This Fall I'm mad about plaid - buffalo check plaid to be exact. It's everywhere and I can't stop adding this print to my wardrobe!
Considering we are still having a heatwave here in Southern California, this sleeveless tunic is beyond perfect for my transition into a SoCal Fall/Winter. Normally, I'm not one to rock a loose flowing top. In fact, I had a short affair with Stitch Fix a while back, but I had to break it off because my stylist didn't quite understand what 'cinch at the waist' meant. Anyway, I saw this gem pop up on Fira Boutique's Instagram page and I instantly broke my 'no flowing top' rule. I'm so happy I did! Every time I wear this top I get compliments so I knew it had to be my first blog post.
Ya'll know I love accessories, but have I told you I have a bourbon problem? Bourbon and Bowties to be exact. I have a large collection of these bangles that I love to mix and match depending on my look. I'm loving the stack of bourbons with this outfit. It's edgy with a touch of sparkle and glam - just the way I like it. I got all 3 bangles at Fira. I blame Fira for my Bourbon problem. They still have the large quartz bangle available online here. Fira also has a huge collection in store for all you local Illinois peeps. Nordstrom's also just picked up the Bourbon and Bowties line, that's how you know it's good. They have the large Durzy (for a little glitz) and Arrowhead (for that edgy glam) bracelets available online as well.
A girl can never have too many accessories and I have a closet full of statement necklaces to prove it. I love when I can find a chic, affordable piece. I can always count on H&M and Forever 21 to deliver a good statement necklace. The gem I'm wearing above is still available at online at Forever 21
Okay I'm sure you're all "But can we talk about that bag?!" Yes, my friends, we can. I am OBSESSED with this fringe tote. I was on the hunt for the perfect fringe bag this Fall. I probably ordered 4 different bags and when I pulled this bad boy out of the box, I knew it was THE one. It's literally the perfect bag. It fits all my mom crap. In fact, there is likely a diaper, some wipes, a spiderman toy, 3 half eaten granola bars, and all MY stuff in that bag as we speak. But the long fringe and rough suede says 'no mom jeans in this closet' If I could marry a bag, it'd be this one. Thank you, Nordstrom for making my fringe bag dreams come true.
Speaking of mom jeans, every girl needs a great pair of distressed black skinny jeans this season. They are so versatile. You can dress them up or down, wear them with booties, boots, or even heels. I found mine at Nordstrom. These run big so I'd order a size down. What?! Cute jeans that make you feel skinny? Yup. You're welcome.
The even better news is that both items are still available AND under $60 each! This momma loves a smacking deal!
