Fall Lookbook

Now that Fall is coming to end, I want to share my lookbook for the season. I know most of you have already been experiencing Winter weather for awhile, but it's just now been cold enough here in southern California to really make people feel like Winter is around the corner. And when I say now, I literally mean now. I just checked the temps for next week and it's going to get back up into the 70's! Hardly Wintertime.

Fall trends are my absolute favorite so I hope you enjoy these outfits! Most can be layered with coats, tights, and boots to transition into Winter. My first lookbook (Summer) can be found here.

Unlike Summer where I was all about color, Fall has been more neutral. I have been reaching for black a lot, and that's something I never thought I'd do again after gravitating toward color the past couple of years. I'm sure once Spring hits, that will change. The beauty of fashion is that you can reinvent yourself every day. For now though, I think I'll stick to jewel tones, sparkle, black and gold, and of course...my favorite pumps! 

What did you wear a lot this season?

It's a date

Wearing: H&M blazer, Express blouse and flats, Loft modern skinny jeans, Banana Republic clutch, House of Harlow necklace

I love a good date night. Despite the fact that I'm married, I still find it important to "date" my husband. Things are so hectic during the week that we hardly have any time to really spend together. Friday night rolls around and we try to do our best to go out and do something fun together. These little moments make all the difference in the world. Plus, it's a great excuse to get a little dolled up :)

Speaking of which, is it Friday yet? This week has been tough and I'm looking forward to the end!

Hope you're having a better time!

Holiday Style Series {Party Time}

Happy Monday everyone! I bet some of you are possibly recovering from a fun party you went to over the weekend. I didn't go to any, but I do have my husband's annual work party coming up next Saturday and I always look forward to getting dressed up. There's no better time to put on the glitz and glam. For week two of the holiday style link-up, the theme of course is dressing up for a formal or semi-formal event.

Wearing: Asos top (old), Loft skirt, Zara pumps, J Crew factory clutch, Nordstrom necklace, family heirloom ring, and Nails Inc polish in Kensington High Street

I chose to wear a shimmery metallic blouse paired with a pleated skirt and gold jewelry. The details really elevate an otherwise simple look. I love the ease of a top and skirt because you can mix and match them with other pieces, which makes everything in your wardrobe go a long way. For fun holiday parties, I suggest metallics, sequins, playful prints and shapes, and anything that makes you feel fabulous! Now's the time to shine.

Here are a couple of other party look ideas:

Return of the {faux} fur

Both vest & blouse - Express

Nails - Nails Inc. {Kensington High Street}

Watch - Fossil

Bracelet - Stella & Dot {Renegade}

Every year, I wait patiently for the weather to change so that I can break out my favorite Winter pieces. It usually rains here a few times in the Fall, so I take advantage and wear my trench coat as often as I can. Then comes the chilly feeling in the air, and I know it's time for the fur vest! Once intimidated by the look, I now love wearing it with jeans and a simple blouse or sweater (last seen here). It's the perfect way to add some warmth without feeling too bundled up. 

Here are some great looks and ideas using a faux fur vest as the focal point:

Are you wearing faux fur this season? Only faux by the way...real fur isn't fashionable.
