Fall 2017 Outerwear Edit

s

‘Tis the season for layering up. Now that fall is in full swing, temperatures are dropping and staying warm is top priority. Since I live in Miami, I typically do not need a lot of coats except when I am traveling and I usually wear something basic and black. However, I have been seeing a number of fashion forward coats this season and am highlighting my favorites below!

s

s

Since I love all things blush and all things Joie, I could not resist this long car coat. This versatile piece can be worn over dresses for nights out or with jeans and a tee shirt for casual days. The color is flattering on almost all skin tones and the nice wool fabric will keep you warm. Available at www.joie.com.

s

The perfect coat to wear while grabbing coffee with friends. This faux fur coat may not work for the coldest days of the year but is the perfect piece for those times when you need a lighter option and don’t want to sacrifice style. Available at www.nordstrom.com.

s

s

Classic and covetable…this Iro leather biker jacket is a staple that will last for many years. This beautiful silhouette comes in a several colors but I love the softness and versatility of this taupe hue. Available at www.netaporter.com.

Fall 2017 Sweater Edit

It is sweater weather..even here in Miami and I am excited to start wearing soft and cozy styles! Growing up in the Midwest, I am accustomed to seasons. While I am happy with our sunny skies almost 365 days a year…I do miss the fall season from time to time so, when the weather cools, I like to start layering up. These pretty options are sure to add some newness into your sweater rotation.

Lightweight Weekend Sweater

This lightweight Cupcakes & Cashmere sweater is a fall favorite…I love the feminine colored palette and soft open yarn. It is perfect for casual weekends at home with the family. Available at www.nordstrom.com.

The Sweater Dress

This rich green sweater dress has a luxurious vibe between the soft hand and cable pattern. It has a funnel neck, fitted waist and dramatic dolman sleeves. I like to wear it with neutral colored suede boots…tall or ankle length. Available exclusively at www.freepeople.com.

A Classic Cashmere Sweater

Sometimes I want a sweater that makes me feel feminine..which can be a challenge when trying to stay warm. This off-the-shoulder cashmere sweater manages to do both between cream color and cashmere yarn. Available at www.clubmonaco.com.

These cute and cozy loungewear looks will make you want to stay home and relax.

It does not get much cozier than this…I have this sweatshirt in black and cream…I love the dramatic sleeve detail. It is actually an amazingly versatile piece..I also wear it with jeans, boots and a scarf. With flare leg pants being a key trend, I was excited to find these flare leg lounge pants for casual wear since I already own a ton of leggings. Both pieces available at www.freepeople.com.

I could wear this outfit every day, it is that comfortable. This Sunny Rose Sweatshirt and matching Sunny Rose Jogger Pants can be worn together or mixed and matched with other items in your wardrobe. Trust me, you wont want to take them off. Available at www.bloomingdales.com.

Our fall photoshoot was shot at MC Kitchen in the Miami Design District. I was inspired to shoot there one evening while dining on their absolutely delicious Wild Salmon Crudo, Bibb Lettuce Salad and Center Cut Swordfish.

They also have a charming cafe next door with delectable coffee, pastries, salads and sandwiches.

Fall 2017 Color Crush: Midnight Blue

As referenced in yesterday’s Fresh Fall Nail Colors post, I am loving anything that is a rich midnight blue this fall. I like using it as a neutral as it works with a variety of colors, prints and patterns. My favorite way to wear it is to pair it with black or head-to-toe. I hope these three looks inspire your midnight blue shopping selections.

Since Fall is officially in full swing, it it time to update everything…clothing, accessories and now nails. If you are looking a quick and easy way to update your fall look, try one of these fun nail polish options this season.

This luxe dark red is a fall staple and it is my go-to neutral for fall. I like Zoya nail polish because it is formulated without formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, dibutyl, phthalate, toulene, camphor, TPHP, parabens, xylene, ethyl tosylamide and lead. While I may not quite understand the disadvantages associated with all of those ingredients…I do feel better using a brand that does not contain them. Available at www.zoya.com.

Zoya “Darcy”

This sunny yellow shade is surprisingly prettier than you may expect and complements many of the warm tones that are popular this fall season. Available at www.zoya.com.

Velvet Crush

Velvet Crush

s

Velvet is one of the major fashion trends for Fall 2017. It is available in every silhouette imaginable…tops, jackets, coats, dresses, pants, shoes and handbags…you get the idea…everthing. This luxurious fabric is perfect for cooler temperatures and the rich texture gives colors an added level of depth. I always like to wear velvet in darker colors because it creates a deep, beautiful sheen. While velvet could be tough for warmer climates, I am excited to share some of my favorite pieces that will work well in a variety of climates.

s

This relaxed velvet jacket from Equipment is a fantastic little number that will last for many seasons to come. This chic belted style layers beautifully with tees, tanks, blouses and lightweight sweaters. Available at www.netaporter.com.

It is pretty rare that I wear things quite this sexy, but Michelle Mason offers an amazing collection of fashion forward tops and dresses. Sooo…when the occasion calls, this Michelle Mason Asymmetric Velvet Dress is a must. While the sleeves are bare, you can just throw on a leather jacket when the weather cools. Available at www.fwrd.com.

s

s

The perfect option for warm climate residents…this velvet L’Academie x REVOLVE cami is an excellent option for fall evenings. I wore it with denim…it also works well with leather, tweed or silk pants and skirts. Once the weather is cooler, just top it off with a jacket, cardigan or coat and you can wear through all of winter. This top is also offered in a gorgeous midnight blue. Available at www.revolve.com.

Hope this gives you some new styling inspiration…I would love to hear about your favorite pieces in the comments below!
