Wear and Share Wednesday: Touch of Fall

Wear and Share Wednesday: A Touch of Fall

Fact: It’s still officially summer. The first day of fall isn’t until Monday, and it’s still going to be 90 degrees this weekend so even if I want to embrace fall early, it’s really only a touch of fall. I think I’m so tired of the same sundresses I’ve been wearing all summer so I’m ready for a wardrobe refresh, even if its just a touch. I have done some great back to school shopping and picked up a bunch of fall 2019 trends, but I can’t quite wear them all yet, so I need to add in a touch of fall where I can.

A touch of fall with camel accessories!

I achieved a touch of fall with camel accessories! This fall color is not only classic but neutral and really anchors my LWD. I’ve known I wanted a camel tote as my fall bag since the spring but I haven’t been able to find one until last week! I scored this clearance find at TJ Maxx and it was EXACTLY what I was looking for.

New fall bag of my dreams!

Lucky for me my camel and tortoise double ring belt from Express came in right at the same time and nothing is better than matching your belt to your bag. This white dress is from my Express Style Trial box and belting it gave it just the touch of fall I was craving. Plus this LWD is really well made, lined and the perfect quality for transitioning from summer to fall.

LWD gets the fall treatment!

You know what also arrived at the same time as my belt and new bag purchase… my Avon order! Which included this beautiful camel faux leather strap watch and this leaf bracelet that look amazing stacked together. I had this bag/watch combo going in my dreams since I saw this watch in person at our conference 6 weeks ago! These two are launching soon but as a rep I get them a few weeks early.

Obsessories!

I’ve been obsessed with these white slides from Shoedazzle. They actually have a camel sole so they work perfectly for this late summer look. As we head more into fall and it drops down to the 70s 😉 I can switch out these slides for these snakeskin booties and I have an even deeper fall look. You can already see how I’m working in these booties and that animal print trend for late summer in my last post (see here).

Obsession + Accessories = Obsessories

Wear and Share Wednesday has a lot of new fall pieces I’m loving! Pieces that are functional for the weather, and fashionable for the fall. What are you wearing these last few days of summer!?

The Work To Weekend Must Have Bag – mark. Dragon Around Tote

Happy First Day Of Fall!

Happy first day of fall! Which it is unusually cold today with only a high of 75!!! #californiaproblems However, for me, that means I can wear pants, ankle pants, but still pants. So today I have for you a little pants outfit with the perfect fall tote, well really the any time of year tote! The mark. Dragon Around Tote is the must have work to weekend bag!

The Work To Weekend Must Have Bag – mark. Dragon Around Tote

Fall outfit with mark. Dragon Around Tote

The mark. Dragon Around Tote is a camel, large tote bag with two slip pockets and a zippered pocket. It’s your standard tote but with a classic luxe look. Really could be mistaken for a much higher end version but at an affordable price. I’ve been wanting a really good one from a major lux brand but after getting this mark. one I feel much better that I didn’t spend way beyond my means.

Work to weekend, this bag has you covered. It’s so simple it will go with everything and large enough to hold everything. I use it to tote all my crap; files, lunch, change of shoes, things I need to mail, snacks, Harry Potter, a sweatshirt, more snacks, magazines for lunch time reading, stuff from work I’ve been meaning to bring home, stuff from home I’ve been meaning to bring to work… you get the idea. Pretty much your life needs a bag like this.

Hello Fall!

Work Outfit with Express and White House Black Market

For my work outfit I paired a pair of sailor blue ankle pants from White House Black Market with an off the shoulder top from Express. The blue and white pairing works exceptionally well with the camel tote bag. I wore blue and white jewelry from Avon and grey heels from Shoedazzle. For added details I could NOT resist this adorable bag charm (see my bag charm post here). It’s just perfect for fall and winter and adds a smile to my face every time I glance at it.

Trending Tuesday – Fall IT Color #camel

If the world of alicia was the internet then #camel would totally be trending. This fall I’ve had a color crush on camel. I’m not much of a brown person but camel is like it’s creamy cousin that looks excellent against that end of summer tan and your classic blacks and blues. That’s why camel is totally trending in my world… if you couldn’t tell by my #1 camel pick, my camel colored bag that I’m OBSESSED with… and a few other camel inspirations…

A camel bag – My must have as of late, mark. Neutral Territory Bag. Big and structured so super effective!

A camel hat – I’ve found my camel floppy hat to be a fall staple!

Camel hat and a camel pup!

A camel sweater – as sweater weather creeps in, there’s just something a bit regal about a camel sweater, it can be trendy or classic. I was super inspired by Kelly Ripa today on Kelly and Michael in her thin gauge camel sweater and leather skirt!

Kelly & Michael Inspo (with a mega glam Cindy!)

A comforting camel – Fall is the start of all things cozy. In the fall I always restock my triple wick candles and upgrade to fall scents in my bath and body and hand soaps. I love a scent with a comforting caramel undertone. Not quite a camel color but more a fall inspiration for my camel crush!

Trending Tuesday: September Inspo

September Inspo

If the world of Alicia was the internet inspo for September would totally be trending! September for me is always a love/hate relationship. I LOVE August, summer, hot temps and long days. September is the start to the end of all of that… but also the start of more things I love, Penn State football, all football, apple hill (for my nor cal’ers) and all the fun events in September. Luckily it’s still summer hot here and we technically have a few weeks left of summer so here’s what’s inspiring me for September!

Color Pallet

September Inspo Colors

This month I’m really feeling all shades of blues, especially navy, camels and nudes, red and burgundy with a bit of neutral blush tones and light greys. Think very collegiate shades.

navy, burgundy, camel

Camel Sleeveless Trench Vest

Off The Shoulder and White Jeans

Mad For Plaid

Berry Plaid

Just as inspiring as a color pallet I always have a print I gravitate toward. September it’s always plaid and menswear fabric inspired prints.

September Beauty

Lauren Conrad’s Makeup for September

I saw this pic of Lauren for her September LC Lauren Conrad Collection ad and I immediately was smitten. This is what September beauty is about, flawless skin, a light and bright eye with a classic wing liner, full lashes and a bright but deep berry lip. I already use her staple eyeliner, mark. On The Edge Liquid Liner and I think I can find a similar lip shade!

Apple Everything

Apple Crisp

If pumpkin everything is the motto for October then apple everything is the inspo for September! I’ll be sure to make my favorite apple crisp, take a visit to Apple Hill and light a few of my favorite apple scented candles this month. I totally like apple flavors way more than pumpkin!

Avon Fresh Apple

What is inspiring you this September? Any traditions you like to bust out come September?
