Faux Fur & Stripes

You guys, it's finally chilly enough for me to start wearing my Willow & Clay jacket. I got this at the beginning of May but any attempt at wearing this made me feel like a puddle of sweat. So not cute. Into storage the jacket went and well worth the wait.

Willow & Clay is a brand I discovered way back during market week. Their collections have a bohemian vibe and made for the free spirit. The jackets & kimonos are killer and affordable. Lucky for you guys, it seems like the line has gotten picked up by Nordstrom Rack & Saks Off 5th.

Since we shot these photos during the middle of the work week I went for casual glam. (I'm not a fan of getting too glammed to sit at my desk for 8 hours). Or, should I say another outfit to wear with stripes.

Seriously, I've been on such a freak over stripes lately. There's a J. Crew near me so after wearing this shirt for a bit I went back for the rest of the striped shirts. I'm not excited to see my credit card bill but at the same time, I know I'm going to wear the $hit out of them.

For this look, I wore my stripes with my coated denim and these sleek black boots from Zara (which are surprisingly comfortable). Since pockets are non-existent with this outfit I carried around this tiny clutch from Quilted Koala for all the important things.

Sidenote: I finally organized my skincare & makeup. There's a lot so I've begun using some of my kitchen cabinets to store them. Hopefully, I'm not alone in this. Do you guys store anything not kitchen-related in your cabinets?

Culottes for Fall

Happy Monday! By now you may or may not have seen my latest beauty post. If the latter is true make sure to click over to it here - gorgeous fall colors from Bobbi Brown 👌. I'm wearing their Soft Rose shade in these (just enough color for the day).

Fall's brisk mornings and balmy afternoons have made my go-to outfit as of late: sleeveless turtlenecks (always in black - so slimming), relaxed slacks and simple-stated pieces like this Jord watch I'm wearing.

FYI my Jord watch is handcrafted entirely with wood so it would be a great gift for any watch aficionados in your life or yourself.

Although my weekends are a whole different enchilada - I'm team leggings all the way - I've been wearing these culottes as much as possible. How easily they wrinkle kills me but they make look great, super elongated and curvy - so I'll settle for now. If any of you guys have great suggestions for culottes let me know!

Sidenote: Have you guys ever set an intention for the week? How did it go for you? I'm going to start setting an intention for every week going forward. For this week my intention will be to be more present and engaging when with friends and family - build up the memories & connect with those who matter most around me IRL. And to give my parents more hugs.

TSB: September Rack Up

What a month! I'd give anything for extra time in Lebanon and Paris. But, now that I'm back it's time to make the most of every single minute and hopefully work less. There weren't a ton of outfits photographed this month... because vacation. But, those that were posted were so fun and feminine. Can't wait to see what October holds for me, style-wise!
