Snapshots of New York

I just returned from a week in New York, and I wanted to share a few snapshots of the whirlwind week.

Fall was ablaze in the city that never sleeps… the leaves were painted autumn colors, the rain drizzled down wet and cold and scarves and jackets were a necessity.

I loved and soaked up every minute in the city, but after a week… I was ready to see and smell the pacific ocean with it’s breezes and fog that rolls in every night.. that is my fall!

A fall look

It’s fall.. so let’s have some fun with it! Layer up a look that is cozy, casual and chic!

Start with the diamond dress, then pull on the Capitan flannel shirt. roll the sleeves and leave it unbuttoned. One more layer.. add theCaptain Canyon Puffy Vest and top it off with the cozy beanie.

If it’s not too cold, leave the legs bare and wear wooly socks with lace up booties.

Coastal Halloween

With Halloween around the corner, I thought I’d leave behind talk of fashion and dive into the holiday spirit!

Style translates from clothes to home decor, and for the seasons it’s fun to get in the mood. This season, why not let the coast inspire some pumpkin carving that fits right in to the carefree days by the sea.

Who says the coast doesn’t have seasons.. we can bring them together in one happy Halloween marriage! So get decorating.

parka inspiration

A must-have this fall has to be the QSW Hand Crafted Parka.

Its the extra layer to every look, and makes just about everything look that much better. There are so many ways to wear it.. so take some inspiration from the looks below!

Take inspiration and go tomboy chic with the parka. Pair it with plaid, boyfriend skinnies and ankle booties.

Give the parka a Parisian spin by pairing it with stripes. Belt it and accessorize with a bright and colorful beanie.

Simplify the parka with a simple sweater and statement frames.

Dressing up the Brewsters

Dressing up my QSW Brewster slim boyfriend jeans

To gussy them up, I pulled out one of my favorite bow-tie blouse and paired it with this vintage “chanel-ish” jacket. It felt casual.. yet chic!  For the last touch, I slipped on my bow-embellished pumps. They were a charity shop discovery, and I have a feeling I’ll be bow-ing up a lot of looks this fall.

Get the look: labor day beach day

Another look at some labor day fun! Your weekend may HOPEFULLY send you down to the beach, lake or any fabulous body of water that lets you cool off and unwind before heading back into reality.

So take one last chance to celebrate summer, and show off your summer tan in the Iconic bikini . Layer up your look with the Autumn leaves strappy tank dress and throw on a wide brim hat and sandals.

One last hurrah before summer ends.. make it a good one!
