shopbop: friends and family

i feel like this time of year is pretty fun and everything but the columbus day sales just sneak up on us and we're not really sure what pieces we are ready to buy just yet. ya feel me on this one? like it's fall(ish) and that's great for plaid shirts, blazers and tall boots. but you probably already have those things from last year, right? well i'm right there with you. although i haven't completely moved all my fall clothes over just yet (i know, i know, i'll do it soon i promise), and i know that i have some pretty great pieces i can wear this fall too (that's why it's good to invest in great pieces). so anyways, on that note i put together a few of the pieces that i am dying to wear right now. like right now (cough, it's my bday on saturday, cough). and i want to be wearing / owning all of these gorgeous pieces to kick it off right. i mean, you only turn 28 once. haha 

after spending time in the windy city last weekend, i was loving all the capes, and just need to get my paws on some. you know how i'm addicted to leopard, and well, who doesn't just love the simplicity these clutches. oh and leather leggings, completely 100% obsessed. i want to wear them with loose cable knit sweaters all day every day. and what little lady doesn't love a great stud, love the deep plum of this pair. oh and speaking of colors, how to die are those fuchsia pumps. need them. a classic tan structured satchel is amazing. it's a great piece you can really carry all year long. oh this little zebra dish is just to cute. it can rest just on your night stand to hold your favorite rings. and these peep toe booties are pretty adorable and a fun piece for fall.

oh and you guys can get all of these pieces 25% (well ya know, some brands are excluded) right now during the shopbop family and friends event by typing in FAMILY25 at check out! so go get those pieces you've been thinking about. it's the best time!

nyfw with shopbop

as you've rightfully assumed i have been stalking #nyfw for all the latest behind the scenes pics of all the shows, street style looks, and parties. so i thought i'd pair up with my trusty shopbop to put together some fabulous looks that are inspired by new york fashion week - with pieces you can buy right now. fun right!? 

well i've been extremely inspired by the crop top and midi skirt outfit, for sure. i've been playing with the crop top look and trying to figure out if there was a way i would wear it - what would it be. and for me, it would have to be loose and long (ya know, for a crop top). i'm not trying to show anything unflattering over here. geez. but i do love a good trend and making it your own is super fun. so i love the look of pairing a gorgeous crop top with a super feminine midi skirt. the lengths definitely play nicely together, don't ya think? ones a little short, the other a little long. see what i mean? it's a great trend to try on for a night out with the ladies or a gorgeous date night with your babe.

crop tops: 
nicholas striped | piamita "elisa" | rag & bone "isla" 

bag:
halston heritage haircalf wallet 

bracelets:
rebecca minkoff id cuff | gorjana desti cuff

skirts:
alc "bell" | nicholas ponte flare | nicholas striped ball gown 

pumps:
joie "bonnie"

oh yeah, i almost forgot, have you checked out the shopbop app? i know, another way to shop. it's super user friendly and easy to use. i like the filters to help me narrow in on the things i'm looking for. have you used it yet? well, give it a try and let me know what you think.
