Every year, I splurge on one new pair of boots. I got Tory Burch black ankle booties two years ago and tan DVF boots last year, and I wear them both all of the time (yes, it’s finally fall/winter in Texas!). As I begin to make my Christmas list, I’ve been tagging some of my favorite black (abd dark gray) boots. I love the Tory Burch Jess Boot (#5) and the Sam Edelman Shay Bootie (#2 – only $140!). Are you a boot fan? Have you spotted any other cute options?

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?
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).
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?

The temperature took a high dip in Houston this past weekend, which meant only one thing: dog walking season. Before going to the Galleria and a church meeting, Sasha and I took Sandy and Belle on a stroll through the neighborhood.
I finally got to wear my new J. Crew boyfriend button down, which I was pretty excited about.
The necklace of the season: J. Crew bubble necklace.
Obsessed with my new Kate Spade gold and white “Get Carried Away” bangle.
