In-Vested

I.  Can’t.  Stop.  Wearing.  Vests.  And I sure hope you don’t mind!  Because if I’m not careful, between vests and plaid, I just might become some sort of broken record of a fashion blogger this season!  And while I am pretty much loving any vest that comes my way,  I want to know, what are you guys drawn to this season, solids or prints?

Long Sleeved Dresses

I don’t know what it is, but I am obsessed with long sleeve dresses this Fall.  Now don’t get me wrong, I love wearing all of my sleeveless dresses with cute jackets and cardis, but when the weather is still fairly mild, I love the idea of changing things up a bit and leaving the jacket at home.  And while I was obviously drawn to this dress because of the sleeves, I also love it’s unique leopard print.  It feels refreshing to me to add a piece to my closet that isn’t a basic leopard, but rather a fun play on my favorite type of print!

Fall Florals

I don’t know what it is, but I am feeling so drawn to florals this Fall.  Mixing them into my wardrobe has felt so fresh and different to me this season-something that I love!  Plus, I can’t complain about getting to wear some of my favorite pieces for just a little bit longer this year!

In-vest-ed

There was a period in time that I wore this denim vest so much that I had to make a conscious effort not to wear it so often. And I did such a good job of avoiding it that it ended up buried in the back of my closet and forgotten about for a period of time. And so today, I couldn’t be happier to welcome it back to the rotation!  To me, there is just something about a vest (whether it be denim, down, leather, fur, etc.), that just adds that extra pop to any outfit.   It’s just tough to beat those pieces in your wardrobe that make you look like you put in a little extra effort when you really actually didn’t…

I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend.  I was lucky enough that one of my very best friends came to the SLC to visit me.  And let me tell you, we had the most amazing time.  From shopping, to manicures, to eyelash extensions,  to fun dinners out on the town, and even a little Sundance Film Festival action, it will be a weekend that I will always fondly remember.  Sometimes there just isn’t anything better than girl time.

And if you don’t already, be sure to follow along Instagram to catch all of my fashion (and real life) adventures!

J and A After Dark

This fall, J and I decided that we wanted some updated pictures of the two of us.  And so, we enlisted the help of our super talented friend Sam Kanzler of Kanzler Foto.  She and her hubby had taken some photos of J and me a few years ago, and not only were they amazing, but the four of us became fast friends.  Besides being incredibly talented, Mike and Sam are two of the most generous, kindest, and funniest people that I know.  They are just those kind of friends you feel especially blessed to have found in life.  And with that, here is a little preview of a few of my favorites from our photo shoot “Justin and Abby After Dark”…

I hope you are all having a wonderful week and staying warm!  We finally had our first big snow storm here in the SLC-we got about a foot at our house!  I guess it’s safe to say it really is beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Boots

I have a slight obsession with cognac boots-or more specifically these cognac boots.  I wear them more than any other piece of footwear that I own and I am feeling pretty bummed that they are all but about worn out.  And because I knew this would most likely be their last season, I have been on the hunt for a replacement pair all fall.  And surprisingly I have had absolutely zero luck.  Maybe I’ve set my standards too high, but how hard could it possibly be to find a pair in the right shade of cognac with a low heel (wedge or stacked), wide enough to fit my calves, that go with everything, and are neither too dressy, nor too casual?  Apparently it’s nearly impossible.  Looks like a trip to the cobbler is in my very near future-I need all the help I can get prolonging the life of these babies…

Mad For Plaid

I am obsessed with plaid.  It’s all I want to wear, all day everyday.  From button downs, to skirts, to pants, to jackets, plaid is at the forefront of my very favorite fall fashion trends.  And one way to wear it that I am especially loving?  Back to leather and lace.  Duh!

On Repeat

If you were to run into me on a typical Saturday in the Fall, I would most likely be wearing something similar to today’s outfit.  In my book, it’s tough to beat a staple chambray shirt (plaid is also often on repeat), my favorite skinnies, a vest for layering, and a pair of boots comfy enough for running errands or cheering my hubby on at a Cyclocross race.  This is definitely my go-to fall look, and if I am being honest, it has been for the last couple of years.  Not super exciting, I know.  But sometimes practicality wins out over fashion…

I Heart SF

I spent the better half of last week attending meetings in San Francisco. It is my favorite city in the country, so it was a welcome get away. Plus, I have to admit that it was pretty fantastic to escape the snow and cold for a few days and enjoy a little milder weather…
