The big chill has finally made its way to Dallas! This is my favorite time of the year for so many reasons – the weather, the fashion, the food… Did I mention the fashion?!
Are you ready to find out what I am loving right now for fall and winter?
Ladies first…
Turquoise Scarf with Pom Trim $39: Elizabeth Koh | Ivanka Trump Camelaly Pump $140: Belk | ONSEN EDP $240: MiN New York SCENT STORIES | Aspen $485: JulieBeth Handbags
Once again, the girls over at Elizabeth Koh dazzle with their new fall and winter collections. I am very fond of their Buddha Infinity Scarf Collection. The color combinations are great and the pom-poms are super cute! Megan Elizabeth Varela and Janelle Elizabeth Sisting have stayed true to their mission and are continuing to give back to the communities that produce their scarves – 10% of Elizabeth Koh proceeds go to help develop and sustain the local programs of the SOS Children’s Villages in Thailand.
Animal prints are great neutrals. Ivanka Trump Camelaly Pump has the right balance between vintage (t-strap) and current trend (toe cap and animal print). This is the perfect shoe to pair with some of the seasons hottest fashion trends.
Rich, hearty scents make me so happy during the chilly seasons. MiN New York SCENT STORIES won my heart this year with ONSEN, number 10 from the 11 scent collection. This Japanese-inspired eau de parfume features a collection of notes including absinth, bergamot, vetiver roots, oak moss and steam.
JulieBeth Handbags in Houston has created a beautiful bag that can be carried two ways – folded over as an oversize clutch or as a shoulder bag. Available in two sizes, this is a must-have bag, anytime of the year.
