My Go To Retailer to Find Show-Stopping Fall Essentials

*Sponsored by Saks Fifth Avenue and ShopStyle.

My fall essentials are a solid mix of both high and low end pieces. But when it comes to a luxe, show stopping piece, Saks is always my first go-to retailer for beautiful, high-end pieces. Their fall collection right now is so good, with pieces at all price points, so I wanted to share some of my recent faves.

These boots!! I have multiple silhouettes by this brand (I wear this pair on repeat) and I will probably end up buying more before before the season is over. Great price point, especially for the quality.

PATCHWORK QUILTED COAT (WEARING SIZE SMALL)

WHITE KNIT DRESS (ON SALE UNDER $100 – COMES IN 2 COLORS; WEARING SIZE S)

**Friends & Family Sale happening now: 25% OFF* New Arrivals, 15% OFF* Beauty. Valid 9/29-10/4**

BOUCLE YSL BAG

BROWN LEATHER CROC BOOTS (ALSO HAVE/LOVE THIS PAIR – RUNS TTS – WEARING SIZE 8)

When I first saw this stunning coat online at Saks, I could not take my eyes off of it and now I can’t take it off. From the colors to the patter-play to the silhouette, everything about it is perfection. It ties blues, oranges, tans, pinks, and greens so seamlessly making this coat one of the easiest outwear pieces to mix in with the rest of your fall essentials. I love it layered over this sweater dress. It adds immediate wow-factor to an otherwise simple/cozy combo. I feel like this coat will be one of those heirloom pieces that gets passed down – it’s so unique in the colors/prints but the silhouette is timeless. Obsessed!

I’ve also had the biggest weakness for YSL bags this year. I’ve been pretty restrained as far as new designer bags in the last few years, so I have been breathing some life into my bag collection this year with a few stunning bags that make a big splash like this mini boucle bag and this leather & linen combo last seen here. I’m already envisioning wearing this boucle bag all fall and winter with everything 😇 it’s the perfect way to tie in a cozy texture to all my fall essentials.

Sharing a few more of my favorite Saks finds, from fall essentials to showstopping statement pieces:

1. LEATHER TOTE

2. PATCHWORK QUILTED COAT

3. OFF-THE-SHOULDER KNIT DRESS

4. CROPPED GINGHAM SHIRRED TOP

5. SUNGLASSES

2021 Style Guide: The Biggest Fall Trends Of The Season

The excitement of fall fashion is here and I’m loving some of the style forecasts for this fall. Some of my favorite trends of the summer like bright colors and retro pieces are carrying into this season too. From retro plaid prints and oversized denim to statement colors and oversized knits, I’ve picked out some affordable pieces to nail each trend with while staying on budget. Hope you love this style guide – and sparks some outfit ideas 🙂

RELAXED RETRO

Retro prints and oversized pieces are all the rage this fall. There are no rules when it comes to mixing looser and tighter pieces, I personally love the both top and bottom oversized suit look. Lots of 70’s plaid prints and 90’s vibes as well! I just ordered this ruched button down crop top (wearing size medium and under $25) and it’s so cute paired with these loose ribcage denim (wearing size 26.) I shared some other retro-inspired pieces I found on Amazon below too.

RUCHED CROP TOP (UNDER $25 – WEARING SIZE M) | LOOSE RIBCAGE DENIM (WEARING SIZE 26)

SOFT & COZY FEELS

These soft fabrics for fall give me all the feels! I love trends that are both comfortable and fashionable. I found so many cute sherpa accessories and like this sherpa bucket hat (under $20) and this sherpa tote bag (under $50.) Also this oversized reversible sherpa jacket (under $100) is so versatile to layer with other pieces or to showcase on its own over a basic neutral dress and tall boots.

SHERPA BUCKET HAT (UNDER $20) | SUNGLASSES (UNDER $15) | SHERPA JACKET

CHUNKY KNITWEAR

I love an oversized chunky knit sweater for an everyday fall look and they are so easy to dress up or down depending on how you style them. My new favorite outfit trends is pairing a cable knit oversized sweater vest over a large button up shirt and tall boots 😍 This one is under $25 and I’m wearing the medium size and this button up white shirt is a men’s shirt (wearing size XL and under $20.)

CABLE KNIT OVERSIZED VEST (WEARING SIZE MEDIUM-UNDER $25)| WHITE BUTTON UP SHIRT (WEARING SIZE XL-UNDER $20) | BLACK SADDLE BAG (UNDER $50 – LAST SEEN HERE) | BLACK BOOTS

POPS OF COLOR

Statement colors are one of the summer trends that are carrying into fall as well. It’s all about bright pops of color whether it be a bag, shoes, clothing, or even a makeup look. This summer I found this neon pink blazer (wearing size large and under $50) and plan on incorporating into my fall wardrobe as well. I also shared some other color finds below that are all under $100 and perfect to incorporate the color trend for fall!

DETAILS: HOT PINK OVERSIZED BLAZER (WEARING SIZE LARGE- UNDER $50) | PINK SQUARE TOE HEELS (UNDER $50) | BAG (LAST SEEN HERE)

Which fall trends are you most looking forward to?!

My Mani Photo Dump To Save To Your Nail Inspo Folder

My 2021 mani mood: more is more. More color, more graphic, more prints, more asymmetric, bold and statement. This year I’ve strayed from the simple, solid manicures and embraced all the color and nail art, and it shows. Throwing together a nail photo dump in case your needing some nail ideas!

COLOR BLOCK FRENCH TIPS

These color block nails were so fun and coming up with which colors to pair together made the process fun too! I was inspired by these colorful rings that have been on repeat lately for me. I love the look of layering chunky rings together, and this set here has tons of of colors to mix-and-match for under $15.

—

CHECKERED HEARTS

Definitely one of my favorite manicures was this checkered hearts look! The pink and orange combo was everythingg and I love how we made each nail a little different. I recently ordered this fun ring set (under $15) with cute flower and smile designs that went perfect with this nail look.

—

AQUA OCEAN

I loved the oceany vibe of these nails with the pale blue, light green colors, and wavy design with a gold accent. I paired this mani with some transparent blue and green rings from this set (under $10), so cute and aesthetically pleasing!

DETAILS: TURQUOISE RING (SET UNDER $10) | BLUE RING (SET UNDER $10)

—

COLORFUL EASTER EGGS

I got this manicure around Easter time this year and this design felt like colorful Easter eggs! I was so impressed with this all hand painted design and the combo of pastel colors is my favorite. I paired this mani with some gold rings and I still love this initial B for Beckam ring I got for under $10! This mani would be so cute paired with the colorful rings too.

DETAILS: CHUNKY GOLD RING (UNDER $10) | INITIAL RING (UNDER $10)

Which mani was your favorite?

I Couldn’t Help But Splurge On These Epic Fall Finds

Every once in a while I will come across something that I know I have to add to my cart, it stops me in my tracks and I’m all heart eyes! On my last fall order there were multiple pieces that were just too good to pass up – some splurge-worthy and some under $100 that look just as splurge-worthy. I’ve been finding so many steals on Amazon lately that I feel like a few splurges here and there balance everything out. Here are some of my recent fall finds – curious to know if you can spot the splurges and saves 🙃 if so let me know in comments.

THESE BOOTS OH MY WORD!!

CHAIN COMBAT BOOTS – I HAVE NO WORDS 🤩 | WHITE STUD RING (SET UNDER $15)

DETAILS: BLACK BODYCON DRESS (UNDER $100 – WEARING SIZE S) | CHAIN COMBAT BOOTS (TTS – WEARING SIZE 38 ) | INITIAL NECKLACE (UNDER $15)

I love a sleek black dress for everyday wear or a night look and this one is under $100 with such a cute neckline detail. I paired it with these splurge-worthy tan booties but it would be so cute with a pair of heels or even tall heeled booties to elevate the look. Throw on a trench coat and you’re ready to go.

DETAILS: BLUE RUCHED TOP (WEARING SIZE M) | BLACK LEATHER PANTS (UNDER $100 – WEARING SIZE 26) | SQUARE TOE SANDALS (UNDER $50)

Leather pants are a staple for me each season and this pair was under $100! The flare detail at the bottom is so on trend for this season and I didn’t have a pair like this at home yet. These pants will be so versatile and are comfortable enough to wear to the office or a night out. I paired them with this amazing blue ruched top, the picture doesn’t do it justice as real life – the color especially is so pretty! This blue top would be so cute with some denim jeans and neutral boots too.

DETAILS: BLUE PLAID DRESS (WEARING SIZE S) | BLACK BOOTS (WEARING SIZE 7.5 ) | 90S SHOULDER BAG (UNDER $50)

I’m obsessed with this plaid dress! The oversized sleeves and ruffle detail is soo cute. I paired it with these tall black boots and a cream 90’s shoulder bag (under $50.) This would be so cute for a dinner date.

DETAILS: WHITE COLLAR BODYSUIT (WEARING SIZE S) | LEVI DENIM (UNDER $100 – WEARING SIZE 26) | CHAIN COMBAT BOOTS | INITIAL NECKLACE (UNDER $15)

I found this white collared body suit and thought it was such a cute yet simple piece for fall and I’ll be able to wear it a ton. Its SO SOFT, I’ve worn it a couple times already.. Paired it with some classic Levi denim jeans that are under $100 and these gorgeousss boots that I fell in love with! The boots are definitely a bigger splurge item for me but I knew I would wear them a ton throughout the season. They also come in black.

DETAILS: WHITE COLLAR BODY SUIT (WEARING SIZE S) | RED LEATHER PANTS (WEARING SIZE 2) | TRANSPARENT HEELS (UNDER $50) | 90S SHOULDER BAG (UNDER $50) | INITIAL NECKLACE (UNDER $15)

The retro 70s vibe is one of my favorite fall trends for the season and I love these bell bottom red leather pants! They are such a statement piece and will be perfect for the holidays too. I paired it with the white collar body suit from above and a 90s shoulder bag (under $50) to really top off the retro look. My transparent heels are under $50 and they go with so many different looks, such a great purchase.

DETAILS: CREAM FRINGE SWEATER (WEARING SIZE S) | LEVI DENIM (UNDER $100 – WEARING SIZE 26) | GREEN LOAFERS (TTS – WEARING SIZE S) | WHITE STUD RING (SET UNDER $15) | MINI JACQUEMUS BAG

How do you guys feel about fringe? This fringe knit sweater is soo cute and another fall piece that can be worn so many different ways. I love the green color of these loafers and gold chain detail on them! This mini Jacquemus bag is the one I have in pink but decided to get the brown color for fall.

DETAILS: NAVY PULLOVER (UNDER $100 – WEARING SIZE S) | LEVI DENIM (UNDER $100 – WEARING SIZE 26) | LACE UP COMBAT BOOTS (WEARING SIZE 8)

This look is a casual everyday fall outfit for me. This navy pullover is under $100 and super comfy! I paired it with these Levi denim also under $100 and these cream lace up combat boots that can be dressed up or down easily! I’ll definitely be wearing them a ton this fall.

Which fall look is your favorite?!

This Is It: The Statement Layer I’ll Be Wearing With Everything

Layers add to any look and this comfy statement layer is giving me all the fall feels, I know I will be wearing it on repeat this season. It’s so versatile I pretty much had it on 24/7 this weekend while we were in Sun Valley, with leggings, joggers, jeans. I didn’t get great outfit shots of all of my looks but I wanted to share a few inspo looks for how to style this statement layer that you’ll want to wear all season long:

The details on this jacket are 😍 – so obsessed!

Obsessed with these Nikes!

QUILTED PATCHWORK JACKET

BLACK CROPPED TANK (UNDER $10)

BLACK LEGGINGS (UNDER $100)

NEON NIKES (UNDER $100)

SUNGLASSES

APPLE WATCH STRAP

QUILTED DUFFEL

This is a recreation of my travel style look for the drive up. Oversized layers with a cropped tank and leggings (these have pockets and love the material, especially around the waist) are one of my favorite travel style combos – super easier to wear and perfect to peel layers when you get too hot. I also always travel with an oversized tote or duffel (you can never have enough room for snacks, electronics, chargers, whether you’re flying or driving) and this is one I’ve had for years. The quilting is super lightweight and the strap is really comfortable, plus multiple pockets. Also have to call out these Nikes because I wore them all weekend too and still can’t get enough of the cool neon colors. Cody loved them so much he had me order for him too.

QUILTED PATCHWORK JACKET

BOUCLE SWEATER (UNDER $50) & SHORTS SET (ON SALE UNDER $25) – COMES IN 2 COLORS

BOUCLE YSL BAG

WHITE POINTED KNEE BOOTS

When in doubt, one of my favorite ways for styling a statement layer is to let it do all the talking. Keep the rest of your look simple, either with monochromatic colors or shorter hems so the jacket gets all the attention. Love a good oversized shirt jacket over a matching shorts set like this boucle set (top and bottoms both under $50). To keep it feeling seasonal, go for a tall boot. I’m in love with these gorgeous white heeled boots. 😍 So stunning and it will put any outfit over the top. Also a great way to transition a boxy, patchwork coat for a night out.

QUILTED PATCHWORK JACKET

WRAP SWEATER (UNDER $100 – COMES IN 4 COLORS)

QUILTED TOTE (ON SALE UNDER $50)

LEVIS

CHELSEA BOOTS

NUDE NAIL POLISH

I can’t count how many times during the fall I end up in a sweater, jeans, and boots. A good quilted, patchwork jacket is a great way to break up an everyday look. This one mixes prints and colors so seamlessly, so it’s easy to coordinate with lots of different color palettes and created a ton of visual interest for even the simplest looks. Love the way it pairs with this pretty quilted tote – couldn’t believe the price, especially now that it’s on sale!

QUILTED PATCHWORK JACKET

FLEECE JOGGERS (UNDER $100)

WHITE CROPPED TEE (UNDER $25)

WHITE SNEAKERS (UNDER $100)

Had to throw this one in there because we all know how much I live in sweats. 😂 I love how the casual statement layer works with these sweats, sneakers, and a cropped tee.

Sharing a few more of my favorite Nordstrom finds to style with this quilted patchwork jacket here. Let me know if you guys like seeing multiple ways to wear new pieces if you need more inspo.❤️

10 Top-Sellers & Most-Loved Fall Finds

Now that it’s September fall shopping is officially in full swing! I’ve shared some of my favorite fall finds and try on hauls with you guys and they are already some yours and my most-loved and top-sellers from last month so I wanted to put together last months most loved ❤️❤️

TOP 5 AMAZON FINDS:

5. INITIAL NECKLACE (UNDER $15)

My gold initial necklace is probably my most asked about and most-worn piece (I wear it day in and out, in the shower, the pool, to the beach – and I’m shocked at how well it’s held up!) It’s such a great jewelry staple and under $15!

4. SIDE SLIT OVERSIZED DENIM (UNDER $50)

These have been one of my favorite pairs of jeans – was honestly not expecting that with Amazon denim! I think with the oversized, looser trends it’s a little easier to get buy with budget-friendly denim since you don’t worry about how it hugs every curve. Love the length of these and the ankle slit – so good! I have both the charcoal and regular blue denim in size small. Not only are they comfortable but they are super versatile to dress up or down. Huge steal under $50!

3. OVERSIZED SWEATSHIRT (UNDER $15)

I’ve always loved my sweatshirts cozy and oversized so I couldn’t be happier that the bigger the better this season. This was a random ‘add to cart’ on Amazon and instantly one of my faves. I ordered it in XL for a super oversized fit and it’s so cozy. Under $15 and comes in tons of color options. I just ordered a couple more for fall since they are so cozy and easy to thrown on with biker shorts, sweats, denim, tall boots – they are going to be a huge trend this fall.

2. BLUE LIGHT BLOCKING GLASSES (UNDER $25)

My favorite blue light blocking glasses 🤩 I’ve had these for months and they are still my go-to pair. They are under $20 and I love the big round retro shape. I always bring them to the office when I’m looking at screens all day and when we travel, it makes such a difference!

1. STRIPED TWO-PIECE SET (UNDER $30)

This striped two-piece set was just as much my favorite piece from August as it was you guys. I got tons of DMs and comments and it’s really that good. I ordered it in pink and yellow too but they have tons of color combos, so it’s hard to choose. They make the cutest lounge/PJ set or a cute cover up for summer/beach trips. Runs tts – wearing size small.

TOP 5 BEST-SELLERS:

5. PLAID SHACKET

This plaid shacket has been a top seller two months in a row and is still one of my favorite fall finds. I love this jacket as much as you guys – so chic and super cozy too. I love the soft grey and camel tones together. I can’t wait to wear it a ton this fall and winter. The plaid is selling out quick so they also have it in a blue version here.

4. PATCHWORK SWEATPANTS (UNDER $100)

These patchwork sweatpants are so good and under $60! They are giving me all the Hailey Bieber vibes and perfect for traveling, errands, or just lounging around the house. (Wearing size small.)

3. RIBBED BIKER SHORTS

Biker shorts are often my go-to with an oversized tee for an everyday look casual look and even an oversized sweatshirt for the colder days. Can’t wait to start wearing them with oversized blazers and boots this fall! This pair is super comfortable and the perfect length – love the ribbed detail especially. (Wearing size small)

2. ADIDAS SNEAKERS (UNDER $100)

We are all huge sneaker fans and I’m the biggest sucker whenever I find a good pair in any of the kids sizes haha. I found these for both Beckam and Ollie and had to order – I’m obsessed with their matching sneakers…so cute!

1. NUDE PLATFORM BOOT

I’m obsessed with the ribbed sock detail on these boots and know that I’ll be wearing them a ton now that it’s fall. Light neutral boots are super on trend for this season and they are under $100! Such a perfect staple to add to your fall wardrobe.
