Fall Essentials Part VI: FOUR Looks Showcasing Ponchos and Loafers

We’re running out of time this Fall and I’d hate to have you miss out on two of my favorite staples this season – loafers and ponchos. There’ve neverbeenso many ways to incorporate these two into your daily routine. They’re perfect casual wear, but can also be dressed up with the right accessories. I’m going to show you how to take these pieces and transform them into four looks that have me feelin like Fall can’t end just yet.

Fall Essentials Part V: Bold Lips

I received a couple questions about the look I wore in my Chicago post, so I’m keeping this one short and sweet and just linking the details below!

I hadn’t planned on doing a style post on this look, so this photo is the closest I could get to the details. This is my mid-sentence-freezing-without-my-coat-for-the-mural look.

P.S. does this bold lip not scream F A L L?

What are your favorite fall lip shades??

Fall Essentials Part III

I recently came across local artist Caitlin Jepsen, of PNTD PRNTS. Her work is creative, edgy and fun. Not only can you purchase her artwork to hang, but she has transferred them to apparel as well! As a lover of style, I strive to find unique pieces and it doesn’t get more unique than local art! I’m wearing her cropped ‘Screaming Girl’ tank, which goes perfectly with this week. Please head over and check her out!

In other news, it’s getting colder, which means my outerwear is getting thicker. I’m a sucker for a cozy jacket and the bomber is the perfect fit this Fall. Pull up any site and there you’ll see a page (or five) of these bomber beauties. Naturally, I want every single one (stay tuned for my post dedicated solely to the bomber jacket).

Makemechic was nice enough to send one my way and it’s only $36! It runs super big, the size pictured is an XS and it’s still oversized, but it works. Link below!

Fall Essentials Part II: Florals

I started the Fall Essentials series last week (don’t forget to go back and enter the GIVEAWAY) and am so excited to share with you another of my Fall favorites. Florals are always in style, spring, summer, winter, and especially Fall. All the leaves are changing outside so why not match your look with mother nature.

Whistle & Wild is a fairly new boutique, established in 2016, and it is hitting the ground running. Owner, Amanda, combines her Southern influences with city flare to provide unique styles that have you filling up your cart FAST! I got this adorable lightweight Poppies Forever tunic and I can’t stop wearing it! I grabbed another Whistle & Wild piece that I CAN’T WAIT to share with you!

I also have to share this Free People hat that’s on killer sale right now!

Fall Essentials FT. JORD Watch GIVEAWAY

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Fall is my favorite time of year. Main reason: LAYERS. The cooler temps in the morning have you wearing your latest poncho or bomber jacket while come afternoon, you’re stripped down showing off your favorite sleeveless shift dress. Scroll down for the first looks of the Fall Essential Series! It’s a great time for accessories as well because you aren’t sweating more with every bangle or necklace you layer.

Speaking of accessories, JORD Watches were kind enough to send me one of their handcrafted time pieces for this season AND allow me to host a GIVEAWAY (stay tuned to the end of the post for the link). This Zebrawood and Champagne timepiece is from the Frankie series – the natural wood and the neutral face are everything I dream of in a Women’s watch (check out their Men’s shop here). These pieces are all handcrafted from natural wood, so no two are exactly the same. Not to mention they size it for you, so no nonsense included.
