Fall Fashion 2020

Ahhh one of my very favorite posts that I do every year! FALL FASHION! The best time of the year!

This year, I decided to break my Fall Fashion trend list into two parts.

Part one

To be honest, I really don’t like the heat that Summer brings as I once did. Give me all the layers and chicness that comes with Fall! So let’s talk about my favorite trends. Be warned these are my favorites. As always I say, stay true to you and don’t wear a trend just because it’s “in”. At the same time don’t be afraid to experiment with something different. If you hate it, forget it. Here are my front runners for in my opinion, the most anticipated season of them all.

1. Ruffles

1. Honestly, this is one of my favorites. It’s such a simple elegant look. Pair a white ruffley top with just about anything and you’ve got an elevated look. Dress up denim or complete a dressy look with satin pants. You really can’t go wrong. Want to kick it up a a notch? Rock it with a vest!

2. Speakeasy Fashion

3. Plaid Suits

I’ve talked before about how I love to style a lingerie look but plaid suits are major right now too so I mixed the trends. I’m loving the combination of feminine and masculine for this one! How can’t you kick ass in a power suit? Also, it’s not fall without a hat. Haha!

4. The Cropped Pullover

The crop top got a makeover and I am here for it! There are so many cool ways to style this and I’m pretty much in love. Think about the summer things you can throw one of these on over! Favorite bodysuit, band tee. You name it. Don’t be afraid to get creative with this one. Also, think stay at home style. Cozy and chic.

I’m just dying over this “Ultramarine Green” from the Fall 2020 Color Palette.

8. One Shoulder Dresses

I’ve always loved a one shoulder look and one shoulder dresses were all over the runways. Christian Siriano had the most gorgeous powder pink metallic dress on his runway and I was obsessed. It had one shoulder and a high slit. That was my inspiration. Never heard of him? Look him up his gorgeous gowns are worth the Google.

9. Ruffles Black Tulle

This 2020 we are in is sooo serious. I’m thrilled that tulle specifically black tulle is major right now. It adds some much needed fun to the year! Pair a tulle skirt with a sweater to make it Fall appropriate.

How amazing are these Fall colors?! I’m so in love!

As always thank you for stopping by and tune in for part two coming soon.

Have a fabulous Monday!

Finding Your Style

“How would you define your style?”

I was once asked this in an interview and it kind of stumped me. I’ve often thought about that question when I look in my closet.

I can say I’m a Gemini through and through so one day I’m likely to be head to toe in black and the next bright colors everywhere! So, how you "find" the style that feels the most like you? This past Spring I did a massive closet purge of things I’ve been hanging on to for the last decade. It felt amazing to make more space and let go of some of those dreadful pieces. But when you’re “finding” your style so to speak, where to start? I’ve come up with five easy ways to really feel good in your own skin and clothes.

1. Find three adjectives that you feel defines the type of clothes you gravitate towards. For example mine are: glam, edgy, and bold.

2. Have a few celebs that inspire you and who's style you love. I'm a huge fan of Olivia Palermo and Blake Lively. 

3. Let go of anything you think you "should like" but don’t. I’ve said this a million times, if you don’t like a trend don’t wear it. And never feel bad for liking a piece. It’s so important to be true to yourself. Your fashion and style should always be evolving just like your personality, life, and mental state. Always getting better so I believe your style should too. Get rid of those old things that just don't suit "you" anymore.

4. What are three pieces you feel comfortable in? Pieces that just plan make you happy. For me, a cape, high waisted pants, and a bodysuit of some kind. Oh, and I love a vertical stripe and I’m always more comfortable in heels but that’s just my vibe.

5. I’ve saved the best for last. BE YOU! Make no mistake, I’ll never suggest you be anything other than yourself. This is so very important. Let your freak flag fly!

These tips are just what worked for me. Hopefully they help add some sparkle to your own style!

Here’s to a new week ahead, a fresh start, and possibly a new way to look at your style.

Thanks for stopping and happy last Monday of July!

Keep It Fun

Where do you find your style inspiration?

Everyone has a favorite show and it really isn’t much of a secret that mine is Gossip Girl. Blair Waldorf is my all time favorite tv character. Now, the show started in 2007 and ended in 2012. That’s a lot of different fashion trends in those years. The fashion is one really good reason to watch the show. It’s amazing! I feel a lot of times fashion can be so serious. This is a friendly reminder to make sure you’re always keeping it fun and finding inspiration in different places.

My own personal style is more edgy than Blair’s, but I still add a little of her into some of my looks. This year very Blair looking headbands came back into style. So that’s an easy one. But, I think my very favorite thing about her style are her infamous Pussy Bows! I have a lot of tops that have them and sometimes I add them myself with a skinny scarf. My top is very, very, Blair as she loved a frilly sleeve.

I hope you have a great week and remember to keep it fun!
