Fall Fashion 2023

Fall is finally here, and you know what that means – it’s time to revamp our wardrobes with the latest trends and cozy up in style. I’m here to spill the beans on this season’s hottest fashion trends that will make you the envy of every pumpkin-spice latte-sipping fashion lover out there. Here are some of my personal favorite looks along with the top ten fashion trends of the season:



  1. Oversized Everything: Oversized sweaters, coats, and blazers are all the rage this fall. They not only keep you warm and snug but also give you that effortlessly chic and laid-back vibe. Pair an oversized sweater with skinny jeans or a mini skirt for that perfect balance.
  2. Midi Skirts: Midi skirts have been a fashion staple for a while now, and they’re not going anywhere this fall. Look for ones in rich fall colors like burgundy, forest green, or mustard yellow. They are versatile and can be dressed up or down, making them a must-have in your wardrobe.
  3. Chunky Boots: Combat boots and chunky lace-up boots are a huge trend this season. They add an edge to any outfit and are perfect for stomping through fallen leaves. Whether you’re pairing them with a floral dress for a juxtaposition or going full-on grunge, these boots are a must.
  4. Leather Everything: Leather is a perennial favorite for the fall, and this year is no different. Leather pants, skirts, and jackets are all the rage. They instantly give you that cool, biker-chic look. Don’t shy away from experimenting with colored leather – deep reds and emerald greens are stunning options.
  5. Plaid Perfection: Plaid is a fall classic, and it’s back in a big way. From plaid blazers to plaid trousers, this timeless pattern adds a touch of sophistication to your look. Mix and match different plaid pieces for a bold, fashion-forward statement.
  6. Cozy Knitwear: Of course, you can’t talk about fall fashion without mentioning cozy knitwear. Chunky knit sweaters, cardigans, and even knit dresses are essential pieces for staying warm and stylish. Look for unique textures and details to stand out.
  7. Statement Accessories: This fall, it’s all about the accessories. Oversized scarves, wide-brimmed hats, and statement belts can elevate even the simplest outfits. Don’t forget to play with bold earrings and layered necklaces to complete your look.
  8. Earth Tones: Fall is the perfect season for embracing earthy and warm tones. Think shades of brown, camel, rust, and olive green. These colors not only complement the changing leaves but also give your outfit a sophisticated and cozy feel.
  9. Mixing Textures: Mixing different textures can take your outfit to the next level. Try pairing a velvet skirt with a chunky knit sweater or a leather jacket with a silk blouse. This contrast adds depth and visual interest to your look.
  10. Sustainability: As a conscious fashion influencer, I can’t stress enough the importance of sustainable fashion. Look for brands that focus on eco-friendly materials and ethical production processes. Thrift shopping and upcycling can also be excellent ways to stay on-trend while reducing your environmental impact.

So there you have it, my fellow fashion lovers – the ultimate guide to fall fashion trends. Embrace these styles, but remember to make them your own by adding your unique twist. Whether you’re sipping on a pumpkin spice latte or taking a scenic autumn stroll, these trends will have you looking fabulous all season long. Stay stylish! 🍂👢🍁

Backcountry

For 10 years I lived in a very big city…the concrete jungle of NYC!  As much as I loved and thrived off of the city’s energy and spirit, moving to Los Angeles has given me a new appreciation for the great outdoors. I have officially replaced power walking the streets of Manhattan with outdoor activities in California. 

LA offers amazing weather year-round so my indoor daily routine from NYC naturally shifted to being outdoors! Moving across the country has given me time to reflect and reconnect with nature. I have embraced this awesome new way of life and decided to take advantage of my surroundings, so my family and I decided to take on hiking as an activity. 

My husband, kids and I started exploring different hiking paths near our home and have spent the vast majority of our time being outdoors and of course, exercising (or as my 9-year-old daughter likes to say, “getting our steps in”. 

After our first couple of hikes, we quickly realized we needed to trade in our NYC sneakers for some great hiking shoes and necessary gear. I came across Backcountry when I was searching for hiking gear and decided it was the perfect one-stop-shop for anything and everything needed to explore the great outdoors.  

Although California has great weather, it can get very cold while hiking so staying warm (especially during this time of year) is a must! 

I came across Backcountry when I was searching for stylish, yet practical hiking gear and I discovered this extremely cozy Stoic fleece jogger and hoodie set. Not only is it ideal for hiking, it’s also perfect to wear while staying cozy around the house. I am planning on layering my Stoic set when I go skiing in March! This is such a great versatile set that is also available in black at an amazing price (currently on sale)! If you aren’t in the market for a set, definitely take a look at the Stoic hoodie, it has an adjustable hood with an integrated gaiter and it also cinches at the hem, so it really seals out the cold.

I also discovered these game changing sneakers at Backcountry from On Running. They are lightweight sneakers that are ideal for hiking but also stylish enough to wear with a pair of jeans. I chose the almond color because they are neutral and easy to wear with any dark or light clothing, but they are available in a black, white and many other colors. Backcountry has an incredible selection of sneakers and hiking shoes/boots so if the On Running sneakers I’m wearing aren’t what you are looking for, I guarantee you will find a pair of shoes you love on Backcountry.

When I’m hiking, I have to be hands-free, so I like to wear a fanny pack that holds my necessities (including snacks). This Utility Sherpa fanny pack gets the job done and is the perfect size to carry around your essentials. 

My kids have two weeks off from school over the holidays and I can’t wait to explore a bunch of new hiking trails! Now that I am dressed and prepared to stay warm thanks to Backcountry, I am ready for a new hiking adventure! (Oh, but don’t forget your matching beanie)! Let the adventures begin!

Must have Trends for Summer

With glimpses of summer on the horizon and vaccines slowly but surely being administered, the hopes and thoughts of a life that we have longed for is in sight! With that being said, what exactly does that mean for the future of fashion? What does that mean for your online shopping cart and your actual closet? I am here to show you some of my favorite must have items for this summer! These pieces will make you feel fresh, new and revived! We have to embrace our new reality, look toward the future and continue to make it fashion.

Very few of us are dressing up anymore, the idea of a cocktail party or black tie event is so 2019! It’s time to DAZZLE IN THE DAYLIGHT! What does that mean? Most of what we do nowadays is outdoors; gone are the days of dancing until dawn. The days are now all about bike riding, outdoor dining, outdoor coffee dates and daily strolls. Since this is, in fact, our new reality, we should start dressing for it! Instead of buying that knockout dress you would have purchased for a major event, opt for a few beautiful, cheerful summer dresses that can be your go-to summer staples. I say go for that new pair of high quality yoga pants that you know you’re going to end up wearing at least twice a week, trade in those stilettos for a versatile slide that you can wear to dinner or your next coffee run. It’s time to accept the present and be in the here and now. I am not asking you to toss those beloved sweatpants away…I am just suggesting it’s time for all of us to step up our fashion game. Let’s remaster our wardrobe and start dressing for a bright, bold and happy summer!

Home for the Holidays with Walmart

This year, home for the holidays has a whole new meaning. For my family, it means slowing down, unwinding and staying home while dressing up in cozy and comfy clothes. It’s all about snuggling up in warm trendy layers and soft loungewear.

We are all still adjusting to the state of the world and our new “normal”. We started off this fall season with back to school fashion looking different from previous years. It was all about comfortable clothes for at home schooling or reusable masks for those who attended class in person. Here we are, almost six months later and my kids are still at home wearing their comfy lounge sets. Some days it seems harder than others to adjust to our new way of life but luckily, we have Walmart adjusting with us, helping us through the process!

During the past few years, Walmart has been one of my main go-to stores for the latest fashion finds as they offer an amazing selection of fashion forward trends for everyone in the family. Whether you are an at home “teacher”, taking Zoom calls from your living room or going in to the office, Walmart Fashion has you covered from head to toe.

Back in March during quarantine, I heavily depended on ordering just about everything from Walmart. There is nothing easier that searching and ordering the latest fashion trends with the simple click of a button on your phone or computer. They also have incredibly fast shipping (free 2-day) and a great return policy so there is no downside to ordering different items in various sizes to try on at home.

I just purchased some much needed cold weather essentials because believe it or not, it gets COLD in California. I ordered this fabulous leopard print puffer coat by Sofia Vergara; it’s warm, chic and the quality is on point! I also ordered a few pairs of jeans and sweaters from Scoop that did not disappoint. The color options are endless and I guarantee you will find that perfect cozy sweater you will wear all winter long. Looking for that perfect jacket that won’t break the bank? Look no further! I also found this chic long plaid wool-blend coat that is the perfect transition piece. You know what else has been a huge hit since last season? The faux fur vest! I finally ordered one this season and am loving the light leopard print. If you aren’t in the market for a vest but still want the faux fur look, no worries, Walmart Fashion also has it available in a jacket that is super cute!

Since the beginning of quarantine, I have been into finding super cute lounge sets that can be worn to run errands or relax around the house. I just found this tie dye set and am completely obsessed! It comes in numerous colors and is beyond soft, comfort has never looked so good! I paired mine with a pair of Muk Luks and I guarantee this will be my go-to snuggle up set of the season.

Whether you are looking to buy cold weather clothes that will keep you warm in style, cozy sets for cold winter days, basic essentials, chic boots or gifts for your loved ones, Walmart Fashion has you covered! Check out some of my favorite finds below:
