Trending: Faux-Fur Vests {With Styling Tips}

Trending: Faux-Fur Vests
Have you seen these furry vests popping up all over this autumn?  From Target to Forever21 {showcased here} to high-end designers, these vests are the cat's pajamas!  But, don't fret they're all faux!

Not sure how to style one of these?  Keep reading & let that fear of resembling a yak or cave girl go the way of the woolly mammoth!  {That is, extinct.}

Faux-Fur Vest Tip 1.
Furry vests aren't actually anything new, they've been around before. They can definitely have a boho/hippie feel & what better way to pair em than with a vintage-style, patterned frock?


Faux-Fur Vest Tip 2.
Most fur vests are collarless, which makes them the perfect match for a collared shirt {or bow blouse}.  Dress it down with a chambray shirt or make it work-appropriate with a pretty silk button-down.


Faux-Fur Vest Tip 3.

Make it fit for a fancy dinner out by pairing it over a top or dress with a sequined, lacy, or otherwise fabulously embellished sleeve.


Faux-Fur Vest Tip 4.
Maybe the furry vest just isn't your style.  You can still try out the faux-fur trend, just go for smaller bits of fluff.

P.S.: How do you wear any furry wardrobe pieces?

It's Sweatshirt Weather, Darling!

Sweatshirt Weather, Darling

There is a certain unnameable nostalgia in wearing a sweatshirt.  It's as comforting as mac-n-cheese & carefree like Saturday morning cartoon fests.  This autumn take your pick from the traditional kiddie casual to the updated classier fare.  Whether cheering in the football stands or roasting marshmallows at a snazzy bonfire get-to-together, one can't go wrong with a sweatshirt, darling!

P.S.: I think we need a new name for sweatshirts.  If you think about the current moniker, it doesn't sound overly appealing, does it?

Taking It Into Autumn: Helping Your Summer Clothes Make the Move

Summer to Fall




You may have worn a cropped top during the summer months with just a simple sleeveless blouse, but now that we're in October {Who can believe it?}, layering over a button-down keeps the chill away.


A turtleneck is a fab base for layering summer tops.

Be a little bold & pair modest shorts with tights.


Boots over cropped summery jeans makes an easy autumn switch.

Summer to Fall III




Socks paired with summer's strappy shoe = year round footwear choices.


Trouser socks with ankle length pants make for cozy fall bliss.

Hope you found some helpful tips to take that summer wardrobe of yours into the fall!

Hello Autumn

Today's the first day of my favorite season!  I've already donned a comfy long-sleeved tee, done a bit of yard-sale-ing, & hung a leafy garland outside.  Let the season officially begin!  Here's some festive fall style inspiration I handpicked just for you via Pinterest!
