  With the arrival of October comes the greatest styling options of all, the sweater and with fall's chill brings the styling thrill of how to next wear those cozy stars of the season.  From one year to the next, this long loved piece is always a stylish staple for me and this time out is certainly no exception.  Animal prints to fair isles, jewel tones to dresses, sweaters are wardrobe workhorses that can effortlessly carry you from day to night as well as from work day to weekend.
Some of my own favorite ways to work these gems is to layer them over everything - think lighter fabric dresses, skinny jeans and preppy blouses or under anything - go for turtleneck types beneath a blazer, slim jacket or a soft fur vest.  Another truly feminine option is to don a sweater dress, solid, striped or patterned print depending upon your personal preference.  This is a great look for day or night and can easily move from casual look to date night ready with a simple change of footwear and tights.
What really makes for a stylish standout this season, is choosing any of these sweater styles mentioned in an array of those gorgeous jewel tone colors.  Much like the past season that was once warm, airy and light and has now become chipper and crisp, so too have the colors evolved from pastel pretties to rich vibrant hues.  Golds, teals, rubies and jades captivate the scene now and can effortlessly give an instant lift to your cashmere cozies making them and you oh so of-the-moment.


Have a favorite way to style your go-to sweater girl look?  Please send them to chic Saturday, I'd love to feature you here.

Thanks for reading....have a beautiful Tuesday!

Hello September!  The start of fall always symbolizes renewal and a time to refresh and revamp oneself.  What better way is there to do that than to begin with one's closet?  Now's the time to toss anything you haven't worn or won't wear and replace that with a few fresh, key pieces perfect for the fall season.  Here are a few of my favorite picks:




//Darker Denims//  I've always been a fan of my favorite pair of jeans.  What I'm really loving right now, are the richer hues and jewel tones that have recently come on the scene.  Gold, spruce, bordeaux and violet are perfect choices for cooler, crisp days and pair so well with fall's classic patterns as well as some of today's updated prints, think animal prints and geometric designs.

//Patterns, Prints and Collars//  Both tops and bottoms will be taking on busier and sometimes bolder looks this autumn with the arrival of polka dots, chevron and snakeskin patterns.  Collars are also breaking out everywhere with both sewn in as well as jewelry add-ons that give new life to basic tops, sweaters and tees.

//Fashion Forward Footwear//  Rich hues and playful patterns are not reserved just for clothing this fall.  Instead, they are being seen on the street in multiple forms of footwear.  From flats and smoking slippers to heels and riding boots, color and texture will be walking the walk.  


//Autumn Accessories//  I'm the type of girl who feels that a great pair of sunnies is a must have year round.  With that, I'm finding that I'm particularly fond of these square shaped Tory Burch ones done in a tortoise shell finish.  Ahhh, forever chic.  Also on my wish list this month is anything done in hunter green. It pairs so beautifully with gold accents and has always been a favorite of mine.  Now that it is being seen everywhere in so many pretty ways.....well, you get the picture, its on my list and hard to resist.


//A Great Fitting Blazer//  Nothing says "fall" to me more than a blazer.  Worn over a summery dress, paired with jeans and a white blouse or partnered with your favorite skinnies, boots and a scarf, this piece is kind of indispensable one might say.  Colors and fabrics are plentiful this time of year, so be sure to choose a couple that fit you to a tee and easily mix and match with the other pieces you already own.  This makes for an instant revamp of your wardrobe as well as a fun way to breath new life into old faves.


So, I'd love to know, what are some of your favorites this September?
