fall frenzy

It was definitely cooler this morning, even though I know it will be almost 90 degrees in a few hours. I hate the cold but I am very excited about this fall's fashion! Here are my must haves to freshen up my wardrobe...Happy Friday!

obsessed with coats

I have a million coats and jackets, my friends. I also live in a city that has the climate of a swamp for ten months of the year and only a mild bite (never below 30's-40's) for the other two. We have a better chance of being flooded out each year than of receiving snow. A MUCH better chance. So why do I keep collecting coats like I am a snow bunny?
Here are my obsessions this season. All from Zara.

zara update

Ok, gang - here is an update on my Zara purchases. The palazzo pants are fabulous. I got a large (I am usually an 8) and will have to have them taken up at the bottom about a half inch. They are really long but that gives you the chance to hem them where you want. Love the color and the side buttons and the pockets. Amazeballs!

 

The yellow dress with the back cut-out was too large for me in size large, and was also made of a weird scuba suit material, so it went back. The black Angie Jolie style dress with thigh cutouts was gorgeous and sleek in a medium and even though I have nowhere to wear it I am keeping it because it makes me feel sexy...hahahaha

I also got these pants (below). I got a size 10 and they fit perfectly. They make me feel skinny and fashion-forward. But the print is just too crazy. I tried them with gray gladiator sandals and I just can't do it. I am not that cool of a girl and I don't think New Orleans is ready for it. They fit great but they are going back. 

Next I may try the black sequin blazer. 

I also want to say that the pre-printed Fed Ex sticker and return system are so easy and convenient...Have you gotten anything from Zara online? Give us a review!

Looks i love

As we move into fall I have been saving looks I love in my inspiration files. I think for a fall freshen up I want to get the Elizabeth and James leather stretch pants, these Topshop flat black boots, and this Anthropologie sheer black top. The last few years (when I was a size six) I was into jewel tone dresses, but now I am all about architectural neutrals that look clean but feel like pajamas! What are your fall wardrobe recommendations?
