Fall Floral Prints

s

After spring and summer seasons filled with feminine floral prints, I am excited to report floral prints continue this fall season in fresh color ways and styles. I love the soft, romantic vibe florals create…they make me feel so pretty while wearing them. However, to keep avoid looking overly sweet, wear with denim, leather, suede and faux fur. The texture will create a nice contrast. Here are some of my top selections for fall floral prints.

s

s

s

This gorgeous Alice and Olivia Off-the-Shoulder Dress is a must in this pale aqua silk burnout fabric. Pairs beautifully with suede boots and a faux fur vest when the weather cools. Available at www.nordstrom.com.

s

This floral printed Zimmerman blouse is the dreamiest print. You can actually wear this piece in any season because of the semi-sheer silk fabric. It works with white denim during the summer and dark denim and a leather jacket in the fall. The metallic beads and tassels add a lovely touch. Available at www.intermixonline.com

s

This Haute Hippie cami is subtly sexy with the halter styling and lace up detail. It has metallic thread detail running through the print for a truly luxurious print. Available at www.intermixonline.com.

To stay looking stylish, try adding a piece with a floral print to your fall wardrobe!

Fall Vintage Prints

s

This fall, you will see gorgeous vintage prints as a trend…from high end designers to affordable fashion, these prints are present in most collections. They work well with denim, suede, leather fabrications.

Gesine from Mille Fleurs was kind enough to let my photographer, Eric Dunhill and I stop in and take some photographs amidst her lovely flowers. Mille Fleurs is a charming flower shop located in the 55th Street Station in Miami. I have received absolutely divine floral arrangements from Mille Fleurs and highly recommend Gesine for any occasion.

There are three pieces I believe are best suited for this vintage print trend and have featured a few of my favorites below.

Fall 2017 Trend Alert: Rich Red

Fall 2017 Trend Alert: Rich Red

I have been shopping lately and am absolutely inspired to start wearing all kinds of new colors and styles. While fall is approaching, it is still summer and the days are hot…I find myself torn between wearing beachy, all white ensembles and fall colored styles. Yes, I live in Miami where it is acceptable to wear summer looks year round. However, I grew up in the Midwest where there was a change in seasons..so as the fall months approach, I like to recognize the change in seasons by wearing fall colors, even if they are sleeveless. These rich red styles will make you feel confident your fall fashion is on point.

Worn alone or under a sweater or jacket, this Iro Ruffle Tie Front Blouse is a winner. This chic, yet relaxed, style incorporates lace up and ruffle details, making it the perfect top for meeting your girlfriends at happy hour. Available at www.neimanmarcus.com.

s

s

This gorgeous Black Halo Raven mini dress is the richest of rich red hues. The slit sleeves make this an excellent dress for transitioning into the fall months. Top this off with some taupe or brown suede boots or a chunky heel and add tights once the temperatures cools. Available at www.saks.com.

s

s

Perfect for occasions where you want to convey a more sophisticated vibe, this Iro Shavani Boucle Jacket is an easy choice. I layered it over my essential Joie Asier silk camisole. If you would like to style this jacket with a bit more edge, wear it with a graphic tee, black leather leggings and a chic pump. Available at www.neimanarcus.com. Camisole available at www.nordstrom.com.

Enjoy wearing these and other rich red pieces this fall!

Green Envy

As the days start to become a bit shorter, kids go back to school and vacations slow down…it starts to feel like fall is around the corner. Green is a key color this fall…from bright kelly green to deep forest and shades of olive, green is everywhere and the options are endless. It is a perfect hue to wear when transitioning between seasons. These Green Envy pieces can be worn now and into the fall season if you simply style them a bit differently.

s

This pretty Alice & Olivia crinkled crepe top dresses up when paired with a pencil skirt or down when you wear with your favorite pair of denim. The cold shoulder and feminine ruffles look fresh in this bright kelly green color. Available exclusively at www.shopbop.com.

Green is gorgeous in this bright floral printed Alice & Olivia Asymmetric Ruffle Skirt and paired with this porcelain Joie Celimene Silk Camisole. Once the weather cools, wear it with a sweater and boots. Top is available at www.nordstrom.com, skirt is available at www.neimanmarcus.com.

s

This ALC Micah silk dress is a deep and rich green and complements almost all skin tones. The wrap styling and v neckline creates a flattering silhouette and is a perfect dress to wear for work. Available at www.shopbop.com.

These green pieces and others will transition beautifully from the summer to fall season.

Bisous,

Spot On

Polka dots are a trend that I usually do not gravitate towards because they can feel dated. However, they have been a major trend for 2017 and I keep seeing styles that I want to wear. There are some gorgeous silhouettes…romantic, sophisticated, feminine and I am featuring my favorites below. Keep reading for ideas on how to keep your style spot on.

The Casual Top

A dream in detail…this beautiful and feminine Rebecca Taylor blouse is perfect for weekend wear. The black colorway keeps the ruffle and lace from being too sweet. It works with denim, black or white pants. Available at www.neimanmarcus.com.

The Romantic Dress

This flattering and romantic Alice & Olivia dress has elegant ruffles, a high low hem and tie halter neck. If you would like to give this a bit of edge during the fall season, layer it under a black leather jacket. Available at www.saks.com.

The Little Black Dress Edit

The Little Black Dress Edit

Little Black Dresses (LBD’s) are a staple in my and most of our wardrobes. They are timeless, elegant and flattering. If you are unsure of what to wear…there is a strong chance you may reach for a LBD. I have a number of LBD’s because there are a variety of occasions on which I may need one and I like to be prepared for any event. I have decided there are four primary categories that will ensure you are prepared for almost any occasion. They are listed below in order from the most to the least dressy.

s

A CHIC COCKTAIL DRESS

Cinq a Sept has a gorgeous collection of apparel and this Ellette Bustier Midi Dress is a perfect example. The scoop neck bustier design is feminine and flattering while the midi length is super trendy this season. The options are endless for how you can accessorize this…I kept it simple and understated with a J Crew rhinestone necklace and Prada clutch. Available at www.saks.com.

s

PROFESSIONAL AND POLISHED

In case you receive the call to interview for your dream job…it is essential to have something ready to wear. In lieu of pants or skirts, dresses feel professional and stylish and the same time. I like this tailored Black Halo Jackie O dress because it feels exactly like the name describes…a throwback to something the incredibly fashionable Jackie Onassis would have worn. Available at www.saks.com.

DAYTIME ELEGANCE

Sometimes you need something to wear during the day that is a touch dressy while still showing your fashionable side…maybe a shower or birthday luncheon? This L’Agence Rihanna Crochet Dress is just the right choice. The crochet weave and tassel detail make this dress casual enough for day time while the fitted silhouette and black/nude color combination make it just the right amount of dressy. Available at www.saks.com.

RELAXED AND ROMANTIC

If you happen to receive an invitation for an evening birthday party on a boat or a relaxed garden dinner, a black maxi dress is an excellent choice. The black color makes it chic while the maxi style keeps it nice and relaxed. My favorite this season is the Flynn Skye Bella Maxi Dress…the off-the-shoulder styling and high slit give it a touch of sexiness. Available at www.shopbop.com.

These four categories of LBD’s will ensure you are ready for whatever impromptu event comes your way!

The Summer Dress Edit

There is nothing prettier than a lovely summer dress on a hot day. Cool, breezy and chic, dresses are a summer wardrobe staple. They work for day or evening but you need a few different styles to ensure you have the right dress for each occasion. In the Summer Dress Edit, we focus on three different styles that will give you a tremendous amount of versatility so you get a lot of mileage out of these choices. Be sure to mix up your styling to increase the number of ways you can wear your dresses. You can completely change the look of a dress by wearing different shoes and accessories. Hope these styles give you some inspiration this summer!

s

Long & Romantic

This lovely Karina Grimaldi floral dress is lovely, romantic and versatile. You can wear this dress with flat sandals, a wedge or strappy sandals, depending on the occasion. The sexy peep of leg keeps it from being too sweet.

Casual & Elegant

It can be your secret…while you may be in a hurry, if you throw on an elegant day dress like this See by Chloe poplin style, no one will even know you were in a rush. This dress features nice details like a drawstring waist and floral cut out that creates a relaxed and chic option. Add fabulous sunnies and you are set. This season it can be fun to pair a casual dress with sneakers (see post Chic Sneakers for ideas). Available at www.neimanmarcus.com.

Fun & Flirty
