Happy Monday!  Wearing another amazing buy from my favorite online shop Oasap! 

 

I've been looking for a faux fur stole for a while now, and yes I know this is a coat and not a stole but the faux fur collar is removable!!!  That means I can wear this as a coat or over anything else, like a stole.  If your not sure what a stole is, it's basically a scarf made of faux fur.  Here's an example....

 

 

Looking forward to styling the faux fur collar all on its own.  Stay tuned!

 

Have a great day!

Happy first day of FALL!  I Can't believe summer is officially over.  My heart hurts a little.  I'll miss you summer!  My weekend was uneventful but I did go to dinner with the hubby.  Even though it's Fall the weekend was rather warm so the sheer lace sleeves on this peplum blouse from OASAP was perfect.  I added red pumps for that pop of color.  I wanted to wear a red lippy, but I thought it would have been to matchy matchy, So I went more nude.  What do you think?  Should I have done a red lip?  Well folks, I hope your Monday is short and sweet!

Dinner with GLAM

 

Hello dolls!
In today's post, I'm trying to hold on to summer in this gorgeous blue midi dress.  Last Monday I attended The GLAM NYFW Dinner at the gorgeous Beautique in NYC.  The restaurant was beautiful and the food and drinks were delicious!  It was a lovely evening with great company.  As soon as I saw this dress at Macy's, I knew I had to get it.  The length and fit were fab.  I also knew that I would be able to transition it easily for fall with boots and a blazer.  If you know me personally you know that I'm always late for everything.  That being said, I didn't have time to pose for pictures so the hubby just snapped a few in the lobby of our apartment before I left. 
(Sorry in advance for the bad lighting.)

 

 

So looks like you only get 1 of me in the lobby.  After looking through all the pictures this was the best one.  Here are some fun pics from that night.....

Neutral Play

My sweet niece Sofia was my little fashion helper while on vaca in Chicago.  We have a special little bond since were birthday twinsies {5/15} and I'm gonna miss my little munchkin like crazy!  See you soon ! Xoxo

 

 

 

 

Bold colors and prints are my favorite for summer, but neutrals can be fab too.  Perfect for those hot summer days, which I might add are ending soon.  Boo!!!!!  But not that soon, I hear it's going to be HOT this week. 

 

This neutral color dress is perfect for any occasion.  You can pair it with heels or flats, with a belt or with a blazer on colder days, with a chunky necklace or how I'm wearing it here which is pretty simple.   

 

 

Hope you all have an easy Monday.

Sweater weather?  Yup!  I may have spoken to soon when I said I didn't want to wear fall pieces on the blog.  The weather in Chicago was beautiful but there was such a cool breeze.  Oh summer.....why do you have to end :(

 

OASAP has the prettiest sweaters for fall.  When I saw this one, I knew it was perfect for a night out in the city.  I loved the pattern and that it was super light weight.  Perfect for these chilly days and nights.   OASAP has become one of my favorite online stores.  Always on trend and unbeatable prices.  I also got my sunnies there for like $2! 

 

Speaking of accessories....how CUTE is this lippy clutch by Galian New York.  Their handbags have been featured in magazines like Lucky and People Style Watch.  My 2 favorite by the way.  Their bags for this season are filled with styles from the past from fringe to lady-like structured totes.  The fringe bags are perfect for the fall season.   

 

Have a great Tuesday loves!

Transitioners Magic defined my curls and even curled my unruly ends!  I didn't even diffuse my hair and my curls were poppin!  If your anything like me and have heat damage or any kind of damage on your curls, Transitioners Magic is a must try!
