Blazers, jeans, dark nails, sparkling nails, small handbags, and hobos are hotter than hot right now as we move from the fall season into the holiday season. I am loving what is trending right now!

These classic Chelsea boots are a closet staple. If you did not buy them last year, or the year before, what are you waiting for? They are reasonably priced plus water resistant. The lug sole helps keep you from slipping in snow or ice. Love that! Plus, they are comfy. I really love my pair!

Apparently skinny jeans are over; for now. This season is all about wide leg jeans, classic cuts, and flare jeans. I love this wide leg pair since they are available in multiple lengths. It is pure heaven to be able to find short length jeans and not need to shorten them. Love! Plus, they are under $100. Another reason to love them!

Flare jeans are back! This is a trend I have always loved but have always struggled to wear. When I have purchased flare jeans in the past, I have had no choice but to bring them into a seamstress to be shortened. If you are short like me, or petite, then you know the struggle! Flare jeans are not easy to shorten. You lose a lot of the actual flare when the hems are cut, resulting in a less dramatic flare and loss of the intended silhouette. So, when I found these flare jeans in short length, I was thrilled!

The length on these flare jeans is perfect, resulting in the exact silhouette I was going for. This 1970s vibe is everything! I paired my flare jeans with a tie front blouse, which was a huge trend in office attire for women in the late 1970s, and again in the 1980s. Since then, the trend has come in and out of fashion, in varying incantations. I love wearing a tie front blouse with flare jeans, or a midi-skirt for the full, original look. Isn’t the print on this tie front blouse fun! Love!

I wore this outfit the other day for lunch at The Yard House and strolling through Santana Row. The blouse did not wrinkle, and the jeans felt really comfortable. Plus, I was able to walk without pain! I think my foot is getting close to be fully healed. Love that!

If you happen to be tall, and struggle with finding flare jeans which are long enough, you’re in luck! These jeans are also available in tall lengths! I love that they are priced under $100 too, it makes them a guilt-free purchase. Love!

Are you loving the cooler weather too? It’s perfect for tweed blazers, jeans with boots, and lightweight sweaters. Pink is trending right now as well as denim styles reminiscent of the 1970s. The hobo is still going strong and western style boots are the footwear du jour this fall season. I am loving this dressy take on personal style and fashion this autumn season!

As we enjoy wearing, and shopping, for fall, holiday beauty is starting to hit store shelves. If you want to add a little sparkle to your fall looks, the golden nail polishes we are seeing for fall, as well as darker reds, are a great way to add a little holiday sparkle to a dark fall day. Sparkling top coats are also hot this holiday season in nail polish. This is a great way to add sparkle to the neutral nail colors you may have picked up for fall. Love!
