Fall Picks

This coming Fall season, I am looking forward to updating my wardrobe. There's nothing more exciting than transitioning into the next season, switching the shorts for skinnies or vice versa. Here are a few looks that inspire me to wear once this beautiful summer weather comes to an end. 

Fur scarves, layered jackets in similar color hues, oversized knits, tailored skinnies & slouchy boots.

 

Ankle booties with a small-ish heel so I'm able to walk miles in them.

 

Large, versatile and structured tote :: Simple & stackable gold jewelry.

This weekend was spent relaxing at my friend's lake cabin. It was so nice to get away for a couple of days and escape the craziness of the city. Seems nice when all is written on your to-do list is: sleep in, go paddle boarding, eat amazing meals & sun tan all day long. Tis the life. 

Here is what I packed in my weekender: 

2 bathing suits

Sun hat

Beach towel

Flip flops

Sun dress

Jean shorts

Tank top

Sun tan lotion

Magazine

When in doubt, keep it simple. 

Happy Summer!

Denim + Whites.

With summer in full force now, there's no excuse for you not to pull out that white summer dress from the back of your closet. Pairing it with a denim vest or jacket keeps the look casual and cool. Brown and gold accessories pair nicely with denim as they are not too clunky and heavy looking. 

TIP: 

Wear strappy brown heels or ankle booties for the evening and brown gladiator sandals for the daytime.

Skirt & Tee

This look never ceases to impress me. It is such an easy outfit to master, if done right. Perfect for so many different occations...running errands, dinner date, or a night out on the town. 

TIP: 

Make sure the skirt is fitted while keeping the top nice and loose. Also, make sure the tee is long enough that it reaches your hips. Adding cool accessory colors ties the outfit together.

The Denim Shirt.

This is a classic and essential piece for summer as well as a good transition piece into Fall. Whether you style it tucked into jeans or worn over a lace dress, the verstitility of this shirt never seems to get old. A personal fave of mine is to wear it with leggings and a long tank with the denim shirt unbuttoned overtop with the sleeves rolled up. 

TIP: 

If pairing it with denim, make sure the denim colors don't clash. For example, choose a light colored denim shirt and pair it with darker colored denim bottoms.

Blazer + Boyfriend Jeans

Loving this look for so many reasons. There's nothing better than a crisp white blazer paired with relaxed boyfriend jeans. The mixture of polished with distressed says it all and is the perfect balance. This will definitely be my summer staple. Pair it with flats when running errands or heels when going our for lunch with friends. 

TIP: 

Make sure to pick a blazer that has a good fit. Look for ones that are fitted through the waist to accentuate your smallest part. When wearing looser bottoms, a fitted top is necessary. 

My favorite boyfriend jeans can be found here & here and a solid white blazer here.

The Long Blazer.

This should be a staple in every girl's closet. Blazers can be worn in the winter, fall, spring and summer. So versatile it's ridiculous. Whether that blazer be a boyfriend blazer, cropped or long like this one shown below, it's a necessary piece for your wardrobe collection. 

The longness of this one can be paired with leggings, skinnies or wide leg and shorts. As for color, get a different color for each so you can wear it according to the season! For example, this pastel pink is awesome for spring & summer.
