Hello friends!

I have heard all the hype about Spanx leggings and I needed to try a pair for myself! I brought the faux leather leggings to wear on a trip to Connecticut to visit my brother and sister. Are they worth the $98 price tag? In my opinion, the answer is yes!

They definitely compressed my tummy and legs, but I did not feel uncomfortable (I ate a big lunch and ice cream too!) I like the way they are high waisted and don’t roll down at all. They are perfect to take on a trip since they barely take up any space in a suitcase.

Also, the faux leather finish looks nice and can be dressed up with a sweater and booties or dressed down with a sweatshirt and sneakers. Overall, I recommend the Spanx leggings because they are comfortable, versatile, and will hold you in – in all the right places! 

Before I ordered the leggings, I read the reviews online and decided to size up from my usual size. I’m glad I did! I paired the leggings with a J. Crew sweater jacket and booties by Dolce Vita.

It is sometimes difficult to transition into fall style when the weather is still warm. One easy way to update your look is to change your color palette. I love to wear olive green paired with a darker lipstick. One of my go-to colors for fall is Rebel by MAC, which is a beautiful berry color.  I have worn both the midi t-shirt dress and the jumpsuit by J. Crew in previous posts. Since they were two of my favorite outfits this summer, I bought them in different colors when they went on sale.

The camo dress is sold out, but here is a similar dress and jean jacket by Old Navy. This sandal style by Eileen Fisher has been around for the last several years. They are super comfortable and come in many different colors.

You can still get the jumpsuit on sale at J. Crew now! The trainers are not available, but here is a cute alternative option currently at Nordstrom.

This utility dress by Orvis is probably ten years old. I found a couple of similar looks from Banana Republic here and here. I paired the dress with booties from Dolce Vita which I bought at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I know that I will get a lot of wear out of these booties this fall!

Navy and white stripes are a perfect combination to wear for Labor Day weekend! I paired this Michael Kors maxi dress (many years old!) with a red purse and red lips for an easy, stylish look. Here is a similar style on sale now at J. Crew now. I hope you enjoy your holiday!

Hello friends!

It was a super-hot summer evening, so I wore a gauzy, cotton midi dress out to dinner. I love the feminine ruffles on the sleeves and hem of this Rebecca Taylor dress. I purchased it a few seasons ago, so I linked these pretty ruffle dresses here and here from Anthropology.

I wore chunky raffia heels by Tory Burch which I also bought a couple of years ago. Nordstrom has some similar styles by Jeffrey Campbell, Steve Madden, and Seychelles. I finished my look with gold and pearl earrings from Barbara Boz Boutique in Birmingham.

I am always excited to go out the day my hair is cut and colored by my amazing stylist Lindsey (Instagram: @Lindsey_opal_aster). Nothing is better than a professional blow-out! Gwyneth Paltrow once said, “Once your hair is done, you are 90% the way there.” I 100% agree!
