I adore Miranda Kerr. Her style is, as I'm sure you've heard a million times, effortless. One of my favorite looks for fall is a slight cuffed jean and booties. Whether flat or with a stacked heel it's so easy to pull together. Throw on a white tee, Vince makes my favorite, a classic blazer, a fun scarf and boots! Dolce Vita makes some great affordable options. The DV by Dolce Vita Cassidy boots are on my MUST HAVE list!  I love mine and they are so comfy. If you're looking for chic and incredibly affordable jeans Old Navy  is having a MAJOR sale through tomorrow. I absolutely love their Rockstar Jeans - and they have some pretty adorable tops and blazers on sale!  Some other favorite booties below!  JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.

I could tell you that my love for gold and cognac was just a phase, y'all it's here to stay. I recently purchased the Tory Burch York Tote in Luggage , with gorgeous gold details. The price point was fantastic and it was just the bad I needed to put all of my work files in. I can carry my portfolio, several client folders, an iPad, my GiGi New York Clutch and my giant pouch of Nars lipstick  - I've been wearing Carthage a lot. It's a beautiful hot pink matte lipstick. The best part it doesn't budge! Below you will find some pieces I'm loving in gold and cognac. I love the rich buttery brown paired with the beauty of gold accents!

We have an incredibly mild summer here in Minnesota. It snowed over two feet on May 2nd for goodness sake; however, the temperatures are starting to rise and per usual it's right as I'm craving to slip into a new fall wardrobe. While I'm loving my maxi dresses and sandals, I can't wait until it dips below 75 to throw on a jean jacket and statement necklace. My Frye boots are begging my feet to step into them and my blazer and sassy jacket collection has been feeling desperately neglected. After spending my 'happy hour' pinning away, I found some items that I can't live without. Some of them will just have to wait considering a $1,700 leather jacket isn't in the budget for this fall. What are you looking forward to sporting this fall?

  I'm split on this trend. I think it can go terribly wrong {like the man walking down my street in a pink sports bra} or look amazing {see Ashley and Alessandra above}. I'll be honest that Katy and Miley leave me with very little desire to ever try this trend. Crops and a Chanel just don't go hand-in-hand and if you're wearing leggings {even if you are rail thing} a little frontal/tush coverage is just the polite thing to do. I think Ashley Tisdale knocks it out of the park with a subtle, sweet, and sexy bit of her midriff showing. Is this a look you will be rocking in the last few weeks of summer?
