When investing in classic pieces, I always think neutrals are the way to go!  These items can all be mixed and matched to make the perfect fall look for running errands around town or a date night out. Some of these items I already own (and love!) and the rest are in my cart ready to complete my fall wardrobe!

I love that each pair of these boots can be worn with any of the looks and create a completely different look….which pair of boots here is your fav?  Number 4, 5, or 7?

Who else loves all the pumpkins at Trader Joe’s?!

Trunk is loaded…time to decorate the front porch!

Decorating for fall is one of my favorite things ever! Well holiday decorating in general! We love going to the pumpkin patch as a family multiple times each year, but sometimes it’s easier just to hit up the grocery store when you’re anxious to make your front porch feel extra festive!  I think everyone can agree that 😉 I stopped by TJ’s the other day after work and loaded my trunk with pumpkins. They have the best pumpkin selection and pumpkin flavored everything 😉

I have been really drawn to all black looks lately. I feel like the older I get the more I opt for classic pieces I can wear multiple seasons.. The outfit might look “fancier”, but keeping it all black and simple made is so easy and effortless to get ready! This comfy black dress, black bag and boots are quality staples that I know I will wear over and over. Just add a big cozy jacket to it and you are set for a chilly day! This coat is probably the softest thing I own, it’s faux fur which makes me really happy too 😉

Saks Fifth Avenue is having their major Gift Card Event!  From now until 10/26 you can earn a Saks gift card up to $700 (including beauty!) Just use the code OCT18. It’s the perfect time to stock up on some new staples and get gift cards in return for your next purchase!

Which easy everyday staples do you need to freshen up your wardrobe for fall? Would love to hear!

Hey guys! Cody and I are heading to Sun Valley this weekend with his family for his annual family trip! Monday is a holiday in Utah so we’re excited to get away and spend some time with the fam! I always procrastinate packing, but part of me secretly loves it. Today’s look is all about those 5 staples you need for your next weekend getaway.

1. A Graphic Sweatshirt. Always, always pack sleeves! Whether you get cold on the plane, tend to freeze in restaurants, or unexpected weather hits, you’ll never regret packing a good layer. I’m obsessed with this sweatshirt! You can wear it front or backwards for two completely different looks. It’s super comfy and has a really great fit, so you can dress it up with tuxedo pants and heels or add jeans and slides for cozy travel style. The sweatshirt is a little oversized so you can order your usual size for the boyfriend fit. (Also comes in a London print. 🙂
2. Scarves: A scarf are another piece that’s really versatile and can be worn in multiple ways. There are so many ways to incorporate scarves into your look, they are becoming a fast favorite! Worn as a headband or around your pony, tied at your ankle, as a bag accent, or around your neck, it’s such an easy way to bring more color or an interesting print into your ensemble. I can’t get enough gingham right now so I’m dying over this one!
3. Slides: I try to pack as much into one getaway as possible, so shoes that are easy to put on and slip off are a must (especially when it comes to airport security). These suede slides are such a simple and sleek style and go with everything.
4. Your favorite pair of jeans: When you are traveling, nothing beats being comfortable. I always look for a super stretchy jean and love these by rag + bone! I’m obsessed because they are so stretchy and I love the cropped hem since they work with sandals without bunching at the ankle and are great with over the knee boots. An oversized boyfriend is a comfortable option for traveling too – love this pair!
5. The perfect weekender bag to pack all your essentials. Love this black on black option – the black stripe is such a good detail!

Below are more of my favorites from rag + bone!

The post 5 Core Pieces to Pack for Your Next Weekend Getaway appeared first on Hello Fashion.

The Real Real makes the whole consignment process super easy. They send a full kit that includes a list of accepted brands, a form to easily list the pieces you are consigning, and a prepaid label for your shipment. They also set up a call to answer any questions or concerns you might have about the process.  (In some cities they have luxury managers there in person to guide you through the process.)

Honestly choosing what to get rid of is the hardest part. One helpful trick I used this round was if I didn’t wear it last year, I probably wouldn’t next year.  I did hold a couple pieces I guessed would circle back in style, but try to a very select few on those.

Below are a few of the items I consigned with links to posts they were featured in. You can see all my consignments here.

I’ve worn the wifey shirt on the blog before, so instead of a typical outfit post I thought we could have a girls moment. There’s nothing better than being married to your best friend, but that doesn’t mean you should always treat your significant other like a BFF. As time passes, it’s easy to get “too comfortable” and forget to keep things spicy. Remember the days when you first met and your legs were always shaved, you always tried to look cute, and you got ready like every day. Well fast forward a little and have an honest moment with yourself. We get lazy! So take a few minutes and surprise him with a little something something. Below are a couple easy ways to spice things up:

1. Sleep naked – Ditch the pj’s, there is nothing better than a little skin on skin.

2. Save water – shower together. Surprise him while he’s in the shower and hop in with him.

3. Do the dishes in lingerie (or any house chore!).

4. Close the door when you pee! Salvage some of the mystery and close the bathroom door.

5. Love your body. Be sexy and confident in your own skin. When your confident you always look more beautiful.

6. Kiss him like you mean it. We all have the quick good bye and hello pecks but stop and hold his face for a long one.

What are some of your favorite things for keeping your relationship exciting?

We are running a promo at ILY this week for 15% off apparel: CODE: ILY15.  You can see some of the shirts I’ve styled here: the birthday girl tee, wifey tee, and retail therapy.

Blush Sweater // Sheer Dotted Blouse (size small) // Black Leather Leggings (size down, run big – size 0) // Black Wool Hat (medium) // Black Watch // Quilted Over the Knee Boots (runs true to size – similar under a $100 version) // Rock Necklace // Cat Eye Sunglasses // Chanel Boy Bag (similar here)

Quick post today. Hope you all had a good weekend! Today’s look is about mixing textures: dots against leather, against fur, against quilted boots. The different shapes and textures help create dimension to the minimal look. You’ve seen a lot of these pieces in recent outfits, but they are all so versatile. I’ve really been trying to focus on buying pieces that can be worn multiple ways. I just got these leather pants and they are beyond comfortable, 100% worth the investment. This dotted sheer blouse is so perfect for layering (last seen in this post) and these boots are one of my favorite fall buys so far!

Below are a few more great layering pieces:

This “leopard is the new black” tee was one of my favorite purchases last week in Vegas. I also picked up this pink one and this super soft one. Graphic tees are just those easy pieces you can style with anything.

I can’t believe how fast Beckam is growing and changing. The last couple weeks he’s started touching everything and now when Cody and I hold him he’s always touching our cheeks and mouth observing everything we do.

I like to pretend I’m on time places, but 90% of the time I’m late, “fashionably late“. It’s something I really need to work on, it drives my husband crazy. Having a baby has only made it worse. In my head I think it only takes five minutes to get Beckam dressed, load the diaper bag, and buckle him in the car, and fifteen minutes later we are still not even out of the house. Weekends are the days I don’t feel guilty if I dilly dally and take my sweet time. They are the relaxed days we are rarely on a schedule and I can kick back in a oversized tee and comfy shorts and not worry about being on time.

XOX,
Christine

Grey Oversized Sweater // Zip Dark Wash Denim // Fringe Bracelet (obsessed! Got gold and silver)
How amazing is this sweater? I actually ordered all three colors, it is so soft and cozy. Typically I am a small in sweaters and I sized up to a medium to give it an oversized look. A definite Fall staple.

Faux Leather Jacket (under a $100) // Ivory Three Quarter Knit Pullover // Rag & Bone Denim
The detailing on these pants is great (kind of hard to tell in my camera phone pic 🙂 but they have 4 zippers on the top to give them that edgy vibe. I love the shade of the wash too. The lightweight sweater is a perfect transition piece for those days it’s still warm. I also sized up on this one and got the color cream cloud.
