This outfit makes me feel like the girl from Wild Thornberry, except I don't have a talking monkey as a friend. Ever look in your closet and say "what would happen if I put these two together?" Well that is what happened to me. At first I had thought to my comfortable jasmine black pants on them to suit the summer "look," but then I fell upon these khakis which I've truthfully had for quite some time but never actually wore, so I figured it was their time to shine. I'm usually not a fan of mixing colors such as khaki/cream and white, but sometime we need to step out of our box. And with the help of a fashion tip of a good friend of mine, the combat boots perfectly pull the colors together! The vibrant mustard yellow scarf adds the spontaneity and "ready for adventure" touch. And who says you can't accessorize when you're on an adventure, thus the arm candy! The jeaned blouse over the striped shirt seemed the appropriate cardigan to give this outfit its adventurous look. Well my fashionistas, hope you loved this outfit as much as I do and don't forget to follow @stylebfj on twitter if you have one!

Yeah, I loved this scarf..so much.

Okay so every hijabi has that one struggle. My struggle is finding maxi scarves, which are just scarves that have more material because it covers a lot and gives a lot of material to work with. But, my hijabi (or whoever is reading this) friends I have found my solution...and it's called Abaya Republic. Haven't heard of them? Well you're just about to hear all about them.

I <3333 this abaya

A friend of mine has always had a different and rather unique style when it comes to her abayas (a black long cover up commonly worn by Muslim women). Honestly, sometimes I don't know how she pulls off some of the ones she wears, but she does and she makes it look easy for people like me who have a very specific style when it comes to abayas. She usually shops in Dubai, which I'm sure many of you know, is quite far from this side of the world. So she had this idea to bring those styles to this side! Best part of this all is how close she is to my house because after I saw her collection of abayas and scarves, I know I've found the place to go to solve my hijabi struggle and create and find my own unique abaya style. I honestly am quite picky when it comes to abayas because of my height and what not, but she has styles that I would truthfully test out and see how they look. Which I did during our little photoshoot, making me fall in love with one of the abayas I tried on! All in all, what I'm trying to say is that you've got to check out what this girl and her sister-in-law have! They don't have a website up yet but all the contact info and Facebook page will be posted below!

For all those "oh you fancy" girls out there; loved it!

 Their website is set to launch early October, 2014 and we are so excited to be offering shipping in the contiguous US area (Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada coming soon) but in the meantime, they can be contacted about your inquiries at sales@abayarepublic.com or called us at (407) 547-9000.

For the next few months, you'll just be hearing (or reading) me go on about how much I love this weather because for us Floridians, when it gets 60 degrees...we bring out our cup of hot cocoa and tell ourselves that we need to have pumpkin spice lattes (when we all know that we really don't because it's still not cold enough).

Okay, onto the outfit! Today's outfit is actually a favorite of mine because of how easy it is to put together but also because of how vibrant it is yet still staying with the fall theme. I guess we can say we're getting into "sweater weather" and I actually don't wear this one too often but I bring it out with this outfit because it blends so well with the colors of the floral scarf and adds a pop to the gray and white chiffon polk-a-dot shirt. Because of the length of the shirt and sweater (or long cardigan as some call it), I topped the outfit off with my boots of course but you could certainly do flats or even converse or those vans styled shoes ( I don't know the proper terminology so vans styled is what I'm going with). Well I hope you guys have a lovely week enjoying this weather and everything about it from the cute outfits, the cute instagram pictures we take of our lattes, oh and not to mention the cute stylebyfj posts that'll be coming up :D

That title rhymes, right? Just a little, because I kept on repeating it and I think I convinced myself that it rhymes. Well my fashionable fellows, this week we've got a hybrid. I've actually done this concept of mixing fall and summer clothing but this is different especially with kimonos becoming "the thing". You guys know how much I love my boots, if I could wear them all of June and July, let's be real here, I probably would. According to those weather dudes, the cool fall weather should be coming in now and you know what that means....pumpkin spice lattes and boots! But of course, Florida once to be the odd ball out which makes me work with the heat and fulfill my fall fashion!

Right when I bought this kimono, the first thing I thought of was how good it would look with my combat boots (I'm not obsessed with them, I promise). So I simply gathered the basics down: kimono, black dress, and combat boots. Now to figure out the color combination of the jeans and scarf. I had to figure out a good combination of a summer and fall color that of course won't look strange together. I couldn't help but use my peach coral scarf that I've been glued to this whole summer; and color blocked it with my favorite vibrant royal blue skinnies that mix oh so well with the camel tan tone of the combat boots (you guys know you love it)! I felt like wearing a big ring (since those are my favorite accessories), so I dashed on my chunky mint colored ring that correlates well with both colors.


Just always have to make a face

Well, if you're stuck like me and want to wear your fall clothes but it's too hot to go all out, then make a hybrid outfit! Have a good rest of the week guys! :)
