MAD FOR PLAID
I'm a sucker for plaid in the fall and this top from Old Navy is the perfect transition piece while it's still warm. True to Seattle weather, it started raining while I was taking these photos but luckily I was wearing my new floppy hat! Since it has been cooler in the evenings, I threw on my favorite J.Crew Factory cords to complete my look. I'm so excited for fall, what about you?
VANCOUVER SEAWALL
Mr. Jones and I took a little road trip to Vancouver for Labor Day weekend with my brother and sister in-law. We stayed downtown and decided to rent bikes to explore the city along the Seawall. The weather was absolutely perfect and Vancouver is definitely one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to! Along the way, we stopped at Cactus Club Cafe for some refreshments (sangria, anyone?!). This leather backpack fit everything I needed for the day, and the quilted leather is so effortlessly chic. I hope you enjoyed your Labor Day weekend as much as we did!
KENTUCKY ADVENTURES
When in Kentucky, I was lucky enough to be able to spend some time exploring The Falls of The Ohio and it was SO COOL! I wore these fab Hunter boots so I could splash around in the water and skip some rocks. Suede skirts are on trend for fall, but they're also the perfect summer to fall transition piece! I'll definitely be wearing this for months to come.
Have a happy happy Labor Day Weekend!

FALL HATS
SPLASH OF DENIM
Labor day is this weekend, but that doesn't mean it's too late to wear an all-white ensemble. In fact, I love to wear monochrome looks year-round. For fall temps, throw on a denim jacket, fringe booties, a nice hat, and you're all set!
Thank you, Ashton Hendrich for snapping these photos!
GRAY MATTER
I found this gray MINKPINK dress while on an impromptu shopping trip at the downtown Seattle Nordstrom. Not only is this dress extremely flattering, but it's also great for layering making it a perfect summer to fall transition piece. It also looks adorable with a flannel shirt tied at the waist or an anorak jacket!
BUSINESS AS USUAL
My profession normally doesn't require business casual attire however, I love to put together an office-appropriate ensemble for meetings (or interviews)! J.Crew's Minnie pants are just right for such occasions, and this white peplum top from Zara is a great alternative to the classic white shirt. My love affair with peplum tops began long ago and for good reason. Who wouldn't want to make their waist look smaller and be able to hide that big lunch you had? It's a win-win!
YOU DESERVE A DONUT
I'm in Louisville, Kentucky for work and have always wanted to try Nord's Bakery. Their famous maple bacon donut was indeed the most delicious pastry I've yet to try, and the bakery itself is nothing short of adorable. My friend Lindsay from Sprinkles for Breakfast sent me this awesome 'Doughnuts Over Everything' tee and it was perfect for the occasion! If you're in Louisville, put this yummy bakery at the top of your to-do list!

LBD DARLIN'
This Little Black Dress is one you can wear on repeat not only because it's a great basic, but also because it is so comfortable! The way the lightweight fabric drapes really makes my day. Perfect for a date night or even at the office with a sleek jacket, this LBD will be on heavy rotation year round.
