Once Fall is on the horizon, the easiest and most affordable way to feel you’re prepared for the brisk weather to follow is by investing in new blouses that compliment your signature style.

And this season is all about the blouse – bows, ruffles, bell sleeves or off-the-shoulder, the options are endless. In search of the perfect blouses with budget friendly price tags, I found four great options, all under $25 (one is even $9.99)! OMG. Yes, and it’s not even on sale! The miracle of fast fashion.

*Quick Style Tip: Buy any of these tops now and pair with your favorite denim shorts, while the weather still warrants it, and transition seamlessly in the Fall with jeans or tailored pants. Oh, how I love Fall. <3

Luxe For Less: Red and White Stripe Top Outfit Combination

Where do I begin about my beloved Blair Eadie of Atlantic Pacific…her style is everything and more. There’s rarely a post that isn’t a love at first sight. This image of her rocking a classic trench coat with a red and white stripe top made me long for Fall fashion sooner than later.

There’s really not much to it, it’s a classic well tailored look, but the red and white stripes make it feel new with the addition of a long navy vest layered on top. Her version from head to toe is a rent payment for most so I decided to re-create it for less!

Besides the trench at $150 (which is a great investment since it never goes out of style), all other pieces are either $70 or less (mostly $40 or less). Are you ready to channel your inner “Where’s Waldo?” for the Fall? I sure am.

Fall in Love with the Metallic Trend

August 14, 2016.Reading time 1 minute.

1. Top Shop Gold Bodysuit / 2. Zara Metallic T-Shirt / 3. Zara Gold Bomber Jacket / 4. ASOS Metallic Heels / 5.  Zara Metallic Clutch / 6. Nordstrom Gold Loafer / 7. ASOS Curve Metallic T-Shirt

Metallics have been coming on strong since the Spring but the question remains- have you fallen in love with the metallic trend yet? I am and have been for a while. Why I am especially liking them now is for the effortless way they can transition us all from Summer to Fall. Metallics act as a neutral in our wardrobe making them easy to pair with most outfits, in any season.

In addition to being the new neutral to love, they also add the perfect amount of shine to take the most basic outfits (I’m talking to the ladies who live in jeans like myself) from boring to well thought out. I suggest wearing one metallic piece at a time. Although, if done right, a head to toe look can be fierce.

To give you a head start I have picked out 7 metallic items to adore now and for the Fall. Hope to see you in metallics soon! Xo
