Oh La La Leopard

First of all- I need to take a quick moment and say that today is my wonderful husband's 30th birthday- happy birthday my love! Finally, I'm not the older woman anymore, and

Temperatures are FINALLY cooling off here in sunny Los Angeles. I actually felt a chill in the air over the weekend which I happily welcomed. Now that it's officially fall and it's cooling off, it's time to dust off the leopard that has been collecting dust in your closet the past few months. Bring it back out!

Fox in the Snow

Lately I've been noticing little foxes pop up everywhere! Foxes are both adorable and can be sophisticated. Tory Burch is spearheading this fox movement and I am in full support. While I don't see myself rushing out to buy a fox stole anytime soon, I may have to bring home one of these fox bracelets!

Living in Leather

Leather is definitely one of the big fall trends and it's not limited to shoes and jackets. Leather is taking over skirts, dresses, pants, and tops. It's currently about 90 degrees outside so the idea of wearing leather sounds atrocious, but soon it will be cooling down (one can hope!) and leather may be a chic staple to add to my wardrobe for the cooler months.

Black is Back

Black- it's the most classic, slimming, and always chic color to wear. Going black on black will never be out of style. After swathing myself in bright colors since spring, this timeless combo is really calling to me. I will always love a pop of color, but sometimes all a girl wants is to be head to toe dressed in black. Try not to go all out funeral with this look and remember accessories are your friend.

ADORABLE!

Are you ready to shed some color and slip into the ease of all black?

Hello Fall!

Bring on the fall! Can you tell by recent posts that I am just aching for the temperatures to dip a tad? While the real start of fall is just under 3 weeks away, labor day is the unofficial farewell to summer. It's been a good summer here- about a month's worth of scorching days, several trips to the beach, weekend getaways, and lots of great memories with friends. I have fully enjoyed the past few months, but I really just want to curl up in a sweater and jeans and slip on some boots. Living in Los Angeles, we have probably another month before we really embrace the autumn season, but I think I'll sneak in a few fall accessories here and there to ease into the changing season. Bring on the navy, the camel, the tortoise shell, the darker nail polish, soup, and the booties!

Fall perfection- camel coat, big bag, skinny jeans, gold accessories

 

This outfit screams of my favorite fall wears- chambray, black jeans, leopard flats

Loafin Around Town

I love Lucy loafers! I bought a pair of python loafers last fall and I never looked back. I bought the loafers because I knew I loved them, but I was surprised at how versatile they ended up being. I love them with skinny jeans and an over sized sweater, with skirts and sweaters, and with dresses at the office.  Take advantage of the warmer weather with simple shorts and tops and then add some edge with spiked loafers or these colorful kelly green ones. I'd love to hear if you are into loafers- or not, and how you wear them!

Camel + Black

As we look ahead to fall one of my favorite color combos for this time of year is camel paired with black. It's chic, classic, and these colors are incredibly versatile to pair with other pieces in your wardrobe (think navy, white, leopard prints). This combo is really set off with gold accessories and worn in classic silhouettes. All this fall talk is making me wish temperatures were a little cooler today so I could throw on an oversized sweater and pants and curl up with a chai tea latte (one of my favorite fall necessities!) without breaking into a sweat.
