I, like most girls that have blogs apparently, love Hunter boots. The combination of function and classic style is what I appreciate. They're always good in rainy weather, but when you add in the adorable wellie socks they make for good cold weather gear. SO, as a big fat FYI, COSTCO is selling Hunter boots online........at a STEEP discount. Including the classic glossy reds above. You've got to have a Costco membership, and in some styles sizes are limited (one pair I ordered is on backorder), but they are literally half price.
Although I am currently kiddo-free, I am like most people in that cute baby clothes make me squeal. I love what Old Navy is doing for fall for tots; I am totally obsessed with the chambray + oxblood/maroon combination right now and they've got it translated into their kids lines. I would imagine all you moms appreesh the Old Navy pricing as well. Another fave is this adorable "fur trim" parka--it reminds me of my much-loved J Crew grown-up version (remember it from last year?). Click images above to shop!
We're getting that hint of crispness in the air around here. I've been wearing my jean shorts and freezing in protest. Things are busy busy; Paintbar is likely going to open in a few short weeks and there's been so much going on. I popped into the Furbish "Guatemalan Goods" trunk show last night and found tons of wonderful goodies (I snapped this precious trinket seen over on my Instagram), and tonight is the Parlor 1 Year anniversary partay. But I spent some time this AM perusing J Crews fall looks and thought I'd share my faves. They're offering 25% off of many of their fall items with code SHOPFALL, so now is the time to scoop things before they get gone. I am SO excited they brought back my favorite coat from last year, I'd really like to get the dusty ginger color or the heather dusk for this year. I had a hard time picking last season!
Chloé is one of my favorite brands, undeniably bohemian but still chic and modern. You may remember that white dress with buttons from Instagram, where it is hanging over in Vermillion. I'm obsessed with it. Chloé is out of my price range, but it serves as really good inspiration and I love going on a mission to find "the look for less". Anyhoo, just thought I'd give you a smattering of pretty fallish inspiration to kick off the post-holiday week. Click the pics for more details! Maybe it'll help you deal with the depression of the waning of summer. Maybe?
I'm reaaally excited about the new Como Se tanks that just arrived over on Ramey Rhodes. Y'all get it? #Punny
This is my favorite tee style we've done so far; it's a little bit flowy at the bottom, not too long, and the armholes are a little bit deeper than a standard tank. Definitely my favorite fit. Excellent for workouts but cute enough to wear around town. And funny. Shop it here!
I recently paid a visit to the Chanel counter at Belk's to have one of their visiting national makeup artists try and fix my face and ended up with some really pretty new products for Fall. One thing I've noticed about cosmetics and me-any time someone puts pink tones on my eyelids I'm scared, but end up loving it. It ends up giving you a natural looking glow. I was especially scared of the Illusion D'Ombre in Rouge Gorge because it looks so strong in the pot, but it's actually pretty mellow once applied. I also wouldn't have gravitated towards the green-based Fall Quad to create a lightly smoky eye but I LOVED it. It's much more subtle than going with a black or a blue, and I realized I've already been into the army green and pink palette anyways! I also love this quad, which is definitely more of what I tend to use, super classic. I've been using their volumizing mascara for about 6 months now and love it-one coat is all you need, and it never clumps. If you're in Raleigh, I can't say enough about my friend Jessica at Chanel (Crabtree Belk), she is so kind and so talented-go see her. Shop more of my fall faves below!
