Introducing autumn and the four most spectacular months of year in my book.  September through December also known as "The -Bers" are home to some of the most memory-making, awe-inspiring and magical moments of the year.  From wholesome activities like orchard visits and Sunday baking to leaf-peeping and holidays at home there are so many reasons I cherish this season.  

Designing ways to style my favorite pieces throughout autumn is another fun facet of it all as I always delight in finding beautiful ways to express myself through my pairings and pieces.  Today's post features a few of the ones I'll be adding into my closet and rotation this month.  And one thing's for sure, it's heavy on the burgundy balanced by the navy and beige.  I find this palette a refreshing change from the whites and neutrals of summer and an easy gateway into the gorgeous jewel tones waiting up ahead.  

Gold button accents, bow-detailing, bourbon tweeds, and classic cable knits set my heart afire this time of the year, haha.  But truly, their ability to capture timeless elegance and nod to the past while embracing the future makes them my tried and true favorites.  And to think,  this is just the beginning of a beautiful fall romance.  These items are linked for you below in case you too are an autumn.

August...the month of sultry days and golden sunshine, butterflies and dragon flies, fiery sunsets and earlier evenings.  It is a time of transition, so clearly marked by glimmers of the new season ahead.  I choose to celebrate its presence with like-minded colors that find themselves fitting perfectly into the late summer serenade.  Lovely day dresses light me up with their effortless ability to adjust to nearly any occasion.  From lunch with the girls to an evening stroll with the husband, I love the way they always fit the mood.  A cardigan sweater quickly becomes a best friend to me this time of year.  Worn easily just over the shoulders or as a finishing piece to the outfit, they add the just right layer of warmth on a late summer evening while looking classically chic.  Pointed toe ballet flats, pearl earrings, a silk scarf and a timeless handbag are the perfect staple pieces bringing the entire look together.  Effortless and elegant just like summer's end.

The splendor of spring is alive and well amid every aspect of nature right now.  And I cannot think of any better way to capture the essence of springtime than by bringing it into your daily wardrobe.  Personally, my style is greatly influenced by the look and feel of the season via fabrics, textures and hues that reflect nature.  Day dresses, straw bags, whites, neutrals and understated accessories all pair together to create some of the most alluring looks I turn to again and again all spring and summer long.  The elegance of eyelet, the effortless of rattan and the classic style they evoke capture the essence of days spent in an English garden.  To me, that is heaven on earth.  Simply divine.  Do you love bringing nature into your everyday looks too?  The pieces I've mentioned and other items from above are linked below.  Enjoy!

Hello spring! The beautiful change of seasons is rolling in and bringing with it the gentle scents of sweet lilacs, tender bluebells and beautiful lilies of the valley.  As you likely already know, I thrill in the seasons and the welcoming in of a fresh new chapter.  And, when the page turns to the gentle season, we are each given the opportunity to reflect those changes in the multiple facets of our lives.  

One of those for me is clearly our wardrobe.  Curating a first of spring closet can quickly result in a myriad of day to day choices for getting dressed.  Whether your style reflects effortless minimalism, on trend pieces or a fresh take on the tried and true classics as does mine, a bit of time spent now will pay dividends throughout the entire season.

Today I've chosen the icon shirtdress as the centerpiece of this look.  It is by far my absolute favorite item to reach for all season long.  Whether you dress it up with a lovely pair of shoes, your favorite spring handbag and floral silk scarf or opt for a sporty look paired with plimsolls, a straw bag and a lightweight cardigan simply worn easily over the shoulder, you will undoubtedly look spring day stunning.

Truly, the secret lies in discovering your personal style and choosing the pieces that easily combine to highlight that look each day.  All of the pieces I've chosen for today's feature are linked below should you spot something that speaks to you.
