Last week I met my fabulous friend Laura from Have-Need-Want for happy hour at Cin Cin in Los Gatos. I was coming off a stressful few days after my car was rear-ended, and it started to have mechanical problems after the body work was completed. Nothing makes problems seem small like a fun conversation, and the most amazing truffle fries on Earth! Yes, I said truffle fries. Can we say a-ma-zing!!!

I was excited to have an excuse to wear my new blouse from Lush which I purchased for fall, and a pair of flare jeans. The blouse is almost as long as a dress! The length makes the blouse really fun and versatile. So far, I have worn it with flare jeans, as in the photos above, but I also found a great way to wear it in colder weather.

When late fall, and early winter approaches, this blouse by Lush looks amazing with a wool scarf, worn over leggings or skinny jeans, with flare jeans (of course), and paired with cozy boots. Throw a coat on top and it is a casual-yet-put-together look. Love that! I might be addicted to this shirt 😉

I have to rave about these photos too. Laura did a great job! Make sure you check out her website at have-need-want.com.

ModCloth has opened a new pop-up Fit Shop for a limited time in San Francisco at 222 Grant Avenue. This exciting concept allows shoppers to work one-on-one with a personal fit stylist who not only helps you find the perfect ensembles, she sets you up in a fitting room, assists you with sizes, and she can even measure you to find out your perfect fit! Love that!

Since ModCloth is an online retailer, the Fit Shop is a great way to try on their clothing before you buy something online. If you have never tried ModCoth before, this is a great way to acquaint yourself with their clothing, and see what your size would be in their apparel. This will enable you in the future to be able to shop on ModCloth.com easily! Now THAT is fabulous 😉

I have never shopped from ModCloth before, so when I was invited to check out the store, I was excited to see what they had to offer. As expected, the clothing has a vintage, feminine feel. I loved the vibe of the store, and the wide selection. My Fit Stylist Ashley, was amazing to work with. She was extremely helpful, and knowledgeable. I had my kids with me, and she was very patient with them too; which is fabulous!

Ashley set me up with a room filled with my selections. She also brought me a few extra items to help me create complete outfits. She read my taste like a book! She brought me a fabulous navy top, which I instantly fell in love with!

The concept of the store is to enable shoppers to work with a Fit Stylist who can assist you in finding looks from their online store. While the jewelry, vintage tee’s, and select vintage apparel is available for immediate purchase, everything in the store you try on is a sample. If you like what you try on, your Fit Stylist will order the items for you, and they will be delivered right to your doorstep. This is a nice touch when you are in downtown San Francisco. After all, no-one wants to carry shopping bags around downtown; especially if you have to take BART, Cal Train or Muni home! Can we say clumsy?!!

After visiting ModCloth’s Fit Shop, I now know my size; and I will be able to easily order from the website in the future. If you like ModCloth, or have never ordered from them before, a visit to the Fit Shop is a must!

The ModCloth Fit Shop will be located at 222 Grant Ave., San Francisco, CA, until August 17, 2015. To make an appointment, please call 1-844-FITSHOP or book online here.

My favorites from the ModCloth Fit Shop for fall:

Late summer into early fall weekend look

Nothing says fall like leopard print pumps, and military green! I love spicing up fall casual looks, and weekend wear, with leopard print! It is always a fun, autumn look.

I wore this outfit out to dinner with my kids last weekend. It was perfect for the weather, yet still offered a fall-like vibe. My eleven year old daughter took these pictures. I think she did a pretty good job! Love it!

I look forward to wearing this outfit often in August and September as we transition from summer into fall. What is your favorite color combination for transitioning from summer into fall?
