First off, thank you all SO MUCH for allowing me to take a couple of weeks away from the blogging world. It was so good for my soul. I got to spend lots of quality time with my family – watching movies, playing card games, taking the girls to get our nails done. Hubby and I reconnected by going out on a real date night and getting a massage together. I also tackled some long overdue home projects, like cleaning out the fridge and organizing our pantry. It’s not Pinterest worthy, but it’s a heckuva lot better! I even found time to take an online business course, read a book and set some 2014 goals for myself and GYPO. It was definitely a much needed, productive and very refreshing break.
Thanks for coming back this week for the I Feel Pretty link up. In case you missed yesterday’s post, I’m now one of the co-hosts of the new Beauty Buzz link up every Tuesday along with Lulu of Simply Lulu Style, Nicole of MomTrends, and Janise of Mama in Heels. Each week, we’ll be taking turns hosting the link up and sharing beauty news you can use. You’re invited to link up your beauty posts and join in the fun. Check out yesterday’s link up HERE.
I also took advantage during my break to spend as much time in leggings as possible. Real pants not required! Here’s one of my warm and comfy looks featuring my favorite faux leather leggings.

My plum double breasted wool coat has been one of my closet staples for the past few winters. The color works amazingly well with just about everything. The one I have is no longer available but here’s a similar one on sale now for 33% off.

These faux leather leggings are also available for a steal. They add a fun edge to your leggings outfits. Pair them up with long chunky knit sweaters for a more subdued look.

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been featuring pieces from my Wallis weekend getaway wardrobe. This wardrobe was part of the Miraval and Wallis mom’s weekend getaway prize. Although my magical weekend at Miraval resort is over, I’ll be styling my Wallis wardrobe staples throughout the fall.
Today’s outfit features three of my favorite pieces from the collection – this sheer floral blouse, a lightweight striped open front cardigan and my favorite – the black and stone Juno bag.

About a month ago, I fell in love with this outfit found on Pinterest after searching for ways to pair up my oxfords. I couldn’t wait for the weather to cool down to recreate it. It’s the perfect combo of preppy casual with menswear details – a navy blazer, boyfriend jeans and oxfords.

Want to give your fall fashion an instant boost? Just add a statement making scarf in one of the season’s hottest trends.
These aren’t your mama’s scarves. Fall’s outfit makers feature mixed patterns, color blocking, tribal patterns, camo and more. It’s never been easier to look on trend.
FIVE SCARF TRENDS FOR FALL
1. Mixed Patterns
This trend is quite possibly my favorite of the bunch. Pattern mixing in outfits was big for spring and summer. Mixing prints on a single item is the next big thing for fall and winter. A scarf is an easy and fool proof way to wear the trend.
This scarf is 40% off today, along with everything else at Loft. Now’s the perfect time to stock up for fall.!

[Pattern Blocking Infinity Scarf]
[Mixed Print Gauze Scarf]
2. Leopard
If you don’t have a leopard print scarf yet, never fear. I’ve found the perfect one for you!
[Leopard Infinity Scarf]
3. Camo
If you like the camo trend but have been afraid to try it out, a scarf is a good way to ease into it.
[Neon Print Camo Scarf]
[Pink Print Camo Scarf]
4. Tribal Print
Tribal print looks awesome paired up with denim. Toss this on with a chambray layered under a sweater for an instant update.
[Southwestern Fringe]
5. Colorful Cozy Knits
A colorful, cozy knit scarf is the perfect finishing touch for a fall hayride.
