VINTAGE STEVIE

Vintage Blouse | c/o TORN BY RONNY KOBO skirt ($218, $65.40) | ALEXANDER WANG emile tote | J.CREW gladiator sandals (25% off with code ALMOST FALL) | c/o TAUDREY nameplate necklace | KAREN WALKER number one sunglasses

On my first trip up to visit my alma mater Mizzou junior year of high school, my mom & I decided to make a road trip out of it. Along the way we stopped in St. Louis and I picked up this blouse from a little vintage shop. I love imagining that a Stevie Nicks type was the previous owner. Sometimes I'm afraid that the fabric is literally going to disintegrate while I'm wearing it, but you just can't beat it's diva hippie vibes.

I spotted this little tribal tapestry skirt on my trip to Chicago a few weeks ago and immediately scooped it up. I paired it with my go to chambray shirt, for drinks and sushi at Bistro 31 with my girl Mary. Sometimes you just need a girls night out!

I love how versatile these slip on sneakers are, and I can already tell that they will be one of my favorite pairs of shoes for fall. For a day of running errands, I paired them with fave tshirt dress-but I could easily dress them up with a pair of dark denim & a leather jacket. What do y'all think of these trendy kicks for fall?

BACK TO SCHOOL WITH HANES

When it comes to lingerie, I can't tell you how many times I've heard how it's all about you knowing what's underneath, even if no one else does. When I was younger, I had a hard time buying into that concept. Until I tried it. These days, one of my best kept little secrets for getting dressed in the morning, is starting with a great foundation. Whether it's an athletic-inspired look or a full-on ball gown, having on the right stuff underneath is an easy way to jump-start inspiration for an outfit.  In my opinion, if you're going to commit to a certain look, there's nothing wrong with committing fully. From the second I start getting ready (even while I'm standing there in my underwear) I'm already getting outfit inspiration. 

This season I've found myself loving Hanes New Collection Lookbook. It has a little bit of everything. I'm obsessed. As you know, I have a bit of fashion ADD. I'm thinking it might be on the verge of becoming a full blown fashion multiple personality disorder. My style tends to vary day-to-day (depending significantly on my mood) and my fashion favorites for this Fall are no exception.  But no matter if I'm opting for a Sporty, Preppy, or Glam look, if I'm wearing my Hanes Basics under my outfit I have the confidence to pull of any look.

One of my personalities has been leaning towards a sporty and minimal look for Fall. There is something about a neutral color palette that is so very modern & sophisticated.  Throw in a pair of tennis shoes and now it's edgy too. Let's face it, I just love a look that screams Off-duty Model.

Back to School just makes me want to put on my girliest dress and pearls. Call me crazy, but I love a Legally Blonde vibe...blame it on all of the new Kate Spade school supplies (which I think Elle would just adore). There is something so satisfying about wearing head-to-toe pink.

Said to be the hue of royalty, purple is one color that is always sure to make me feel like a glamazon. Last fashion week there were so many luxurious fabrics and rich shades of jewel-tones, the six month lag in production seemed like an eternity. Luckily Fall is just around the corner, and I have my favorite purple Hanes boy briefs to tide me over until then.

Who doesn’t love a little white dress? The white dress is the ultimate blank canvas, and the styling possibilities are endless. You can go casual with a great pair of gladiator sandals and maybe a denim jacket, or let you summer tan do the talking and go simple with a red lip & heels. No matter how you decide to wear it, you can’t go wrong with this style staple.

This summer I have been living by the pool -- it is just too hot to do anything else! My favorite suit this summer by far is this monogrammed bikini from RahRah Designs. Check out even more of their custom styles & colors here. And don't forget if you plan on being out in the sun, make sure and use plenty of sunscreen! This one from Supergoop is my personal favorite.
