Look Linger Love

We have been awarded with so many Fall trend choices this year. Yesterday on Instagram I shared my 5 Fall jacket trends I’ll be wearing – some structured leather and some soft chocolatey suede among them. What I didn’t expect was one of my favorite authors, Sarah Sadler, to shoot me a DM with a character bio for each look/vibe. Really fun, right? So thank you Sarah, here are my Fall jacket personas!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Brenna: Begged her mother Connie to take out a HELOC to open a boutique and immediately regretted it. Wants to be a Somme. Doesn’t know how to tell Connie.

Brown Suede: Shades of brown and velvety suede are BIG for fall. This is my old JCrew jacket from college but I’m loving this camel suede jacket, this cropped button down, and this classic lady suede jacket. Also really like this leather shrunken jacket from Madewell!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gretchen: Waiting for Jeremy in Jackson Hole for the final leg of the annual LoToJa Classic where she thought he would propose but instead he didn’t leave Utah and met a fellow racer named Amanda.

Oversized Barn Jackets: An easy and casual staple I really like this waxed Barbour jacket and this cord collar coat! Also really love this cropped version from JCrew.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Campbell: Senator’s daughter from Louisiana. Very few noticeable flaws. Leaves conversations that turn gossipy. Isn’t on social media. Still in love with her high school English teacher. Smokes cigarettes in the shower.

Lady-Like Creamy Tweeds: One of my favorite layers to throw over dresses or jeans! I have this Tanya Taylor creamy boucle jacket and I love the shape. I’m also loving this new button down jacket from Tuckernuck and this one from JCrew!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sadie: Met Rob, a budding microbrewer at FSU in 2016. Learned all of his secrets and started her own private label Kambucha wine cooler after he sent a late night text to Ashley asking ‘u up?’. Wildly successfully. Still fueled by revenge and Tay Swift’s song Mad Woman.

Dark Denim: Never gets old and I love an oversized look. This Agolde balloon jacket, this cropped boxy jacket, and this oversized sherpa lined cropped jacket are all so good!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lauren: A girl’s girl. Loves planning dinner parties and listening to murder podcasts. Perpetually late. Has promised to do stand-up comedy for her 35th birthday.

Structured Leather: This is another old JCrew leather jacket of mine from college! I’m so glad I hung on to these. The streamlined and structured leather look is really in this fall and I’m loving this zip up one from Madewell, this nutshell zip up jacket, and this gorgeous one too!

Okay didn’t Sarah’s character bios make this so much more fun?? She’s amazing. If you haven’t read Southernmost or Summer Solstice then YOU MUST! They’re both so good!!

With the kids back to school we are officially back to being busy! Here are 5 new fall arrivals from Walmart that won’t break the bank and will get you to the meetings and events and through the many carpools!

This rollneck navy and ivory stripe sweater is just a really good classic piece and is super soft and cozy. I have the size small and it’s only $20. It also comes in black and a maroon stripe.

I love this sleeveless turtleneck sweater mini dress so much! She’s cute dressed up or down! I have the size small.

This cropped trench coat is a no brainer and is definitely trending right now. It comes in khaki as well! I have the extra small so I’d say it runs a tad large.

This knit stripe long dress will be cute with a little jacket or sweater over the shoulders! I have a size small.

This half zip sweater is yet another no brainer you guys. It also comes in a stripe or a mustard color! It’s super cozy and runs true to size I have a small.

I also got a few new back to school items too like this adorable planner and these gel pens (fave!).

And isn’t this bamboo charging station so smart? It has hidden space underneath for charging cords for all your familie’s laptops, tablets, phones, kindles… Such a good way to organzize and declutter your countertop.

I hope you had a nice Labor Day weekend! Ours was so good, just enough fun and relaxing!! Today I wanted to share 15 of my recent purchases for fall!

Wearing:

black knit sweater (i’m in the size small/medium), the perfect jeans (i’m in a size 27), crystal jellies

black off shoulder sweater, blue floral pajamas, Armra colostrum, black collared sweater,

VB lip balm, green knit tee, ivory knit tee, Merit concealer stick, teeth whitening, underwear,

Victoria Beckham mascara, collared pajamas, light wash jeans, white jeans, the perfect jeans

Okay let’s discuss. I try A LOT of make up and let me tell you these three items are literally add-to-cart necessities! This Victoria Beckham lip balm is SO good (I have the Fleur shade and just ordered the Colette this morning). And you know how hard it is to find a great mascara, trust me this Victoria Beckham mascara is amazing. And Merit beauty has a cult following for good reason this concealer stick is above and beyond one of my favorite items! Moving on to new fall denim: These Levis are so good and comfy and well priced that I bought them in the white and also the light wash! I have size 27! And then these Pistola jeans I’ve named the perfect jeans b/c they’re pretty much perfect. I bought both a 28 (for more casual) and a 27 for more polished! I just reordered my Armra colostrum. If you haven’t explored why yet then please do!! This underwear pack is a great basic! And these collared pajamas are ridiculously soft and so inexpensize that Lilly has two colors!
