Rodan + Fields Night Renewing Serum

Currently, these are a few of my favorite things. First and foremost, if you are a book nerd (like myself) you HAVE TO order or pick up #GIRLBOSS. I read this book in two days and felt like I could seriously take over the world after reading. It's awesome!

I'm loving the new fall colors Gigi New York has out now. This kelly green clutch is gorgy and if you sign up for their newsletter, you get 10% off! I obviously also suggest getting a gold monogram.

There is a good chance you will see me wearing my Steve Madden leopard calf-hair pumps, Michele watch and green Ray Bans ALOT this fall! These gems are the perfect items to have year round and can all be accessorized for fancy or casual.

Last but most important are my beauty loves. I recently became introduced to OPI's My Vampire is Buff.  Such a great nude! I used the shellac version and am obsessed! My face is wrinkle free thanks to Rodan + Fields Night Renewing Serum aka miracle serum. These tiny capsules are filled with retinol making your face feel like silk while smoothing out fine lines and making wrinkles vanish....I won't ever do without. I figure if this is good enough for Jennifer Aniston...it's good enough for me.

Oh and pumpkin spice lattes are now available!!!! If this isn't good news I don't know what is!!!

Hope everyone has a fabulous Labor Day weekend!  



Bootie-licious

 

**Click on images above for links!

 

There is nothing that tops off a fall look like an amazing pair of booties! Skinny jeans, skirt, dress and even distressed jean shorts can look even better when you have style on your feet.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE a thigh high boot but booties tend to make your legs look longer and are most times more practical.  I am really into the open toe and fringe booties this season and together the two are dynamite!  I wear booties year round so don't think of them as being a one-season shoe when they are actually a versatile investment :)

 

 



Fall Favs At Banana

1./2./3./4./5.

 

 

 

Yesterday I went in Banana and OMG! Of course my eyes were drawn to every stitch of leather! You guys have no idea how badly I am wanting fall weather!! The first item I tried on and LOVED were the Sloan-Fit leather Ankle pants (#3 up top)...TO DIE FOR! Leather in front and black Sloan pant in the back complete with ankle zippers. I can't wait to pair these with a cream blouse or graphic tee and booties! (NOTE: due to leather front, you may want to size up in these beauties.)  I definitely encourage everyone to head on over to Banana ASAP to gather up these goodies...shop now online with code: BRBALL for 35% your purchase! I may need to go back today!



Around Town

jeans: Gap / tee: Southward Apparel / heels: Piperlime (old) / bag: Tory Burch (old) / sunnies: Fendi (old) / earrings: Kendra Scott / Necklace: Anthropologie (old) / bangles & ring: David Yurman / watch: Kate Spade / lipstick: MAC lickable


This is honestly one of my favorite looks. This outfit can go casual to evening chic with just the change of some accessories and foot wear. To make this a little more casual, I would throw on my black Chuck Taylor sneakers or a pair of casual wedges. These Gap legging jeans are AMAZING and I actually cut them myself (my first DIY project!)..no need paying $200 + for the J Brand pair! This tee from Southward Apparel is SO comfy and cool. It looks adorable under a boyfriend blazer with layered necklaces. You could actually wear this outfit any season by adding a jacket or changing heels to booties. I plan on making this work all year long! 

What I Wore Wednesday

 

 

 

top: Anthropologie (on sale!) / jeans: GAP / wedges: Michael Kors (old) / earrings: Kendra Scott / ring & bangles: David Yurman / watch: Kate Spade / sunnies: Versace (old) / clutch: Gigi's New York

 

 

This is without a doubt one of my favorite combinations to wear from summer into fall. I love the lighter fabrics with the pop of color from accessories and shoes. If you have not been to Anthropologie lately then head out the door NOW! Best sale of absolutely gorgeous pieces! I also live in these legging jeans from GAP...seriously own about 8 pairs in different washes. They have just the right amount of stretch. I am crushing on this entire ensemble b/c it is so versatile and can be dressed up or down. Today I made it a little more casual with wedges and minimal jewelry, which is perfect for shopping, brunch, or even evening patio cocktails with the girls.  Hope you all enjoy and have a great Hump Day!

TIP OF THE DAY: If you are a frequent Nordy shopper like me, it's smart to get a Nordstrom debit card. This card works exactly like a Target Red Card and goes directly out of your bank account as if you were using a check/debit card. THIS IS NOT A CREDIT CARD. By using this card when you shop at Nordstrom or Nordstrom Rack, you will receive reward points (that lead to Nordstrom reward cash). Click here to start reaping the benefits http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/rewards-cards?origin=footer

Football is in the air! It may be crazy hot for the first home game, but I am SO excited to see that beautiful sea of orange! To get you "tailgate ready", I have listed some items that will make you look football glam! Obviously that is a lot of orange, so wear in moderation with other colors like black, grey, gold, silver or camel (I usually always pair with jeans or jean shorts). The Kendra Scott earrings are on MEGA SALE at Nordstrom now, so get those beautiful baubles while they are hot (I ordered mine yesterday!) I hope to see you all decked out this season while waving that wheat and yelling GO POKES!
