November is here, guys, and you know what that means?  The holidays are coming!  Now, while I’m holding off on decking the halls so far (Eric says not until after Thanksgiving, bah humbug…), I think it’s never too soon to plan a little holiday style.  And today I’m kicking things off with the perfect look for a holiday-themed night with the girls.  If there’s one thing that I think my wardrobe always, ALWAYS needs, it’s a great pair of leather shorts.  I’m sure that sounds at least a little bit crazy because leather shorts probably aren’t considered a wardrobe staple for most people, but I’m obsessed.  A couple of weeks ago I finally had to retire my beloved Forever 21 pair that I’ve worn 4,789 times (with heels, OTK boots, sandals, with tights, you name it), and so the hunt for a replacement pair was on.  Luckily, the search didn’t last long.  I popped into the BCBG store while I was in Vegas a couple of weeks ago, and scooped these right off of the sale rack.  Now I’m passing on a little bit of the good luck to you because these babies are on sale online as well and still in stock in most sizes.  But don’t wait around, because I’m sure they won’t last long.  For a girlfriends’ holiday party, pair them with over-the-knee boots (and tights if it’s cold enough), a pretty little tie-neck blouse, and a fun coat or jacket.  This one from cabi is a total fave – it’s like a classic pea coat, but it’s made of thick, cozy sweater material.  A sparkly little handbag (like this one that’s currently 60% off) adds the perfect finishing touch.  Ready or not, the holidays are coming, girl, so you might as well get your wardrobe ready!

And fast forward back to now, when I found myself roaming on in to the spankin’ new Cole Haan store.  Y’all, if you have not had your toes in a pair of Cole Haan kicks lately, then I beg you to go give ’em a whirl.  The sneakers, loafers, and booties were cushy and so well-made, and I especially couldn’t get over how comfortable their heels are.  Walkin’ on a cloud, I tell ya.  And the drool-worthy picks don’t stop with the shoes.  I mean, will someone please buy me this buttery little crossbody?  The leather handbags and accessories are pretty killer, and the outerwear is comfy as can be.  Plus, the store is just plain dreamy.  You kind of want to go and kick back with one of the giant coffee table books in there.  I’m not entirely sure if they’re cool with that sort of behavior though, so don’t go in there and tell them I said that.  Do however go up in there and try on a few pairs of shoes.  These sneaks are currently at the top of my list, and I’ve got a hot date with South Coast Plaza to make it happen.

Want to bring that favorite little white dress from spring into the fall?  Just layer it over a snug-fitting turtleneck, and then add a coat and your favorite boots.  It’s easy peasy, and in case you haven’t heard the word, those old “white after Labor Day” rules are long gone, friends.  And while we’re on the subject of fall coats, allow me to introduce you to the best fall coat I’ve found in quite some time.  THIS ONE.  When I first saw it, I thought well that’s cute.  But then I put this little pretty on and completely fell in love with the fit.  It nips in just perfectly at the waist and is made of the best stretch ponte fabric.  It hugs my body perfectly and is SO comfortable.  (You know those heavy wool coats that you can’t even move in?  Just say NO.)  I’ll be wearing this jacket all fall long with dresses, jeans, and leggings (let’s face it, mostly leggings).  After about three seasons, I think that it’s sadly time to retire my favorite over-the-knee boots, but no fear, my dear.  I ordered a new pair (or three) during last week’s Shopbop sale and am just waiting to get those babies in.  All of my sale goodies should be arriving just in time for some Las Vegas shenanigans with my fave gals this week.  Can’t wait to take you guys along!

Another day, another lace dress for fall.  Y’all, I can’t stay away from little lace dresses this season, and this one just moved to the top of my list.  My favorite part?  The extra long sleeves which is a major trend this season.  (Just remember to roll them up when you’re eating – trust me, I almost had a sushi slash soy sauce disaster in this dress.)  The high neck balances out the short hem, and I couldn’t help pairing this LWD with my favorite snake booties of the moment.  And the little red handbag – isn’t she cute?!  I have a major thing for Zac Zac Posen bags, and this one is no exception.  ANNNND lucky for us, Zac Posen is celebrating #NationalHandbagDay  today by giving away one of their amazing bags.  It’s an Instagram contest, so head over to my Instagram to find out how you can win one of your own.  Good luck, friends!

Mixed Prints for Fall

While I’ve been a fan of mixed prints for a while, these days I really can’t get enough, and I’m blaming it all on these shoes.  In my mind, they go with everything.  In the easiest black and white pattern, it’s so easy to mix and match them with other prints and patterns in my closet like this black and green cabi blouse.  And don’t even get me started with the sort-of matching little crossbody that adds so easily to the mix.  Both the heels and the bag are part of Trina Turk’s newest fall collection, and I seriously can’t even count how many more pieces I’m eyeing.  It’s.  So.  Good.

But don’t take my word for it – come on into Trina Turk tonight to take a little look for yourself and find your own new favorite mixed prints.  Tonight I’m so excited to be attending Style Week OC and hosting a little in-store shopping party at the Trina Turk store in Fashion Island from 7 to 9 pm.  There’s a runway show at 6:30 and four other bloggers hosting in-store events at four different stores, so I really do think it’ll be such a fun night.  If you’re in the Orange County area, I’d love for you to come by and say hi!  Looking forward to meeting everyone there!

It’s here, it’s here, New York Fashion Week is finally here.  It’s one of my favorite weeks of the year, and I can’t wait for all of the fashion, the food, and mostly, to see a few of my favorite faces from around the country.  I’m currently headed to the East Coast to meet up with my #NYFW partners in crime – Jenn, Kathleen, and Krystal – and hope that you’ll follow along on the adventure over on Instagram.  What’s in it for you, you ask?  Giveaways, guys, giveaways.  Whaat?!  Yep!  The gals and I are teaming up with a couple of our favorite brands to give away some of our fashion week essentials, and the first one goes up tonight.  Are you following along yet?

Now onto today’s look and my new favorite fall romper.  Generally I’d say that rompers are reserved for spring and summer around here, but this one totally changed my mind.  I love the dark floral print and long sleeves for the coming months, and the best part?  This one comes in petite, regular, and tall sizes.  Tall girls rejoice.  I’m wearing it in tall, and it’s so perfect for someone with a longer torso like yours truly.  Also pretty sweet?  It’s currently on sale and will set you back less than $50.  Need I say more?  I think not, so don’t miss out.  Get yourself a fall romper, girl!  And then head over to Instagram because I’m serious – you don’t want to miss out on tonight’s giveaway.

Oh hi, friends!  Guess who finally recovered from the 4th of July?  This girl right here.  Whoo, America’s birthday really wore me out.  But I’m back in action and headed down South for a high school girlfriend’s wedding, and I’m pretty excited.  Bring me all the Southern food!  Hopefully it isn’t a thousand degrees in Louisiana, but I’m not getting my hopes up.  I’m planning for the heat stroke ahead with light-as-a-feather dresses like this one.  It’s seriously breezy and dreamy and under $20 – in the suitcase it goes.  Is there anything better than an affordable summer dress that you love to wear?  Nope.  See you in the South, guys!

Just barely Monday morning, and the post-weekend blues are coming in hot.  Anyone else wishing they could hit snooze a few hundred more times?  Uh huh, join the club, sister.  If you’ve been signed up with LiketoKnow.it, you may have noticed that you’ve stopped receiving the emails associated with it.  (And if you haven’t signed up yet, what are you waiting for?  Sign up here.)  There have been a couple of changes to Instagram lately, and with those changes, your LiketoKnow.it account needs to be re-authorized.  But don’t fret my pet, it’s a breeze to update.  All you have to do is head online and log into your account.  And don’t forget – you can always manage the settings in your account so that you receive the LiketoKnow.it emails ASAP, daily, weekly, or even never.  So in case you missed these over the past couple of weeks, today I’m rounding up a few recent Instagram shots and showing you where to get the goods.  From a cushy new bedroom rug to the comfiest pair of skinnies and even the brightest set of kitchen bowls, these are a few of my favorite things this week.

Happy weekend, friends!  Today I’m channeling my inner Sporty Spice and getting down with the athleisure trend for a little weekend wear.  Is there anything better than a t-shirt dress?  The answer is yes.  A t-shirt dress with pockets trumps pretty much anything.  Throw it on with sneakers and a jacket from three years ago that you’ve worn 467 times.  Also, this bag.  Y’all, it’s under $100, but it feels SO nice.  I’ve been scootin’ around town with this bag all week because it fits all my stuff and is just plain cute.  Anyone else feeling extra ready for the weekend?
