Fall 2019 Favorites

November 12, 2019 by Leave a Comment

In Michigan we seem to have skipped right past fall and move directly into winter. Even though we have piles of snow on the ground, I’m hoping it will melt soon and we can continue to enjoy the fall season. Here are a few of the things I’ve been enjoying this year.

Crystal Flower Sweater ($69.50)

In fall, sweaters are the thing and this embellished sweater is just darling! I could see myself wearing this out to dinner for a little glitz.

Audrey Faux-Leather Slouchy Heeled Boot ($99.50)

With Michigan weather the way it is, I feel like you need a new pair of boots every season because they get so damaged from rain, snow, and salt. I like to transition my summer dresses to fall by adding boots and tights and these slouchy boots are the cutest addition to dress up any work outfit.

Hot Cocoa and Cream Candle ($24.50)

I love a fall candle and this one makes the house smell like chocolate. Even John commented that it smelled good, which is high praise!

Daphne Topcoat ($228)

I am obsessed with a brightly colored statement piece, which is why I love this rose coat.

CND Dark Dahlia ($10.50)

I’ve seen this color on and it looks black in the picture, but it’s really a deep purple.

Nine West Gaya Tote ($53.40)

I had a big bag throughout the summer and loved it, but need a black one for fall and this one does the trick.

Renegade Cluster Bracelet ($59)

Over the summer I really got into stacking my bracelets. I had a good summer stack going, but I need a few edgier pieces for fall, like this Renegade Cluster Bracelet.

London Times Center Front Twist Sheath Dress ($37.99)

I purchased this dress and love the cut, color and style. The long sleeves make it perfect for fall.

Nine West Mtaya Buckle Pumps (88.99)

I love the detail on these. You can never go wrong with a black pump, but these take it to another level.

NEST Cocoa Woods ($79)

I’ve received so many compliments on this scent lately that I had to share it. It is a great choice for fall and it smells like chocolate.

Cozy Open Cardigan ($69.50)

I love how this is a cozy cardigan, but looks like a blazer. It’s such a great transition piece that I want in every color!

Wooden Wine Boxes ($16.77)

These are darling and would make the perfect hostess gift. You get a set of three for each purchase.

T2 Caramel Brownie Tea ($12)

This is my favorite tea! It is so delicious.

Gold Snake Buckle Fold-Over Clutch ($29.94)

I adore the detailing on this clutch. It makes the perfect accessory for a night out.

Michigan Wolverines Tailgate Headquarters Asymmetrical Twist Tie Top ($32.99)

You can never have enough Michigan gear but so much of my gear is warmer weather based. I need a cute top like this for fall.

The Megan from Glass Ladder & Co. ($120)

This is very similar to a Meghan Markle piece and I love it! I have a new Surface laptop and this would be perfect to take with me on the go.

What pieces are keeping you cozy this fall?

You can revisit my previous fall favorites for 2018,  2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, and 2013.

Fall 2018 Favorites

October 1, 2018 by Leave a Comment

I’m really not ready for fall this year, I was just starting to get into the swing of summer and really enjoy it and BOOM fall. One of my mottos is Fake it Till You Make it which applies here so I will just start talking about fall and getting all my fall items and then the excitement will follow. I already have a few easy favorites to share with you on my annual list.

Fergalicious Rattle Peep Toe Bootie ($44.99)

I had a similar pair on my year last year but never ended up getting them. I bit the bullet and bought these and they are SO cute! I have a really wide width and have a hard time finding shoes to fit when they encase your whole foot, but these work really well. They are a great transition from sandals and wedges into fall.

CND Dreamcatcher ($10.50)

I’m loving this new color from the CND Wild Earth Collection. It’s a fun purpley pink color.

Twist Back Sweater ($54.99)

I love the sexy twist detail on this sweater for fall. It’s like the mullet of sweaters – business in the front and party in the back.

Pumpkin Coconut Candle ($24.50)

This is a Bath & Body Works online exclusive, but talk about a great transition from summer to fall! the fragrance includes Spiced Pumpkin, Toasted Coconut, Creamy Vanilla, and Sea Salted Caramel.

The Jean Jacket in Pinter Wash ($118)

I’m not sure how I don’t already have a jean jacket, but ever since I saw this one on Meghan Markle, I had to have it. It’s a great way to take those summer dress and tanks into fall.

Thea Lace Chandeliers ($49)

These caught my eye the first time I saw them, so elegant. They also have a matching cuff.

Calvin Klein Bell-Sleeve Sheath Dress ($100.50)

I came across this while running through the mall the other day and WOW! I tried it on and it is now on my fall wish list. The color is fantastic. Lately, I’ve been having a love affair with Calvin Klein dresses, they are so stylish.

Exuberate Slingback Pumps ($69.99)

Another great shoe for transitions, I am loving the detail on this slingback!

Pumpkin 24K Gold Sheet Mask ($8)

Pumpkin and gold in one mask? Where do I sign up?

Charlie Carryall 28 In Signature Rose Print ($295)

This is so me! I love anything with a feminine detail and these flowers just make the bag!

Addy Versatile Poncho ($89)

Who knew Stella and Dot had clothing? I am living for this poncho that you can also turn into a cardigan! When I saw that I couldn’t believe it – two pieces in one has my vote!

Lily Knit Back Midi Coat ($125)

I am loving the idea of a camel coat for fall and I like the oversized look of this one. This is one piece I don’t already have and think it could be really versatile.

Sexual Chocolate

This really is the perfect fall wine.

Boone Cocktail Ring ($75)

I am obsessed with this Kendra Scott ring! I have tried it on twice and can’t wait to get it!

Drink Up Witches Stemless Wine Glass ($1.99)

I’m already getting into the Halloween spirit and thought it would be fun to enjoy my wine in one of these cute glasses.

Expert in Your Zeal A-Line Dress in Plaid ($79)

I love wearing dresses and hate wearing pants, so I love fall dresses that you can add a pair of tights or leggings too. This would look really cute with my new booties too!

What’s on your list for fall?

Fall 2017 Favorites

October 11, 2017 by 4 Comments

It’s fall y’all! The weather has started to cool down here in Michigan and I’m finally ready to break out some fall stuff. Goodbye summer maxi dresses – hello leggings!

Faux Fur Vest ($180)

I’m pretty sure I have something similar on my list every year but I haven’t bit the bullet yet and ordered it. I just keep thinking about how soft and cozy this would be – I need to get on it this year.

OPI Less is Norse ($10.50)

I’m a little obsessed with OPI’s collection releases and I love the video for the new Icelandic Collection. I’m going with Less is Norse for my fall favorite, but I do like Turn On The Northern Lights and Reykjavik Has All The Hot Spots too.

Twist Front Cozy Fleece Pullover ($49)

I’m sort of in love with the cut of this top and by how many color options are available. Just having “cozy” in the name screams fall.

Petite Herkimer Quartz Necklace ($74)

Salame Jewelry Designs are my favorite and this little stunner just came up in my feed the other day. I love how dainty it is. According to the description “Quartz in its natural raw form is perfect for keeping positive energy flowing.”

Flare Sleeve Sheath Dress ($139)

This reminded me of this old Pinspired post – it would be the perfect dress to mix and match with. It would also be a great dress to pair with my red pumps (which are on sale btw).

Lash Split Shaft Bootie ($159.95)

I’m missing some cute booties from my wardrobe and these ones from Kristin Cavallari are darling! A good reason to use those Nordstrom Notes!

Zella Live-In High Waist Leggings ($65)

I’ve found the answer to my leather leggings problem. Not that you even knew I had a problem, but I just can’t pull off the leather leggings look. Plus I’m mostly afraid of getting into a Ross’ leather pants situation a la Friends. So these Zella leggings in Black Laminate are the perfect solution. They have a cool sheen/glimmer to them that would be perfect for a night out without the embarrassing baby powder/lotion situation (if you haven’t seen this episode watch it immediately).

Mini Tassel Earrings ($34.50)

These are super duper cute! Tassels are just fun.

Water Resistant Trench Cape ($168)

I could have used this all last week – this is so chic I can’t even stand it! Very Olivia Pope…

Cinnamon Pretzel Twist Candle ($22.50)

OMG! This is the holy grail of candles – It smells like a Cinnabon store.

Merino Blend 2-in-1 Sweater ($98)

This looks super cozy. I like that it is a cowl style, but not low cut where my girls are hanging out.

Michael Kors Lena Large Shoulder Bag ($178.80)

I love this aubergine color or as they call it here “damson.” I really need more of a hobo bag to haul all my stuff around.

Relaxed Cross-Strap Tunic for Women ($18)

Speaking of that color – it is hot for fall and I love it on this tunic from Old Navy. You can’t beat the price and you can wear it with leggings!

Hunter Over-the-Knee Lace Up Boot ($53.40)

Avenue is pretty much my favorite place to buy boots. Great prices and they work on my wide calf every time! These are so different than anything else I’ve seen out there and I love them!

Splendid Dirt – Nutrient Mud Mask with Organic Pumpkin Puree ($23)

Oprah is a big fan of the FarmHouse Fresh Brands and I love their Whoopie Pie Lotion. I’m a huge fan of any mask that “will seriously de-gunk and help purify even the most congested skin.”

Here are some of my Fall 2015 Favorites:

CND Asphalt

I love the dark gray for fall and CND’s Asphalt fits the bill. You can shop the gel here and the Vinylux here.

Asphalt

Zella Power Fleece Legging ($58)

I love the Zella brand leggings, they are the perfect fit and stay put during walks and yoga! I am walking Sport every morning and it’s starting to get colder out so these Power Fleece leggings are necessary. They come in black or purple.

Zella Power Fleece

Kendra Scott Ellen Drop Earrings in Platinum Drusy ($119.97)

I love the detailing in these earrings.

Kendra Scott

Shire Plaid Poncho ($38)

Plaid=Fall, but this poncho is extra special. I love how they dressed it up in the photo.

I recently reviewed this wine and it is the perfect spooky wine for the season.

You can have a lot of fun styling this with pieces in your closet.

I love this jacket and suit from Laundry. The leather detailing makes it perfect for fall and I am obsessed with purple lately.

I am halfway through this candle and just LOVE it! So perfect for fall with the scent of juicy wine.

Fall Favorites

September 22, 2013 by 6 Comments

I have to admit that Spring and Summer are my favorite seasons. I do like fall, but more for the fun activities we get to do like tailgating and football games. Because of this I wanted to wait until the first day of fall to give you my favorites so I could enjoy every last day of summer.

Caramel Apple Spice

Since I don’t drink coffee, I can’t jump on the pumpkin drinks at Starbucks, but I can enjoy my delicious Caramel Apple Spice. It tastes like a hot apple juice drink with cinnamon, caramel, and whipped cream. What could be better? It is great on a cool day to warm you right up. I can’t wait to get my first one of the season.

Starbucks Caramel Apple Spice

Fioni Booties

I first talked about these booties on my September Pinspired post here. I haven’t been a huge fan of booties, mostly because I have thicker legs and I think they are more flattering on people with long, thin legs. When I saw these booties, I thought they were perfect – more like heels with a little bit of bootie. The best part is that they are from Payless, so they’re very affordable. Since they are sold out, you can buy them on eBay here. I can’t wait to wear them with tights!

SPANX High-Waisted Tights ($38)

In order to keep you spring and summer dresses going through fall, you’re going to need a good pair of tights. Enter SPANX. I cannot stress how much I love these tights. I know it seems weird that they go all the way up to your bra, but trust me, you will love them. Because they go up so high, you don’t have to worry about  the muffin top problem that you would get with normal control top tights or pantyhose. This is the one item that I will definitely stock up on. I can’t wait to try different colors and maybe patterns this year.

SPANX High-Waisted Tights

Grace & Lace Legwarmers ($34)

I have been watching these all summer and I can’t wait to buy them for fall. I imagine I will mostly wear them for lounging around the house, but I like to think that I might experiment and wear them over jeans and leggings. My feet and legs are always cold, so I think these will be perfect and cute for downtime with the hubby.

Miss Molly Legwarmers

Michael Kors ‘Everest’ Baguette Crystal Bezel Bracelet Watch ($325)

I’m in love. Now don’t get me wrong, I still love my white ceramic Michael Kors watch from the summer favorites list, but lately I’ve been adding some gold into my wardrobe and I need a watch that matches. I also think that I need to put the white watch away and bring it out for some winter white in December and January. When I saw this gold Michael Kors watch I thought I died and went to heaven. It is just so beautiful, I have to have it!

CND Vinylux/Shellac Masquerade

Now that summer is over, I am ready for a new fall color. I think that CND Shellac/Vinylux in Masquerade will do the trick. It is not red, but more of a dark red/purple that is perfect for fall. If you haven’t heard of Vinylux yet, check out my post here.

CND Masquerade

CND Masquerade

Flower Headband ($36.99)

I have a few outdoor events to go to this fall, an outdoor beer festival, not to mention lots of tailgating. I need to stay warm, but I don’t want hat hair. Enter the adorable flower headband. It keeps your ears warm without killing your hair for the evening. I particularly like this one from Lucy’s Knitting Shop because of the cute little button.

headband

Infinity Scarves

I bought two infinity scarves last year in black and camel and I wore them everyday. They solve the problem of having a bulky scarf under your fitted coat. They are great to wear with a t-shirt or with a coat or jacket. The place I got mine from doesn’t have them anymore, so I found a great Etsy shop, Beckers Creations, where you can buy them in any color.

infinity scarf

Sam Adams Cherry Wheat Beer

This beer is perfect for fall, it is crisp and fruity, but not dark. It has a cherry/honey taste and is great by itself or with dinner. Each bottle is 165 calories so I like to have one every once in a while.

ChapStick Velvet Cupcake Lip Balm

I live in Michigan, which means that the cold weather is approaching. Combine that with lots of outdoor events and you get chapped lips. It pays to always have chapstick on hand and what could be better than velvet cupcake flavor?
