After a ruffle-white-clad summer, I’m all about donning the leopard and parading the bell sleeves. And did I mention, both pieces are under $50? Fall has me craving leopard styled with some of my favorite black pieces: black pumps and a classic mock neck. Furthermore, treat leopard like Kool-Aid – add lots of water (aka solid colors) if you want to play it down Jackie O. style. I prefer all black, denim or white! Last week, I had the privilege in between shows and meetings, a stop at the landmark Grand Central Station. It was a first for me and so iconic! The giant windows, the chandeliers and overall stunning room was breathtaking. One of the many reasons I love charming New York city, despite the humidity that killed my hair. True story.

Who doesn’t love a couple of Fall scores? I’m always searching for lace-up sweaters, durable (ahem, flattering) faux leather leggings, and lace up boots … all of which I’m wearing here. I’m always telling friends and followers that it doesn’t take lots of money to refresh your wardrobe if you invest in the basics. And this chunky knit goodness is under $50, leggings are under $100 and my (go-to) lip stain is $24. How’s that for Friday Faves?

Everyone needs a luxe piece that will upgrade any look. I could not stop wearing this one over fashion week. It went with everything and brought an edge to my usual black ensemble. I also like this suede over shirt under $200. A great piece for fall. Next post I’ll be sharing our routine. One of my most requested blog posts. Feel free to weigh in with your questions. Happy Almost Friday!

Who doesn’t love a peasant top that pairs easily with cropped denim and sneakers? Well, I’m loving 5, to be exact. See below.

Tank, flares and a hat are having a moment: 70’s inspired and still appropriate for that Indian Summer. I can’t wait to share more of my week here in New York for Fashion Week. Lots of meetings and shows. Let’s just hope the rain holds off. Meanwhile, shop the look below:

If I could give you any advice on how to dress in the most efficient way possible (i.e. the 5 min approach), I’d say dress like you pack. In other words, focus on basics, not outfits. And to expand on that idea, focus on one piece that inspires you. For me, it’s this bell sleeve blouse beautifully balanced with a bold suede skirt.

Coming from Chicago, I’ve always loved a versatile suede jacket and this one is no exception. I love it paired with a lace romper and pumps. (These flats from Nordstrom also work if you can’t walk in heels all day). Thankfully, if in between sizes, Nordstrom’s customer service is unparalleled, and returns are swift and easy. I just wish Southern California gave me more reasons to wear all my favorite jackets.

Thank you Nordstrom for partnering on this post.

  Off to pizza to celebrate the hubs before we leave for New York. But first, below are 5 patchwork faves from around the web. If patchwork booties aren’t reason enough to give this trend a whirl, the fact that it only requires minimal styling with a denim shirt or white tee should do the trick. Or in this case, I paired it with a dress vest. Violà, weekend ready!

There’s nothing like double flare for a dramatic entrance into the weekend. Don’t forget the hat (for bad hair days) and just the right sized weekender. All that’s missing is an Airbnb in San Fran and a trench coat if it rains. The countdown has begun.

 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.
