It’s getting cooler (okay, just marginally!), but this means one thing: fall clothing. The best fall fabric? Tweed. I’m full-blown obsessed with this J. Crew tweed skirt, and plan on purchasing ASAP. Paired with the flow-y Joie blouse and a pop of Manolo purple, you seriously cannot go wrong.1) BaubleBar Bonbon earrings, 2) Joie Balsa Pocket Tank Top (Porcelain) , 3) J. Crew Classic bracelet, 4) Tory Burch Robinson Small Envelope Clutch, 5) J. Crew No. 2 Pencil in Multicolor Tweed, 6) Manolo Blahnik BB Patent Toe Pump (Purple)

The transition from summer to fall has begun in the fashion world, whether or not the weather in Texas reflects any seasonal change at all. For some cities, fall means bundling up in heavy coats, but in Houston, it translates into more muted (think less J.Crew neon) colors with little pops of color. I love the outfit below – the classic J. Crew anchor, the beautiful Kate Spade yellow jewelry, and of course, my favorite Tory Burch Beverly pumps.

Perfect for a fall frolic!1) Kate Spade ring, 2) J. Crew top, 3) Kate Spade necklace, 4) Amazing Chanel Shopping Bag purse, 5) Tory Burch bracelet, 6) Tory Burch pumps, 7) J. Crew skirt

I feel like defending myself every time someone tells me that my new tennis shoes are the same color as all of the Olympic runners. “I got them first, I swear!” Regardless, the fluorescent yellow color is definitely “in” right now, and I’m loving the trend. Below you’ll see my go-to running get-up. Yes, I still use over-the-head headphones because I promise my ears are misshapen and the other style don’t stay put. The Lulu shorts are new – a present from Sasha’s sister. I ran my fastest 3mi run yesterday wearing them – I think they’re magic.

1) Nike racer tank top, 2) Lululemon Embrace bra, 3) Nike Motion headphones, 4) Roll down Lululemon shorts, 5) Nike+ App (a must!), 6) Nike Lunarglide 4 in Volt, 7) Asics running socks

And I don’t know about y’all, but I’m having Olympics withdrawals.

Any mention of Labor Day weekend, and I’ve got Tim McGraw stuck in my head. But really, I’m not mad at all.

This year, I have very mixed feelings about this holiday. A day off work? Wonderful. The weekend before I start my new project (in Houston!)? Elated. B-Ry’s “bros” coming to visit for the first time? Could not be happier. But it’s also the last weekend that my best friend, Alisdair, is going to be in Texas. He’s moving back to Scotland (where we became best friends 23 years ago!). It’ll be a weekend filled with laughter, joy, and tears. I guarantee there will be a ton of photo-opp moments, meaning I’ve got to be well prepared with my wardrobe. What to wear, what to wear? I’ve put together my ideal Labor Day celebration outfit below. Only half-way into assembling it did I realize it’s pink and gold. Clearly obsessed (see here).

1) J Crew Pink Bubble necklace, 2) Mona dress at Anthropologie (on sale!), 3) Jimmy Choo sunglasses, 4) Tory Burch Robinson Crossbody bag, 5) Essie Chastity, 6) Essie Golden Nuggets, 7) Jimmy Choo Anouk Suede Pumps (obsessed!), 8, Kate Spade Strike Your Fancy Idiom bracelet, 9) Baublebar Pink Twist Cuff

Come to think of it, this point was (subconsciously) very inspired by Rachel of Pink Peonies. I love her style so much!
