Polka Dots? Yes, please!

We just touched down in Cali! We’re in San Diego for a couple days because we’re going to the Breeder’s Cup at Del Mar racetrack and then we’re going to drive up the coast and spend a couple more days in LA. I’ve never been to California at all before so this is a definitely a treat! Be sure to follow along on IG and Instastories because I will be sharing lots of god bits from our trip!  We spent the day today wandering around Pacific Beach and La Jolla.  Not bad for a Friday! 🙂

I packed this polka dot dress to wear to the horse races Saturday so I thought I would share some pics with you all from the last time I wore it to a party during Fashion Week.  I think the print and the ruffle layers make it so fun and the deep v gives it a little sass. This time around I will be wearing it with the tie sash it comes with around the waist, but here I decided to pair it with a statement belt. && guess what, it’s under $100! [wearing an xs]

It would make the perfect little dress to grab for a holiday party!  I suggest swapping the statement belt out for the ribbon tie belt the dress comes with and adding a fun pair of red earrings.  You could stick with a heeled OTK boot or go for heels depending on how formal your event is!  ps, these boots are on major sale and would be perfect.

Happy Friday, babes! We made it to the weekend yet again. Have a good one. Muah!

YOU NEED A PAIR OF LOAFERS IN YOUR CLOSET

Turtleneck || Jeans, similar || Faux Fur Stole || Velvet Loafers || Handbag || Sunglasses

Sometimes I struggle with shoes to wear to work.  It’s hard to find a pair that is comfortable enough for all day wear and still on point style-wise.  I have a couple pairs of trusty ballet flats but as it gets cooler I find myself wanting something that covers up my foot a bit more for warmth and also to hide my pale feet a bit (since I usually only tan for the weekends).  So this year I set out to find a pair of loafers.

Last week I was browsing the Nordstrom site and came across these Sam Edelman loafers.  SOLD.  My favorite flats are Sam Edelman and they have held up great so I figured these would be a good choice.  And when I saw that they came in black velvet with silver hardware I almost couldn’t get them in my cart fast enough.  I think that combo makes them trendy, yet is still so classic.  I think these run true to size/maybe a tad big.  If you are in between sizes I would definitely go down.  [wearing a 7.5]

I plan to wear mine with black skinny pants to the office and with jeans in the evenings and on the weekends.  I have them on here with a pink stole (How fun?!), black turtleneck (Great basic! Wearing a small) and levi’s.  and I cant wait to wear them with my stripe cashmere sweater soon too.  I love how they will elevate a simple outfit.

If you are in the market for some loafers and want to browse a few more options then scroll through these picks:

Alrighty, and now it’s on to packing.  We leave on Thursday for our trip to San Diego and LA and while I cannot wait, I am also having a hard time squeezing everything in this week to get prepped.  So wish me luck.  HAPPY HUMP DAY!

BEANIE – THE PERF COLD WEATHER ACCESSORY

Moto Jacket || Turtleneck || Jeans || Sneakers || Beanie || Handbag || Sunglasses

I had been that girl complaining that the temps weren’t feeling Fall enough around here–until this past weekend that is.  It took a turn for the COLD and I dealt with it by pulling out all my favorite beanies.

I wore this look to grab coffee and then go to lunch with Ethan yesterday after we got finished with a shoot.  I had forgotten how cozy and warm a beanie can be!  Totally makes a difference when in the chill when it’s windy outside.  If you don’t have a couple in your closet then you should change that asap!  I can be pretty picky.  I don’t like slouchy ones and I always make sure they have a pom pom.  I get a lot of wear out of this nude one and I also keep a basic black one in heavy rotation.  && I have my eye on this one.  Might have to order it next!

Today is my Mom’s birthday!  HBD, Pam! 🙂  We are heading home to celebrate with her tomorrow night and then we leave for CA on Thursday so it’s going to be a busy week.  I can’t wait! Hope you all have a good one.  ps, I have a caaaa-ute pair of shoes to share with you all on Wednesday so be on the lookout!

A Sweater On Repeat & New Goodies

First off I want to share a few new bits with you all as promised on my Instastory.  I am dying over these velvet heels [runs tts and comes in blush & black] and this velvet top that matches them perfectly.  Also loving–these white booties.  Yessss!  And I think this lace cami is a wardrobe staple.  Essential for layering.  I also showed you all this necklace which is still in stock in green and these are the mules that I will be getting in the mail any day now that I mentioned.

&& on to this chenille sweater.  Which, yes, I have shared before.  But I just think it screams Fall and I have been getting lots of wear out of it so I wanted to give it another go.  Up until the last couple days, it has still been super warm here in KY.  So, last weekend I paired it with a mini skirt and these suede and leather black sneaks.  It would also be so cute to wear with flat OTK boots instead.

Most importantly–I just found out this sweater also comes in a black, grey & cream color combo.  DYING!

In short, I hope you all are as obsessed with chenille as I am because I cannot stop buying or wearing or sharing it!  Have a good week.  🙂

A touch of Leopard

Vest || Sweater|| Jeans [order one size up] || Sneakers [SO good, but order 1/2 size up] || Sunglasses || Handbag || Earrings

So, remember when I shared a couple of my latest purchases last week?  You can see the post here.  But this leopard number was included and I have to say, I ended up loving it.  It is a little more bold than what I usually pick up but when I saw the fur and the silver zipper I had to go for it.  It was time to add a little leopard back into the mix!  && I was so happy to see that J.Crew finally has some swoon worthy items back on their site.  I haven’t bought anything from them in years but I think they have made a little turn around and stepped up to the plate this year.

A faux fur vest is definitely something you should have a couple of for Fall!  I decided I wanted this one over-sized so I ordered up and I love the fit.  [wearing a small]  However, if I wanted more of a normal fit then an xs would have been plenty big so just keep that in mind.  It is 20% off if you buy today too–woohoo!  I am super tempted to get it in this solid color as well.  I die over that vivid burgundy color this season.

&& I love how it pairs with all the neutrals I wear!  I layered it with this super soft grey sweater here because, well, I haven’t taken it off much lately.  I am wearing it tons! [wearing US4 (0-2)]

Yesterday I thought it was Thursday allllllll day.  So, I am glad we’ve finally made it to Friday Eve.  Bring on the TGIT line up of shows!
