Fall 2018 Favorites

October 1, 2018 by DetroitDuchess 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?

You can stock up on all my previous fall favorites for 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, and 2013 if you want to take a look back.

5 on Friday: Giveaway Edition

October 11, 2013 by DetroitDuchess 8 Comments

It’s time for another edition of Five on Friday with A Liz Adventures, The Good Life Blog, Hello Happiness and Carolina Charm.

I’m going to get right to the five things I am loving this week:

1. Small Moments Giveaway

I am running the Small Moments Giveaway (read more here) and you have until October 14th to enter. It is easy and free to enter here: (a Rafflecopter giveaway). The giveaway includes 25 custom party invitations to your next Halloween or Thanksgiving party. Here is a sample of one of the Halloween creations:

2. Wen Bamboo Green Tea

Chaz Dean has released a new Wen Cleansing Conditioner – Bamboo Green Tea ($26.36) . Click here to read my post about the Wen Cleansing Conditioners if you’ve never tried it before.

3. Badgley Mischka Floral Cloche Hat ($42)

I found this hat while looking for something else last night and thought it was darling. I need to buy it and wear it all winter, the color just pops!

4. Stella and Dot Bahari Necklace

This is the perfect necklace to wear on Michigan game days. Funny story – I saw one of our local TV anchors wearing it after last week’s game and I liked it so much I decided to tweet her and ask her where she got it. I was thrilled when she said it was Stella and Dot. Unfortunately, this necklace is sold out on the Stella and Dot website, but I have tracked down a number of them on eBay.

5. Side Way Cross Necklace ($25)

I was so excited when I got my Ily Couture Side Way Cross Necklace on sale. I wore it a number of times…and then I lost it. I can’t seem to find it anywhere, so I am thinking about just buying another one (which is probably the fastest way to find the old one). It annoys me to have to buy something twice, but I really want to wear it again.

Do you have anything that you are loving this week and want to share?

July Pinspired

July 1, 2013 by DetroitDuchess 8 Comments

I had fun putting together last month’s June Pinspired looks with Shay at MixandMatchMama, Sheaffer at Pinterest Told Me To and Mel at The Larson Lingo so I thought I would try my hand at a July Pinspired look. For those of you wondering I am still trying to complete my June look, but can’t find colored pants that look good on me. I have all of the other items, but am still on the hunt for the pants.

I am attending an outdoor wedding at a winery later this month and need to put a look together that is cute but functional. It will most likely be hot and I probably won’t want to wear heels. I really want to try a hi-low dress with wedges and I found a ton of inspiration on Pinterest:

Hi-Low Dresses

I liked this Suzi Chin dress in Paradise Pink for $81.99 for a number of reasons. I have another Suzi Chin dress and I love the cut of it, I like that this dress has a v-neck instead of a strapless or blousy neckline and I think the waistline will be more flattering on me:

Suzi Chin Hi Low Dress

The key to this look will be the accessories, they will really dress it up.

I am going to wear my Vera Wang Lavender Penny Wedges with this since I don’t want to wear heels that will sink into the ground. They are sold out, but you can still find a number of them in the nude color on eBay:

I plan to carry my Patent Leather Coach Ashley Wristlet:

For jewelry, I want a statement necklace, so I decided to go with this Stella & Dot Bloom Necklace ($198) and to accessorize with earrings and a few bracelets that I already have:

I am excited about this outfit, because I already have most of the pieces and it will cost me $279.99 to finish the look (I just need to buy the dress and necklace). I could wear the necklace with a number of other outfits and it would be a good investment.

I think this is the perfect outfit for my upcoming summer wedding. Let me know if you have any other ideas on how I could dress this look up.

UPDATE So we went to the wedding and it was fantastic! I loved seeing my friends get married and it was great to hang with all of my besties at once. Here is a picture of us (isn’t the bride breathtaking?). I loved this look, the dress fit great and I love, love, love the necklace and can’t wait to wear it again.
