DIY Friday: a healthy snack



This snack is near & dear to my heart, when I was living in Kentucky, we used to drive up to Huber Farms in Indiana every fall and pick apples. but they didn't just have apples to pick, they had a petting zoo, a gift shop, ice cream parlor, cheese shop, wine shop, a restaurant, pumpkin picking, they even had a corn maze!

I loved going here. I dream about it still! And I got this healthy snack from their restaurant. Apples & cheese. That's all you need! It's a quick & simple snack post workout, before bed, after school, etc.

Gather what you need:
Apple (I like firm crisp apples, somewhat in the larger side)
Cheese (I used raw milk cheddar)
Cutting board
Knife

Take your cheese and slice it. 
And the cut your apple. 
Then place the slice of chees on the apple slice on a plate and take a bite! Yum right?! 

I also added Brookside chocolate covered almonds from Sam's Club.
And I placed everything on a MacKensie-Childs Courtly Check salad plate. 


Enjoy! -Ryn

DIY Friday: Attention

Hey loves! I hope all is well in your corners of the world, wherever that may be! : ) 

I have some disappointing news for ya, I will not be uploading a DIY today! : ( 
But I will try and get one up next week! : ) 

Because I'm helping my mama with an event she's planning, I have put everything pretty much on hold until next week so I can give her most of my attention! I will be back in the swing of things starting Wednesday! 

I do want to say, I have been watching fashion week online and so far Rachel Zoe & Nicole Miller are my two faves right now! Haven't watched them all yet, but when I do I'll let you know who really is/are my favorite(s)! And if you'd like to watch too, go to: www.newyorkfashionweek.com. It's quite enjoyable! : )

Also I have been thinking about starting a new miniseries of blogposts, which I would upload on Thursday. I would call it Thankful Thursday, just to get into the spirit of thanksgiving and all that jazz! I would say what I'm thankful for and explain why I'm so thankful for it! I would start the first Thursday of October... What do y'all think? Something I should do? Or not? I would love for y'all to join in and comment or email me with what you're thankful for too! 

Also still available to style you! Just email me with what you would like me to do! 

If you have any suggestions for the blog, or have a question for me, or would like to get a hold of me, please contact me via email: styledbyryn@gmail.com

Thanks y'all! Love ya, Ryn

Style Fyle: autumn is coming...

As I've mentioned before, I LOVE Autumn! I love the smell, the cooler weather, the leaves changing, the warm drinks you order from a coffee shop, the cozy feelings, how the stores get ready for the fall fashions, the Bonfires & hayrides, the thanksgiving celebrations,... EVERYTHING! I adore it all! 

One of my most favorite things in autumn are the outfits and pieces you can wear & come up with! It's soo much better than summer, not to knock summer, I just like Fall better! 😉 It's a magical time of year. 


I love fall colors; the berry, teal, emerald, rust, mustard, cream, camel... Etc. but you don't have to wear the colors of fall to celebrate fall! Neons are still IN, among other colors too! Am just excited to wear some of my deeper colored nail polishes! Woohoo!

Here are a few pics I gathered from my www.Pinterest.com boards, I hope you find inspiration in all of these looks! : ) 

Casual:
These looks are for the more casual lifestyle. The one who shops, works in a less conservative atmosphere, the artistic & such! 

The poncho and the Oxford underneath andwith the rain boots, so so cute!

With the hat and the scarf and the stripes...oh my! Perfection!

I bought a felted hat like this, this past spring and I'm so excited to wear it finally! 
Also the collared shirt underneath the oversized shirt looks so great!

I also bought an oversized cashmere sweater this past spring, I will definitely be trying something like this with it!

The whole patches thing on the jeans to the chambray & sweater. Gorgeous.
I'll be wearing my chambray shirts all season long!

I'm all about the flares right now! And with that fur coat, amazing!

I'm liking the whole red pants look! Especially with a big comfy sweater. This look looks ultra chic!
Don't forget to utilize your floral & colored denim this fall too! 

What don't I like about this outfit? Pretty much nothing... 
The hi-lo hemline with the shirt underneath, genius!

That scarf and brogues look luxe with that outfit!

Leather (or faux leather) pants are such an unexpected surprise to any outfit!

With the boots and the patchwork blazer, you can't really go wrong! : )





Work:
These are some ideas for corporate working environments...


The colors just meld beautifully together.

Those pants are so cute, and that vest! The scarf brings everything together & 
makes the whole outfit pop!

I'm really liking the casualness of the zip up hoodie with the pencil skirt. Such a
nice combo! The leopard shoes are great too!

Ugh! I really like this look! The whole thing! With fur vest, the skirt( I bet it's midi length!) and top bun & sunglasses! Perfect in everyway! 

The cinched in blazer with a belt. Super cute right? 

See neon? It's such a good break from all the black going on! 

I'm really diggin' the ankle pants with the socks & platform booties, i'll have to try that!
And that jacket is super cute, right?!?


This would look like Christmas on you body if the colors were brighter, but since they are very deep & luxe, it totally works!

If you have any summer-y skirts you still want to wear, you can totally pair them with tights and a cozy sweater! It's such a fun fall look!

This is just chic & intense. With the heeled booties & coat, you can't really go wrong!



Which stores I will be frequenting this fall & winter: 
Madewell (duh!)
Old navy (it's my kind of forever 21)
Nordstrom & Nordstrom rack
H&M 
Neiman Marcus 
Gap
Free people 
Ulta
Anthropologie
And any others along the way ; )

Online:
Poshmark 
eBay 
Etsy

Day 22: Ryn B. - One of my favorite things... Cableknit.

I am loving cable-knit type things right now...
Not just in sweaters! I like it in rugs, ceramics, scarves... seriously everything!

You can decorate with it...
You can wear it.

One thing you can do is to go thrifting and get a men's cableknit sweater.

Super cute, in the cozy/chic look! : ) Just picture; black skinnies, slouchy sweater, ballet flats, top bun, red lips.. See I told you! ; )
So many options! I really think that it makes things cozier!

Think of using a big cableknit sweater in your outfit. Cozy right?

You can also buy new just shop in men's or a bigger size to give you the cozy feeling : )

Cableknit is such a classic look. And such fun look in the winter too! You could also pair a cableknit sweater with a pencil skirt, maybe a colored shirt and heels, a dressy casual effect!

Or a weekend look could be to pair with floral or polkadot denim! Really cute! Ad some sparkle to it too and then throw on some hiking boots or military boots! A nice balance for sure!

And then adding cableknit to your house is adds texture & liveliness to your home! You could place a cableknit throw over your sofa, or a ceramic cableknit vase to hold your beautiful flowers... Or even soap dishes that hold your soap!

I mean there are so many options to choose from! To adding texture into our daily lives! : )





Merry Christmas and Love & Cozy Wishes to you and yours!
