You Can Bet You Boucle!

Boucle is a type of yarn that has a nubby quality. It's not tweed, it's not cotton, it's somewhere in the middle.  You'll see it in a horrid scarf that was handmade by an unknown relative (it varies by family), but you'll also see it beautifully tailored into some pretty stunning jackets. Check out these items.

J Crew Factory, Boucle Peplum Jacket, $78
A little peplum action is a great detail on this cozy jacket.

Gap, Boucle Jacket, $88
I just adore these flat exterior pockets. They add the perfect detail to this navy jacket.

How about this bright boucle from Asos? A great piece for fall.

How about a moto boucle? Oh just lovely. A great 3/4 length sleeve makes this an easy layering piece.

Boucle is a fun texture that works for fall or winter. Look for a tailored fit with good darting on the sides.

Bruise Like A Peach

Happy humpday! Today we're looking at another great trend for fall and winter, the black and blue combo. Once a major no no in the fashion world is now all the rage. So forget what you thought you knew. Let's get black and blue. (See what I did there?)

Forever 21, Tribal Print Harem Pants, $19
I'm still not completely convinced I could pull off harem pants. BUT, there are a ton of women out there who can. So this item is for them. 

This top is $100 off right now. It's a beautifully crafted top that has all the makings of a piece that will be in your closet for years to come.

I love this skirt because it's not your standard black pencil. It's got texture, structure, and print.

Now we're talking. Layered up black and blue with some dots. This is a great outfit.

Black and blue may not be in your fashion handbook but its here and I'm loving it. Try it with shoes, bags, or just layer up your items for color contrast.

Be fabulous today!

Pretty Python

One fall trend that is easy to fall in love with is python. It's great to wear now and in the winter. There are many color variations with this print, you can find blue, maroon, and others. For me, I prefer to keep it standard.

Snakeskin pumps are an easy go to. These wedges? These are fierce.

This is a gorgeous longsleeve tee. You could wear it with jeans and a moto jacket or wear it under a suit.

This is one rocker pinky ring. Simple, bold and chic.

Calvin Klein, Combo Placket Blouse, $48
Not wanting an all over python? This blouse give a great option for hints of print.

Python is certainly a departure from my usual polka dots and glitter but add some diversity to your closet. Mix things up!
