Today is the first post of many that will provide outfit inspiration for the fall season. 

I. AM. SO. EXCITED.

Welcome to your stylebook. Much like a playbook, the stylebook is full of ideas and inspiration so you can put together some killer outfits this season. You can find all your stylebooks here on the blog whenever you're in a rut and need help styling a look, or if you need to find an item for your shopping list.

Tips for Fall Transitioning

You already know I love fall. But truth be told: I hate the transition.

Here in Illinois, the weather is STILL in the 90s. We had a brief teaser of fall weather before resuming our typical humid September. So how exactly can I switch my wardrobe to the next season when it's still way too hot?

I'll be honest with you- it's hard. This is something I struggle with every. single. year. Picking out outfits in September/early October feels like a chore for me. I get to the point where I'm completely OVER my summer pieces, but still have to make them work somehow.

Happy Monday! Today's cup of coffee needs to be STRONG.

I had another topic in the works for this week's Monday Motivator, but after a very busy weekend, I decided to write about something different that I was feeling more inspired by. Today's topic: Recharging.

No, I'm not talking about recharging your phone, although that's a good way to look at it. We plug in our phones to recharge them at least once a day, if not more, because we're looking at those little percentage numbers and answering the needs of our technology. But just like we are answering the needs for these inanimate objects, we need to answer the needs of our bodies, too.

Bath & Beauty Report | St. Ives Face Scrubs

Alright y'all, it's time for another B&B report, and this round I'm talking all about St. Ives face scrubs!

You've probably seen me post A LOT about these scrubs on my Instagram story and that's because I'm literally OBSESSED. I picked these up on a Target run just to give them a shot and I had no intentions of falling in love, but here we are.

The Monday Motivator | Not Letting Pasts Distract Presents

Happy Monday, friends. Thanks for joining me again at the start of another week! Do you have your coffee in hand?

I'm writing this post on a gorgeous Sunday evening from the comfort of my patio. Fall's breath is so strong in the air today and I am feeling so comfortable and happy. I have a busy week ahead but want to bottle up this energy and carry it with me so I don't get stressed out.

Speaking of stress, you know what stresses me out? Letting my pasts distract me from my presents.

My Favorite Backless Mules for Fall

We made it, fashionistas! It's September! Time to deck the halls with plaid and indulge on allllll the pumpkin spice. Summer is always so much fun, but let's be honest with ourselves: there's nothing quite like that crisp arrival of fall.

I can't wait to start sharing more fall fashion on the blog! I'm kicking it off with my favorite fall kicks: backless mules. Although I'll literally wear these at any time of year because I love them so much, backless mules really come out to play during the fall months because they look so chic with jackets and cropped denim. They're easy to slip on, super comfortable and can class up any outfit.
