An overflowing closet can make me feel like I have nothing to wear! Totally ironic, right? You’d think the more clothes, the more outfit options. Well, this is not necessarily true. I’ve been noticing that really stylish women seem to have fewer items, but they wear them often on rotation.
Home Hop: I want to share two versions of this year’s holiday entryway. The Inner Peace Wreath is the focal point and my goal for this holiday season. This space is a challenge. It’s too small to be a room, yet it still needs decor and a welcoming vibe.
The best classic comeback for fall fashion is knee high boots styled with a midi skirt. Flattering, functional, classic and fresh–you gotta try it. The length of the skirt and the height of the boots can make or break your look. Think of this silhouette as the new thigh-high for 2018.
Fall is an awkward time of the year for a fashion lover. You’re not sure if you’d like to continue to wear your favorite summer look or try to mix in a winter coat. This year, instead of the latest trends, my goal is to build a wardrobe based off pieces that I will wear effortlessly and often.
The Shopbop Event of the Season is going on now until midnight Sept. 29th. Shopbop surprised me last year and extended the sale an extra day. Who knows if that will happen again this weekend. So have fun! Use code STOCKUP18 to save 20% on orders under $500 and 25% on orders over $500. It’s the perfect time to shop the latest fall styles.
This season my favorite accessories are all shades of brown and inspired by nature. I love the wood details for shoes and bracelets. Little bits of animal prints and tortoise also add to the natural fall vibe.
A Balmain blazer is a structured slimming jacket which can be worn season after season. It’s a must-have classic blazer for celebrities and fashion lovers alike. This blazer stays in rotation because of the bold yet flattering structured shoulders and slimming waistline. It’s also easy to wear with jeans and dresses. A Balmain blazer is expensive but there are some wonderful look-alikes that are more affordable.
Another classic is the jumbo or maxi Chanel flap bag. I just had to post this happy moment walking last week for Bella Bag in the Style South fall fashion show at the Shops of Buckhead. Walking the runway was a first for me and extra special because I found my first vintage Chanel bag at Bella Bag about 4 years ago. I’ve been obsessed with vintage Chanel ever since. Bella Bag’s flagship store is in Atlanta and you must check it out if you’re a bag lover and looking for something unique.

SCANDI BOHO STYLE – The long-elusive name of my long-standing design crush.
I’ve been pinning images for months. And I’ve just now realized my decorating crush has a name. Editing down neutral color palettes integrating woven natural fabrics and textiles gives my beach bedroom characteristics of Scandi Boho Style. What is this style exactly? I can already tell you it’s the best of both worlds for anyone that craves artistic expression with a love for natural neutral decor.
What is Scandinavian Bohemian?
“Whether you’re a sworn maximalist or a devoted minimalist, the Scandinavian-bohemian combo is a fashionable fusion of both.
Stop what you are doing and check this out! A one-piece bathing suit that looks good on everyone and it’s $25 on Amazon. It’s high waisted so it covers your stomach and the halter design allows you to customize the straps. This retro-inspired, halter top bathing suit has many positive reviews on Amazon for a reason. It fits like a dream. It also comes in many other prints. The fabric is high-quality and it’s put together well. I’m obsessed. 🙂
When I saw this classic halter bathing suit it reminded me of the top part of Marilyn Monroe’s famous white halter dress. It’s classic, simple, and ladylike but flirty.
Summer Lovin and hello sunshine! Finally after 12 days of rain 😉 Today I want to share 3 summer favs that are all great prices and sure to be used a lot. Let’s start with this beautiful strapless eyelet dress with tassels. It’s been a favorite and is on sale for $52. I’m also obsessed with this fringe beach hat from Amazon. It serves double duty, as it’s also great for decorating. It is pretty on the wall in my beach bedroom. And last but not least, we have these comfy sandals. Everyone is loving the flat slide version, but I prefer these wedges. They are much more flattering and are on sale here.
Max out the Maxi Dress
One Maxi dress. SO many ways to wear it. What makes this dress so versatile? It starts with its simple, clean and classic lines. The buttons from top to bottom enable you to wear it open or closed. And yes, wearing a dress over shorts IS a thing. I’m going to say it’s a cornerstone of the 60s freedom movement.
