Military Glam

One of my favorite fall trends is “military glam.” I love the look of a pop of camouflage paired with a classy silk blouse and some high heels (especially these Valentinos). The key to wearing military-influenced clothing is to be minimalistic. The print is already very bold, so don’t try to “over green” yourself. Rachel Parcell of Pink Peonies pulls of camouflage stunningly here. J. Crew has some of my favorite camo pieces (a few featured below – numbers 3, 4, and 7). What do you think about fall style?

Favorite Looks of the Week

As someone who really appreciates photos, it makes sense that I love Instagram. I don’t have Facebook, so it’s my one social media vice. I try not to check it too often, but my self-control totally went out the window during NYFW. I was constantly scrolling through the pictures of the gorgeous shows – J. Crew! Ugh, perfect. Kate Spade? Gorgeous. Tory Burch? I want it all. However, my favorite part was seeing all of the fashion bloggers dressed to the nines. Some of my favorite looks are below. Which do you like best?

The Rugged Man

I bought Sasha this J. Crew Factory Sherpa-Lined Jacket for our upcoming Colorado trip because it was so cheap. I honestly had no idea if he would like it or not, but thank goodness, he took to it immediately and wore it around the house. It is very comfy, I must admit, as I’ve worn it quite a bit myself. The “ultimate GQ man” to me is very rugged – perhaps why I love Colorado as much as I do. Sasha loves this style as well and will be decked out in this very get-up during our trip (I do the packing, of course!). Those MacAllister boots are my favorite, but we had to buy insoles to make them more comfortable. What is your favorite male look?

PS How amazing are those lab boxers? We called them the Belle Boxers (after our pup).

I Love Tulle

It’s official: I have to get a tulle skirt. The perfect fall essential that can be dressed up to a party or dressed down to hang out with friends (see Blair’s layered chambray + checkered button-down combo). I’ve been seeing lots of tulle lately, and I decided that I need to bite the bullet and buy a skirt. I’m leaning towards the Free People About Girl Tutu (number two above). Are you a tulle fan?

Favorite Looks of the Week

Work has been crazy busy this week, and with Sasha in Austin for the University of Texas at Austin MBA in Houston Program’s (a mouth full?) “intensive week,” looking at fashion blogs before going to bed has been my calming factor. I honestly could not narrow down the number of “favorite looks” – there were so many. In fact, Jennifer (of The Native Fox) had two – she is a real-life Barbie doll though.

I drove to Austin last night, and we’re going to spend the day at Mt. Bonnell and Town Lake. Cannot complain! Have a wonderful weekend, y’all.
