This year, it feels like one season merges to the next with very little change. The usual markers for transitioning to fall have significantly diminished with a lack of back-to-school energy or September issues providing inspiration for seasonal updates. I’m not anticipating much change this month, but I’m a planner. Identifying new pieces that will give my wardrobe a kick of freshness going forward gives me something to look forward to.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sneakers and sandals for now and boots and loafers for later are my first priority. I know I’ll continue to wear jeans, casual dresses, and relaxed bottoms for the foreseeable future, so a new pair of shoes will provide an instant update.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Bags and jewelry quickly add a modern note. Heavy gold link necklaces and bracelets feel of the moment while avoiding the tag of trendy. Ditto for a new luxe bags whose style will remain iconic for years to come.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m selecting comfortable pieces to lounge around in that serve double duty if I want to dress them up. Neutral cashmere sweaters to pair with cropped leather pants or patterned trousers as easily as they do with soft joggers are the focus for any new purchase. Upscale joggers that look appropriate with a blazer and flats get high marks too.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Meanwhile, as we endure the heat of September, I’ve been living in lightweight cotton dresses and flat sandals, I’m saving the summer color palette for next year and working with fall tones for easy transitional style. This @SEA dress is cool, comfortable and on rotation.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

With little change on the horizon for the next few

With little change on the horizon for the next few months, dressing for fall will be simple. It’s still all about comfort, but I’m planning on elevating outfits with pieces that add a little punch. Sneakers will take a backseat to the loafers collecting dust in my closet. Even if my outings consist of a run to the market, I want to get a little more dressed. I’m tired of merely glancing at items in my closet I love and could be wearing. A fresh rotation of shoes and bags will add a jolt of energy to my everyday outfits.

For me, cardigans are a hit or miss. I’ve never been fond of the classic, round collar with banded hem variety, but give me a v-neck, preferably cropped, and we’re talking. My favorite way to wear them is with a thin tank or nothing underneath. An interesting belt buckle peeking out from beneath as styled in the Victoria Beckham PreFall 20 collection above, adds bonus points.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This Vogue Paris story hit home. It’s exactly how I like to dress with simple clothing and fantastic accessories. I haven’t layered on bracelets like this in years but maybe it’s time to revisit. And those oversized earrings with a nod to the 80’s? Obsessed. A classic horsebit detailed belt is the perfect finishing touch. I usually invest in shoes and bags but jewelry and belts currently have all my attention.

Missing the joy of travel and discovering new plac

Missing the joy of travel and discovering new places. Last year at this time I was planning a September trip to Vienna. It ended up being fabulous. I still have the story highlights above. One of my favorite days was exploring the #schonbrunnpalace gardens followed by a very long walk back to the hotel through one of the city’s charming neighborhoods. An amazing outdoor lunch at @hollerkoch topped off the perfect day.

TB 2018 to the lovely Wanas Hotel in Sweden. 🌿

TB 2018 to the lovely Wanas Hotel in Sweden. 🌿 One of our favorite stops on a late summer road trip from Malmo to Stockholm a few years back. We avoided the fastest route so we could meander through the countryside and stop for a few nights at hidden gems, like the 15th-century Wanås estate and organic farm. 🌿 On this warm evening, we sat at sundown for an amazingly memorable wine paired tasting dinner that was simply beyond. Appreciating moments like this more than ever and hope for their return.

One thing I’m betting on for fall is the continu

One thing I’m betting on for fall is the continuation of elevated comfort without sacrificing style. More important than ever, I want to wear relaxed pieces that simply feel good to put on. Soft clothing as appropriate and pretty for lounging as they are for a market run is the goal. A little effort in selecting pieces within a restricted color palette of neutrals easily adds a sophisticated note to even the most casual outfit.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The same theory goes for my beauty routine. It’s all about products and tools that are effective and pleasing to use. Think beautifully scented soaps, shampoos, and lotions for starters. With a bit more time on my hands, rushing out the door is a rarity so taking a moment to pamper is no longer a luxury. It's a good time to experiment with new products and test a few beauty devices too.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ultimately, the plan is to maximize the enjoyment of my time at home. I’ll surround myself with things that bring me comfort and make me happy. Fragrant candles, soft blankets, fresh white towels and crisp sheets all contribute to creating the pleasant environment I’m after.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Cocooning in style is tops for me this month. I’m keeping my wardrobe updated and freshening up my home with a number of items from #NordstromAnniversarySale. Shop my picks through the link in my bio and in my guest post on @palomacontrerasdesign La Dolce Vita blog. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The extent of my summer vacationing this year may

The extent of my summer vacationing this year may be limited to local beaches, but that doesn’t mean I’m not dreaming about sunning somewhere on the Italian coast, say Hotel Il Pellicano. Regardless of where I land, the essentials are the same – a chic swimsuit, sun protection with a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses, and a stylish tote to carry my gear. Blame it on the Solid and Striped x Il Pellicano collaboration featured in their summer lookbook for sending me down this wanderlust path.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
