Here Comes Fall...

Okay, I know nobody wants to face the fact that it's August. We're officially in the home stretch of summer here. As much as I'm going to miss the lazy days, happy hour on the deck, and lying in the sun I am at least a little bit excited about fall. I love, love, love sweater, boots and jackets. Come on people, I know you all do too. So through out this month I'll be giving you some ideas on stocking up on cozy fall items for your wardrobe. Today we're talking jackets. Whether it's a soft cape or a cool cord denim jacket, you need to stay stylish and warm next season. My go to jacket for fall and spring is usually a trench and there are a couple of good options above (my dream is to own a Burberry trench coat. ONE DAY people, one day. It will be mine). A leather jacket is a great way to add a little badass to your outfit with zero effort. I instantly feel more rebellious as soon as I put one on. Unfortunately, I lost my favorite leather jacket last year at a bar and I have yet to replace it. I guess I'd better get shopping.

Planning Ahead

Happy hump day! I've always hated that phrase, I'm not sure why I just said it. Anyway, I'm having a happy day. I woke up to a new cross-body bag from the lovely girls at  Ladies in Navy. I'll be doing a shoot with it sometime this week to share with all of you. 

Okay, so today's subject is bittersweet. It's nearing the end of July which means we're getting into the home stretch. There's only a (GASP!) month of summer left. It's unfortunate, I know. However, it is bittersweet because I absolutely love fall. The cozy sweaters, football sundays and pumpkin spiced lattes are things I always get excited for as soon as the weather starts to cool. Now I know what you're thinking, how can you think about sweaters when it's a thousand degrees out. It's true that it's hard to think about a fall wardrobe when you're dripping with sweat from the humidity, but the fall lines are taking over the stores ladies. SO here's an idea. Add some black pieces in light weight materials to your summer wardrobe. You can pair them with bright neon colors or fun prints and still look summer fresh. Then when the temperature starts to drop, layer them with sweaters, tights and booties. BAM your wardrobe has just extended itself.
