Ochre Jealous?

You know what color I'm loving lately? Ochre. Haven't heard of it? Where have you been? Everyone knows ochre. And by everyone, I mean, maybe 12 people. I had never heard of it. But I'm an ochre convert.

Ochre is a natural earth pigment that ranges from yellow to a orange-brown. It screams fall. It is not quite mustard and not quite sunshine. It floats in the middle in a super cool, understated ochre way.

Nordstrom, Minkpink Chalet Girl Sweater Dress, $99

How stinking gorgeous is this heavy cable dress? Truly effortless.

H&M, Cable Knit Sweater, $29

A slight hi-low hem gives this standard cable a little something extra.

Anthropologie, Pilcro Stet Cords, $88

Leave your khakis at home, ladies. These straight leg cords will be your new go to bottom.

Asos, Midi Skirt in Scuba with Dipped Hem, $66

Alright, you caught me, I saved my favorite for last. But can you blame me? Look at the movement on this number?

So when life gives you lemons, leave 'em! Go get yourself some deep, earthy, ochre. It's the new fall color and it goes with everything. Seriously. Picture it with navy, black, emerald, plum, yeah.

Tied with a Ribbon

On Monday we looked at bow belts and I thought we would keep the bow trend going with some ribbons. More specifically, ribbon necklaces. I really like this look especially with heavier, statement necklaces because it offers a more feminine take.

Topshop, Faceted Bead Ribbon Collar, $45

I mean, hello? Pink, black and gold. So sweet and yet so bold.

Loft, Cast Stone Necklace, $39

Soft tones make this necklace perfect with a cream sweater and simple long sleeve tees.

BaubleBar, Jasmine Ribbon Necklace, $58

This necklace screams blogger to me. Its bold, a little vixen-y, all balanced with a black ribbon.

J Crew, Metal Shield Necklace, $52 (use code SHOPNOW for an extra 25% off!)

How about something a bit simpler? Minimalist at its best, pair with a turtleneck cashmere sweater.

Ribbon necklaces aren't all frills and rainbows. They have some weight to them, and that's why I like them. It's a great juxtaposition.

Be Kind Today

No fashion today lovebugs. Today we are taking some time to thank those who keep us safe. A huge thank you to those who have to take time away from their loved ones and miss holidays, birthdays, and school plays because they are keeping us safe. 

We don't always see the warriors in plain sight; but they are there. Some are dealing with PTSD, homelessness, and financial issues. This isn't a soapbox blog post, but rather a reminder to just be kind. 

We are lucky to be able to distract ourselves with patent leather heels, cashmere cardigans, and general fabulousness. Today, and tomorrow, and next month, let's distract ourselves with kindness. Hold the door, pay it forward, do whatever it is that makes this world a better place. 

Thank you veterans, thank you to those who serve.

Be kind today.

Put a Bow on It

Hi lovebugs,
It's Monday, so I'm going to keep this pretty short and sweet. It's cardigan season, it's also layering season, which means it's also belt season. Today we're looking at bow belts. These are an easy and chic accessory that you can pair over you cards, add a waist to a dress, put over your coat, do I need to go on?

Target, Mossimo Bow Belt,$14

This shade of brown looks so rich. I'd pair it with a navy sweater dress.

Nordstrom, Kate Spade Lace Print Skinny Belt, $46

A beautiful lace that would add the perfect pop to a bridesmaid's dress or a suit.

Bluefly, Ivanka Trump Teal Embossed Faux Leather Bow Belt, $24

Ok how about a crisp white oxford with this pop of teal? Oh yes. I love it!

White House Black Market, Red Silverstone Skinny Bow Belt, $44

I like this skinny red option for a bold print. It adds a pop of wow to big pattern.

I love layering season and I love accessorizing in unexpected ways. These feminine belts can work with a trench coat, tunic, dress, you name it.

Be fabulous today!
