Editors picks for September

I've decided to do what editors and writers do best for their magazines/blogs, create a monthly favorites list, in other words, the editors picks. For the month of September, I've been seeing tons of gorgeous office accessories and decor, the best Fall fashion, Fall inspirations, home decor, and many other favorites. Most of these items I have found on Pinterest and Instagram. Also at the end I will include some of my favorite followers, people I follow on Instagram and Pinterest hat have the best style, the best Etsy shops, and just the best of everything I love. So to get started I included my favorite  Fall movie to start:

Ah yes, the Sanderson sisters of Salem! Who doesn't love Hocus Pocus?! 

And now to continue on with the list of my picks and favorites!

Also, a couple great places I have been to this month here in San Diego. The first is Caffe Calabria. It's a great place if you enjoy an Italian eatery that serves authentic pizza and fine wine, also they secretly have the best coffee! I've tried the Rosé and Sangria, and for coffee: their Mexican mocha and lattes are perfection...so delicious! And the other place, I happened to go on a date to last night...Starlite Lounge in midtown, near Downtown San Diego. Both places are perfect for a hangout spot or a date, and very romantic with these beautifully lit ceilings and dim lighting. 

Lastly, here is a list of people I follow on both pinterest and instagram that are the best to follow if you like anything on this favorites list!
I no particular order:
-Kate Spade NY
-The EveryGirl
-Louis Vuitton
-Caffe Calabria
-Glitter Guide
-GenTwenty
-Apartment Therapy
-Lauren Conrad
-Etsy
-Julia Engel

I included my Pinterest and Instagram links in the beginning, but you can also find it on the upper right hand corner of the website. I have pinned all of these photos and items on my Pinterest page. Happy shopping!

Tips & Essentials for your Office Space

Since I am a busy writer who also has a daytime job in retail; I am naturally a very organized person. With my OCD in organization, comes a very organized office space. It's where I do all my writing, and handle my business with the websites I work for. Being a writer means you are going to take and keep lots of notes, need to have writing guides in hands reach and of course a place for my subscriptions to Elle Magazine and Cosmopolitan.

From note-taking, to Skype calls/meetings, and jotting down ideas daily I finally ordered my own Agenda from Kate Spade New York. I need it so badly to start writing down my dates for when I turn in my articles, when i post to my blog, my meetings and other necessary dates related to my life as a writer.

Here are a few things on my desk that I absolutely need to keep me organized and working efficiently:

• Small sticky notes - So that I can post them on the side of my laptop for quick reminders
• Tape, a stapler, paper clips, pens, highlighters - The essential office supplies that I use almost daily
• Several stylish notepads - Gotta have the good style right?
• My laptop and Ipad - Thats just a must. I usually have both devices up and running while working/writing
• Two polka-dot tin cans - One for my pens and such and the other for my small paper trash
• Letter Filer - I need this to file my notes and such. I also have a regular file cabinet for everything else
• Coaster and Coffee mug - I'm a coffee drinker, who isn't?
• A place for my magazines - Because I love having them handy and on display
• A cork board - Great for pinning notes and reminders, or just ideas. 

What's in my drawers and storage bins? Extra supplies, notepads, sticky notes, journals, and documents. I also love to add a couple accessories/decor. Check out the pictures below of my office space and other spaces I am in love with.
