Spring is officially here (PRAISE!!), and it’s time to transition our closets to the current season. This leather dress, a staple of my fall/winter wardrobe, can easily be transeasonal. Instead of wearing a sweater and boots, I’ve paired this dress with my favorite denim jacket and spring silk scarf. AND, who cares about the “white rule” – don’t be afraid to pull out those white sandals you haven’t worn since labor day.

What pieces in your closet are you transitioning to spring?

Jumping Into Fall

Can you believe it’s October? It seems like September flew by. Now it’s really time to transition our wardrobe into fall mode. I pulled out this leather dress today and layered it with a thin button down. When it gets a little colder, I’ll pair the jumper with a sweater and tights. I added an embroidered clutch that my friends gave me for my birthday and oxfords to complete the back-to-school look. Above I linked a bunch of similar Vince dresses that I think you are going to love!

Friday Finds

fridayfinds

Today I am headed to New York with my mom, and I can only imagine the walking we are going to do. I’ve decided to focus this week’s Friday Finds on the most comfortable shoes going into Fall. You don’t just need comfortable shoes in NYC, so I’ve pulled a few that we will need for those days when we don’t want to try too hard but don’t want to wear our tennis shoes either.

Vince Warren Slip-On

First up is the Vince slip-on. These come in all the coveted fabrics and colors of fall including olive satin and pink velvet. These shoes have been all the rage the last couple of years, but I love the height Vince has added.

Rebecca Minkoff Sammi Slide

This shoe is made for the times you are feeling a little more daring. These slides will be perfect for a legging and sweater combo.

Loeffler Randall Jasper Tassel Oxford

I love a great oxford – I’m sure you can tell considering I wear my snakeskin oxfords quite regularly. I picture myself wearing this shoe with a slim ankle length black trouser and a crew neck sweater. This shoe speaks “put together J. Crew” to me.

Paul Green Logan Bootie

Comfort is key when it comes to wearing a bootie. If they are too tight, your foot feels claustrophobic. If they are too big, you feel like a clown. Or at least I do. I love the colors this Paul Green bootie comes in. I envision you wearing this bootie with distressed jeans and a plaid button down, but that’s just me.

Vince Bray Loafer

Vince has done it again. Add a velvet loafer to your business casual or casual wardrobe. This shoe is something you can work into your daily rotation.

 

Thanks for stopping by, and happy Friday!

Well it’s been awhile since I’ve had time to devote to the blog. Luckily I have some awesome friends that don’t mind helping a sister take a few pictures. We are in LA this week, and we couldn’t be happier. The weather has been beautiful, but the wind is a little stronger than our liking. If only we could stay here for another week – there are hundreds of restaurants and beaches we have yet to try.

Last night we stepped back in time with Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. Not gonna lie, our teachers weren’t the only ones dancing in their seats! Now I understand why my parents love that era of music so much. I’ve noticed since we’ve been in London that the people here love to wear black and white – there isn’t much variety. I tried to fit in and made my dress and vest a little more casual with some pony hair sneakers.

Today’s stops included Wesley’s Chapel, Speakers’ Corner, and brunch at Sixty One. Running through the underground tube may not be a gift of mine, but I’m learning. The cool temps required a little something extra – not your typical summer sweater – for our church service this morning. We also learned that heels might not be your best bet on the underground.
