Hello Ladies! Fall is in the air (at least in the early morning) and I have a busy week ahead. I have a few days left in Augusta and then will be heading to ATL…I am so excited!I will be attending a Fall Fashion Preview with Jezebel (Atlanta) magazine this coming Thursday night and moving into our midtown apartment on Friday. It will be a crazy week, for sure, but I am looking forward to this next season! 

Have you stopped into your local Old Navy lately? They have the cutest fall looks coming in (all the latest trends) for an affordable price. I love these stretchy black distressed jeans…you can roll them up or keep them down, depending on your shoe height. Again, fall in the south is all about layering..finding lightweight cardis to pair over a tee or long-sleeve shirt or dress.

I am getting cold just looking at these photos –this shoot was taken the first really cold morning here in Augusta! I was glad to have this BB Dakota Coat on hand from our local Fab’rik store! I am pretty much just crushing on Burgundy…it is such a deep & rich color that flatters all skin types and is so beautiful in the winter. I absolutely adore these Dolce Vita suede boots — I also have them in Taupe; they are so comfortable and you can actually walk a good distance in them because of the thick heel. Yay! for shoes you can actually comfortably walk in. Ladies, if you live in Augusta, you can find these at Shoes at Surrey. I am getting excited for this weekend -it is my husband’s birthday and we are having a big Oyster-Roast party to celebrate! We love getting together with our neighborhood buddies for a low-key good-time!

Is it a cape or a dress….how about both!!?! I stumbled upon this creation at Tootsies, ATL…how neat is this!? You don’t even have to put on a coat because it is already a part of the dress itself…brilliant! I found this lovely infinity scarf at Intermix…it is sooooo soft and warm!

Burgundy and Sequin-Embellished Crop Top, Milly, Shop One Augusta (Please Contact them for Purchasing, they are happy to ship item) or similar style Milly Red Shell, // Faux-Leather Skirt, Rebecca Taylor, also from Shop One Augusta (Call for Details), or Here at Nordstrom Rack by Catherine Malandrino, Here, Tahari at Dillard’s under $70// Handbag, Rebecca Minkoff from Shoes at Surrey, or Similar Styles, Here at Bloomingdales, or Here at Saks (Metallic Cross body Bag)//Pumps, Sam Edelman, Here

Woop, woop! It’s the weekend, Bloom Girls and I am excited about a fun event I have to go to tonight in Augusta called the President’s Gala for Augusta University. I can’t wait to get dressed up in formal wear dress from Tootsie’s Atlanta, GA and then do a blog post on the dress I wear tonight! So fun and the weather is perfect here. Other exciting news –at least for me? My patio furniture arrives tomorrow and I am going to go look for a fire-pit = major comfy-cozy time outside tomorrow night! I may even go crazy an do smores!!!

A little news about what I am wearing in this post –the crop top is from Milly’s “Holiday” Collection and as such, it is very festive with embellished sequins. Feel free to call the store and ask for your size –I spoke with them and they are happy to send directly to you in your size! If it is chilly outside, just throw on a black wrap over it or a black faux-fur crop jacket, such as this one from Calvin Klein. This top also comes in straight-up “red” if you prefer that color to burgundy.

This exact faux-leather skirt from Rebecca Taylor is no longer available (SO SAD); again, feel free to call Shop One, Augusta (number provided in the link above) or shop some of the alternative options I have listed. This skirt also comes in Teal, Here and in Oxblood (Burgundy) Here in Sizes “0” or “6”. I do love it in black but these alternative colors are a huge hit this season and are really gorgeous, too.

A metallic cross-body bag is something you absolutely need because metallics go with almost everything and anything. I still have a Salvatore Ferragamo beige mettalic handbag that I use frequently because it can go with black or neutrals! You will get a lot of use from it over the years and I love this one from Rebecca Minkoff because it is petite and practical!

Have a Fabulous Weekend and Enjoy!

Anne
