Easy, Fall Living

 

 

Hello all! We are almost in TGIF mode...but not quite yet. I hope everyone is having a lovely Thursday and has some exciting plans in store for the upcoming weekend. I've mentioned here that I absolutely love weekends in the fall! Football, movies, haunted houses, hiking, it just seems like there is always so much happening in October. I have found the most perfect fall outfit that can take you from work or class to pumpkin patch picking (seriously how many people did that last weekend?) or a scary movie date to even a concert by just adding a few fall details.

 

First off, by now you know I live in t-shirt dresses. They are so comfortable and with a little bit of styling, can make you look like you've pieced together a look that would make Reese Witherspoon jealous. T-shirt dresses are a great base piece, kind of like a blank art canvas that you can add to create a look of your own. With today's look I started with one of my all-time favorite wardrobe colors, blush pink. It's soft and feminine and the color looks good on everyone, what more could you ask for? It looks a little to basic solo so I add a chambray denim shirt to tie around my waist. Now, some people like to tie an actual jacket around their waist but I prefer denim or plaid shirts. The shirts are less bulky and don't add heaviness to your look or frame, it simply cinches the waist plus if you actually do get cool you can always untie it to use! I get most of my shirts at Old Navy or Forever 21, just size up to get the effect.

 

Another item big on my fall wardrobe staples? Hats! I love them and think they are the perfect way to add a unique touch or if you aren't feeling your hair that day. Add some fringe booties (I also love this look with converse sneakers or ballet flats), a unique necklace and your favorite fall bag then call it a day! Oh and you don't like the blush color, maybe you are someone who hates pink? Don't worry this dress comes in so many color options, you are bound to find one you like! Can't choose which color? They are under $20 so go ahead and get two...or three. You will be wearing these on repeat all season and then some!

Peplum, Platforms and Flares...Oh My

 

Happy Tuesday all! Hope everyone had a lovely weekend, I am just now getting caught up after a fabulous trip to Orlando. I can not wait to share my trip recaps starting tomorrow! In the meantime fall is here and I just can't help but looking at the latest trends. A few of my favorites for this season are classic peplum and 70's inspired flared jeans and platforms. I pieced together an easy look that can take you from day to night and perfect for this in-between weather in the South.

First off, anyone can wear these trends. I like picking looks that flatter all body shapes and sizes. Peplum can be a bit tricky. It does "poof" out on the bottom so I recommend wearing this elegant style with a pencil skirt or as I did with this look, flared jeans. I wasn't sure about mixing these two trends but I love the result. When it gets cooler simply throw on a fitted leather jacket. I rarely wear jeans. I don't think they work on my body but when I find a pair I like they become a staple. For the last few years skinny jeans have been the must-have but I was excited to see this type of retro wear jean back.

Flares or bell bottoms are actually pretty easy to style. If you are on the shorter side, definitely go with the petite version and with this type of jean, I like to always add a heel. Heels dress up jeans and create a slimming effect. This particular pair are super comfy and look good with anything from a peplum top to fitted vintage rock tees. However, this is not the time to wear a loose, blousy shirt with no shape. When wearing flared jeans try and opt for a fitted top to create balance, it also gives that hour glass shape which is always flattering. To top off the look I added one of my favorite statement necklaces which works for all seasons, a quilted bag I snagged at the 75% Kate Spade sale and of course my trusty platforms which are so in this season. The platforms are high but are actually very comfortable which is a good detail when buying shoes.

Shop the whole look below and keep checking back here for new posts I have ready for this week including more fashion and travel. As always, I love hearing from you guys so shoot me an email or comment below with your thoughts and what you would like to see more of!

Happy Shopping!

It's Fall Bar Cart Season

 

 

 

Hello all! Tomorrow officially kicks off my favorite month, October! I'm not just saying that because it's my birthday month. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, I love all things spooky! We will see how well this theory holds during my visit to Halloween Horror Nights this weekend in Orlando (bets on if I keep my eyes open in any of the houses?). It also unofficially kicks off the holiday season in my book. There's just something special about October. As much as I loved my bright pink flamingos and pink motif I had previously going on with my bar cart, I knew it was time to switch for fall.

Bar carts are perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to your home and they come in all sizes and price ranges. Anyone can have a bar cart even if they don't physically have the cart. You can just as easily have a bar area set up on a table or a certain section in your kitchen, dining room areas work well also. Having your bar area on a table is a great way to incorporate this idea into your home, especially ideal if you live in an apartment. All you really need is a chic tray. Updating your bar cart and/or tray is super easy for the changing seasons.

I start off with the surrounding area where I keep my cart. Put a few pictures above the cart area if you please. They can be changed from season to season or can be left year round. The components of the bar area stay relatively the same just with a few updates. For instance, instead of lemons and limes in a small vase for summer just replace those with some fall looking pinecones which can also work for winter (I plan on changing the bar cart to a hot chocolate cart in Dec!). I just picked up a few fake mini-pinecones in a bag via Hobby Lobby. I also got the small vase and two of the pictures. Hobby Lobby is awesome to find details for your cart. Make sure you check or ask for the 40% off coupon that is usually available each week. You can often find it online!

The other items were found at Target and just things I had from previous seasons. You can check the bottom to see where I purchased most of the items and please let me know if you have any questions on decorating your cart or anything else you see here. I love hearing from you all!

Go get started on your cart now!

Happy Last Day of September!

Fall Finds

Hey everyone! We are a few hours till Friday (enter praise emoji) so I thought I would share a few of my favorite pieces for fall. I was in Target today and already started collecting items for my fall bar cart (can't wait to show you guys soon!) and just being around all the pumpkins, skeletons and fall foliage made me ready to throw on a scarf and riding boots. Ok, it is still pretty hot here in the Ham but we can prep right? Check out some of my favorites below and most items are under $100!

For great fall shopping be sure to check out some of my favorite shops including Impressions, Wildfox, Nordstrom, Forever 21, and The Happy Goose Shop. I will be posting lots of looks and my own styling's right here on the blog from these shops and more next week! Stay tuned!

Also, check out how I styled one of my favorite looks here (romper, fedora and platforms under $100 for all three items).

1. Cheetah Print Shift Dress (under $30)

I love this dress! I can't wait to style it for the blog next week. I'm thinking tying a denim jacket/shirt around the waist with my converse for a laid back look or pair it with booties for a night out. The material is so soft, like one of your comfiest tees but in a stylish dress!

2. Downtown Leather Leggings (under $25)

One of my favorite looks in cooler months is leggings with a vintage style rock tee (make sure the shirt is long enough so size up if needed!) and a leather jacket. Get the full vibe by wearing these leather inspired leggings! Can also pair with a longer tunic or sweater and "toughen" up a look just like that.

The Happy Goose Shop 

3. Sam Edelman "Penny" Boots (under $150)

I am obsessed with the Tori Burch Joanna Riding Boot but paying close to $500 for one pair of boots? That isn't realistic for me. I did come across these which are ON SALE and still have that crisp look perfect for fall. Stylish and on sale? Sign me up!

4. Faux Suede Lace-Up Dress (under $25)

The 70's are BACK this season! Fringe, platforms and suede are all popular choices for fall. This dress is perfect for those nights out when you just want to throw on something and go. Super flattering sleeves, loose fit and a shorter hem make it a great choice!

Forever 21 (photo credit: Forever 21)

5. Stripes On Repeat Trapeze Dress (Under $30)

Stripes are another big trend for fall. Wear this dress now in the heat and later with a leather jacket or cardigan. Love the breezy simple look that can be dressed up!

6. Fringe Booties (under $65)

I have been on this trend since last fall and I LOVE my fringe booties! Look at your local boutiques and utilize online shops to find the best deals and options. I think this pair is fabulous and only 64!

7. Afternoon Delight Vest in Sage (under $45)

I wasn't sold on the military style till I saw this vest! Love the colorful detailing and the olive green combo. I will be styling this on the blog soon as well! I'm thinking a black dress, or off-white or denim...endless possibilities!

Impressions (photo credit: Shop Impressions)

8. Luxe Cuddles Tunic Sweater (under $70)

Doesn't this make you want to put on your boots and head on a fall walk? Love this cozy look that will work well into winter when you pair it with tights and booties for a great day look or for those super chilly nights!

Impressions (photo credit: Shop Impressions)

9. Cat's Meow Watch (under $200)

I had to include one splurge item! This watch just reminds me of Halloween-time but not so much that it has to be put away after October 31st. Perfect for all of fall (and rest of the year!) plus it packs in so much personality.

Happy Shopping!
