Olive Silk Sweatshirt & Brown Faux Leather Skirt

After spending the first week of November in Arizona, I remembered how wonderful fall is on the West Coast — that is, if you can even consider it a real season there.  No crunchy golden leaves on the ground — just glorious sunshine and tepid temps all day.  I reached for light layers that still emitted a bit of autumnal aura, like this silky sweatshirt-inspired top and a faux leather flared skirt.  And those strappy heels — oh man, how I’m going to miss open-toed weather.

Can you believe winter is already here?  It feels like yesterday that we were up to our knees in snow and now the polar vortex is already back … with a vengeance.  This week, I’ve been dusting off my sweaters and pulling my winter coats out of storage, but I’m not happy about it. I’m in desperate need of some winter inspo, so I decided to pull a few of my favorite winter/holiday looks from last year to remind me of why I sort of maybe enjoy the season (if that’s even possible).

Call today’s post a little bit of an #FBF, if you will.  I’m revisiting a few of my favorite cold-weather looks from last year with the help of Tagspire, a social commerce site that helps you (blogger or not!) make money from your photos or other photo inspiration.  All you have to do is upload a photo from a website or your computer and use Tagspire’s database to tag the exact or similar items featured in the photo.  You can even incorporate multiple tags per photo.  Share with friends, family or followers and cash out after every $50 of commission you’ve made.  It’s all about word-of-mouth and I’d say that’s social shopping at it’s finest.

Okay, so I may not be thrilled of the idea of short winter days and low negative temps, but I do love dressing for it.  Cable knit sweaters, faux fur snoods, and ultra warm vests … these are accessories that get me out of bed and out the door in the morning.  Hover over the tags to see where to get yours before the polar vortex rolls through your neck of the woods.  And don’t forget to sign up for Tagspire to make the most of the busy holiday shopping season!  For more on how it works, you can check out a video tutorial here.  Happy styling and happy shopping!

It’s been a little quiet around these parts, but after a whirlwind of a week, I decided to take some time off and soak it all in.  In sum, I spent last week in Arizona with friends and family, visited my alma mater to celebrate our 100th Homecoming and then this happened.  Best vacation ever, am I right?

Fall Black & Camel Outfit

Well I’m back in NYC and slowly getting back on the grind (read: my apartment is a disaster zone, my suitcase has yet to be unpacked and I spent yesterday at home sick and curled up on the couch).  I can’t wait to get back into the groove of things and share more with you, but until then … I’ll leave you with a little bit a sunshine and a major friends and family sale (you can get the top I’m wearing for an extra 40% off!).
