Fall is upon us!!!

Living in lower Alabama, Fall weather isn't exactly upon us yet. It's still in the high 80's, but I am SO ready for sweater weather  I can't stand it. Today I have a special treat for you. A very good friend of mine has amazing style and can dress anyone for any occasion. She has worked for Saks Fifth Avenue and is truly my guide when it comes to picking out my clothes. When I am getting ready for special occasions, I ALWAYS send her a shot of what I plan to wear and she gives me a yeah or nay. 

She has so graciously provided me with some amazing fall tips that I am so excited to share with you!!!

Fall Fashion Tips from Courtney

Day to Night Look

By just changing your shoe choice from boot to pump and removing an outer sweater, you can transform an outfit from day to night!! Don't be afraid of a pop of color in your bag. Just because you are wearing black pants and black shoes doesn't mean your bag has to be black!

Fall Look Number Two

I am loving the dark nail polish and grey hues!



Here are your DO's to think about this fall season!!

Embrace all those classic prints we love but don't always know what to do with. Like the classic plaid!


If you don't own a good hat for fall you must invest! J Crew teamed up with Bailey for awesome hats under $100.00...they also have killer ball caps.

Bright hue lips such as orange are really big right now, so try it out! Pop of color always cheers you up!

Leopard (my favorite) don't put it up, keep it out!


The Met Gala set the pace for this fall with its punk theme...rock studs, chains, and spikes will be on all clothing. Embrace it.

Leather is still important!! But this time opt for a jewel hue leather jacket instead of traditional black. Emerald green is always gorgeous!

Winter white...stop listening to your grandmother...it's gorgeous and should be worn.

 Jeweled, feathered, appliquéd, oversized, and chunky should run through your head when your shopping!


Fall Boots for Every Occasion

Over the knee is huge...Phillip lim showcased a killer pair.

Knee length...that little graze of the knee is just the right fit. This is a great staple piece to own because they tend to be a good day to night shoe....the it pair: Givenchy Gaiter Leather Wedge Boots.

Mid length calf boots are very chic! Pair them with a fun girly skirt to really show you love for fashion. Valentino makes some gorg rock stud ones!

And the best for last... Can you guess??

The ankle boot...the ever wildly popular clodhoppers are still in and cuter than ever. Rag and bone has really defined the look with their Kinsey boot...but I must say I love the Loeffler Randall suede ankle boots!




Well, now you are ready to take the Fall season head on!! A special thanks to Courtney for her WONDERFUL advice!! You can follow her on Instagram to see more!!! 

Thanks Y'all!
