Fall Fashion

Loving this reversible trench! It is gray and camel so it goes with everything.

I can remember being a college kid and trying to fit as much as humanly possible into my closet. 5 poorly made shirts for $20? Yes please. Even if I didn’t necessarily love something, it seemed like quantity of cheap clothes was the way to go.

 

Somewhere along maturity and my style evolving, I started noticing less and less in my closet, but not in a bad way. Instead of spending $200 on a ton of overly trendy items, I began saving that $200 for a quality pair of boots instead. Or a jacket I could wear all year long with multiple styles. Or, a personal favorite, quality textures like cashmere.

 

If you follow along on Instagram, you know I’ve been living in Fabiana Filippi, an Italian line of cashmere. It’s textures like this that remind me that the quality of what’s in your closet extends far past having a million things you can only wear once.

 

I think it’s actually one of my favorite lessons I’ve learned as an adult, and one I’m trying to instill in my children. Though splurges might seem heavy on the wallet, if it’s something that’ll last for years to come and can be transitional (and comfortable – huge for me), it’s always worth the money in my opinion. What are your thoughts on quality vs quantity?

I’m not sure about you, but I LOVE boots and LA’s version of winter, not the Midwest’s.  I like to ease into the chill with the option of driving 1 hour to the mountains. Can you relate? I recently found these boots that look like chic hiking boots. They were comfy as I wore them around Echo Park and a nice heel. What is your favorite cold weather outfit?

I recently came across these jeans as I was shopping for our big trip next month and loved the rips and price tag, under $80! Along with good rips, I thought I’d need a cozy cardigan for the snowy days Colorado is having. What are your favorite layers?

 

I recently did an Ebay campaign on instagram sharing my #Fillyourcartwithcolor. I gladly obliged to work with them since I’ve long been a customer and seller on Ebay. Who doesn’t the thrill of the find? Ebay has awesome finds from Chanel sandals to Burberry trench coats. I love what I have been scoring at Ebay lately. Just today, I found a Zara denim skirt I’ve been searching for – and its coming all the way from Portugal. So cool. Another find was silk curtains for our living room. All of this in addition to the Chanel sandals I’m wearing here and Burberry short trench. I did well yes?

What are you searching for?

 

See more Ebay finds here: denim, and Chanel and Burberry. As a tip, be as descriptive in your search as possible for a successful search. For example, use the words “size 39, Small Burberry Trench, Chanel size 39 or 3×1 jeans.”

Forward any questions. Happy Bidding and buying xx

 

Fall shoes don’t have to break the bank. That’s why I rounded up some of my favorites mostly under $200. Fall is a great time to transition to layers, knits and cozy cardigans but also must have boots, booties and knee high boots that will still leave you room for gifts for your mom for Christmas and beyond. Which are your favorites?

 

 

When I think about what I’m most comfortable in, denim, a graphic tee, booties, and a cool jacket is always a go-to combo. It’s easy yet fashionable, which is how I like to think of my style. Part mom, part fashion girl.

 

As fall rolls around, I live in that combination. I’m very excited for all things velvet this season, and as blazers are more popular than ever, I’ve had fun mixing different versions into my outfits. When I first saw this chartreuse velvet jacket, I fell in love, even though the color might seem hard to style. I’ve personally always been attracted to unique statement pieces, and a color like this fits the bill. Paired down with ripped denim and a neutral graphic t-shirt, and the outfit instantly becomes California cool – a vibe I’m always into.

 

And because I can’t get enough of red at the moment, I mixed in two splashes to make the look feel even more like me. Fashion is supposed to be fun, and I’m all about an unexpected combination – whether colors, prints, whatever. My black booties didn’t do enough to compliment this jacket, but the red ones made the entire outfit feel more edgy and cool. A very effortless “I just threw this on but it works” kind of look, right?

 

I’ve already talked about adding pops of red into your wardrobe, but don’t be afraid to mix it with other hard-to-wear pieces. And do me a favor and see how red looks instead of reaching for neutral accessories on autopilot. Sometimes meshing the unexpected is the perfect combination!

When it comes to getting ready, I keep two things in mind: comfort and style. As a mom of four, it’s common sense that I need to be able to run around all day, but I’m not one to sacrifice style while doing so (well, most days).

With fall slowly creeping in, I’m officially pulling out the fall wardrobe staples, including these børn boots. They’re perfect to pair with dresses and skirts for this seasonal transition that we’re in, at least in LA, and I’m looking forward to wearing them over jeans and leggings once it truly cools down.

I especially love the lived-in color these have. And with the heel being pretty small, I can honestly walk for miles and still feel comfortable. Expect to see me in these throughout 2018!

See more Børn shoes from Zappos HERE. I just love how fast the shipping process is and the friendliest customer service. I mean, how good is their selection. I can get kids rain boots and the hottest boots for myself, all in one site at Zappos.

What are you excited to wear this fall?

Happy Humpday! 2 days till Friday, yay! I’m super excited even though Friday will just be a normal day, I’m happy to report this week is flying! Some of you  may already know, but Shopbop usually has a great end of summer sale and it is HERE! In the past, I’ve gotten a black leather jacket, a new pair of jeans, cute booties for fall and grey OTK boots I kept eying. As a tip, it is worth it to splurge on the investment buys – items over $500 that you will wear over and again and again, making the cost per wear well worth the splurge. I can attest to this fact by the countless times I wear my Stuart Weitzman boots. If you follow me on Instagram, you know how much I love them. Don’t forget, the sale goes from September 27th to the 29th. What are you stocking up on this fall?

Jeans

Shoes (from must-have flats to red boots)

Accessories (from bags to earrings)

Sweaters and Tops (essential fall layers)

P.S. As always, my shop page is open 24/7, and I’m thinking of doing a theme shop page to organize denim and tops and trends. Let me know what you think!

I love a versatile sweater like a good mocha. Here I styled it as a tunic but it can also be worn as a dress. As a note, I would size up as this runs small. If I wore this as a dress, I’d size up, to avoid it being too short. With my 5′ 9″ height, I usually have to size up. however, as a tunic, I love the cozy feel (it’s crazy soft) and extra material. This camel color also compliments scarves, a black trench and faux leather leggings underneath. Cozy is the name of the game. I’m so ready for fall and this week has felt like it believe it or not! I’m not really into pumpkin spice lattes (PSL’s), so the kids and I have been drinking more tea and adding a cardigan in the mornings and evenings. Definitely a welcome change. It’s your turn, what’s your favorite thing about fall?

One of my favorite things to do lately although it sounds strange, is be alone. I have so much noise going on around me from emails, to phone alerts, to yes, children screaming, to conference calls, etc, so a coffee break alone is sacred. While I’d like to say I’m menu planning here for the week, I’m not, lately I’ve been catching up on emails and planning some really fun content for you guys in the months to come. Meanwhile, this booties are from the Italian Giusti sisters hailing from the lovely land of Italy called AGL shoes and I’m pretty sure I will wear them dressed up or down and mainly just VERY often because I’m obsessed. Perfect boot for rips and knits. I also included below some great rag & bone jeans (the brand I’m wearing) on sale! Ok, back to my mocha.

Happy Thursday 😉
