fall for us


Every season we find pieces we fall for and just HAVE to add to 
our wardrobe. A few years ago, I fell for these faux leather leggings
from Aritzia which they still make by the way! They're super warm
and soft inside and give the average black legging the perfect edge.

One of  my favorite ways to wear them is with a chunky knit sweater.
Recently, I fell for this turtleneck sweater which I can not stop wearing. 
It's the perfect fall staple. Aritzia is always a go-to for classic wardrobe 
staples. Add in something a little more trendy like this wide brimmed 
felt fedora from Madewell and you have a great, easy to put together 
fall outfit! What did you fall for this season?

IONA: Casual Fridays


Day 2 means look 2 from one of my favorite stores in
Madison, Iona! This monochrome look is perfect for
almost any occasion. Pair it with pumps for casual 
Friday, or dinner at your fave restaurant. Or, throw on 
your best pair of beaten up sneakers for a day of errands.

One thing that's a must for me is comfort. If I'm not 
going to feel comfortable in it, I don't want to wear it.
(there are very few exceptions to this rule) No problem 
here. I'm wearing the softest, best fitting Bobby Top by 
Xirena. I loved it so much that it is now hanging in my 
closet. It comes in 3 colors, so don't worry, there's one 
for you too!

This ALC CL Jacket is to die for. Not only does it have
a hint of stretch that makes this light fabric lay perfectly
but it has leather detail... You understand now, right?

The mix of leather, pony hair and suede in this stunning 
Jéróme Dreyfuss cross body bag gives this monochrome 
outfit (or any outfit for that matter) great little kick! 
I love turning your outfit up with cool accessories and 
this bag hits the nail on the head.


As long as we were on the topic of comfort, let me talk 
about this pair of Mothers. The perfect rise, the right
amount of stretch, simple butt pockets, and the perfect
shade of grey. Jeans that I love aren't easy for me to find,
but I love The Looker Jean in Rebels and Lovers. Thanks 
to the lovelies at Iona, they are now a part of my wardrobe
and I think I've worn them every day since I brought them
home. Shhhh... don't tell.


Last but certainly not least, this super cozy Helmut Lang 
Lux Jersey Hat goes with practically everything and warms 
up this outfit perfectly. I'm a sucker for warm beanies... my 
collection is much too large. If you're in need of a(nother) 
winter beanie, look no further. I say it's justifiable when 
you live in Wisconsin.
