Happy Monday!  Recently, I've been getting a lot of questions about the  best pieces to invest in when you want to create a simple and chic closet that works overtime to curate classic looks all season long.  So, today I'm putting together the key pieces I personally love and reach for during the fall and sometimes all year round.

Number one on my list is a camel coat.  While this staple can have the reputation of coming with a steep price tag, that isn't always necessarily true.  Luckily, there are options to suit every price range when it comes to this beautiful coat.

Now, if you live in a warm climate where this cozy layer is simply not an option then I'd be reaching for yes, you guessed it, the blazer.  This iconic piece will take you everywhere you need to go and will effortlessly work with everything you own whether casual, classic, edgy, sporty or elegant.  It is one piece that has stood the test of time and can work in every wardrobe regardless of your personal style.  

With a gorgeous coat or jacket at the ready, it almost might not even matter what you're wearing underneath because the jacket will steal the show!  But, of course, we want to keep the look going.  So, I always love having an assortment of solid, neutral-toned sweaters to play with.  You know how much I adore my neutrals and honestly, they never disappoint.  This charcoal turtleneck is so perfect for right now and would layer beautifully under that camel coat or look fantastic paired with trousers or jeans.

Speaking of which, both well-made trousers and classic denim are two other ways to extend the mileage your basics afford you.  Sweaters, shirts, blouses and cardis all love them and easily pair with either to make for a beautiful, casual look.

Last, shoes and accessories are left to round out the look.  So, for me, I love investing in a classic flat, a trending pair of sneakers and a dressier ankle boot.  When I have all these options at the ready, I can then very easily mix and match them with all the pieces in my closet to create a variety of looks to suit my current mood.  A leather tote is a must-have for me as it also works with so many of the looks I find myself creating.  And finally, a classic, warm and comfy scarf will always tie a look together while adding a much-loved sense of style.  

And that's it.  I find that these pieces always work to keep me happy and have never let me down.  How about you guys?  What are the pieces you love most when it comes to creating multiple easy looks?  I'd love to know!

Hope you're all enjoying a gorgeous Monday!  Have fun!

There's one thing that can make or break an outfit and so often it is all in the details.  From the length of a hem to the cuff of a sleeve, the tiniest touches can take an outfit from boring to brilliant.  The trending detail that I am absolutely adoring right this minute is the ruffle.  Ladylike and bold all at the same time, this classic element is showing up everywhere and making major waves.  If you're looking to update your wardrobe at all for spring, this lovely detail makes it simple and is stunning.  In shopping around this season I found that there are almost more options than anyone could ever need.  Haha, almost.  My favorite pieces and a variety of pretty little price points are all linked below (include those amazing Gucci heeled loafers!) If they strike your fancy half as much as they do mine, be prepared to smile. Wishing you a wonderful weekend...lots of love!

It's wonderful Wednesday and the start of a new month which means another chance to begin a new hobby, take on a new challenge or simply add an unexpected element to your everyday routine.  Our fashion choices fall under that umbrella quite perfectly and can so often be a fun and simple way to spice up your day to day.  One easy but highly impactful way to do this is with amazing animal prints.  From the smallest touches to the grand scale, a bit of leopard (or cheetah) goes a long way.  Styling this look may be far easier than you ever dreamed.  For me, my favorite go-to option is to build a look based upon neutrals and top it with an animal print like this.  Even blue denim and shades of cream can be elevated to lovely when paired with a chic jacket like this.  Add in a pair of colorful flats and great leather bag and you are lunch date ready (for that and more!).  I've linked my favorite animal print pieces for your shopping pleasure below.  What do you think of the trend?

Happy Friday girls!  Weekend chic is probably my favorite look to reach for and the arrival of off-duty time is a wonderful reason to focus on what to wear now.  One piece I'll be reaching for before heading out the door is the poncho.  Oh how I love this piece!  It's versatile, modern, easy to style and an easy way to change up an otherwise ordinary outfit.  From color blocked to cape style, this is the gold standard of fall outerwear.  This navy and burgundy combo is completely fall-ready and would look incredible paired with these boots I love.  This similar color scheme played out in plaid is the autumn loving girl's best friend and both are on MAJOR sale right now!).  When it comes to cape style I find this look to be on fire.  I don't know if it is the military-inspired feel or the classic appeal but this look effortlessly nails it every time.  Wear it over a ultra-feminine dress and let a little bit of lace peek out.  Perfectly juxtaposed.  More of these styles are linked and shoppable below.  I wish you all a lovely weekend filled with your favorite things!

Happy #NYFW Friday!  Can you believe the week is already here?  The buzz of the city is always incredible and during early September that vibe only gets better aka AMAZING.  In honor of the fashion event, I've chosen some of my favorite fall street styles that you will soon want to begin wearing as you're running around all over town.  Basically, these looks revolve around two basic concepts, textured skirts and chunky knits.  There's something so effortlessly hip about pairing bare legs with cold weather toppers.  And, the landscape is filled with suede, leather, denim and comfy knit options to do it with.  Start scoping out the streets for some similar style inspo and shop the looks below for more.  Happy weekend all!

Happy Friday loves!  Nothing says weekend style quite like the laidback vibe of a baseball cap.  So easy yet so chic, this look caught fire a few years ago and is one I love to reach for on off-duty days.  After spending most of the winter in a cozy knit newsboy cap, I'm happy to trade it out now for this spring style.  Not only is it a great way to shield the sun it also goes (and looks great with) so many styles.  For me, my favorite is this cap, these black bottoms, a comfy tee and cropped leather jacket.  It also adds the just right element of casual to a t-shirt dress and sneakers.  When done right, this easy little accessory can also give great street style sense to a killer maxi dress and ankle strap sandal like this.  If you weren't ready for the weekend before this, you've got even more reasons now, haha.  Hope you all have a great one!

Denim days are one of those magical elements of fashion that are always in vogue and perhaps never more so than during the days of spring and fall.  What was once the fabric of only weekend wear has now become the go-to grab it piece that can transcend all facets of your wardrobe.  The piece I'm coveting right now is the denim shirt dress.  From ankle boots to chic sneaks, this little wardrobe warrior works for nearly any place you want to take it.  Dress it down with a baseball cap and an effortlessly tied sweatshirt around your waist or dress it up with platform sandals (these are a great price), this crossbody and a statement watch.  This button front version has caught my eye and would be such a cute spring dressing option.  I'm also considering this boxy tee version for those more casual, low key days.  No matter your personal favorite, you simply can't go wrong.  There are more options and accessories linked below.  Hope your week is going well…thanks for visiting today!

Coachella is here and with it comes the festival inspired dressing that sets the stage for summer.  From fringe to floral, it amazes me how the annual music, art and fashion fest unites all styles making each of us a festival girl if only in a small way or two.  For some, this is the chance to fully embrace the beauty of le bohème and for others a tassel artfully placed on an otherwise unassuming handbag is all that's needed.  Any and all ways can be brilliant right now.  For me, I find that lace crochet, caramel suede, 70's inspo and the perfect ankle bootie are all on my radar….in spades right now.  This suede fringe jacket is so incredible and that color, oh my!  I'm also all about white and ivory lace everything at this moment.  So fresh, so feminine and just so very flattering on everyone.  Never underestimate the right white, it's like having uplighting everywhere you go!  This bag is my pick for the season and needs to find its way into my closet.  I also think this lace number, this tassel poncho and these sandals are some of the seasons sweetest finds.  I'm so excited that spring is here because it can only mean that a lovely summer lies ahead.  Go find your soundtrack.  I hope you are having a fabulous Friday…Happy weekend!

They say the devil is in the details.  This now trending look leaves no question as to why.  From shoes to shorts and shirts to dresses, lace up detailing is showing up everywhere right now as one of spring and summer's favorite looks.  This caramel suede dress is currently one of my favorite pieces featuring this alluring look.  The color is gorgeous and it can easily go from play to rosé with a just a little planning.  This denim shirtdress option is perfect for a spring afternoon running around town.  These sneakers make it playful while this sandal makes it sultry.  I also love it done in a simple white blouson top.  And with all this lovely lacing going on, let's not forget the little lace up skirt.  This little number is begging to be tried on and taken home.  One more thing I can't help but mention is that this of the moment detail is nothing if not delightful on the feet.  These shoes are hard to get your hands on but you'll never want to take them off once you do!  I hope this inspires you towards trying something new this week…
