It's A Wrap! Fabulous Fall Layers

( Via: Sunny Gu )

When it gets below 60, we move out of sweater weather into a different type of layer. Anything you can wrap up in, is always warm and cozy, especially a poncho, cape or wrap. I found myself wearing my own poncho several times this past weekend. They couldn't be easier to wear, and are flattering to most figures. I love their "cover up" factor. If you don't own one, here's inspiration for all budgets.

Now At Nordstrom: J.Crew

(Via Nordstrom, The Thread) 

J.Crew is no stranger at collaborating with designers like Sophia Webster, North Face and most recently Drake's. Today's introduction at Nordstrom is the first partnership with a retailer. You'll love the arrival of tailored blazers, bold animal prints, pretty in pink plaids and Italian fabrics. For Jenna Lyons, creative director at J.Crew, the magic is in the mix - "denim paired with something unexpected -cashmere with chinos-a vibrant pink in a classic blazer." Girls of all sizes will love the collection. Many pieces come in both regular and petite. I'll keep you posted when more stores land in store.

Tortoise Look Flower Necklace

You can always expect the unexpected with anything J.Crew. Don't be afraid to play with the accessories. I always love tortoise with red.

Show A Lot Of Heart. Wear A Little Red

The month of February has been dedicated to Heart Awareness. Perhaps your life has been affected by heart disease, like mine has been. Both friends and family are experiencing the effects of this disease. If we all became more aware of the signs, symptoms, and preventative measures, we can fight and win this battle of the heart. Go Red For Women is the American Heart Association’s national campaign to bring an end to heart disease and stroke for women. It's a great place to start your own education. Another way is to simply wear red and make your heart smile.
