The Mint Boutique

Outfit Details: Shop The Mint Blanket Scarf + Adele Poncho (c/o), Madewell Skinny Jeans, Marci Quilted Booties by Adrianna Papell, LC Lauren Conrad Stud Earrings, Gucci Handbag

Nothing quite compares to big cozy blanket scarves and they are arguably one of the best accessories for the fall season. They are super stylish and the bigger the scarf - the more fun ways to style it. Take this cream plaid scarf from The Mint for example, it can be styled as a cape, draped over the shoulders and belted for a more sophisticated look, or even simply tossed around your neck for a more classic ensemble. This is actually the very first blanket scarf I've ever owned and I've come to realize that no matter how it's styled, it always looks so chic. The biggest benefit? You can snuggle up at your desk with it and no one will do a double take if they saw you wearing it as a scarf earlier in the day. Now you know my secrets ;).

Another item that I continually wear throughout the season? Sweater ponchos. You can't go wrong with this piece and they are so easy to style. How festive and fun is this adele poncho from The Mint? The color is so rich and the material is so comfortable. It's outfits like this that make me wish I could wear the same thing every single day!

If you're interested in loading up your closet with more fun fall pieces head on over to The Mint to browse their latest collection. Both items featured above are under $50. Don't forget to give them a follow on Instagram because I'll be hosting a fun giveaway this week that you won't want to miss out on. Check my insta page soon for the details!

Olive You

Outfit Details: H&M Jacket (similar here, here and here), JCrew Pixie Pants,  Trolley Ankle Booties, Leather Tote (similar), Urban Outfitters Short Brim Hat (also love this one)

I always feel somewhat limited when the cooler months roll in. The days of wearing strappy dresses and bright pops of cheery colors are long gone. My wardrobe now consists of a heavy rotation of neutrals, which I don't mind, but I do get a little bored of the same ol' combo. To mix things up, I've been incorporating shades of green into my outfits: emerald, olive, army, moss, and so on. These colors can be treated as a neutral or a statement piece depending on how you style them.

In this outfit, I wore a light olive green jacket paired with black and beige neutrals. I wanted the main focus to be on the jacket so I kept the rest of the outfit simple. I could have mixed in some prints or gold accessories to blend in the olive, but I felt this outfit was stylish enough all on it's own.

I hope this look inspires you to incorporate more green tones into your outfits this fall. See more styles in the widget below and click directly to shop!

Bell Sleeve Dress

Outfit Details: Topshop Bell Sleeve Lace Dress, Pearl Cuff Bracelets, Emma Sunglasses, Steve Madden Booties (similar)  

From bell bottoms to voluminous sleeves, it's clear the 70s are back in full swing for the fall season. When I first laid eyes on this bell sleeve dress from Topshop, I was instantly drawn to the scalloped neckline and intricate lace detail. I am a complete sucker for lace (if you couldn't tell). Originally, I purchased this dress for a fashion week event back in September, but it ended up pouring rain so I couldn't wear it. Although it was chilly this past weekend, I decided to wear this dress for a little date night with my fiancé. Things have been so incredibly hectic lately I've barely had the chance to have more than a 5 second conversation with him. It was so nice to cozy up, drink some fruity cocktails, and relax together. It was exactly the kind of weekend I needed.

Now, back to the dress ;). If you aren't completely captured by the stunning open back and ruffled bell sleeves then I'm not certain what your heart is after. The details of this dress are so completely unexpected and daring.  I can't wait to style it up later this season with over the knee boots and a cozy vest.

Hope you have a speedy week!
