Outfit: Metallic Tweed Jacket

A tweed jacket is always a fun and classic piece to incorporate into your Fall fashion.  The classic Chanel tweed jacket helped legitimize Chanel and put it on the map as the fashion powerhouse that it is today. Withstanding the test of time, the tweed jacket remains a go-to piece for women of all ages.

Style File: Fall Fashion Favorites

I love Fall fashion - I love browsing through blogs, catalogues and lookbooks to see all of the great Fall pieces in action.  We have so few chilly days in Miami, that any drop in temperature brings a slew of scarves, and knee high boots to the city.  We may look a little ridiculous, but it's still fun to play dress up with some of the items that remain stored away, pretty much year round.

I think coated denim is a cool Fall trend, and while these jeans may be a bit on the delicate side (don't wash them at home, unless you're going to handwash them, inside out and with Woolite), they're an awesome alternative to regular dark denim.  They come in great jewel tones for the season.  Some of my favorites are below, click on the individual styles for a link back on where to buy.
By the way - Saks Off 5th is having a BUY ONE GET ONE FREE EVENT FOR DENIM.  If you know your size in Jeans - I would start stocking up.  Click here.

Style File: Fall Fashion Favorites

It never fails: Fall Fashion lookbooks pop up in my inbox, the J.Crew catalog makes it's way over, and bloggers that I follow in cities like New York and San Francisco start to showcase their layering talents - all because other parts of the US actually have seasons, and experience a cool dip in temps.

In Miami, we have been experiencing what's now been, torrential downpours, for the better part of four solid months.  This year has been especially rainy, causing us to style looks with rain boots (coming soon) and umbrellas.
Thought it would be fun to talk Fall fashion picks, under the cut.

This is the Bobeau Asymmetricalconvertible cardigan from Nordstrom.  It's one of my favorite pieces because it's super versatile, soft and comes in over 10 colors.  It can be worn like this, as a cape, or open.  I have one in black and gray. I love styling them with black skinny jeans and combat boots. 

Hosting Gig: Gap Friends & Family Fall Collection + Dadeland Mall + Gap Promo Codes

I want to thank everyone who came out to support me and the blog at The Gap a few weekends ago.  I was honored to have The Gap ask me to host one of their in-store shopping events at Dadeland Mall.  I love the new, edgier and more fashion forward Fall collection.  There are a ton of textured pieces, with streamlined silhouettes. You should also check out their outerwear and cropped jackets: I can't wait for temperatures to dip into the low 70's in Miami so that I can sport some of their new Fall styles, ha, ha!

As part of the fun, I styled three mannequins using pieces from the store.  You can see the looks below.

And a big thank you to Gatsby, for making an adorable appearance and making everyone fall in love with him.

OOTD: Catherine Malandrino for Kohl's + Paris Sweater

The Catherine Malandrino for Kohl's collection debuted last month and I was able to get my hands on this adorable Paris sweater to style!
This collaboration is part of the Design Nation project that Kohl's does with designers.  It's a French themed collection with slogan sweaters, black faux leather jackets and super feminine dresses.  The sweater I'm wearing also comes in a teal / blue color.

OOTD: How to Style Plaid

There's a running joke between my friends and I lately, because I keep wearing Fall fashions, trying to will Winter to come. 

And then I just sweat my ass off. 

I wore this to brunch this weekend, and promptly changed the minute I got home again.

When will the cool weather come?
