It's officially fall and I couldn't be happier!  Autumn right up through Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year.  Apple picking, pumpkin time, gorgeous fall landscapes, wood burning fires, football, cozy socks, cuddling up, cooking, comfort foods, football and holiday cheer…all of these incredible things are just some of the reasons why.  Not to be left unnoticed, the fall canvas of clothing is always the year's absolute best.  Now that the season has fully arrived, you'll be seeing me post my most-loved looks, pieces and accessories in the weeks ahead.  Today I'm sharing one of my other greatest loves which is, the ankle boot.  This shoe has become the go-to look of the season and it's no wonder.  Anyone can wear it and (even better) in any way they like.  Personally, I love slipping mine on bare-legged and with the great swingy skirts and flowy dresses I'm loving this month.  It's a completely transitional look that allows you to look of-the-moment while feeling totally comfortable.  What's especially wonderful about this year's options is that heel heights are ranging everywhere from flat to tall and stacked to skinny.  This pair from Ralph Lauren has been on major repeat for me.  Easy to wear and so cute.  I'm also loving this saddle stitch open toe version from Tory Burch.  The color alone is enough to make one obsess.  Stacked heels, vintage mod and suede wedge styles are all quite crush-worthy and on my radar right now.  Cuffed ankle pants, flowy dresses, skinny jeans and shirt dresses all feel equally the same about this little bootie. I guess love is in the air!

It may only be the turn of the page but once August shows up, I instantly get a sense of autumn being on the way.  With it will come new looks and old favorites worn in ways that make everything feel fresh for the new season.  One trend I've been following is fringe  everything.  Admittedly, my most often reached for way to wear it has been on a handbag (I so adore Rebecca Minkoff's take on it and this one by Frye.  Irresistibly incredible!) Or a great pair of ankle boots like these.  There are still so many other ways to incorporate the look into any outfit you choose.  With cooler temps becoming the norm, I'm already dreaming of sweaters and think this off the shoulder crocheted fringe number would look so adorable paired with a flowing maxi dress right now and then a pair of denim skinnies and these boots later on.  Also on my radar are these fringed ankle strap heels.  They'd be so chic with a pencil skirt, soft-fitting silk blouse and this clutch or quite fetching paired with some boyfriend denim, a classic white blouse and fur vest.  Toss this necklace on with it and you'll have completely rounded out the tomboy meets glamour girl look.  If anyone wants to take this trend full on then I'd say go for a great-fitting leather or suede fringe-trimmed jacket.  The color choices are amazing and this kind of piece can be worn late summer over white capris or a skirt and later on with black skinnies or some rich dark washed denim. Loop a colorful scarf around your neck and say hello to a fall date night.  For more fun ideas and picks pictured here you can shop the links below.  Hope everyone's having a great week so far!

COMFY CHIC

SWEATER // SCARF // LAYERING TEE // LEGGINGS // BOOTS

CREME DE LA CREME // BOYFRIEND JEANS // BIEN // POM POM HAT // NARS

While there's little that's better than getting all dressed up in your favorite gorgeous glam, there are those days when I love nothing more than spending the day feeling comfy and cozy.   I'm guessing you can relate, especially during these cold and grey days of winter.  Well, those dressed down days have gotten even better as you can combine the comfy with the chic.  

Some of my favorite stores like Anthropologie, Aritzia and Madewell are all indulging this habit with amazing options.  Lately, my favorite look consists of a well-cut (read: not schlumpy) slouchy sweater or sweatshirt, a soft fitting bottom like boyfriend jeans or leggings and an easy-to-wear boot or sneaker.  

Any way your wear it, comfy chic is hard to beat.  Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday!
