With fall quickly approaching, it’s time we put away the bright colors and introduce richer shades into our wardrobe. As the weather cools down, I’ll be sharing some of this season’s major color trends to help bring your wardrobe up to date.
Lesson #1: Red is out. Oxblood is in. Not a big fan of the name, but I’m obsessed with the color. It’s a dark shade of burgundy with hints of brown and its richness just exudes warm and cozy feelings! Check out my favorite oxblood items below and let me know what you think of this fall color trend.
1. J.Crew Edie Attaché Bag — $298
2. ShoeMint Hillary Bow Flat — $79.95
3. Topshop Sleeveless Peplum Top — $36
4. Essie Downtown Brown Nail Polish — $8
5. AllSaints Prism Pipe Skinny Jeans — $120

So my sweater weather post might’ve been an understatement after a tornado watch was issued for NYC and much of the east coast yesterday. Don’t worry, nothing but heavy rain and gusts of wind (strong enough to give me a little tussle!) in my neck of the woods. Luckily, I actually got to enjoy said sweater weather and took these photos before the storm rolled in.
Top: Old Navy (check in stores)
Shorts: Topshop
Necklace: Spike the Punch

Bag: Coach
Shoes: Pour la Victoire (similar)

Before last year, I owned zero sweaters. That’s right. Zero. They were never a shopping priority while I lived in Arizona, but after deciding to move to New York, I started stocking up on thicker knits. Now that sweater weather is quickly approaching,* I can’t wait to start piling on the layers! I’m currently adoring this striped sweater from J.Crew Factory, which will pair perfectly with casual jeans and cool kicks.
1. J.Crew Factory Charley Sweater — $54.50
2. Gap 1969 Boyfriend Jeans — $69.95
3. Coach Legacy Penny Crossbody Bag — $198
4. Gap Suede Loafers — $39.95 (check stores for availability)
5. J.Crew Factory Charley Sweater — $54.50
