly playlist. Those two playlists are where I find the majority of my new music! My personal favorite tunes from this month's playlist are "Oh Child" and "Without You." Happy listening! ~ Listen on Spotify ~ …

Finding The Perfect LBD – 3 Key Qualities to Look For
