Friday {fancy} Favorites + weekend sales

Friday favorites this week are fancy inspired with gold, sparkles and bows to start the holiday season. I know I share every "chic" sweater that arrives at Forever 21, but just in case you haven't picked one up, this one is adorable! I'll be starting my holiday gift guide next week, but wouldn't these make fabulous presents for your fancy loving friend, especially the gold keychain to top off that special gift. Let me know if you have any gift guide requests - comment below or on my Facebook page!

10 Fall Favorites under $30

Fall temps are finally here in Los Angeles and I couldn't be happier to enjoy some much needed "sweater weather" with a warm pumpkin latte. Shades of rich browns and tans are my favorite way to welcome fall and these are some of my favorites right now.

What's your favorite way to welcome fall?

1 H&M Biker Jacket $30 (reg $49.95) // 2 Nordstrom Brush Set $28.95 //

3 F21 Faux Croc Tote $27.80 // 4 F21 Tassel Bracelet $4.80 // 5 H&M Imitation Leather Riding Boots $30 (reg $59.95) // 6  Merona Bird Sweater $19.99 //

7 Estee Lauder ''Delectable' Nail Coffret' Limited Edition $27.50 // 8 Merona Studded Leather Glove $21.99 //9 F21 'Oui' Necklace $2.80 // BP Hat $20

 

 

1 Jacket I love that we can already find "fall markdowns" on quality jackets..just in time for the cold!

2 Brush Set I am in the market for new brushes and love the richness of these and of course the cute snakeskin case.

3 Faux Croc Tote I never need a new tote or bag..but I love the different textures on this bag.

4 Tassel Bracelet This bracelet is elevated thanks to the tassel and the cool beetle, very Tory Burch.

5 Riding Boots The rich brown and chain link detail are a steal at this price.

6 Bird Sweater This very J.Crew reminiscent sweater is so tweet.

7 Nail Polish Set I love all the colors in this set - so rich and warm.

8 Studded Gloves If I am going to wear gloves, why not wear a studded pair?

9 Necklace For French lovers, this larger "oui" necklace is a must.

10 Fedora An affordable and easy way to add some style to your look.

 The biker jacket is also available in grey.

Celeb Style Notebook: Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba looks effortless chic at the Piperlime celebration to welcome her as their new guest editor. If you purchased this entire look if would cost you around $100, while Jessica's clutch alone is $200! While I love the idea of mixing different prints and patterns together, I never actually do it. This look has two things most of us have in our wardrobe, leopard and plaid. So, the next time you are feeling just a little bit daring, mix it up and try something new!

Would you mix and match and rock this look?

1 H&M Shirt $24.95 // 2 H&M Skinny Dark Jeans $7.96 (*reg $9.95) // 3 F21 Knotted Cuff $4.80 //

4 OPI 'Incognito in Sausalito' $9 // 5  F21 Leopard Clutch $16.80 - available in stores (just sold out online!) // 6 Rimmel London in 'Bordeaux" $4.95 available at Target, Ulta, and most drugstores //

7 Mossimo Dark Teal Pumps $29.99 

 

*20% off denim at H&M

 

 

Jessica's actual items:

Clare Vivier Clutch $195

 

 Plaid Shirt $69

Modern Ballerina for under $25.90 ;-)

This past weekend, I went shopping at two malls to check out all the latest trends. I noticed very feminine and ballerina-inspired pieces at several stores, also heavily influenced by French style. While most fall items dictate a darker color palette, pastels are actually a new trend for fall and look especially current paired with camel brown, greys or navy. Extra points for topping this look off with a topknot!

One of the leading trends this season is a one-piece sweater with a blousy fabric peeking out that mimics a sweater over a shirt, sounds complicated, but trust me, it's cute! I had my eye on this Masion Jules sweater, but now that Target has made an affordable version, I'll be picking up theirs instead, since it is such a seasonal and trendy piece. Don't forget to put a bow on it la Kate Spade with this adorable belt. I am loving everything from Zara this season and they carry so many affordable and well made pieces, I feel compelled to stop there every weekend, even if I am just browsing..for now anyway.

Will you be shopping this style?

1 Mossimo Beret $12.99 //  2 Butter London in 'Cuppa' $10 // 3 Xhilaration Sweater $24.99 // 

  4 Zara Top $19.90 // 5 H&M Basic Top $12.95 // 6 Zara Skirt $25.90 //

 7 BP Statement Necklace $18 // 8 H&M Suede Bag $24.95 // 9 Mossimo Bow Belt $14.99 //

10 F21 Bow Barrette $3.80 // Zara Ballerina Flat $25.90

10 Under $10 Cheap Chic

I challenged myself to find some chic-worthy items for less than ten dollars and here is what I found!

What's your favorite cheap chic item?

 

1 F21 Beanie $6.80 // 2 ON Scarf $9 (reg $12) // 3 Tarte Vitamin Infused Lipgloss $6 (reg $21) //
4 F21 Sneakers $9.80 // 5 F21 Owl Bank $8.80 // 6 Target Dress $9.98 (reg $24.99) // 7 Asos Clutch $7.59 (reg $16.86) // 8 *Nordstrom Cardigan $9.18 (reg $16.90) // 9 F21 Cuff Set $9.90 // 10 H&M Sleeveless Blouse $9.80

*Size up for a slightly looser fit or if you shrink things ;-)


1 Beanie French inspired everything is on trend for fall and this is too cool not to own.

2 Scarf  Polka-Dots and Stripes together? Enough said.

3 Lipgloss Grab this while you can - it's just a hint of color (I would use this to layer over lipstick) and chemical-free.

4 Sneakers When you want to add some glam to your everyday errands.

5 Owl Bank An owl with gold accents is too chic to pass up!

6 Dress This studded dress can easily be worn through the fall season with some darker hues or gold.

7 Clutch White is the new black..or at least still very much "in" for fall, love the details.

8 Cardigan N. Rack sells this cardigan year round and this is a great basic to own. I have many colors and they last forever if you take care of them.

9 Cuff This beautiful bracelet sets reminds me of Tiffany jewelry.
