Baby It's Cold Outside: Faux Fur

1. River Island 2. River Island 3. Topshop 4. Choies 5. Boohoo

Now that the holiday season has begun, I can't help but to start thinking of the colder weather that should be fastly approaching. I have always wanted a fur coat but because I can't afford the real thing, I have been looking at some faux fur options. I love these coats because they are an automatic statement maker. You can wear with any simple outfit and your coat will do all the talking.

All the options shown here are less than $250 but look much more expensive. I can't wait to buy one and style through the winter!!!

10 Classic Fall Pieces

Fall is upon us and it is about that time to invest in your fall wardrobe. I believe if you invest in classic pieces, they will get you through season after season and year after year. So I have picked 10 pieces that will be worth the investment because you will be able to wear them for a while.

1. Steve Madden 'Margo' - These black strappy heels can be worn with jeans and a tee for girls night or a LBD for date night.

2. American Eagle Chambray Shirt - This will be your favorite denim shirt and everyone needs at least one denim shirt. The boyfriend fit of this shirt makes it a perfect go-to top.

3. TOPSHOP MOTO Ripped Jeans - Distressed denim can make any basic outfit look effortlessly chic. Wear these jeans with a printed tee and a blazer for a great look.

4. Forever 21 Faux Leather Tote - This tote is such a must-have for me. I always carry my life and more in my bag and this bag can help you stay in style while doing so.

5. TOPSHOP Hybrid Dress - The LBD is a must have in every wardrobe. I love this one because you can wear with a blazer for work and still wear for a night out.

6. Prada PR 29PS Sunglasses - A trendy statement pair of sunglasses automatically completes any outfit. I LOVE this pair because they are so unique but can still go with many looks.

7. Michael Kors Blair Watch - This watch is a classic piece that you can wear for years and years to come. It is the perfect piece to finish any outfit.

8. H&M Wool-Blend Coat - Finish any basic outfit with this powder pink coat. Sure to keep you warm and stylish this fall.

9. Frye 'Billy' Boot - Great boots are a must for fall fashion. I love this cowboy style because they are not your everyday pair of boots and I can wear them with almost everything.

10. Naked and Famous Skinny Jean - Appropriate for work, night out, or daily errands, I couldn't live without a great pair of black skinny jeans.

Bikers and Boots

My favorite season is upon is and its finally time for bomber jackets, biker jackets and boots. I think fall is my favorite season because you can really showcase your style with great pieces. Get a head start on your fall wardrobe with some biker and boot inspiration below. I have featured styles for the girlie girl, the bold girl, and of course your everyday girl. You can pair biker boots with leggings, short skirts, jeans, or shorts for a look full of style and attitude.

Slip-On Sneakers

1. Rivieras Classic Slip On Sneakers / 2. YRU Chill Slip-On Sneaker / 3. 10 Crosby Derek Lam Jared Slip On / 4. Zara Printed Slip On / 5. ASOS Dockland Plimsolls / 6. ASOS White Whiskey Plimsolls 7. Steve Madden 'Ecentrcq' Sneaker / 8. Kate Spade New York Delise Too Bow Slip-On Sneaker

The slip-on sneaker trend has been holding on strong for at least two seasons now and I am happy to see that it is here to stay for fall. They are perfect because they have a dressier look than your everyday sneaker but much more comfortable than a 4-inch heel. They come in different colors, prints and brands from Steve Madden to Prada to Giuseppe Zanotti. The pair I am loving right now is the 10 Crosby Derek Lam slip-on. I love the haircalf material in the checkerboard print. They are like the classic checkerboard Vans with a classier feel. 

Are you feeling the slip-on trend? Which pair are you loving right now?

Trend of the Week: Shirt Dresses

Trend of the week: The Shirt Dress

Whether denim, plaid, printed, or classic white; shirt dresses are a key piece in your summer/fall wardrobe. Pair your dress with stylish accessories like statement sunnies and a bold clutch to bring the dress from blah to chic. I posted different outfit suggestions for work,  date, or casual day look. I'm pretty sure my wardrobe will consist of a couple of these dresses for the fall.

Below you'll find some more shirt dress inspirations:

Happy Monday!!!!
