I was never the hat, glove, scarf kind of girl growing up. I didn't like them and felt they were too bothersome. Now that I'm older and realize the importance of being warm while commuting to and from work, I cannot get enough of these items.

When I realized that they were extra accessories that I could make fancy and chic, I was even more inclined to own and make use of them.

Clearly, my favorite cold weather accessories come from my girl Kate Spade but J.Crew Factory & Aerie have some adorable items too.



I've been loving a headband from J.Crew --it's not as warm as a hat but I feel like a true fashionista whenever I have it on. I feel like it can dress up any outfit and make it look like you're trying just a bit more. It's not available anymore but you can find a similar one here.

My mom bought this 'Hello Gorgeous' Kate Spade hat for my birthday and I've been loving it. The pom pom detail is very trendy and I love the hot pink color since I don't wear that much color as it is.

Below are a few other of my favorite picks for the cold weather -- I especially love a good tech glove (I got a pair of Kate Spade ones during their surprise sale) and I've had this pair of UGG ear muffs for close to 10 years and they're still holding up beautifully.   

So I think the title of this blog post is a little misleading. I'm talking about my favorites for fall fashion but it's mostly sweaters.

Sweaters are my favorite item of clothing, especially during the fall. I think they are the most versatile piece of clothing you can keep in your closet. You can dress them up with heels, dress pants, and a chunky statement necklace or you can dress it down with leggings and UGG slippers.

Please, give me all the sweaters!

Sweaters are a staple for me at work -- I have a uniform during the winter and that is black or navy blue jeans/jeggings, a sweater, statement necklace, riding boots or ankle boots.

Because of the previous statements, most of my wish list consists of sweaters. Sorry if that's not your thing but there are so many pretty clothes to share!

There are a few jackets, vests, and jeans included in this slideshow but honestly, I think I'm set for jeans. I bought a few pairs at American Eagle over the past few weeks and I'm obsessed. You can find those items here, here, & here.

I think a few, really good pairs of pants should be the first priority, then you can just switch out tops to have a complete wardrobe. Grab a good pair of neutral riding boots, ankle booties, flats, a good classic neutral handbag and you are good to go!

My number one places to shop for any sort of wardrobe are American Eagle Outfitters & J.Crew Factory -- similar enough to be cohesive in one closet but different enough that not everything is the same.

I never post about sales going on, especially during a holiday weekend. My bloglovin feed is always clogged with these types of posts, and they're always the same sales.

Well, today I feel like being a basic blogger betch and posting all about the sales that I think are worthy of hitting up -- and some that I will surely be taking advantage of.

I, for one, am so happy to see Labor Day arrive because that means summer is over! While it still may be warm out (it's going to hit 90 degrees in NYC this week), fall is truly here. Pumpkin spice, dark nail colors, and riding boots will soon be making their arrival and I need it like I need fall air to breathe.

I'm in desperate need of a new summer wardrobe. I was switching all my summer clothes out from my winter clothes last week and realized I have shirts from like 4 years ago. That is an issue.

I need new clothes for work, to lounge around in, and just in general. I especially need shoes! I am the worst at buying shoes (and clothes for that matter). I spend my money on accessories and make-up but I am going to do my best throughout the month of June to stop the frivlous spending and only buy things I need.

LIKE CLOTHES!

I just bought two pairs of American Eagle jeans on clearance and they're okay. They look great on me but they are slightly uncomfortable. My mom's response to that was "You can't always be comfortable" and my answer is YES I CAN. But I'm not returning them because I really need them and they do look really good.

I've been looking everywhere for more clothes but I am honestly so picky. I want to dress trendy but then I stray away from those types of clothes when I'm actually shopping.

My work wardrobe can be a little more on the casual side so that is a gift but still, I'm at a loss for where to shop. I usually stick to American Eagle Outfitters or Nordstrom but I want to venture outside my comfort zone.

Leave any suggestions in the comments!!

But... I've been obsessed with kimonos lately--I got two from Nordstrom Rack and they're super comfortable and easy to wear or match with pretty much everything.

I also really want to try a jumpsuit because they look really comfortable and super easy to wear. This one from American Eagle is calling my name.

I put together a little wish list of things I want/need/lust after and we'll see how much I actually buy in the near future!

Spring is not my favorite season but after the winter we've had here in New York, I am fully ready to embrace bright colors and light linens.

This past Sunday, Easter Sunday to be exact, I proudly donned a white on white jean ensemble with a bright blue necklace and loved every second of it. I am just so ready to put my riding boots and winter coats in storage... and the weather is slowly getting us there.

I have a nice amount of spring clothes but since I prefer fall and winter, my choices for cold weather outfits are far more hefty. I know I need to brush up on my spring style so I thought I'd round up a few pieces and styles that I have my eye on.

J.Crew Drapey Sleeveless Top J.Crew Ponte Shell  J.Crew Linen Lace Tee AEO Boho Printed Muscle Tee AEO Printed Corset Dress AEO Printed Romper

There is a severe lack of bottoms in this post mostly because I wear jeans or leggings until the weather becomes too hot. Then, it's strictly rompers, dresses, and skirts. I am not a fashion girl so I stick to the basics but I really need to expand my horizons.

Any suggestions on what I should rock this spring/summer? What are your favorite pieces? Tell me below!
