.camo green & 5 fall staples.

neutral dress

there’s something about a little black dress with some oomph! I’m not really a glitzy type of girl – so a slice of camo is more my speed 😉 and I LOVE it. this dress I got last year when I first found out I was expecting – I knew I wanted something stretchy (so it would fit me at all points of my pregnancy) and it seriously was such a great decision. 🙂 looking back though, the wisest thing would have been to get a great neutral dress that was solid (no decorative details) that way you could style it countless ways 🙂 with the camo I’ll be honest, it can be limiting if you’re not used to mixing prints/colors.

denim jacket

I am VERY picky when it comes to how a denim jacket should fit. I don’t like them too short (you know that cropped look?), or too long (don’t want to look like I borrowed my husbands’) and the color had to be dark, but still looking like it had been worn and loved 😉 longest list… I know. well I was SO excited when over the summer I found my dream denim jacket! best part is 😉 it’s under $50! I got it in Canada too – my mom’s Canadian and we joke that everything that comes from Canada is better, the candy, the chinese food, the accent .. but really though 🙂 I’m not kidding. this jacket is going to be in my closet – FOR-EV-ER. (think the Sandlot 😉

cute sunglasses

I think sunglasses can change up an entire look, almost faster than any other accessory 🙂 sunglasses are just supposed to be fun and I always feel so cool when I wear my Ray Ban’s .. my other styles are more neutral but I REALLY love the mirrored lenses and of course the color! 

unique booties

I would definitely get a unique, funky, textured, patterned – a something special kind of bootie this season 🙂 mine have a braided detail, the peep toe, open back, suede, they’re even GREEN! it’s ALL about cute, fun shoes right now 🙂 and I’m a shoe fanatic – and I’m going crazy over all of the pretty options. I would seriously wear the same t shirt and pants everyday if that meant I got a new pair of shoes to wear with them. I’m so shoe obsessed it’s not even funny … errr .. maybe it is 😉 

if you’re not into the ‘wilder’ styles maybe go for a bold color (like my olive green ones) or do a texture (like calf hair or suede) 🙂 mixing it up gives more dimension to your look 🙂

crossbody bag 

the main reason I love a smaller bag is the fact that it helps narrow down how much ‘stuff’ I’m carrying around 😉 cause really though, do I need everything from my bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, car … in my purse???? no. do I still stash like 5 lipsticks in the pockets? yes. 

there are cute options for smaller bags right now, a whole array of price points too. designers have really been on board with smaller cross body styles this whole year – so the stores are well stocked 🙂
