Happy Monday!  I hope your weekend was wonderful and full of some of your summer favorites.  I made a little pitstop on mine.  While needing to pick up a watch repair, I also scooped up a few of the final best of fall pieces at the #Nsale.  So with that in mind, I put together some of the easiest transitional pieces that will help you build the bridge from summer into fall.  If one thing's for sure it's that temps greatly vary from morning to day and back to evening in the early part of the season.  That's why light layers are a must and something I always am sure to stock up on.  This ultra light mock turtleneck is a great piece to grab and wear on its own, under a fun jacket (love this one!) or layered with a roomy chambray top.  I always love the fact too that although none of us like to give up our summer sandals, what better way to do so than by slipping into fun flats and cute ankle boots?  These Louise Et Cie lace up Ghillie flats are so sweetly chic and the easiest way to say goodbye to gladiators.  They also play nicely with everything from boyfriend denim to feminine midis.  Something else I immediately think of when I think fall, is a great new handbag.  The colors moving into September are beginning to whisper shades of cognac and merlot.  This buttery toffee saddle bag is such a classic which speaks to the heart of the season.  Last but never least, don't forget those important must-haves like soft lightweight plaid button downs and cozy boyfriend jeans.  Hmmm, I think I'm looking forward to fall already!

     Happy Monday!  After spending the weekend in the city I can honestly say there's a wonderful pre-holiday buzz in the air.  Given it's my absolute favorite time of year, I could not be happier!  From the decorating to the shopping to festive merry-making, I adore every moment.  I also love when dressing for these moments is easy and stress-free.  Lucky for me, I recently had the opportunity to work with The Gap on styling these Slim City Pants for holiday and had such a fun time!  Last week I styled them in an urban chic feel that you can see here.  Thanks to their incredible versatility, today I'm taking things in a casual chic direction with a slighty preppy-urban vibe.  A plaid button down and fur vest take this pant downtown for some pre-holiday fun.  Add in a bright ballet flat and you're ready to shop those sales and grab that coffee to go.  Later, take things up a notch with a gorgeous fur vest in an unexpected color (I chose navy paired with all black and a hot pink heel…absolutely adoring this look!).  Shop these pieces below and try these looks for yourself at gap.com…Hope you're having a beautiful day!

A chill is in the air, leaves are turning golden and bright and my thoughts are telling me the holidays cannot be far away.  Along with finding the perfect gifts for all, we all also want and need the perfect holiday look to go with the festive fun.  Wanting to save most of my spending for gifting friends and family, I'm always looking for just right items that can be worn multiple ways and look amazing every time.  The Slim City Pant from Gap Factory does just that, easily and effortlessly, all while making you look gorgeously chic.  Available in a variety of patterns and prints, I can't wait to try them all!  With a silhouette and fit that harkens back to the age of Audrey Hepburn and fabulously flatters all shapes and sizes, this pant can get dressed up or cooled down without ever skipping a beat.  I styled mine several ways just to highlight and show off their versatility and ease and plan to share each and every one with you over the upcoming weeks.  Today's look is ubran chic.   Such a fabulously cool way to go with all black, a great buffalo check scarf, your favorite knit hat and a colorful skimmer.  It's easy yet polished and so very 'right now'.  Navy and black is my current favorite color combo and the flash of cherry red is the perfect way to tease towards the festive moments that we happily look forward to.  Street style just doesn't get any better than that.  Be sure to check back to see all the ways I chose to style this must-have pant you need now as this is only the beginning.  My best style advice? Make it your own as no one else can.  Be creative, be original, be happy, be you…Cheers to Holiday 2015!!

One thing I love to reach for all seasons of the year is some soft and easy chambray.  It's always a classic staple and is showing up everywhere this fall.  There are just so many ways to wear it and today I'm sharing some of my favorites.  This chambray blouse has been a longtime must-have piece in my closet.  Of course it's the perfect choice to pair with boyfriend denim, a great belt and these heels.  But when cooler days come around, I love how the same blouse looks when worn casually with denim skinnies, these flats, a chic poncho and a great handbag like this one.  So simple and so casually elegant.  I also always pair my favorite fitting jeans (this pair is fantastic and fits like a dream) with a French-inspired striped bateau top and fun fedora.  Ahh, it's got that easy 'Saturday morning feel' like nothing else I know.  Last, well-fitted blazers never go out of style, just ask Ralph Lauren.  This time, I'm thinking of trying a great classic choice like this one and giving it some added personality with a fun printed belt.  If you're looking for a few great chambray pieces to add to your closet right now be sure to check out these here.  I don't know about you but I'm so very ready for the weekend and some long-awaited down time.  Happy Friday!

In honor of the French's celebration of Bastille Day, I've drawn upon Parisian perfection and put together a collection of my favorite French-inspired looks.  The staples of French girl style are simple and elegant which is why they come together so stunningly.  The simplicity of it all is what I find so alluring and surprisingly easy to emulate.  These five pieces are really all you need to complete the look.  A striped tee…preferably done in navy or black and white this piece can be dressed up (hello pencil skirt) or down (think boyfriend jeans) and always looks right.  The skinny white pant…we're not talking skintight but just fitted enough to complement your curves.  A classic jacket…it's the understated piece that never fades and ties the look together.  A chic little clutch…aka the world of Clare Vivier.  Need I say more?  Black sunnies…protecting your eyes while looking camera ready, what could be better.  But seriously, French women know their way around their closet and the beauty counter which is why their skin remains baby-soft and oh-so fair decades past their teens and twenties.  

Hope you're feeling inspired by this French girl style as much as I am.  If so, you can try putting together your own look with the items below.  Happy Wednesday!

One of the most American of all holidays, July 4th, calls for sand in between your toes and sea salt in the air aka an American summer.  One of my favorite places to get away to each year is the New England coast.  Peppered with white sandy beaches, rocky shorelines and miles of patriotic flair, it is home to the American spirit and with that, its well-worn style.  Classic inspiration, made iconic by the likes of Jackie Kennedy, still claims some of the most coveted of modern summer style.  Here are some of my favorite red, white and blue beach looks and locales with inspiration from the lovely Sarah Vickers of Classy Girls Wear Pearls.  This scalloped hem shell dress and little gingham number are already packed to go…Happy birthday America!




Most items are available below and all KJP items can be found here.

Call me a rule breaker but I just couldn't resist breaking out the white denim before the unofficial start of summer.  Scandalous, I know.  But seriously, I do love the great versatility of crisp white denim in all its forms.  White jeans are a blank canvas just waiting for you to craft your OOTD masterpiece upon them.  Today's post shares some of my most-loved ways to do just that.  Indigo chambray is always a classic option with white, especially when paired with a bit of yellow or red and some navy and white stripes {hello nautical!}.  Another look I always find I'm reaching for is one that involves a blush and white combo.  Soft, romantic, feminine and perfect for now.  In a word, heavenly.  
And should it seem the white jean gets all the attention, let's not forget the white denim mini.  I love its perfect feel beneath my favorite boyfriend blouse on a warm summer's night after a memorable day on the beach.   


Who's ready for summer?  Enjoy your day and thanks for reading!
