This week has been very, very busy at work, so I didn’t get to catch up on my blog reading until late last night. Lots of beautiful looks to pick from – I’m loving this transitional phase into fall. Lots of plaid, autumn colors and boots. Oh the boots. I especially like Sarah Vickers’ outfit – I want to wear that exact outfit to the Nutcracker this year.
While it’s not quite pea coat weather in Texas, I’m heading to NYC this weekend with a girlfriend of mine, and I wanted to get a new jacket for the trip. I looked high and low to thoroughly assess my options, and ended up getting this J. Crew coat. I adore J. Crew so much – and their winter line is incredible. All of the bejeweled sweaters get me so excited.
I thought I’d share my other considerations. I liked the bright cobalt color of the other J. Crew jacket, and the professionalism of the 3.1 Philip Lim coat. Burberry jackets have always been my favorite, and this pea coat is no exception.
What are your thoughts? Have you been coat shopping this year?

Oh gosh. So many favorites. I cannot decide if I’m clearly indecisive, or if there really are a million gorgeous looks posted every week (or weeks – as I’m a little behind). I honestly would struggle to narrow it down from this selection if I had to pick one favorite, so I’d go for Sarah Vickers (Classy Girls Wear Pearls), Samantha Hutchinson (Could I Have That?), and Rachel Parcell (The Pink Peonies). Which look is your favorite?
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?
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?
