If we are friends on Instagram you probably have seen a bit of a green trend happening in my wardrobe. I can't stop gravitating to this earthy color and have been loving it as my neutral for the upcoming fall season. Not only does it look great with pale pink, dark pink, rusty hues and golds but I just feel like it works it looks great on all skin tones. I rounded up a few of my favorites, some I have purchased and some are on my never ending wish list. What color are you loving for fall? Oh & p.s. I updated the "shop" with all new fall favorites, check it out!
I sort of hate myself for thinking of fall fashion when the summer season is still so fun and full of life. I honestly haven't picked up a single thing for the autumn but that doesn't mean my wish list isn't growing by the day. When it comes to dressing for the cooler weather I alway like to build my wardrobe on quality basics. Things that work well with one another, share a common color palette and that will stand the test of trends. A few of my favorites finds for the fall are below. What are you wishing for your closet come October?

A great blazer will get some serious wear before the cold weather really hits. It's a clean cut and so perfectly preppy with it's popped collar and rich navy coloring {several other colors available}.
When it comes to shoes, I tend to splurge a bit. I love a quality flat as they get worn the most with city living. I absolutely love a stylish flat in a sassy leopard print for adding a little pattern to a basic outfit. A great looking black bootie is also a must have for me, I adore the pointy toe on this pair. Finally the scalloped edges on this pump have me weak in the knees. I just love the sweet simplicity style of these suede babies. They look great with dresses, skirts, denim and so much more.
Accessories are my favorite things to shop for. Whether it be a great hand bag{my absolute favorite thing to buy} or some pretty jewelry, I always like to keep it rather simple. A gold hoop is my go to most days and when I want something more I'll add in a statement earring. A great watch is a must and a clutch in a fun pattern or print is a great way to elevate an otherwise simple outfit. Finally a stylish scarf to wear around your neck or tied to your bag and definitely don't forget to add some classic aviators for those sunny yet cool days.
Happy Friday friends...I hope you all are off to somewhere fabulous to enjoy the long weekend! We are staying in the city and will be taking it easy. While I love to be on the go, there is something so luxurious about a staycation, where you don't have to pack a bag and you get to sleep in your own bed. We may take a day trip somewhere in New England but basically we look forward to waking up late and deciding what to do that day. A real rarity for us {well for me anways who is a totally planner}. I put together a little round up of some of my favorite summer items to give your closet some love come the warm weather. Beneath that is a list of all the amazing sales taking place this weekend. Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Monday friends...While the skies are quite gray in these parts I have nothing but baby blues on my mind. On the rare occasions that I wear color I often find myself gravitating to soft colors and this mix of chambray and periwinkle fits the bill perfectly. Its so pretty in floral prints and is matches so well with grays, blushes and whites. I can't wait to add some of these pieces into my spring wardrobe that most definitely needs some work!
I don't know about you but once the holidays are over I get antsy for a warm weather trip. While I love that January is a more quite month with less plans and some good down time with my guy, I can't help but start day dreaming of a sunny vacation where a healthy rotation of piña coladas and lounging on a beach are the only things on the schedule. Luckily for us this year we have trip planned to the Caribbean next month with my entire family. I am so excited to celebrate my birthday with my favorite peeps and have started working on my packing wish list which will all be easy breezy beachwear like the looks below.
Putting together a gift guide for the ladies has to be one of the easiest to do. The options for us gals are simply endless. Whether you gift big or small there is something for everyone below and most items have a discount code you can use on them. You can find all of my favorite sales & shops here.
What lady doesn't love a little sparkle under the Christmas tree? This necklace is sure to impress.
I don't know about you but I find gift giving for the men in our life to be the most challenging every year. I dug deep this year in creating the gift guide for those fellas we love so much. Everything from a fun new tech gadget to a classic coat to keep them warm. There surely is something in this list for every type of guy out there. Happy Gift Giving!
Calling all Jimmy Fallon fans...this awesome phone case/pocket square is double duty gift giving and all sorts of awesome for those suit wearing fellas.
It's no surprise that I like me some neutrals. This becomes super evident come fall where I gravitate to great basics in my favorite color palette of black, tan and ivory. Last week before we left for Italy {more coming on that trip next week} we had some time in NYC where I spotted some very fashionable women all sporting chic basics that looked so effortlessly pulled together. So I did a little round up of a few items that I am currently coveting to build a wardrobe of classics that mix well with one another and will last beyond one season.
Every summer I anxiously anticipate our annual trip to the majestic little island of Nantucket. There is something so magical about this summer destination. I mean, almost every year we go something happens that would normally sour our mood {hurricanes, illnesses, swarms of mosquito bites and so on} and not once have we ever had a bad time. I look forward to some quality down time with my overworked husband and just enjoying the slower pace of life that the island has. My packing list is all casual attire to hit up the beach as much as possible with a few flowing sundresses for dinners out with my man and friends. I will be signing off for a bit and enjoying some time away from the computer but if you want to come say hi - please do so over on instagram!
Very early tomorrow I head off to celebrate my best friends bachelorette. Since she lives up in Maine we don't get much time together anymore so I am very much looking forward to catching up on our girl talk, laughing till our stomachs hurt and relaxing in some sunshine. While my laptop will not be making the packing list, the day and night looks below did. So until I return next week, I am going radio silent on my little corner of the blogosphere but you know me...I will of course be sharing some snaps of our travels on my instagram.
