 Although there’s little to no transition in seasons here in SoCal, we’ll be the family pretending with a trip to the pumpkin patch and pumpkin spice lattes. I’m told the latter really works in getting on that “fall mood” despite the 88 degree temps. If you’re wondering how to make this outfit work for legit cooler temps, think long blazer and black booties. Easy as (pumpkin) pie.

We’re off to the beach today to complete our summer bucket list, but firsts things first. I’m showing another way to wear your jean crops a là bow tops. The new proportions for fall are ultra fem and I’m a fan. Taking us from day in night in flowy tops and exposed ankles. If you don’t happen to have cropped jeans, get out your scissors. Happy F r i d a y.

What were your last google searches?

healthy lunches for kids, bell sleeves, and flights for (NYFW).

How did you start out blogging?

I took selfies and flat lays of outfits over naptime. It was a total creative outlet.

Favorite new discovery?

Clarisonic. I brought home the Mia 3 from New York and I’m obsessed. So are my kids.

Favorite new lip stain that’s 100% pure? 

100% Pure lipstain in pomegranate. It’s been great for my sensitive skin and dry lips!

Most understated wardrobe ESSENTIAL?

The blazer. It’s an instant tummy tuck, face lift to a tired outfit, and fastest way to elevate jeans and loafers. I like this oversize boyfriend version.

What do you like most about your job?

So many things from styling, traveling and to meeting people, but most of all that I get to stay home with my kids and still work in fashion. That’s a dream come true.

When do you go back to New York? 

In less than 2 weeks for fashion week. I need to catch up on sleep now! Yeah right.

Fall’s most wanted?

Anything leather, suede or chunky knit. Stay tuned for more fall faves.

I’m all about white after labor day – and especially if it includes ruffles and a tie. Dress it up or down with a distressed jean or leather jacket. It’s all about options. Even though we have the beach with friends and a pool party planned for the weekend, I plan to wear this for a short date night. And did I mention, it’s on sale for $160? Run, don’t walk.

The one item that is always on my must buy, must stock up, and must pack list is stripes. I happen to love them just as much on my six year old. Maybe more so. Paired with suede, jeans, or tough girl leather, you can’t go wrong. To be honest, sleeves are waaay to hot for NYC, but come next month we will be ready for them.  So ready.

What a whirlwind of trip meetings and get-togethers.  THE TIME HOTEL was central and gorgeous; there was great service, yummy room service breakfasts for when you run out of time (um, everyday), and a sleek design. And don’t forget to try Serafina Restaurant on the first floor. Thankfully I was back just in time to play tooth fairy, share pictures and let my littles unwrap touristy NYC key-chains. Their favorites! Next time, NYFW! Check out what I wore and favorite places I went below. Feel free to add your own.

THE TIME HOTEL :: great central location to shows and Midtown meetings.

IRVING FARM COFFEE ROASTERS 71 Irving Place, so quaint and great for meetings.

TACOMBI NOLITA 267 Elizabeth St, the cutest Mexican on Elizabeth and they use organic ingredients! I got their margarita with extra salt.

LA COLOMBE SOHO 270 Lafayette, I just love SOHO! This was a fun stop for cold brew.

This week has been a full one. Lots of changes getting ready to start school and tackling the challenge of ending our three year-old’s thumb-sucking habit. Our littlest is going though letting go of his thumb sucking habit. Honestly, so hard, but he’s three and it’s time. Disclaimer: the following tips are not fool proof, I’m not a doctor, and you need to do what works for you and your family. So, here’s my tips!

Tips for your toddler trying to quit thumb sucking

            1. Positive reinforcement – verbally reinforce how big a boy he is for not sucking his thumb. And if he/she has siblings, tell them to join in the encouragement.
            2. Watch a video about it – You Tube has some great videos for kids.
            3. Extra comfort– lots of hugs kisses – because you’re asking him to let go of a comfort … so give him lots of comfort and treats! My little guy loves mints, figure out his/her favorites and keep them on hand.

As for what I’m wearing, here are 4 boots, I recommend for fall NOW:

1. low bootie VINCE CAMUTO wear now and later with rompers and skinny jeans. repeat.

2. tall boot MATSON KNEE BOOTS I can’t wait to pair with a suede skirt

3. chelsea boot STEVE MADDEN a classic with great height and tone.

4. Everyone needs a wild card. This fringe boot from TOPSHOP will look great paired with culottes and cropped jeans.

Sometimes the perfect ruffle LWD needs nothing but the simplest styling: cargo jacket, red bag, and nude lace ups. And if you’re a busy mom like me, you swap out the heels for sneakers  with a LWD to chase the toddler, and still look chic. Even after labor day.

If you know me well, I’m not huge into overalls, but I made an exception for these flared, über flattering version I paired with an off-the-shoulder top, clogs and a small tassel bag. What do you think? A 70’s upgrade to a classic farmer’s bibs. I guess you could say I’m converted.
