Fall Style and Trends-The IT List

Every year as the September Issues hit the stands, I realize it’s a little bit like Christmas. I can’t wait to get each issue and comb through the pages. The ads are extra beautiful, the issues super thick with content, and overall filled with the excitement of Fashion’s biggest season. There is something so wonderful about a fresh start and an update to your day to day look. (Personally, I find the crisp beginnings of Fall way more of a reason to start new than January 1.) This list compiles a few of my favorite trends for the upcoming season - whether you’re shopping designer or high-street these are everywhere. My favorites include velvet & lady-like block heels. Bring on the cooler temps and shopping sprees!- Faith

How To Style A Denim Skirt from Summer To Fall

When the denim mini skirt began to make a comeback I started having vivid flashbacks to the early 2000s aka Paris Hilton style denim - uber low cut, distressed, and all in all about six inches of fabric. While some of the styles have a distressed vibe this time around, thankfully they are a million times more chic. Paired with the right pieces the denim mini is perfect for a weekend trip or even casual Friday at the office. Above are two ways to wear the skirt - showing how to transition it from your summer Saturday look to your Fall casual Friday favorite.” - Faith

10 Investment Pieces Every Woman Should Own

Happy Friday! Last week I met with a new client and we pulled together a wish list of around 10-15 items that are missing from my client's wardrobe. What I have found is that many of my clients are missing the same types of items. So today I am sharing a list of 10 investment pieces every woman should have in her wardrobe. These items can be used to create endless outfits and are a great foundation to build your wardrobe. 

1. Tailored black blazer. This can be a classic blazer but depending on your lifestyle an edgy moto jacket or leather jacket are both great alternatives. 

2. Statement scarf. This season a leopard or floral print is on trend but even just a classic solid is perfect. A scarf is a great way to elevate and complete your look. 

3. Chic pair of flats. These can be loafers, classic black flats, or have fun with it and go for a bold red pair. 

4. Little black dress. Everyone needs one fitted black dress that they feel fabulous in. 

5. Beautiful timepiece. A watch is a great way to dress up an outfit and perfect alternative to wearing bracelets. 

6. Striped shirt. Usually we see a classic white button down on these types of lists but I like a striped shirt as an updated alternative. Pair is up with a blazer, jeans, and flats for a great look that is sophisticated and put together. 

7. Dark wash jeans. These are universally flattering-just pick a style that works best for your body type. 

8. Investment handbag. Check out more style tips about what type of bag to invest in here.

9. Jewelry you never take off. These are your 1-2 signature pieces that you were all the time and they are timeless and have special meaning to you. 

10. Classic trench. This is one item you can keep in your wardrobe for years to come. You can wear it throughout the year and it works well with jeans and dresses.

Hi everyone and happy Friday! Are you as ready for the weekend as I am?

On Monday I started Kayla Itsine's BBG workout and it's been amazing to take my workouts more seriously, get back in shape, and challenge myself in new ways. The workout program is intense and I have literally been sore this entire week. I am looking forward to resting this weekend and maybe squeezing in a massage for my sore muscles! 

Also just as a reminder it's the last few days of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale so be sure to check the sale out for some great fall pieces. 

Favorite Pieces From Club Monaco

Recently I have found so many fabulous neutral and transitional work pieces that will carry me right through the fall season and they are all from Club Monaco. My favorite new purchase is definitely this red Averie moto jacket. It's a great statment piece that can be paired with dresses for work or more casually with jeans and a tee. I love how it is slightly boxy, has a soft edgy look, and has a great drape.
