So many reasons I love this outfit. The colors and the coziness make for a wonderful pairing. Discovering just how much I love the camel color. It’s a fun way to wear a neutral color.

During this time of year, I love to reflect. When I take time out to think about the year, I can’t help but be thankful. Yes each year comes with its ups and downs, but even just to see another day is a blessing. During this season especially, I like to give back as a way to say thank you. Instead of just focusing on myself, I try to lift up others in small ways.

Ways to share the holiday love:

  1. Pay for someone’s coffee behind in you in line at Starbucks. (or a meal at a drive-thru)
  2. Invite someone without family in town over for a holiday meal.
  3. Volunteer at your local food bank or homeless shelter.

I encourage everyone to step outside of their bubble and think about how to help spread some holiday cheer this season.

Let me know how you are showing love this holiday season. I’d love some new ideas!

xoxo,

Fall Style. | Cape Craze.

With fall in full effect, it’s time to start thinking about outerwear. This season’s top silhouette is the cape.

Not only for outerwear, now capes have transitioned into all types of clothing. It brings another twist to your fall wardrobe. You can rock it in so many versions that come in all types: blazers, sweater/ponchos (a favorite as of late), coat or even in a dress version. I like how versatile and chic capes can be. It’s an easy way to elevate your style game.

My favorite way to wear a cape is with skinny jeans or flares with a killer heel. But I love the styling seen in no. 1 above too. A cute cape with a suede mini & some great boots is a perfect nod to a throwback look. A way to change up the simple sweater look is to throw on a knit cape and belt it at your waist. Add some texture by wearing a printed or studded belt with it!

Capes are a great way for you to make a fashion statement. It’s one of those items that you need in your closet to instantly make an outfit stand out.

Here are some additional great options for you to get in on the cape game. Click on the images to shop your favorites!

Solange Gets Married…&& Slays.

Congratulations are in order for Solange Knowles & Alan Ferguson who tied the knot this weekend in New Orleans.

From the pictures, it looks like the event was a very dapper affair. All guests were instructed to wear white, which made for a stunning visual.

Always one to eschew tradition, Solange and her video-director husband arrived to the ceremony on painted white bikes decorated with flowers. That ride would have been tough in a wedding dress but the singer had no problem by rocking an off-white Stephane Rolland jumpsuit with plunging neckline.

The couple looked just as stunning during the ceremony with the groom in a shades of white Lanvin tux and the bride in a custom design by her close friend Humberto Leon for Kenzo. Solange’s cape is just everything!

A perfect red lip and gold cuffs completed the ‘fit. (Curious to know what red lippie Solange was wearing!)

Vogue got the exclusive photos on the wedding and shared these words from Solange: “Everyone I worked with on the wedding are friends who I love,” said the bride via email earlier today. “Everything was a labor of love.”

Photographer Rog Walker captured the highlights of the day. From his portraits, it’s easy to see there was a lot of love to go around. The guests looked so chic in white and of course big sister Beyoncé and mom Tina Knowles were in attendance for the nuptials as well.

And that is how you slay at your wedding!
