Hailey's Helpful Hints

  Happy Friday! I was thrilled this morning when I came across this fashion board with 21fabulous outfits for fall  2012. Lord knows that New York fashion week isn't on my radar so I'm thankful Beth over at Home Stories A to Z was able to help a sista' out. Some you'll love, some you might hate. Take bits and pieces and make it your own. What I loved about her post is that she made it super convenient by allowing you to “shop the outfit."
