Sooo….apparently I’m not ready to give up my off-shoulder obsession yet. Can you tell? This dress was too good to pass up, considering it’s $40, and my favorite fall color! I loved dressing it up with a few fall accessories too. These heels are so great because they work for both summer and fall (see summer look here). As I mentioned in this post a few weeks ago, I always try to purchase pieces that can be transitioned from one season to the next. It really is the smartest way to shop.
 
I’m definitely on the struggle bus today, after a majorly long (yet SUPER) fun weekend in Vegas. I’ve been there more times than I can count in my life, but this trip was just a special one and ranked up there as one of the best! Always hard to come back home and adjust to real life again… 
 
Thanks for reading, and have a wonderful week ahead!

I love that the season for wraps is upon us. This one actually has small pinstripes and is on major sale right now too. I love how easy they are to just throw on and go (this one from last year is still my ALL TIME favorite!). Truthfully, they are one of my favorite things to wear with a great pair of jeans. Can we say bell bottoms for the win? Love me a good flare, no matter what the season.
 
I’m currently out of town, and have a super fun weekend ahead of me! Follow along on Snap to find out where I’m at! (@lipgloss_lace). Oh, and for all of you wondering about my hair – it’s fixed! So, thank you for all of the good hair vibes. I was a major stress case this weekend…
 
Have a beautiful weekend, and thanks for following along!

Is plaid not just the best fall print ever? Talk about helping you get into a pumpkin patch mood, right? Hand me a Starbucks, and let’s go! It’s definitely not just for your 90’s grunge band or prep schoolers anymore. What I love most about the print, is the fact that you can find it anywhere and on anything. A few of my favorite plaid posts last year were these heels, this blanket scarf, and this check coat. Can’t wait to add a few more fun pieces to my collection this fall!
 
If you follow me on Snapchat (@lipgloss_lace), you would have seen this weekend that I had a major meltdown about my hair. Let’s just say my normal appointment that I go to every 6 weeks, turned disastrous when I ended up with GREY hair. Like, my whole head is not the right color and she can’t fix it until Tuesday! Send me good hair vibes this week, because I am completely stressing out that it can’t be fixed!! -xo

You know it’s fall when you’re excited about leaves on the ground, cool weather, crisp mornings, hot drinks, pumpkins, boots and…chunky sweaters! They are pretty much the best invention ever, right? For freezing temperatures. For fat days. For weekend errands. For mountain trips. For bedtime when they’re so comfy you just don’t wait to take it off. For everyday, no matter what the occasion! They simply are my favorite to wear and style. Hope you have a favorite sweater you get to use soon too!
 
Thank you for reading, hope you have a great weekend!! I’m doing one of my favorite hikes in Laguna Beach on Sunday, and then the rest of the weekend I’ll be watching a few of the live feeds from NYFW. Add in a glass of wine, and it’s going to be the perfect weekend! ♥

This time between seasons is always the hardest for me, fashion wise. It’s not quite summer, and it’s definitely not fall…so what’s a gal to do with her wardrobe? One thing is for sure, I don’t want to buy a bunch of new clothes, because most likely I won’t get a lot of use out of whatever I get.
 
The solution? It’s what I like to call Shopping My Closet. Using what I’ve got to get me through this “waiting” period, until the weather begins to change from one season to the next. Here are the tips I use when shopping, making it easier in the long run for me to shop my closet:
 
1) Get Organized – If you can’t see your clothes, you don’t know what you have. Try on everything, and narrow down your choices to things that fit and are in good condition. Donate the rest.
 
2) Buy Transitional Pieces – These are pieces that can be worn from season to season. You’ll find that you’ll spend less on clothing when an item can seamlessly go from summer to fall. Light weight sweaters, cardigans, wrap dresses , pencil skirts and denim are all items that can take you through multiple seasons.
 
3) Invest In Timeless Pieces – A little black dress, wrap dress, capes, a good blazer, dress pants, great fitting denim, a good leather jacket and my favorite – well constructed coats. Limit the amount of trendy pieces! 
 
Thank you so much for reading, and hope you are having the best Labor Day weekend, friends! Can’t believe summer is over…sad!
