There is something so cozy and nostalgic about the fall season, it has always been my favorite. Hearing a football game on in the background, sipping mulled apple cider, seeing all of the beautiful colors on the trees, curling up under a fluffy blanket or hearing the sounds of leaves rustle and crunch under my feet as I head out for an evening walk all just remind me how grateful I am to experience this beautiful time of year, a season I missed for nearly a decade while living in the southeast before moving to California 2 years ago.

While many of us gravitate towards lighter and brighter colors during summer, I have to say that as a lover of classic style, black is a staple that I just love wearing year round, and there is nothing better than great fitting black jeans paired with heels, flats or boots during fall! They're easy to dress up or make more casual-a staple in every lady's wardrobe! What I love about this pair is that they hold their shape due to having a bit of stretch and have retained their color really well compared with other black denim I've owned in the past. I recently purchased a second pair on sale and also own 2 pairs in the dark denim wash, both colors are essentials for my fall casual wardrobe. I wear a size 4 long for reference (the long size is awesome for all of us tall girls!) these also come in regular and short lengths.

This rose embroidered ruffle sleeve top has just enough pattern and a pop of color and the best part is it's just under $20! While I could have paired this outfit with a solid black clutch, I find the pattern play against my top along with a red mani adds a playful twist which is perfect for date night or casual Friday at the office.

What's your favorite thing about fall? What pieces are you most excited about wearing this season?

September Classy Fashion Favorites

Autumn officially began just a few days ago and I have to say that as much as I love summer, the warmer temps it brings and the easy breezy wardrobe options that it offers, there is always something so cozy about this transitional time of year as we lead into fall-my favorite season. I'm wearing jeans and a sweater as I type this, our first of many cooler days after a massive month long heat wave from 90-107 degrees that seemed to dominate every weekend of August.

This year I'm enjoying all the soft velvet we're seeing in bold, deep hues and the ruffle trend continuing. I'm still a huge fan of booties so I've shared several options that can be dressed up or down-I'm loving this pair of black booties, they are on my wish list! They also come in a riding boot version which are currently on sale. Being a dress lover, I had to include several dresses also that I've had my eye on as well as some really great skirts-you can't beat the versatility. You can click on any image above in my boutique and it will take you straight to the ready-to-shop source!

What do you have on your fall wish list this year? What is your favorite autumn hue?

Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas: All Looks on Sale!

ONE  ||  TWO: ( SWEATER + SKIRT )  ||  THREE  ||  FOUR

FIVE  ||  SIX  ||  SEVEN  ||  EIGHT  ||  NINE  ||  TEN

....

It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away! With that in mind, I wanted to share some outfit ideas with you and the best part is all of the pieces I'm including are on sale!! With the Nordstrom Fall Clearance Sale currently running, you can get several pieces up to 50% off! Now is the perfect time to plan what to wear so it will arrive with time to spare. By the way, how cute is this tote for under $40 that comes in 3 colors?!

Thanksgiving tends to be warmer for us here in Florida, however some years have been surprisingly chilly which is always a welcomed change. I typically gravitate towards wearing a skirt + blouse for a more dressy affair, or a sweater dress with tall heeled boots for an edgier look. When we're at home or invited to our in-laws' home and want to dress more casual, I love wearing jeans with a tee (short or long sleeved), topped with a cape/poncho, blazer or cozy sweater along with riding boots. The key is to wear comfortable clothing since it will be a day of feasting on yummy treats! Wearing an outer layer is a great way to hide a bit of a post-dinner tummy. I think this leather pocket sweater with these black skinny jeans would make a cute and stylish casual outfit.

Even if you aren't buying for Thanksgiving, it's worth taking a peek at the sale. Items have been selling out really fast (there are a few pieces that I wanted to share here but they're already sold out) so if you see something in your size or favorite color, act fast!

Classy Fashion Favorites for November

I'm back with another edition of Classy Fashion Favorites for this glorious fall season. As the temperature continues to drop (although in Florida I'm beginning to wonder if that's ever going to happen as our heatwave presses on!), so too becomes the need for warmer clothing, layers, proper outerwear and boots. I believe neutrals are the basis of every wardrobe, especially in the cooler months so you'll see several of them here.

Above, via the boutique widget I'm sharing a collection of 80 favorite pieces that I've come across for the month with these 8 being on my immediate wish list.

Most of you have likely packed up your summer clothing now and have had a chance to take a little inventory of what's needed for the new season in your closet.

My favorite is the Nordstrom Fall Clearance Sale which includes everything for women, men, kids and the home with many items up to 40% off (I've even seen some for up to 50% off!)

Classy Back to School Fashion Inspiration

1  //  2  //  3  //  4  //  5  //  6  //  7  //  8

There's something so nostalgic for me about back to school time. Even though it's been a while since I've been in school myself and Lily is still too young as she's just shy of 2 years old, each year I love seeing all of the cooler weather fall fashion in stores, aisles of school supplies and the anticipation knowing cozy sweater weather (with a pumpkin latte in hand) is just around the corner! It also brings back happy memories for me of forming new friendships and the excitement of a new year ahead.

Everyone wants to put their best foot forward on their first day back to school whether they're in Elementary School or heading off to University. While skinny jeans, a stylish top and a cute pair of boots/shoes are basics for back to school attire when it comes to young ladies, it's the accessorizing and finishing touches that set one apart from their classmates. Today I'm partnering with Macy's to share some back to school fashion inspiration focusing on accessories that will polish off any back-to-school outfit with a teen or University gal in mind. However, any woman could easily add these accessories to their wardrobe.

Neutral pieces are always a great investment and can be worn throughout the year for many years to come. A statement ring, playful phone case, flattering pair of sunnies, a classic watch and a cool earthy eye shadow palette by MAC (currently 45% OFF!) will add the wow factor. Polished nails always finish off a look and I love the edginess of these starburst studs. My favorite selection though is an everyday must-have, a great handbag! Bucket bags are definitely on trend right now but what I love most about this one (which is seriously marked down and ends today) is it hits a few different style points: gray & camel neutral combo which can easily pair with white, brown or black; fringe tassel drawstring closure and while it can be worn on the shoulder it's also a cross-body bag. It wins my vote for versatility. Perfect for a gal on the go!

From now until Aug.25th you can get 20% OFF your Macy's back-to-school purchase w/code: BTS at checkout for kids and juniors. If you haven't already discovered the site, I highly recommend using ShopAtHome.com links so you can earn an additional 5% back on your purchase! 

Whether you're headed back to school, are already established in your career or are a stay at home mom, have you found yourself also getting caught up wanting to freshen up your wardrobe with the back-to-school vibe in the air?
