And now on to the Vince Camuto finds! They’re going to be featuring some great fall basics. My favorite things so far are these booties. There are a couple ankle cut suede options I have my eye on that I know will go perfectly with so many things in my closet. I’m also loving a pair of peep toe booties, which I think are the perfect transition shoe to take you from summer to fall. You’ll also see some beautiful handbags in darker colors, which of course is ideal going into autumn and eventually winter. What pieces are you looking to add to your closet for fall?

TEDDY COATS (check out this one under $65!)
PLAID COATS
LEOPARD COATS I love how a leopard coat can give an LBD or simple gray dress a chic edge
Whether you’re a leopard, plaid, or teddy coat type of girl, get them while your size is in stock and available. And if you don’t already know, my shop page is open 24/7. Happy weekend!

1. Sweater Dresses are so essential for fall. I love them layered!
No matter what you call it, camel, caramel, stone, or tan, I’m loving it for fall. To the tune of wearing it from top to bottom.
When camel tones are worn from top to bottom, boots to coat, the impact is that much greater.
2. Every girl needs a camel coat. I have a couple and in different lengths.
3. Camel Boots are so flattering since they are the closest shade to the skin color. I love them pointed or with ankle detail.
1. Oversize blazer (I’m wearing a small)
2. White tank (get it in black too!)
3. Distressed denim shorts (I’m wearing a size 27)
4. White Bella Band (I have in both black and white!)
5. Tan Booties in caramel suede (they’re 40% off!)
I’m also wearing the following: Aviator sunglasses // Belt bag // Drop earrings
Nordstrom always seems to nail it. I was looking for an oversize blazer over jeans, and distressed shorts and I found it all online at Nordstrom.com! I was so excited to share it with you. Also, if you’re on the lookout for denim shorts that are a good mom length, these are it! As for the white blazer, I got a small and it fits perfectly over the bum. So flattering. As a disclaimer, with 4 kids and a 36 week belly, I’m no stranger to stains. To be honest, I usually bring a tide stick with me. If you’re as crazy about oversize blazers as I am, this plaid one is equally stunning. Speaking of belly, try this bella band if you’re pregnant and wanting to still wear your pre-pregnancy jeans by covering this clever band over your denim zipper. Genius!
More Plaid blazers
While in Lake Arrowhead last weekend, I wore this blazer over this dress and got tons of compliments. And yes, if you’re wondering, I’m wearing all the white after labor day. No rules ladies. Wear what you like, and if you want to feel EXTRA in white, use this self tanner.
Happy September!

4 Things you need for fall
This look is the perfect combination of something unique like the Ann Howell bag and all my closet basics. And speaking of basics, Nordstrom has the best options—I’m loving these Gucci loafers, long tunic, flattering jeans, Bella band, and mom-friendly bag slash backpack. Nordstrom is always my go-to for quality basics like these, awesome customer service, and options for curbside pick-up. The latter of which I will probably use when I have a nursing baby!

I once again feel drawn to this gorgeously basic, wannabe neutral, leopard! It’s one of those prints that is timeless. I have a cardigan from LOFT I’ve had for 4 years and I can’t seem to give it away. Hence, this post. If you follow me on Instagram, you know I love this leopard coat I’m wearing has been a favorite. Especially paired with a graphic tee, red beret and kitten heels. If you get anything this fall, make sure at least one piece is leopard. Be it an accessory or top or heels. As a styling tip, while I would NOT wear this print top to bottom, rather it looks best sprinkled into your wardrobe. Try it and let me know if it upgrades your chic.
Happy Friday!
The temps are all over the place in LA, but when things were cooler last week, I had the pleasure of pulling out some fall favorites. Including this Frye poncho and Frye booties. Both have a Western vibe, which I think we’ll be seeing a lot of this fall. I like how this style looks slightly different than something like a cardigan and round-toe booties. It feels fresh for fall, you know? Frye is always great at keeping things classic with a twist, and I’m happy to add more of their staples to my closet.
I kept Western flowing with a belt and hat, but added some black jeans and fun fish net socks for a touch of whimsy. All Western wouldn’t have been me – I had to add some edge.
And if you aren’t familiar with the setting of these photos, let me introduce you to LACMA – one of my favorite Los Angeles locations for shooting or hanging out. There are 202 lampstands in this “Urban Light” art fixture, and the kids and I love it. It’s these unique landmarks that make LA feel so cool, and we come here often. If you’re ever in town, I recommend stopping by or shooting here. It makes for great photos.

Red and camel are one of my favorite color combinations. Reid’s aunt gave me a vintage camel coat and I couldn’t get enough. This combination is so classic and camel seems to highlight most colors like red. Notably so, this sweater is under $40, so don’t feel badly about this impulse purchase. I don’t think I’m the only one who is having the hardest time not buying all the sweaters. I wish my girls would wear them because they look so cute on them with leggings. As I write, I’m wearing one and sweating, ha. Gotta love SoCal Winters. Since red sweaters are so essential and you probably own or should own at least one this holiday season, I rounded up 5 red sweaters under $168.
Happy Weekend!

I can remember being a college kid and trying to fit as much as humanly possible into my closet. 5 poorly made shirts for $20? Yes please. Even if I didn’t necessarily love something, it seemed like quantity of cheap clothes was the way to go.
Somewhere along maturity and my style evolving, I started noticing less and less in my closet, but not in a bad way. Instead of spending $200 on a ton of overly trendy items, I began saving that $200 for a quality pair of boots instead. Or a jacket I could wear all year long with multiple styles. Or, a personal favorite, quality textures like cashmere.
If you follow along on Instagram, you know I’ve been living in Fabiana Filippi, an Italian line of cashmere. It’s textures like this that remind me that the quality of what’s in your closet extends far past having a million things you can only wear once.
I think it’s actually one of my favorite lessons I’ve learned as an adult, and one I’m trying to instill in my children. Though splurges might seem heavy on the wallet, if it’s something that’ll last for years to come and can be transitional (and comfortable – huge for me), it’s always worth the money in my opinion. What are your thoughts on quality vs quantity?
