Skirt: Akira Chicago; Top: Nordstrom; Jacket: Nanette Lepore; Bag: YSL; Shoes: Louboutin.

I channeled my inner Carrie Bradshaw this weekend when I attended The Joffrey Ballet’s performance of The Nutcracker. I paired a gold top from Nordstrom with my favorite look for this holiday season — a huge tulle skirt. While it definitely spilled over into the seat next to me, this skirt screams holidays and looked great paired with a wool Nanette Lepore blazer.

Top: Rails; Coat: Joie; Leggings: Akira Chicago; Boots: Dolce Vita; Scarf: Nordstrom BP; Mittens: H&M; Bag: YSL.

It’s cold in Chicago. And it’s only mid-November … On a Starbucks run on this Sunday I layered it on with my new Rails button down and Dolce Vita boots along with a cozy scarf, mittens and a little YSL.

Throwback Thursday-ing it to about two weeks ago when I wore my favorite dress for a sushi date with my man. DVF Zarita dresses are so classic and so chic and a staple every girl should have in their wardrobe.

Dress: Free People; Shoes: Louboutin.

If you live in Chicago, you know the past few days have been BEAUTIFUL! Like 70 degrees and sunny. I totally wouldn’t mind all of fall/winter being like this. I went to the ballet Sunday afternoon, and, since it was so nice out, wore this floral dress from Free People. Both the muted color and the long sleeves made it perfect for fall. And how about those buttons on the back and sleeves?!

 Sweater: Free People; T-shirt: H&M; Leggings: TopShop; Boots: Hunter.

Ok, yeah, I like fall — as you can probably tell from my last few posts. This past weekend, the guy and I went up to the lakehouse in Michigan for a little fall R&R. We hiked in the woods, along the beach and I enjoyed all of it in this super cozy new sweater from Free People and my ALL TIME FAVORITE scarf from Akira. It’s so cozy I can’t even begin to tell you.

Top: Ace Delivery from Nordstrom; Jeans: Hudson; Shoes: Adam Tucker.

One of my must-haves for fall is a great plaid top. I got this one by Ace Delivery at Nordstrom. I paired it with with some leather Adam Tucker flats and my favorite pair of Hudson jeans and was ready for a Sunday walk along the Chicago river with my guy.

Sweater: Nasty Gal; Shorts: H&M; Shoes: Louboutin.

The varsity stripe sweater is everywhere this fall. I recently got this cute sweater from Nasty Gal, and I absolutely love it. It’s great with a pair of ripped jeans for a comfy chic look, or with these leather shorts for a slightly more edgy, evening look.

Dress: Akira Chicago; Necklace: H&M; Shoes: Louboutin.

I enjoyed a very nice date night with my guy this weekend. We went over to Balsan at the Waldorf Astoria for a cheese plate, some champagne and good conversation. I wore a new dress I recently got at Akira and paired it with my classic black Pigalle Louboutins. Nothing like accidentally matching the decor!

Sweatshirt: Wildfox; Shorts: H&M; Shoes: Steve Madden; Bracelet: H&M.

Graphic t’s are everywhere right now. I’m not a huge fan of the trend, but I do love Wildfox quite a bit. So, I decided to dress up the trend by pairing this sweatshirt with leather shorts for a little edge and these new Steve Madden pumps that kick ass.

Romper: Nordstrom Rack; Bracelet: Marc by Marc Jacobs; Sandals: Steve Madden.

Fall is almost here. And while I’m not too pleased about that, I have managed to find some cute pieces that incorporate fall colors in semi-summer styles. This romper from Nordstrom Rack is one example. It’s super chic and still has a fall flavor to it.
