shoe diaries

During the Norstrom Anniverary sale back in July, I stumbled across these Sam Edelman beauties and instantly fell in love.  Burgundy has been the reigning queen of fall colors the past few seasons and a shoe seemed the perfect addition for my fall wardrobe. Well good news my friends, these…

anthro sweater sale

If there was ever a store I wanted to move into and never, ever leave, it would be Anthropologie. (They tend to frown upon stalkerish loitering. Not that I know from experience or anything.) (Call me, Anthropologie.) My reasons are varied and numerous, including everything from the smell (how do they make…

moto + combat

One of my favorite fall trends is the moto and/or combat boot trend.  I mean, we all know that I have a totally freakish slight and completely normal obsession with boots.  And these are the kind of boots that will make any outfit look stylish.  Plus, they’re probably just scary enough…

I’m on a faux leather kick this week and today I’m sharing this fabulous bomber jacket from Anthropologie.  At a price point under $200, this vegan leather bomber jacket, is the perfect addition to your fall and winter wardrobe.  Treat it like a denim jacket and pair with jeans for…

denim and leather

Hell just froze over.  I’m actually wearing a faux leather skirt and even worse – I like it. My first thought when leather reemerged on the trendy fashion scene was “no way, I’m too old”.  Leather pants and skirts are for women in their 20’s who don’t have kids.  I…

I recently spoke to a fabulous group of ladies about fall fashion and was surprised to learn that so many of these stylish gals did not wear scarves.  I was shocked.  I assumed that scarves were the staple of cold weather accessories in a women’s wardrobe.  Well you know what happens…

how to wear a hat

Hats can be intimidating.  I mean, tossing on a baseball hat is no big deal, but when it comes to an actual FEDORA? Unless you’re a pop singer from the early 90’s, you might be a little scared. But hats are having a MOMENT. And they can be amazing.  Because A)…

the shirtdress

Remember this post?  It was my polite nod to mother nature giving her a hall pass for the warmer temps even though I couldn’t wait to wear some of my new fall purchases. Well…that was over a month ago.  My politeness is now turning a tad bitter and I’m kind of ready…
