The cold weather is here! In order to stay cozy, I have been favoring blanket scarves to keep myself warm during these chilly days. My favorite burgundy blanket scarf is pictured above, and I have found it is my favorite scarf to reach for in the morning.

With Marsala being the color of 2015, and Rose Quartz/Serenity being the colors of 2016, burgundy is a fabulous color to wear right now; and into the new year. It blends perfectly with Rose Quartz, and serenity. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed I have paired this burgundy blanket scarf with my light blue Balenciaga handbag; a nod to Marsala mixed with Serenity-a favorite color combo of mine.

I got these Joie booties in the fall 2013 season. They are definitely one of my favorite pairs to reach for every fall season. Joie offers these booties in their classic collection, so the booties are always available for purchase. I am thinking of adding a pair in black suede. They are extremely comfortable, and the suede is unbelievably soft! Love!

These booties, combined with my burgundy blanket scarf, create a combination I just cannot get enough of this season! I love wearing the two together. Now that Serenity of one of the colors of 2016, I plan to wear this combo with my blue Balenciaga often. I love how pale blue and burgundy look together.

Another winning color combination for right now, and into early spring, is burgundy with pale pink. Rose Quartz, the other color of 2016, blends perfectly with any shade of burgundy. It would look amazing with a pale rose Balenciaga! Not that I have added one to my handbag wish list. . .OK, maybe I have!

A girl can never have too many shoes, handbags, or blanket scarves!

My twelve-year-old daughter took these pictures. Didn’t she do a good job with a DSLR camera? I cannot believe how fast she is growing up!

Thanks for stopping by, and stay warm!

Plaid is a huge trend this fall, so when it came time to choose my outfits for New York Fashion Week, plaid seemed like a no-brainer! When I spotted this plaid skirt by ALC, I knew it was not only perfect for fashion week, it would be ideal for my fall wardrobe.

Since the plaid has black, putty, and grey in it, I decided to pick up the black for my top. It felt “New York-ish” to me. Here at home in the suburbs, I would prefer to add a pop of red to the plaid in the skirt for a top. Now, to find the perfect red top for this skirt. . .

The sleeveless top is perfect for early fall weather. When the weather starts to cool down, the addition of a leather jacket is all this ensemble will need to transition to cooler weather. This top will also look cute with flare jeans and boots for casual fall days.

I wore this outfit on day four of New York Fashion Week in September. This was a busy yet fun day. I started the day off with Fashion Shenzhen, then attended RewardStyle’s Rooftop Party, then I had FTL Moda, Georgine, Vivienne Hu, and Art Hearts Fashion. Stay tuned for my coverage of these shows!

This outfit was easy to move in; making it ideal for a busy day of running around mid-town and lower Manhattan. The skirt was comfortable and cozy. I can imagine it in cooler weather with boots and a cozy, ivory sweater. Now, we just need some cooler weather here in the Bay Area!

Day three of New York Fashion Week was a busy day! I chose this flowing dress to combat the unsettled weather, and remain comfortable while running around the city attending shows and appointments.

I started the day at Kendra Scott’s showroom where I was able to view the fall 2015 collection, and preview the new winter 2016 collection. I cannot wait to share the winter collection with you in October!

After Kendra Scott’s showroom, Laura (from Have Need Want) and I popped into the Tresemme salon and tamed our humidity laden heads. They gave me a fabulous blow-out which tamed my hair for the rest of the day, and Laura came out with an amazing braid! Now if I could only replicate this process at home. . . hmmm.

Some of my favorite shows were on Saturday. I attended Jay Godfrey, Francesca Liberatore, Monique Lhuilier, and Son Jung Wan. Each show was so unique, and presented a fabulous collection for the spring 2016 season. Watch for my coverage of these shows!

This dress by BCBG was perfect for the day. It was lightweight and easy to move in. I was able to run around town fuss-free. It did not wrinkle, and allowed for a range of movements throughout the day. Squatting to photograph Laura’s outfit? No problem! Climbing in and out of a giant SUV Uber? No problem! Sitting on a cramped bench at a show? No problem! Love that 😉

I am excited to have this dress as part of my fall wardrobe. It is lightweight enough for our Bay Area fall weather; which can be warmer than summer temperatures. It will also look cute in late fall, when the temperatures dip into the 70’s and 60’s, with a leather jacket thrown over it.

Stay tuned for my coverage of the shows I attended at New York Fashion Week!
