No Comments on Fall Sale Section at NY and Co.!

Now I have ventured into my fair share of sales sections at my favorite shops and I will have to say what takes the cake is New York and Company! Every time I make my way over to see the latest seasons selections there is always a great rotation. I mean the only answer is that they must be retail sale magicians. It is almost like they sense me making my way to their store and “poof” amazing tops, dresses, jewelry galore! Next time I will be sure to strap a go pro to my head directed at my face so you can all enjoy my insane facial expressions of “ohhh’s, and ahhhh’s, and oh yas queen I am loving everything here!” All jokes aside I wanted to share with you guys my latest find at the beginning of the fall season with this rose colored lace detailed cold shoulder top. Perfect for a day out at the winery or apple picking. When the weather gets a bit chillier this can also pair great with a military style jacket too. Unfortunately I was not able to find this top online, but I found a perfect one that is similar, scroll down for more!

Top 3 Ankle Boot Picks for Fall!

No Comments on Top 3 Ankle Boot Picks for Fall!

I reflect on the numerous situations where I have rolled an ankle in front of a crowd of people ripping the knees of my tights with blood secretly running down my leg like I was trying out for a horror film or having a heel get stuck in a metal vent in the sidewalk while on my way to get coffee.

Well, now I am taking a break from the sky high heels for the sake of my ankles and my pride. If these ankles could talk they definitely would have tiny protest signs marching around chanting something like, “we want flats, when do we want them…NOW!” So I have listened to these little babes and I am giving them what they want this fall. So although a bit worn here are my top 3 favorite boots I am sporting this season:

Choice 1: For the casual day look with skinny jeans or a night look with a skirt or dress these ankle boots from Old Navy are the perfect transitional shoe. With a subtle point gives this look that chic feel and it did not break the bank!

Choice 2: Ok…so I did listen to my protesting ankles, but I had to make a bit of a compromise. I love the feel of a great heel and I have to admit it gives me a little boost of confidence when strutting around. This ankle boot from DSW by Lucky Brand is the perfect in between. This heel can take you from shopping at Whole Foods on crazy Sundays to brunch with the girls! Oh and yes they were on sale for under $30!

Choice 3: Although I did not purchase these this season I guess these ones hold a bit more of a warm spot in my heart since these lasted me from early mornings to late nights on my trip to Paris last year. I was in no position to be buying new things before my trip to wear because I wanted to spend my money on the experience. So finding these at Old Navy for under $50 was the perfect match. Oh, did I mention they were super comfy, great travel shoe!

Fall Florals…where have you been all my life?

2 Comments on Fall Florals…where have you been all my life?

Let’s just start out by giving a shout out to the fashion gods. You have made my wishes come true with mixing the best of both worlds, floral and fall! Yes I get it…in store and online floral is everywhere, but you have to admit this trend is pretty fabulous. I love how you can rock a floral look on the edgier side with leather boots, dress it up with glitzy earrings, or keep it casual with a jean jacket. For my ladies out there who are not down with accessorizing then this trend is perfect for you! No need to layer on the necklaces or bangles since the print alone is all the attention it needs.

For this look I am giving you a long sleeve shift dress from Old Navy for under $40! What I love about this dress is that it is so versatile. I can wear it now during the beautiful fall weather with bare legs and in the snowy winter months I can pair it with black tights. Please do not get these prints confused with your grandmothers old drapes, everyone can pull this trend off to look and feel fabulous!

Oh Hello Autumn!

As I awoke last week and opened my newsfeed I saw posts of pumpkin, plaid, pumpkin spice, and all things fall! Happy first of Autumn everyone! As I leaped (more like sluggishly crawled out) out of bed to get dressed my first thought was yesssss time for boots, sweaters, and all things cozy! As I slipped on my jeans, suede booties, and sweater to hop out the door and start walking to my car it looked like someone poured a bucket of water on me was how much I started sweating. Note to self, even though it is the first day of Autumn the weather can still be a scorching 90 degrees! So this post is dedicated to my gals out there who want that fall style, but want to feel literally “cool” in this warmer weather!

The look I am giving you is a sweater dress with a partial higher neckline, a sleeveless trench vest, and black pleather booties. The sleeveless sweater dress is a great staple piece for your closet since it gives you the feel of fall and this can transition perfectly when it is colder pairing with a leather jacket or high boots. At first, the trench vest felt a little hard to pair with different looks, but I got some inspo from the Who What Wear Collection Instagram! It can also pair great with jeans and a black tee as seen in my post last year.

So I know what you are thinking that the fashion gods may frown upon me for wearing a midi dress and I am wearing ankle boots which will make my legs appear “shorter.” To be perfectly honest, I felt great in this look and that is what matters! Forget the rules, wear what feels good!

What are your favorite trends you are looking forward to this fall? Let’s start the convo, comment below!
