Happy Labor Day weekend, friends! The last hurrah of summer is upon us and while I’m sad to see summer go, I’m anxiously anticipating all that Fall has to offer. I just recently picked up some pumpkin spice k-cups and look forward to sipping the autumn brew each morning. While slowly starting to incorporate some fall items into my life, I’ve also started adding some fall pieces into my wardrobe, including this beautiful plaid tweed shift dress. Talk about a true classic with a tailored touch! I adore wearing plaid and tweed pieces in the fall, especially when they’re so beautifully paired together into one standout frock. The dress fits true to size. I’m wearing a size 2.

I hope everyone enjoys their long weekend! Cheers to the unofficial end of summer! It truly was a memorable one with so many highlights that I hold near and dear to my heart. Also, a big congrats to my future sister-in-laws brother getting married this weekend!

Plaid always has me thinking of fall, but it also translates very well for the holiday season too. A favorite combo of mine, and one that you'll see again soon, is plaid and leopard. They're two prints that work effortlessly well together and look glam while doing it. This dress is perfection for the winter weather with long sleeves and a maxi style skirt. Very twirl worthy! The belt cinches in the waist to create an hourglass look. Without the belt, the dress is quite baggy. I got this leopard coat during the Black Friday sales. Oh my goodness, swoon worthy! It has a stunning red lining and keeps me so warm and toasty. I also like the longer length for skirts or dresses that are equally as long. To compliment the look, I choose red pumps and a green clutch to keep with the festive feeling. If there is a time when green and red work together, it's for the holidays. Otherwise, it can look too much like the holidays.

You many have noticed that I always wear my Jackie Kennedy rings, the unity bands, but I actually have quite a few pieces of the jewelry from her line. It's a line that is reproductions of the actual pieces she wore. I have on a pair of her earrings in this post too. With the movie Jackie out right now, an absolute must see for me, I thought I would make a little comment about the pieces I usually wear. If its an emerald piece, that usually means it was a gift from JFK. His birth stone (May 29th) was emerald and he typically would gift Jackie emeralds to remind her of him. Many of the pieces I have were ones that JFK had given her. That always felt more special to me and of course, I love JFK. The gold unity band I wear was actually given to Jackie by Bobby Kennedy as a thank you gift. The emerald unity band, given by JFK, was for their 10th wedding anniversary. The emerald earrings, which can detach and be worn as studs too, were given to Jackie by JFK for helping him with his presidential campaign. They were part of of three piece set originally.

Last week we had Indian Summer and it was amazing. Truly, after having a blast of cold weather and then being able to feel some warmth again is magical. Seeing it was going to be a beautiful day, I quickly pulled out my plaid dress and booties for a classic fall look. Plaid is an absolute must have for any closet, especially when its incredibly soft and ever so lovely in a dress. The braided belt also comes included with the dress. Since we're always out and on the go, I like to bring layering pieces with me for when warm autumn afternoons turn into cool autumn nights. This cable knit poncho feels like cuddling up in a warm blanket. Can we talk about how fab the fringe tassels are too?! It's a one size fits all that also comes in black.

My dad, Ava, and I all took a quick trip to the Finger Lakes this past weekend. The scenery is absolutely beautiful and relaxing. It actually reminds me of Scotland. The Finger Lakes will always have a special place in my heart. I can't wait to get to those posts!

Christmas Outfit

Happy Wednesday, friends! So it is the eve of Christmas Eve and I am so happy to FINALLY be done gift shopping haha! I was out yesterday helping my brother finish up his gifts and him finally picking out a gift for himself. Let me tell you though, it was complete madness at the stores. The Christmas rush is on!

With all things Christmas on my mind, I chose this plaid dress with beading along the collar and pockets (I forgot to photograph them!) that instantly has me dreaming of cozy family gatherings, baking cookies, exchanging gifts, and signing carols. Plaid is such a classic print and one that feels so festive. What really got me though was the beautiful beading along the white collar. Pretty little details like that simply make me swoon.

I hope everyone is enjoying this festive week!
