Moody Style: Cozy Sunday Style

Happy Sunday Friends!  So I think I’m going to start posting my IG posts on the blog as soon as I add it them Instagram. Let me know if you like this format better or if you would rather see them in an Instagram Roundup instead.

I’m really loving the cold weather over the past few days.  Mostly because I finally have an opportunity to wear my winter pieces without sweating to death.  I believe that the highs for today were only in the mid 40's, which isn’t horrible to most of you, but that’s pretty cold here in Florida.  How's the weather lately where you live? Anyways, hope you all are staying warm and that you all had a beautiful Sunday!

Moody Style: Fall into Banana

Today I’m teaming up with Banana Republic to share some of my favorite classic pieces from the fall collection.  Banana Republic has always been my go-to store when it comes to buying classic, versatile and contemporary work ready separates.  Now I may be a little biased since I worked for the company for a few years after college, but I’m never disappointed when I walk into the store or search for something online.  I always know that I’m going to find effortlessly chic business casual pieces that I can wear to the office during the week as well as hanging out with friend on the weekends.

This Seamless Ribbed Crew is the perfect sweater for the cooler autumn weather.  The knit of this sweather is a super-soft cashmere blend that isn’t too heavy, but it keeps you warm.  You can layer it over a classic white or a striped button-down shirt for the office or mix it up like I did here with this sleeveless print tie-neck blouse.  I paired this sweater with the Avery-Fit Ankle Pant in the camel color.  The Avery-Fit is a professional and chic pant for work yet still trendy with a cropped ankle hem.  These pants are a perfect fit for me and they aren’t too fitted or tight, which is no-no in my office.  These pants will look great with a blouse like this one or this one and a blazer to create a more polished look.

When it comes to shoes, black heels are definitely the most reliable option and they can be added to almost any outfit. The Madison 12-Hour Pump comes in 8 different colors, including black to complete just about every look. These pumps are comfortable, feminine and professional all at the same time. I bought these heels in the secret plum color because I already own several black heels and I wanted to add a pop of color to my outfit.  So what do you all think about my favorite fall pieces from Banana Republic? Have you checked out Banana Republic’s new arrivals yet?  When you have a chance, head over to the site and let me know what are some of your favorites this fall.

Moody Style: Grateful for Gingham

You can never have enough colors of J.Crew's excursion quilted down vests, especially when they go on sale.  I own this vest in 5 other colors and I obsessed with them despite me living in a warm state like Florida. The vest is super comfortable and the gold snap pockets are stylish as well as functional.  The excursion vest is perfect for layering and the down insulation keeps you warm without overheating.  This irish moss vest is currently on sale for $99.99 as well as the heather tiger lily color.  And you can save an additional 30% off today when you use the code: 25HOURS.

Moody Style: Leather & Lace

You may recall that I bought this BlankNYC Faux Leather Jacket over the summer during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  It’s by far one of my favorite pieces that I picked up.  If you don’t already own a leather jacket, then I would suggest adding this one to your wardrobe.  This jacket is so versatile because it can be worn all year long – in the fall/winter you can wear it with a pair of dark rinsed jeans or a cute fall floral dress and in the spring/summer you can wear it with white jeans or even some pretty pastels.  It also comes in two colors like this camel/brown that I'm wearing and black.  And the $98 price point isn’t bad either considering the faux leather looks like the real thing. As far as the fit is concerned, I think the jacket runs a little small.  I’m wearing a Medium over this lace tunic and I think it would fit fine over a thin sweater too.  Well, what do you think about adding this faux leather jacket to your fall wardrobe? Let me know what other ways you would style it in the comments. Happy Friday Friends!

Moody Style: Corn Maze Ready

During this time of year, I always reflect back on my childhood growing up in New Jersey.  Fall has always been my favorite season mostly because of the cooler, crisp weather, the changing of the leaves, apple picking, hay rides, drinking hot apple cider, eating apple cider donuts and going to an actual pumpkin patch. And although the weather is a lot warmer than I would like down here in Florida, it's still my favorite season.  I just have to find local southern fall activities that are just as fun as the ones I did when I was younger.  Yesterday, my friends and I went to a fall festival at the Amazing Grace Crop Maze.  If you’re looking for a family fun festival, then look no further. There you’ll find a pumpkin patch with pumpkins of all sizes, a corn maze, wagon rides, farm animals, a jump pad and so much more. Since I don’t have any plans to head up North anytime soon, this fall festival completely fit the bill. 

On a fashionable note – I wore this Red Gingham Bell Sleeve Ruffle Hem Blouse for a fall country look since the festival was on a farm. I got this top from SheIn.com a few weeks ago and it’s currently on sale for only $14.  I’m obsessed with the bell sleeves, the peplum hem and you know I love the red and white gingham pattern.  This top comes in one-size and it has no stretch.  Just as a size reference I normally wear a 4 or 6 in my tops and this top fits me perfectly. 

Thanks for stopping by friends and I hope that you all have a great week!

Moody Style: Fall Florals

Happy Hump Day Friends! Are you all loving the floral prints that have been popping up everywhere this fall?  I normally think of florals in the spring and even summer season, but I have to admit that I’m a little obsessed with the darker, moody blooms.  I love that these florals prints are flourishing in rich jewel-toned colors like burgundy, burnt orange, royal blue, purple, forest green and they are all set against a darker or sometimes black background.  I think these florals are just the right touch for the fall season.  And you don’t have to break the bank to keep up with this trend.  Check your closet to see if you have any floral pieces that can work double duty with your existing wardrobe. Keep your outfit limited to one floral piece and start simple by pairing it with a neutral.

If you don’t have any fall florals, then there are several ways to incorporate these blooms into your closet. A floral dress is a perfect way to pull off the fall floral look.  Pair a shorter dress like this one with some booties and a hat or pair a longer dress like this one with a denim jacket and some lace-up flats or heels and you’re all set. Another way to try the trend is wearing floral pants like this one and this one.  Since the pants are already a fashion statement, keep it simple by pairing it with a solid sweater or t-shirt for a complete look.  And finally, a floral jacket, like this one, can immediately add life to your look. Just add it to a t-shirt and pair of jeans or your favorite LBD and you’re ready for a night out.  What do you guys think about fall florals? Do you love it or do you only want to wear florals in the spring?
