Weekend Notes: 10.04.14

Fall Leopard Dress & Gold Rings

Can you believe it’s October already?  The weather is getting cooler, the days are getting shorter and summer feels like a distant memory.  I’m not too thrilled about that but going into my third fall in NYC, I have to admit that seeing fall foliage still stops me in my tracks and that’s something I can’t complain about!  Here’s what I’m loving this week:

On Air: Earlier this week, I shared my latest video over on YouTube.  Have you seen it yet?  I’m prepping for a visit back to Arizona later this month and talking about what to wear to a fall wedding.  I wanna know which option is your favorite!

Fall is Here: Everyone may have been buzzing about the Indian Summer last weekend but I think it’s safe to say that fall is here to stay.  I’ve got my eye on outerwear and I’m loving this tweed moto, this faux fur jacket and this bright red coat.

NYC Cribs: I’m loving Krista’s peek into her Chelsea apartment!  It’s one of my favorite places to hang on the weekends, so be sure to follow along on her apartment tour series!

Stock Up: Everything’s 40% off over at LOFT, including tons of new arrivals for fall.  I plan on scooping up these booties, this anorak jacket and this textured sweater.

Sale’s on Sale: And while we’re on the topic of sales, go ahead and take an additional 60% off at Ann Taylor.  Already in my shopping cart: this sleeveless coat, this leopard skirt and these black heels.

Girl Crush(es): I love Lauren’s interview with my favorite ladies: Danielle and Alaina of The Everygirl.  I hung out with them when I was in Chicago over the summer and I can’t tell you how passionate, driven and hilarious they are!

Wishlist Refresh: A few months back, I decided I wanted to invest in my dream bag: a Fendi 2Jours tote.  Now that fall is in full swing, I’m craving it in black or deep red.  Which one would you pick?

Fall Fling

Teal Maxi Dress & Jean Jacket

One of my favorite dresses is back for fall.  I originally fell in love with this teal maxi dress from LOFT earlier this summer and I plan on wearing it until it’s too cold to be rockin’ the side slit.  The best part is that transitioning a maxi from summer to fall doesn’t require that much effort.  All you need is a denim jacket and a leopard clutch and you’ll have that dress doing double duty in no time.  Sadly, it’s not longer available at LOFT, but the entire site is 40% off through Saturday — so shop to it and have a wonderful weekend!

The Perfect Fall Outfit

What to Wear This Fall

coat // pumps // rings // floppy hat // necklace // dress // bag // earrings // heels

I think it’s safe to say that literally everyone was gushing about the wonderfully warm weather we had last weekend.  But since fall is back and likely here to stay, it’s time to switch gears and talk about the perfect fall outfit.  As much as I’m dreading the shorter days and colder weather, I love dressing for the season.  I’m talking floppy hats, textured knits and cozy coats.  I will definitely be stocking up on all of the above for fall.

And speaking of stocking up, French Connection is giving away a $300 online gift code to help you build your fall wardrobe!  All you need to do is go to their website and put together a collage with your version of the perfect fall outfit.  If you have a blog, share it with others and send the post link to WinFrenchConnection@gmail.com.  The winner will be drawn on October 17.  Good luck!
