Congratulations Shira! I will be contacting you shortly. Thank you so much to everyone who entered my giveaway. If you didn't win this time, don't fret ~ stay tuned for more fabulous giveaways to come!

Leopard Coat

Coat:  BB Dakota via Urban Outfitters, Sweater:  H&M (old, similar here), Jeans:  H&M (old, similar here), Shoes:  Valentino, Bag:  Rebecca Minkoff

I was on the fence about this coat when I first bought it, but after wearing it for the past few days, I know keeping it was the right choice. It goes with everything and takes a simple ensemble to the next level.

Happy Hump Day!

ONLY A FEW HOURS LEFT TO ENTER MY FALL FASHION GIVEAWAY {HERE} ~ DON'T MISS OUT!

Peplum Perfection

Top:  J.Crew, Skirt:  J.Crew (old, very similar here), Shoes:  Christian Louboutin, Bag:  Target

I always think that too much of a good thing is just the opposite ~ not a good thing. I never buy two of the same item, and I try to limit my trendy purchases. Last year I purchased two peplum tops - one in black with a short sleeve {seen here} and a sleeveless version in cream {seen here}. 

After that I vowed that I had filled my peplum quota...

...until J.Crew came out with this little ponte number and I just couldn't resist. I love the fit and especially the sleeve length. I broke my rule but I'm sure I will be wearing the heck out of this top!

And don't forget, there is still time to enter my fall fashion giveaway {HERE}!

Clouds

Top:  Free People, Pants:  AG Jeans, Shoes:  Classiques Entier (old, similar here), Bag:  Free People, Sunnies:  Ray-Ban, Nails:  OPI "In the Cable Car Pool Lane"

Along with my recent career change, came a wardrobe change particularly in the area of footwear. When I was working in a school, I didn't feel the need to wear heels every day. Even when I did wear heels, I would usually switch them out for flats after an hour or so.

Now that I'm in an office environment, I wear heels pretty much every day. I do try to keep a pair of flip-flops in my car at all times in case I need to go somewhere that is not heel-friendly {like the grocery store} after work. But what will I do when it's no longer sandal weather?

Enter Clouds. When Fit in Clouds approached me to review their flats, i was over the moon. Portable ballet flats that fold and fit in a small pouch that you can throw in your bag?!? SOLD! 

Get your own pair HERE.

Leather Weather

 Top:  Anthropologie (old, identical here), Jacket:  Madewell, Skirt:  Zara (recent, great option here), Shoes:  Valentino, Bag:  J.Crew (old, LOVING this one), Sunnies:  Ray-Ban, Nails:  OPI "In the Cable Carpool Lane"

Although I would say that summer is my favorite season {due to my love of the beach}, fall is a very close second. I love everything about it. The slight chill in the air, apple and pumpkin picking, the changing colors of the leaves, and of course fall fashion. 

I've cropped most of the ombré out of my hair, changed over to dark nail polish, and just like that, I'm falling into fall.
