CHANNELING JESSICA ALBA

If I could have one celebrity's closet, it would have to be Jessica Alba.  I love, love, love Olivia Palermo, Taylor Swift & Sienna Miller's styles but Jessica Alba has the most perfect casual street style.  She always looks so effortlessly put together and chic.  (Can you tell I have a huge girl crush going on??!)  I saw a super similar look to the one I am wearing on Jessica Alba and knew that I would be able to recreate it with pieces in my closet.  I am loving the way this look turned out & it only takes 4 easy pieces.

 Jessica Alba is a known jean queen in the style world, but I love how she switched up her basic skinny jeans and wore a paired of coated leather jeans.  I love wearing my black leather jeans during the fall/winter.  They are perfect with chunky knits or lots of layers.

An anorak jacket is a must have style right now.  I usually wear mine as a raincoat, so it was fun to style it for a sunny day as part of my outfit.  

As the weather cools off, I like to swap my statement necklaces for fun scarves.  In this look, I took two lightweight scarves and wrapped them together to create a unique and fun fall colored scarf look.  (Not to mention, 2 scarves keeps me warmer than 1!)  



I planned to wear my SJP red pumps, however the fall leaves everywhere have been  super slippery, so I have been looking for a sturdy heel that is easier to walk around in, but also super cute and polished!

BUNDLED IN NAVY & BURGUNDY

Burgundy & navy are 100% two of the colors that I wore most this season.  I have worn burgundy booties, burgundy dresses and a burgundy skirt as well as styled a navy look for work, a navy wrap dress and a navy sleeveless sweater.  But the one piece that I have felt has been missing from my closet all season is a pair of navy booties.  Finally, today, my closet is complete (at least for this week) thanks to these cute boots from Skechers!

THANKSGIVING OUTFIT IDEA

 

Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday! I love seeing my extended family and spending time together.  Not to mention, I love any holiday that revolves around food!  As with any holiday, I like to dress up a bit more than I would on a typical day, but since this holiday is mainly about food & family, I look for an outfit that is super cozy & comfortable.  A bit of stretch to accommodate my after dinner food baby doesn't hurt either ;)

FRINGE, SUEDE SKIRT

 Last week, I attended the first of many holiday parties to come.  This one was a stunning dinner party hosted by Simon Malls & Vogue. Every corner of the venue was totally Instagram worthy so I needed an outfit that was just as fun and fabulous.  

I have been waiting for the perfect occasion to wear this suede fringe skirt and last week's dinner was finally it.

CLEAN RADIANCE

 A few weeks ago, I talked about some new products that I started using to keep my hair healthy during these next few cold months and then I realized that really my favorite hair product is one you can pick up at almost any Walmart location: my Goody Hairbrush! (palm to forehead smack)



I recently got Goody's newest hairbrush the Clean Radiance, which massages the scalp and enhances shine as you brush.  No matter what 'do I am creating in my hair,  a great style always seems to start with a great brush.

I wear my hair down and wavy ALL the time, but when I have some extra time in the mornings, I do like to try some easy styles...especially braids.  SO today I am sharing one of my favorite short hair braided styles with you all!

SHIRTDRESS STYLIN

I have talked in the past about how much I love shirt dresses as quick go-to outfits when you need to get dressed & look presentable in a hurry.  Wearing one on it's own all summer was great, and just because it's getting colder, doesn't mean you have to store your shirt dresses away until next year.  By switching up the styling, you can wear your shirt dresses all year round.

The simplest way to wear your shirt dress during the cold months is to add layers.  This particular look is perfect for dinner, a date night or even a holiday party.  Adding a leather jacket, scarf and tights will keep you warm, but then you are able to lose the jacket & scarf and show off the great pattern of this shirt dress. 

Another great idea is to remix the dress as a new piece.  By adding a pencil skirt on top of the dress, it becomes a faux feminine button down top.  This is the perfect look for a 9 to 5 work day. 

Lastly, for a more casual weekend look, toss on the shirt dress over jeans and a tee shirt.  Leave it open so it looks like a duster style jacket.  This look is off duty cool with a pair of sneakers and a chunky scarf.

FALLING FOR FLARES

The 70's continues to be a huge trend into the fall and while I love boho dresses, it's getting a bit chillier around here these days.  I've had to get a bit more creative with how to incorporate those 70's vibes into my looks while layering up and keeping warm - boho felt hats and flare jeans have become my two go-to 70's style fall items.

EVA MENDES COLLECTION

Designer collaborations have always been exciting to me.  I loved shopping Phillip Lim for Target, Lauren Conrad for Kohl's and Kate Spade for Keds, but none excited me more than when Eva Mendes first released a collection for NY & Company. 

Last week, NY & Company launched the newest Eva Mendes Collection just in time for the holidays.  The collection is full of clothing and accessories in rich jewel toned colors, feminine floral patterns and sophisticated styles.
