I’m loving this season’s blue and burgundy color combination. From beautiful lace slip dresses to corduroy pants paired with cozy sweaters, it’s a gorgeous color combination for fall. Here are a few pieces to help you achieve the look.
I was preparing for a rainy weekend, but instead we were treated to beautiful weather and some much needed cooler temperatures. My daughter is home for the weekend, so we spent our time cooking, shopping at the farmers market, furniture shopping, and trying a new restaurant. A friend had recommended Betsy’s in Altadena, so we ventured out Saturday evening, and it did not disappoint. The new restaurant from Tyler Wells, co-owner of All Time, is a cozy neighborhood bistro centered around live fire cooking. You’ll find Tyler roaming the restaurant in his signature short sleeve chore coat, chatting with guests and making everyone feel at home. It was definitely worth the drive, and we’re already looking forward to going back.
My daughter is home for fall break, so we started our day at the Brentwood Country Mart for a little shopping. It was my first time visiting the new Sézane store, they did a beautiful job with the space. It has a warm, cozy boutique feel with herringbone floors, beautiful wood displays, and burgundy accents. This gorgeous shawl collar coat (a Toteme look for less) came home with me!
Next, we headed to DÔEN, where we could have easily bought the entire store. Their fall collection is gorgeous, and I’m especially loving the combination of blue and burgundy, like this cami pictured below. It reminds me of the Christian Louboutin hotel we stayed at in Melides, with its exterior painted in the most beautiful shades of blue and burgundy.
I originally went in to try on the lace Henri top, but it hasn’t arrived in stores yet. Instead, I tried on the Idella top, which is the perfect going out top, along with the Zelie top, which my daughter ended up getting. This rich chocolate lace dress and fringe plaid skirt are also beautiful additions to a fall wardrobe.
On our way out, we made one last stop at Hudson Grace. These Bon Appétit plates are so cute, and my favorite Sabre Bistro silverware is on sale!
This weekend I got a break from the sweltering heat and headed to the Midwest to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. We had the most beautiful fall weather. The air was crisp and the leaves were just starting to change colors.
My daughter and I spent some time walking around Madison, and she was stopped several times by people asking where her sunny yellow monogrammed tote bag was from (below).
Also on my radar this week is the Reformation x Alexa Chung collaboration. It’s a 30 piece collection of vintage inspired partywear (check it out here).
Lastly, the big round buckle belt has been everywhere at Paris Fashion Week. I found this great version from Madewell that gives you a similar designer look for less.
I just met my daughter in NYC for a long weekend. We shopped, ate, and spent time with family and friends. It was a rainy weekend, but that didn’t stop us from doing all the things we love in the city. Here’s what I packed, along with a few things we spotted while out shopping.
A.L.C Lindsey Midi Dress, $355 I love this dress with a blazer over it, I ended up wearing it twice but switched up the blazer for a different look.
I’ve been finding so many great designer pieces at Nordstrom Rack these past couple of weeks. I’ve scored some amazing finds from Ulla Johnson, TWP, Veronica Beard, and Isabel Marant, all at major discounts. Here are a few things I bought, along with some other great pieces I found!
I’ve been seeing a lot of bandana print skirts lately, and I loved this oneJulia Berolzheimer was wearing to the Veronica Beard NYFW event. She paired it so nicely with a blue Oxford button down, Chanel cardigan (I also like this B&ASH one), suede bag, and leopard boots. A couple of other options for a similar flowy, printed silk midi skirt are this one from Sandro and this one from Ulla Johnson.
A couple other things…
Red pants are trending, and I purchased a pair from Pistola and Nili Lotan (size down). After trying them both on, I decided to go with the Nili Lotan pair. I liked the fit of both, but I preferred the Nili Lotan because they don’t have the black buttons.
Also trending are red sweaters. I’m seeing them tied around the waist, thrown over the shoulders, and paired with blue. I love that color combination. This one from J.Crew is a great way to get the look.
I have been anxiously awaiting the drop of the J.Crew x Eckhaus Latta collection, and it’s finally here! The limited edition collection takes some of J.Crew’s most iconic styles and gives them a cool, fashion forward twist. Here are my favorites from the collection.

Duffle Coat, $498 My favorite piece from the collection! First picture.
Good morning, everyone! I’m trying to squeeze it all in before the Men’s US Open final starts in a couple of hours. Blogging, the farmers market, and yoga are all on the agenda this morning.
I did a little shopping this past week and found some really good pieces. Here’s what I bought!
I always get the most excited about fall fashion, and this season there are already so many standout pieces that I think are worth adding to your wardrobe. I love the simplicity of the polo button down above, especially paired with a bright red sweater for a fun pop of color and bucket bag.
Camo is everywhere right now, and I’m seeing so many great pairs of pants like these, these, and these. A cozy half zip pullover is another fall must have. I especially love this Miu Miu, but for a more affordable option, this Mother version with a pop of leopard is so good along with this chic one from The Great. I’m also loving this J.Crew OG anorak and hoping they release it in more colors.
The Margiela Tabi is definitely having a moment, and I have to admit, they’ve really grown on me.
Lastly, the bomber jacket is one of my favorite jacket silhouettes for fall. It feels effortless and cool and works with everything. I like this one by Nili Lotan, along with this suede version from Reformation.
Banana Republic just launched a collaboration with La Ligne and there are so many good pieces! The collection has that effortless, classic chic feel that La Ligne does so well. Think great stripes, easy knits and elevated everyday pieces that are perfect for transitioning into fall. I rounded up a few of my favorites from the collection below. To check out the entire collection, click here!
Summer has officially come to a close, which means it’s time to turn our attention to fall fashion. These stunning Gabriela Hearst boots recently graced my feed and I’m obsessed, just not with the price tag. I did a quick search and found the Frye Campus boots, which are such a good alternative.
Lastly, I’m loving the western inspired Nili Lotan Towns boots, along with the Isabel Marant Duerto boots. Both feel chic, effortless, and perfect for fall. Now onto the OOTD, and elevated evening look.
My husband and I planned a last minute trip to Portugal and decided to revisit a similar route we did last September. We really love Portugal. The food, the beaches, the people, and how easy it is to get around makes it such an appealing destination.
We started our trip in Lisbon, where we stayed at The Ivens Hotel, which I absolutely loved. From there, we headed to Comporta, a boho chic beach village about an hour and a half from Lisbon. We stayed at Spatia, which I really liked and would definitely recommend.
Our last stop was Melides, a beautiful, understated beach village that still feels relatively untouched. We stayed at Christian Louboutin’s stunning hotel, Vermelho Melides. He’s also building another property in Melides, this one is right on the beach with only 10 rooms. I’m already intrigued!
