I’m often asked, how to style a plaid coat. Well, if you’re more like a black coat type of person, have no fear. A lot of basics and neutrals tone down the craziest of coats. First step is a suede skirt, neutral top (I like a touch of ruffle under $70!), and brown bootie. A combo I can wear to church, birthday parties and meetings. Really the simplest outfits make the biggest impact. Shop this look at Nordstrom, and as always my shop page. Happy Humpday!

I partnered with Nordstrom to share some affordable Fall essentials. I love a good striped sweater, ripped jeans and raspberry heels. The best part is, these picks don’t break the bank! This sweater is only $66, the jeans are on sale, and this camel coat can be styled a billion ways. Just look at my grams. There you have it: 3 Fall essentials leaving you extra moolah for mistletoe.  Hope you have a cozy Monday!

Thank you Nordstrom for partnering on this post!

Two styles that are always on-trend but will always remain classics are military blazers and stripes. I’m a huge fan of the military look and a HUGE fan of Topshop. It’s no lie as a majority of my grams have at least one Topshop piece. Have you noticed? I’ll tell you why: they are affordable, on-trend, and carry a vast variety of day-to-night looks. Let’s face it, gold buttons make my heart skip a beat. Whether you’re a fan of the military look or just need to update your stripes, you can’t go wrong with this classic look. If you’re headed to date night cocktails, ditch the jeans and pair the blazer with a dress. I also linked a couple Topshop picks at Nordstrom. What are some of your favorites?

Nothing beats a refreshing run on the bridge at golden hour. Although, if I’m honest, I’ll admit I get tired and easily bored with daily workouts. So tunes, new gear (hello cute Nike tank!) and changing up my routine are essential. So many of you have asked for my diet and exercise routine. While I will not go into much detail, the five minute explanation is this. I usually run 3 times a week and strength training 1-2 times a week. If I’m fighting the usual 5 lbs, I drink green and dandelion tea, lots of H20, snack on protein snacks like almonds (not empty carbs like chips) and eat balanced meals like rice and chicken (or fish) with veggies. I go easy on the carbs but always make exceptions for the dark chocolate. Everything in moderation, as Granny used to say. It’s tough to say no to a run with THIS kind of view AND new workout gear from Nordstrom. Style note: I included the sizes I ordered. Keep in mind, you can order multiple sizes and easily return the ones that don’t work out. Nordstrom is known for its amazing customer service.

Now, it’s your turn, how do YOU stay motivated to workout?

I’m working with Nordstrom showing my favorite date night look. I found this under $200, ombré metallic dress from Topshop at Nordstrom. I happened to be wearing this dress when my hubby and I left the restaurant and were walking around downtown Pasadena. It was funny when 5 random people stopped me on the street to tell me how much they loved this dress and where’s it from. It’s funny, the pieces I’m usually on the fence on, usually end up being my favorite pieces! It’s no joke, Nordstrom always delivers with awesome date night dress options but great customer service. As for styling advice, do size up on the dress and add this moto jacket when the temps dip.

Don’t get me wrong, some of my favorite outfits are centered around a black moto jacket. However, I’m ready to ditch it for a hot minute while I try the tan version. I’m obsessed with camel, tan taupe, dirt brown, or however you like to call it. It goes with my ever-growing black-out wardrobe and looks great layered. Brown on brown, or dark brown on light brown, anyone? On this occasion, it was our day date; admittedly a rare occasion with work demands, late nights and let’s admit it, we’re just plain tired. So, we left the house for a date at Urth Caffé which included lots of coffee, boba, funky salads and some antique furniture exploring. Fun right? So, in between giving myself a break from the boyfriend cardi’s, and chunky knit sweaters, I’ll be wearing this tan version on repeat. ps. I just bought this cami to go underneath. Cheers to day dates, chillier days and lots of layers. Happy Fall!

The really great thing about colder weather is all that lovely layering you get to do. And seeing as I’ve accumulated quite a few lovely scarves, shawls and kimonos, I have some great layering pieces. My very favorite trick to accessorizing a cold shoulder or off-the-shoulder dress or top is a scarf or shawl. If I were to name one, this lace and fringe number works every time. It provides a whimsical flair to an evening out, whether that be a quick stop for boba tea or dinner at Gjelina. Wherever you end up, you’ll feel chic and sophisticated. Quite honestly, this off-the-shoulder/shawl situation may become my fall go-to … it’s that good.

Nothing says rule breaker quite like white-on-white after labor day. The monochrome look is surprisingly flattering and makes your accessories pop. And how cute is this lace up tied sweater? I’m obsessed.

I’m all about the simple #ootd. Let’s be honest, I struggle everyday to get four children out of the house for school, so I’ve been finding myself gravitating toward the simplest of pieces. Here, a shirtdress, faux leather leggings, and and edgy nude heels take center stage. It also happens to be just as appropriate for meetings as it is for date night. For the latter, I would add a suede jacket and lace up boot . After all, basics can very well be classics when paired well. As for the smiles from my little guy, I’d like to thank the dried mango and lollipops, not shown.

I’ll admit I have a leopard problem right now. I’ve got leopard coming out of my ears in the form of pretty pointed flats, sexy coats and pencil skirts. However, the moment you touch this soft coat, you’ll find a similar obsession at hand. I cannot wait to dress it down with cropped denim and a thin sweater. Maybe even these boots? After all, I’m pretty sure leopard’s a neutral.
