Touchdown!

Earlier this summer we looked at baseball tees for everyday wear. Now it's football season and one trend that I love making into the mainstream is the varsity jacket. It's a great layering piece for fall or winter.

Members Only, Varsity Jacket, $54
Check out this cozy jacket. Great hood, simple pockets an overall win.

A bright red would look great with black jeans.

Dorothy Perkins, Gray Varsity Jacket, $35
100% cotton means this jacket is like wearing your favorite sweatshirt.

And now something a touch fancier, preppier. I'm loving this quilted version from Tommy.

Varsity jackets are a fun and casual way to bridge the chillier evening coat before the winter coats come out.

Black Tie Very Optional

Tuxedo pants are a huge trend this year. It's a great play on menswear that allows us to play dress up and accessorize. I'm sure this won't be the last time we talk about tuxedo stripes this season so let's start with tuxedo stripe pants under $50.

Oh I love these. So classy, perfect for work. Add a D'Orsay pump.

Forever 21, Tuxedo Stripe Trouser, $22
 A white stripe? Love this surprise.

Here's a fun take on denim. Dress it up with a long necklace and flowy blouse.

Nordstrom, Colorblock Crop Pants, $19
I love these cropped pants because they can easily transition to spring. The khaki is a nice variation as well.

Tuxedo pants are a great way to try the menswear trend. Add your own flair with accessories and shoes.

This Bag Was Made for Travelin'

Happy back from long weekend! Nothing like a good short week, am I right? I've been traveling the last two weekends and my go to bag pulls double duty. It's a flat oversized clutch. I love it because I can store my essentials in it and throw it in my larger purse, but I can also use it for a night out when I'm traveling. The key is the zipper top for easy access.

Banana Republic, Croc Embossed Oversized Clutch, $75
See what I mean? throw your magic waller, keys, phone and tickets in for travel and then use it later for dinner.

A great tassel detail makes this lush clutch look even richer but you'd never know from the price.

French Connection, Oversized Clutch, $68
Something a little more edgy.

And now some soft suede. Perfect for stow and go or a night out.

I like to try to travel light. Please note the word try. One way to cut down on items that are bulky like a bag, is to try this oversized clutch option. Do double duty!
