Whoever decided that "comfort clothes" (as Eric refers to them) with heels and accessories is an OK thing is my hero and Anna Wintour's nightmare. (The devil does NOT wear sweats.) And then I found these, in the softest faux suede you ever will see. My day was officially made. They're ridiculously comfortable, and worn with a little something embellished up top, it's pretty solidified that you're not headed to the gym. Peep-toe booties, accessories, and a bold lip finish off the look. What do you think about non-workout sweats?

These little shoe/booties were one of the first things that caught my eye in the store, but because I need another pair of booties right now like I need a hole in my head, I tried to steer clear and stick with a few fresh clothing options for fall. One of my goals was to find an easy shift or shirt dress that I can wear now and into fall with a jacket and booties. When I came across this one, the fit was just what I was looking for, so I bought it in two colors. (Hey, it was early. I'm not great at decision-making at 7:00 am.) Then after a little more roaming around the store and just because I couldn't help myself, I swung back around for the booties, because, oh, what's one more pair? I love the black and white of this look paired with a bold lip, and I know these pieces will be in heavy rotation this fall...if fall ever gets here. Hope everyone is having a great week!

After much gabbing and a couple of cocktails, we snapped these photos right outside of the restaurant. I had plans of wearing a cute little dress and heeled sandals all day, but I lost track of time and threw on these glorified sweats on my way out the door. I love Riller & Fount's ultra-soft knitwear, and this little t-shirt dress is no exception. Since I walked the few blocks there, a plaid around the waist, wedge sneakers, and sassy shades helped finish off the look.

I love fall-ish taupe color and crinkled pleating, and it works just as well now with a sleeveless top as it will later with a cropped sweater. A fringed handbag and feather-embellished hat helped to complete the boho look. Hope everyone has an amazing weekend! xoxo P.S. - Don't forget to enter the Emploi New York dress giveaway!

Like really, really ready. Unfortunately, Mother Nature here in Southern California is not on the same page. (As in, two 88+ degree forecasts this week. Get it together, October.) So for now I'm sticking with lightweight dresses and such that can be paired with jackets at sundown, and this one from Emploi New York's resort collection is a whole lotta fun when paired with black extras and a bold, pink lip. (Also, check out the rest of their resort threads here.) Now thanks to Emploi, I'm giving one of these dresses away to one lucky reader. Simply click away at the options below. Good luck! xoxo Photos thanks to Taylor Cole Photography CAbi blouse (c/o); CAbi skirt (c/o); JustFab bag (c/o); Halogen heels (also love these); Forever 21 sunglasses; bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipstick in "Live Large" I've never had a job with the typical nine-to-five office attire, but sometimes it's fun to dress the part. I love a good pencil skirt, and in burgundy lace, this one from CAbi is perfect for fall. Calf-hair leopard pumps create contrast, while a tucked black blouse and structured handbag add polish. If a buttoned-up dress code is part of your weekday routine, it's easy to get stuck in a boring rut, but adding in a few textured pieces for fall can really change your options. Hope everyone has a great week!
xoxo P.S. - Head over to my Instagram today for a fun giveaway! Paige Denim jeans via Marshall's (similar); Joe Fresh tank; Halogen heels; C.Wonder sunglasses; French Connection bag (c/o); La Mer Collections watch Today I'm sharing one final look from New York Fashion Week, and this particular morning was a hot one. (From the looks of my friends' NYC Instagram snaps these days, I'd say I just missed out on some glorious fall weather on the East Coast.) After running around New York for a few days, Kathleen dragged me out of bed early on Saturday morning, and easy jeans and a tank were pretty much all I could muster. These coated, zippered skinnies are surprisingly so comfortable, and I know they will be in heavy rotation throughout the fall. Staple leopard pumps, a sleek leather bag, and mirrored sunnies finished off the look. Hope everyone is having a great week - it's almost Friday! xoxo Photos thanks to Taylor Cole Photography Skirt via Nordstrom (old, but love this one); Equipment blouse; Everlane sweatshirt; Report booties (c/o) Alloy Apparel; Tory Burch bag; Shop Prima Donna necklace; Forever 21 sunglasses; H&M bracelet In the spirit of pretending it feels like fall around here, I wanted to layer up a bit without jumping the gun on the temperature front. This perforated leather mini has been hiding in the back of my closet for a while now, and I was excited when I remembered it earlier this week. Paired with a silk blouse and short-sleeved sweatshirt, it's sort of an edgy take on a schoolgirl-inspired look. Peep-toe booties (that will be in heavy rotation this fall), a bold handbag, and a statement necklace added the finishing touches. Hope everyone is enjoying the first official days of fall! xoxo P.S. - There's still time to enter the $500 Neiman Marcus giveaway, so don't miss out! Shop these booties: 1.

After a pre-fall leather skirt search, I picked up this little get-up a few weeks ago at H&M and instantly thought "New York." Fast forward to a sticky, 80+ degree morning in the Big Hot Apple, and a chunky sweater probably wasn't the best idea. But hey, "if you like it, wear it" is kind of my thought, and I liked it. And most of my destinations had air conditioning. So whatever. Today I'm off to Palm Springs for the weekend where the high is over 100 degrees and anything heavier than chiffon just won't do, but sometimes a weekend by the pool is just what the doctor ordered. Who's excited for Friday?! This girl! xoxo |
