Style Fyle: autumn is coming...

As I've mentioned before, I LOVE Autumn! I love the smell, the cooler weather, the leaves changing, the warm drinks you order from a coffee shop, the cozy feelings, how the stores get ready for the fall fashions, the Bonfires & hayrides, the thanksgiving celebrations,... EVERYTHING! I adore it all! 

One of my most favorite things in autumn are the outfits and pieces you can wear & come up with! It's soo much better than summer, not to knock summer, I just like Fall better! 😉 It's a magical time of year. 


I love fall colors; the berry, teal, emerald, rust, mustard, cream, camel... Etc. but you don't have to wear the colors of fall to celebrate fall! Neons are still IN, among other colors too! Am just excited to wear some of my deeper colored nail polishes! Woohoo!

Here are a few pics I gathered from my www.Pinterest.com boards, I hope you find inspiration in all of these looks! : ) 

Casual:
These looks are for the more casual lifestyle. The one who shops, works in a less conservative atmosphere, the artistic & such! 

The poncho and the Oxford underneath andwith the rain boots, so so cute!

With the hat and the scarf and the stripes...oh my! Perfection!

I bought a felted hat like this, this past spring and I'm so excited to wear it finally! 
Also the collared shirt underneath the oversized shirt looks so great!

I also bought an oversized cashmere sweater this past spring, I will definitely be trying something like this with it!

The whole patches thing on the jeans to the chambray & sweater. Gorgeous.
I'll be wearing my chambray shirts all season long!

I'm all about the flares right now! And with that fur coat, amazing!

I'm liking the whole red pants look! Especially with a big comfy sweater. This look looks ultra chic!
Don't forget to utilize your floral & colored denim this fall too! 

What don't I like about this outfit? Pretty much nothing... 
The hi-lo hemline with the shirt underneath, genius!

That scarf and brogues look luxe with that outfit!

Leather (or faux leather) pants are such an unexpected surprise to any outfit!

With the boots and the patchwork blazer, you can't really go wrong! : )





Work:
These are some ideas for corporate working environments...


The colors just meld beautifully together.

Those pants are so cute, and that vest! The scarf brings everything together & 
makes the whole outfit pop!

I'm really liking the casualness of the zip up hoodie with the pencil skirt. Such a
nice combo! The leopard shoes are great too!

Ugh! I really like this look! The whole thing! With fur vest, the skirt( I bet it's midi length!) and top bun & sunglasses! Perfect in everyway! 

The cinched in blazer with a belt. Super cute right? 

See neon? It's such a good break from all the black going on! 

I'm really diggin' the ankle pants with the socks & platform booties, i'll have to try that!
And that jacket is super cute, right?!?


This would look like Christmas on you body if the colors were brighter, but since they are very deep & luxe, it totally works!

If you have any summer-y skirts you still want to wear, you can totally pair them with tights and a cozy sweater! It's such a fun fall look!

This is just chic & intense. With the heeled booties & coat, you can't really go wrong!



Which stores I will be frequenting this fall & winter: 
Madewell (duh!)
Old navy (it's my kind of forever 21)
Nordstrom & Nordstrom rack
H&M 
Neiman Marcus 
Gap
Free people 
Ulta
Anthropologie
And any others along the way ; )

Online:
Poshmark 
eBay 
Etsy

Style find: Nordstrom anniversary sale

                                


This is my ALL TIME favorite time of year! The time when Nordstrom sends out their catalogs for their infamous anniversary sale!!! I received mine about a week ago! And I got giddy, just thinking about autumn & clothes! My favorite season for clothes is autumn! Once it hits July, my mind is already on fall clothes & outfits! It's happened like that since grade school. Although I would usually go shopping in August, but why wait?

If they are putting autumn stuff out in July, you might as well peruse the racks and get outfit inspirations too. Take advantage of it. With the Nordstrom anniversary sale, you go into these curtained rooms, where all of the autumn inventory is on sale before it hits the shelves. It's such fun! But I believe you have to own a Nordstrom credit card. But if you know someone who owns a Nordstrom card, make it a shopping date & go with them! It's like attending a private party while you shop! Amazing!

Cashmere, velvet, corduroy, oh my! 

My style is always eclectic but I'm liking right now the madewell/free people style. Boho, free, easy & preppy! 

On my list for fall: 
Denim flare jeans 
Flared out tees (HERE)
Cardigans
Cashmere
Sidewalk skimmers from Madewell 1937
Monogrammed The Transport Tote in saddle brown
Heeled leather clogs 
Rockstar jeans in batman rinse
Brown ankle boots
Corduroy flare pants
Leather motorcycle jacket

I just LOVE the richness of autumn colors in clothes, such chicness: chartreuse, oxblood, sapphire, onyx, pewter, Bordeaux, orange, tobacco etc!


Here are some of my favorites from the Nordstrom anniversary sale catalog:

Does anyone else like autumn as much as I do?! 

Happy outfits, Ryn

DIY Friday: Button Cardigan

Have y'all been enjoying the DIY's?! I need your input & feedback! Please comment below! 👇👇👇

This is probably the easiest ways to change a look of a garment. It's so easy, it only took me about 20 minutes! (And I took pictures) 

I won & bought this sweater off of eBay, for $23.00!!! It's all cashmere, big and slouchy, which I wanted and totally the perfect color! I'm guessing you can now call me an eBay ninja! (Just kidding!) but around the same time, I won/bought a turquoise ring too! 

So, I for one, didn't want to look like a man's sweater. I wanted a feminine touch to it. So what I did was change the buttons. It's easy peasy! 


Go get yo supplies together:

Small Scissors or seam ripper
New buttons ( I used glass & covered buttons, I mixed & matched the buttons, it gives it character!)
Thread 
Needle
Cardigan






Step 1. Lay out your cardigan. 


Step 2: snip buttons of the sweater.


Step 3: It should look like this.




Steps 4 & 5: thread your needle. And tie it off.


Step 6: pull the thread through the sweater. 


Step 7: load your thread with a button. (And no, there isn't an invisible button on that thread, I just forgot to include a pic for this step!)



Step 8. Attach the button securely by tying it off. 


Step 9: snip the remaining thread.


Step 10: yay! We're 60% done!!! Only two more buttons to sew on!


Step 11: and done! Complete! It's cute right?!

P.S. Save your old buttons, in case you ever decide to give or sell your sweater. Or use the buttons on a different garment. You'll find a way to use them again, I promise!


So there ya have it! Let me know how it goes for y'all! I'd love to hear! 

Oh and there's upcoming things I going to share with y'all soon! Can't wait! 👏☺ 

XOXO, Ryn
