The infamous Cardigan. One can never have too many. The popularity of this classic Autumn layering piece skyrocketed even more this year with the debut of Taylor Swift’s song “Cardigan”. So yeah, this basic Fall piece already has a song named after it and you need at least a few good ones in your closet this season. It’s the perfect layering piece to throw off and on during cool mornings and sunny afternoons or to just cozy up around the house in on a chilly Autumn day. So today I am sharing 7 different styles of Cardigans that every woman should have in her closet for the Fall and Winter season…
The Secret to Styling a Scarf
Styling a scarf should be simple and fun, not overwhelming and confusing! I love cute, cozy scarfs this time in the season as a layering piece adding extra warmth and style to an outfit. What I don’t love is struggling to get the scarf on easily and it messing up my hair in the process. Anyone else? That’s why today I want to share with you the secret to styling a scarf with this adorable under $20 scarf I recently scooped up from…
Sweater Weather Season
Now that it’s officially Sweater weather season in North Carolina, I am doing all the things! You know? All the things you have to do when the crisp Autumn air rolls in and the scent of cinnamon and sight of pumpkins surround you everywhere you go. All my Fall lovers know its so much more than sipping that pumpkin spice latte. It’s the festivities, the fashion, the decorating and everything that goes along with that first sip that gets us so excited. So when the leaves start to change and the cool air rushes in, there are certain “must do’s” each season and I’m sharing one of those here with you today. My NC locals and visitors will…
Falling Into Autumn
If there’s one thing the year 2020 has taught us, it’s that change is inevitable and nothing is promised. So I’m embracing the change, and in this moment it’s the change of season as today marks the first official day of Fall. Autumn is upon us y’all and there’s nothing like crisp Autumn air and a new season to fall into a fresh start (pun intended). Maybe it’s a fresh wardrobe or maybe it’s a fresh attitude. Whatever it is for you, to me it just feels good…
Melt in Your Mouth Peanut Butter Pumpkin Bread
This Peanut Butter Pumpkin Bread recipe really is melt in your mouth good. It’s ooey-gooey delicious and always a friends and family favorite! I learned this recipe from my mom (as I have with most things I am able to make), and it has been great for holiday gifts for your hair stylist, lash lady, and would be a great house warming gift to new neighbors in the Fall season. Most of all though, with Thanksgiving around the corner…
A Pretty Picnic in Bennington
I feel like lately I’ve been all about the little things in life. This time of year time seems to slip away so quickly, I find I am forcing myself to slow down some to enjoy all of the little things and celebrate them. Little things like finding the most comfortable leggings perfect for all the holiday travels (more on that here), or enjoying time with friends, and family over simple picnics. Another trend I’m noticing around here lately…
My Favorite Seasonal Travel Outfit
Crisp Autumn air. Leaves floating all around. And temperatures continuously dropping. Can you believe we already went into the low 30s in NC this week?! Yes it’s that time of year. Holiday’s are swiftly approaching and with it comes lots of travel. I don’t know about you but when I travel I want to be comfortable, warm (I hate being cold on a plane), but also stylish for when I arrive to my destination. As let’s face it, it’s that time of year that when we get where were going, who has time to…
$36 Plaid Poncho of your Dreams
That’s right! I recently found the perfect plaid poncho and for only $36 so it is sure to sell out again soon! It would be so cute styled for the holidays too! I recently wore it while visiting Vermont on our Fall Foliage trip! It worked out great for just that little extra layer of warmth, when temperatures are just in between needing a coat or…
Favorite New Account - Kate Style Guide
Happy Wednesday friends! We’ve finally made it half way through the week! Today I wanted to share with you, one of my favorite new accounts to follow on Instagram for some Royal style inspiration- Kate Style Guide! My friend Lauren of Going For Grace created this account as she realized she loves Kate Middleton’s sense of style but no one really shows affordable options in different budgets to replicate what she wears. Since she was searching for herself anyways, she figured…
An Autumn Picnic with the Girls
Fall Foliage Heaven in Vermont
Calling all my basic chicks and leaf lovers (I’m only half joking). I’ve officially found Fall Foliage heaven and it’s in Vermont!! Every year my husband and I take a “Leaf peeping” trip to experience the mountain life, cool Autumn air, and the gorgeous colors of the tree’s as the leaves transition, peak and fall to the ground. It’s a see of beautiful color if you can time it just right (easier said than done). My advice…
Styling the Perfect Friendsgiving and What to Wear
I feel so blessed to be able to call these 3 ladies my friends! To think, if it weren’t for Social Media, we wouldn’t have met, is eye opening to the positive side of the internet. It’s amazing to step back and look at the year we’ve had here and all of the sweet friends I’ve been able to make a long the way of this crazy blogging journey. I’m so thankful! We started planning this day back in July after hosting our Southern Summer Garden Party, and am so delighted we were all able to make the trip to Tennessee to bring to life this Friendsgiving Dinner and styling tips for you to create your own perfect Friendsgiving. Ok so where do we begin…
Fall Things To Do in North Carolina
The Best Designer Dupe Over The Knee Boots
There’s no secret here. Fall demands a statement over the knee boot. The problem I find is it’s hard to find a comfortable pair at a price that doesn’t completely break the bank. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve splurged on the designer version, but I’ve also found and saved on the most comparable version in style and comfort. So you’re kind of talking to an over the knee boot…
Official Feminine Sweater Weather Attire
You guys! I can’t even begin to explain to y’all how excited I am for Fall! Can you just say it with me here now a few times so I don’t say it a million more times in this post…Fall, Fall, Fall, Fall, Fall! It’s officially Fall, Yay!! Ok, so you’ll have to excuse my slight over excitement here but for good reason. Don’t forget that you’re talking to a born and raised Florida girl, and it’s my first time officially experiencing a true Fall season now that we live in North Carolina. And now, there’s no better time to…

Transitioning to Fall Fashion
Eeeek! Peace out Summer, Hello Fall! I am beyond excited to experience the season change here in NC! We escaped to Chicago for the Labor Day Weekend and got another taste of some pre-Fall temps with crisp 60s and 70s. So it had me itching to share some style tips on pre-Fall fashion and what I’m wearing and loving…
