Fluffy Sweater, Python Scarf, and One Amazing Hat

Sweater: H&M (similar); Boyfriend Jeans: LOFT (similar/on sale); Boots: Frye (similar);

 Scarf: Target (similar); Hat: Sole Society (c/o); Bracelet: Stella & Dot

A rainy fall day calls for a fluffy sweater, python scarf, tall boots, and one amazing hat! If you love hats, and need a super chic one for fall, then go grab this one NOW from Sole Society!

The sweater was a last season H&M find for under $20 and it's still on trend! It's so soft that at times I'm tempted to use it as a blanket! Because there is so much volume to the sweater, I went with a straighter leg jean. Tall boots keep the long line going. The python scarf adds some additional texture to the look. And the hat, well it simply had to be worn!

I hate that summer has moved on, but I love FALLing in love with my fall wardrobe again! And, being challenged with how to make it more casual is going to be a fun task!

Weekend Wear - Sweater, Boyfriend Jeans, and Ball Cap

Sweater: LOFT (50% off sale); Tank: LOFT (similar); 

Boyfriend Jeans: LOFT (similar/50% off); Flats: Tory Burch (similar); 

Handbag: Pour La Victoire (similar); Ball Cap: J.Crew (gift/fun options 1/2); 

Lip Color: L'Oreal Extraordinaire by Colour Riche in Plum Adagio

So the weekend rolls around, you have errands to run, and just don't feel up to the whole "getting ready" thing. No problem! Just follow my lead for a perfect weekend look. I paired a subtle print sweater with boyfriend jeans and grabbed one of my favorite ball caps to mask the unwashed hair and makeup free face. 

Beauty Tip: To add that little bit of color to your washed out face, throw on some colored lip gloss. I added a deep plum gloss to compliment my hat! Used to be that women matched their lips to their nails so I'm thinking a new trend in beauty is to match your lip to your hat!

What do you do when in a rush to get out the door? Let's talk!

KCFW Project Runway Shows - Casanova and Joshua McKinley

The amazing designs continued with Casanova and Joshua McKinley. Casanova brought us some incredible swimwear, some of which I only wish I could wear. And the models didn't help my self-esteem! However, the collection had me longing to be poolside especially in those chic see-through pants!

 

Joshua McKinley gave us bold, bright colors mixed with prints that ranged from stripes to animal to sequin leggings. Yes, I said sequin leggings and they were part of his menswear! Gotta a love a man who can rock sequin leggings! I loved the playful collection, especially the Metrocard clutch that I need STAT! Joshua McKinley, can you hook this wanna-be-city-girl up?

   

 

 

 Do you recognize this familiar face? When a fellow designer is down a model, you throw on the look and hit the runway! And that Anthony Ryan knows how to walk a runway!

   

 

 Side note: Laura Kathleen came out in this look at the end of the night. Nothing like being able to wear a runway look for a night out on the town!

 

The most memorable part of this runway show was seeing this sweet girl walk the runway. Elizabeth is a 19-year-old aspiring model who has been diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumor. As part of her Make a Wish, Joshua McKinley had her walk in his show. And not only did she walk, she was the final model! She received a standing ovation from the crowd, hugs from Joshua, and I truly hope it made all of her wishes come true! You go Elizabeth!

Another amazing show!!

KCFW Project Runway Shows - Laura Kathleen

  Saturday night's runway shows featured six past Project Runway designers and there was no way I could write just one blog about all six shows. You will have to bear with me this week as I talk about each show and provide all the photos I was able to capture. But what you will see is pretty incredible!

 The show started off with one of my personal favorites, Laura Kathleen. I met her earlier in the year during the spring shows, and believe me when I tell you, she's awesome! I've really enjoyed the time I've been able to spend with her, whether it was last spring or over the weekend, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some additional time together. I also consider myself incredibly lucky to own a couple of her pieces and I really want to add a few pieces from this collection to my wardrobe. See why!

      

   

     

 

    

    

 

 

    

    

Simply amazing! I loved everything and this isn't the whole collection.! My wants? The gray, blue, and black satin jumpsuits! I love the white asymmetrical white blazer. So chic and so versatile. And how luxe is that toffee cover-up? Now I just need a magical trip in which to pack it! 

I can't wait to share with you my look featuring a Laura Kathleen original! A true Dream to Reality for this girl!
