August Haze - This & That
Even though school is starting back and the hustle and bustle of fall is returning, the last few weeks of the summer season and the sunny days remind us to slow down, enjoy, and not rush into fall! September is one of the most beautiful times to be by the ocean as the weather starts to be a little cooler and the light shimmers on the water in the mid afternoon. Even if you’re not able to take one last trip, there’s still time to wear those cute sun dresses, throw an outdoor dinner party, have a glass of wine on the porch and enjoy life! Labor Day is two weeks away, but summer isn’t officially over until September 22 so let’s savor what’s left!
Today, I’m sharing a few of my best selling items, a few fabulous Amazon finds and yes, a few fall fashion ideas! It’s still summer, but we all want to be prepared for fall! One of my favorite things is to plan a few outfits to wear on those first few cool days!
Dainty and beautiful…this necklace from Ana Luisa is completely summer proof, meaning you can swim, shower and basically live in it!
These slightly oversized denim shorts are a great length and perfect for now with a sleeveless top and later with a sweater!
I have these pants in six different colors and love them all! They fit like a dream!
This top is so much fun and perfect for dinner out! Love the sleeves in a cold restaurant. A real head turner!
Summer calls for unbreakable glasses and why not make them colorful!
This viral shoe style is going strong for fall! Comfortable and affordable, they’ll go with everything!
This bag is large enough to fit a phone, lipstick and credit cards. It’s a big style statement for only $125!
This linen dress from Spartina 449 is perfect for a wedding, brunch, shopping or just a casual day! Try it with sneakers for a really casual look!
This Bobbi Brown makeup palette is one of my best sellers for good reason! The color palette is perfect for any time of year!
These Chloe sandals have been going strong for several years and are another best seller!
I’ll be carrying my raffia shell bag through mid-September and it will never go out of style!
A white bag is a closet essential! I’ve carried this bag so often because it matches everything!
Eyeing & Buying From Amazon
This basic brown tank would be perfect under the mauve denim jacket above!
These rope sandals are all the rage and surprisingly comfortable!
A slightly cropped cardigan is perfect to thrown on with a pair of jeans on a chilly evening!
Every morning and evening!
I tend to gravitate toward darker wash denim when the weather gets cooler…
Love the platform on these sandals…if you’re a shorty like me, you understand!
Fall Outfit Ideas
Every season, denim seems to re-invent itself and this fall is no exception! In addition to the baggier styles, you’ll find tailored denim pieces that can be dressed up and are so chic! This jacket and denim pant from Rebecca Taylor are just fabulous!
This look elevates jeans and a white tee…there is nothing basic about either piece and adding the fun and very on trend leopard shoes only makes this look better! Simple jewelry and a fabulous, versatile bag complete the look!
More relaxed jeans call for a fitted top, nipped at the waist top to balance the look. The Tory Burch bag gives the this look even more structure and you can never go wrong with Gucci sneakers…it’s all about the balance!
I mentioned in my last post that I popped into Mango while I was in New York and found some amazing items! As you know, Mango has great prices and the quality is great! Here are a few of my picks for fall!
I hope you’re finding the blog a little easier to read with the new format! Happy Friday!
