If you’ve been following me for awhile now, then you know that Fall is by far one of my favorite seasons. My next favorite thing? Mixing patterns together like stripes & leopard print. These two prints are so classic, and can be worn in several ways, year round.
Happy Monday, Friends!

Hello Friends! Since the weather has changed over to cool & crisp days here, I thought today I’d share with you my Fall “wish list!”
Happy Shopping!
J.Crew Blossom Print Silk Blouse
I love this floral top, and the feminine bow is the perfect finishing touch.
This would be such a great layering piece for Fall! Throw on over your favorite camisole, sleeveless top, and you’re set. Of course, I fell in love with the ruffles.
Treasure & Bond One Shoulder Sweater
This sweater comes in several colors, and would be so cute dressed up for a date night out!
I love the idea of taking the blush color into Fall. Such a delicate top you can dress up or down. It also comes in black.
How fun/preppy is this dress? It would look adorable with boots, too.
These pants are so chic! They could easily take you into the holiday party season!
How pretty is this handbag? It’s definitely on my Fall wish list, Christmas list, etc!
These mules are D.R.E.A.M! Don’t worry, Honey, they’re just in my dreams not in my closet, yet.
Boden Farleigh Colorblock Coat
I’m literally swooning over this color block coat. Camel with a surprise pop in the back! Love, love, love!
I would take the long straps off of this, and wear it for a date night. Lord knows I can’t fit everything for the daytime with the boys in it, but it’s great for a night out on the town!
Olivia Burton Mini Bow Stud Earrings
Adorable mini bow studs. Anything with a bow, and I’m pretty much sold.
I’m so ready for the Thanksgiving/Christmas seasons! This candle smells heavenly! We may or may not already be intermittently playing Christmas music and watching our favorite children’s Christmas movies with our boys!

Have a wonderful day!

Happy Tuesday, Friends! This is what I would call my “everyday” style. It’s an outfit that is put together, comfortable (currently a very important factor for chasing two little ones), & of course it’s a “look” made up of what I consider the “classics.”
During the week, you’ll mostly find me in a pair of chic flats, something like these, these or these; however, if we’re out and about on the weekend (like pictured above – we had just been out to lunch with our boys!), I’ll throw on something more fun, like these mules. And, to think I used to wear heels everyday before kids! Right now, my heels are reserved for church or date nights out. These are my new favorite pair of mules right now, mostly because the natural nubuck color goes with every outfit I wear, and the best part is that they come in 3 additional colors! Oh, and let’s not forget to talk about this bow sweater that’s a complete designer dupe. It’s so cute! It comes in 6 colors, too. I’m thinking of also adding the grey color to my closet right now.
What’s your “everyday” style?

If you can’t tell by now, I love the color pink. And if it’s done well, I love the color in pretty much every hue. I usually like to wear pink through accessories, and I have a few pink items on my current wish list like this pair of earrings, these, and this handbag is gorgeous! It’s a great way to brighten up this time of year, & obviously it’s nothing but perfection for Valentine’s Day. It looks chic paired with a monochromatic look like the all black I’m wearing, all navy, or you can even pair pink with red, like seen in my last outfit post here. The list could go on and on. And, it’s a more versatile color than most think. It’s simply “happy!” Wouldn’t you agree?
I bought this J.Crew coat years ago; however, there are still a ton of similar styles like this, this and this is a beautiful investment for your closet as well.
Happy Wednesday, Friends!

As you already know, there’s nothing I love more than an excuse to get dressed up, especially around the holidays. However, I’m not a big fan of being cold, which is why this sweater is a fantastic mix of classic & cozy. It’s quite perfect in the fact that you can wear it with your favorite jeans (like these, these & these), or you can dress it up, add your go-to pair of heels & voila, you’re party ready, cozy & warm!
Happy Tuesday, Friends!

I wanted this cape dress to be the official start of the holidays for Fancy Says Have A Ball. When I saw this on J.Crew, a few months ago, I knew I had to buy it, especially since it was on sale at the time. This is a dress that will take you from one Christmas party to the next. It’s great because you don’t have to wear a coat (or in most cases, keep up with one) to a party. It’s a classic sheath dress topped off with a cape & a bow. What could be better you say? I can’t think of anything more chic to take you into the holiday season.
I am a firm believer in giving each holiday “it’s own time;” however, this Town & Country article pretty much validated that it’s never too early to get into the Christmas spirit. Do you agree? Either way, I can’t wait to unbox all of our decorations, start our Christmas shopping & spread holiday cheer & happiness wherever I go. Thank you, Mom & Dad for a wonderful childhood of memories of Christmas (& Thanksgiving).
Happy Monday & Early Thanksgiving, Everyone!

There’s nothing I love more than wearing “winter white.” It’s so unexpected & “new” feeling on a cold, winters day. I bought this ruffle coat when my husband and I got engaged (circa 2009), and I literally wear it year after year. I have learned everything I know about style & how to shop from my Mom. She and I both invest in the more “classic” pieces so that you can wear them with almost anything in your closet. The best part about shopping for us, is the hunt to find those pieces, at great prices. Well, she’s right, again. Now, I’m just wishing I had bought this coat in the black & grey, too. I love to dress this coat up like this look I’m wearing, but I also love wearing it with my favorite jeans, a great pair of pumps & a cozy sweater, too.
Happy Tuesday!

Dressing lately has been a little bit tricky since we’ve had a “warm front” during the day time these past few weeks. I’m so ready for boots, cozy sweaters & chic coats, but if you look on the bright side, I will say, it’s a great excuse to wear my Summer tops a little longer. However, I was pretty happy that the temperatures cooled down at night, so I could wear this cute, little bow front coat for our evening out with friends. All in all, it was a perfect outfit for the best double date uptown.
Have a great day!

It’s finally “sweater weather” here, and I couldn’t be happier about it! Does it get any more chic than a classic dress, coat & pumps? I don’t think so.
I tend to invest in the “classics” that I’ll wear season after season, and this entire look represents what is old, is new again in my book!
Have a happy Monday!

There’s nothing I love more than getting “all dressed up” for a date night out! The best part about wearing a monochromatic look like this one, is that I get to add fun accessories. You know, all of the ones in my closet & jewelry box that aren’t so practical while toting two little ones around. My everyday jewelry consists of pearl studs, my gold watch & my favorite bracelet. There are so many great statement earrings right now, and gorgeous clutches to finish any date night look.
This J.Crew ruffle top is on sale right now, and it also comes in a pretty, pretty pink color as well. Don’t forget, lots of holiday parties are right around the corner. It’s the perfect holiday top for any upcoming events on your calendar!
