2018 Boot Trends

ROW ONE (Slouchy): 1. Dolce Vita Kylar Boots  2. Splendid Clayton Boots 3. Tory Burch Brooke Boots 4. Jeffrey Campbell Slouchy Boots ROW TWO (Western): 5. Frye Western Ray Shooties 6. Frye Ellen Buckle Boots 7. Splendid Clooney Booties  8. Jeffrey Campbell Cromwell Booties ROW THREE (Moto): 9. Dr. Martens 1460 Vonda Boots 10. Sam Edelman Drea Boots (I have these and love them!) 11. Dr. Martens Aimilita Boots  12. Dr. Martens Ulima Boots

The number one request I keep hearing from you guys over and over is… “What boots are in style for Fall 2018”? So my friends…here are the top three trends for Fall IMHO. Slouchy boots, western style boots and moto boots. All of these styles have a special place in my heart because I’ve worn them all before! In the 90’s I had a pair of Dr. Martens Mary Jane’s as well as the “western style” booties, although we called them “boot shoes” back then! Then in my early 30’s, I splurged on a pair of slouchy suede Michael Kors boots. I already have these boots and am currently deciding between buying these or these! Oh, and don’t worry…our OTK boots from last season are still on trend.

So what do you think? Are you buying into any of these trends?

That New New

Today I’ve got two new Joseph A. pieces to share with you. And both are something new for me too! I don’t know if I own anything (or ever have for that matter) that was chenille! This new duster length chenille cardigan is everything. It is SO soft & SO cozy that I almost feel like I’m wearing a robe! You can bet I will be rolling into school pickup in it OFTEN.

Believe it or not, I don’t have a single houndstooth article of clothing either! I’ve got plenty of plaid and even buffalo check print but no houndstooth. I remember when ponchos were all the rage a few years back so I was more than happy to see them making a comeback. This one has a black turtleneck and sleeves so it almost looks as if I’m layering two pieces.

And last, but not least, I recently added these embellished boots to my Fall lineup. At first I was a little worried that they were too flashy. But after one wearing, I am obsessed. They are extremely comfortable and fit true to size. You can check them out here.

Fall Fashion

Fall is officially upon us in two days. TWO DAYS. It’s still in the high 70’s where I live but the mornings and evenings are DEFINITELY much cooler now. We’ve arrived at the “I’m freezing…now I’m sweating…eek…now it’s cold again” weather. I even picked up pumpkin spice flavored coffee…but I’m not allowing myself to use it for two more days! I mean, if you don’t tell people you’re having pumpkin spice coffee, did it really even happen? LOL.

Thanks to Joseph A., I’m kicking off the Fall fashion season in style. I guarantee this lightweight button sleeve detail turtleneck is going to be on major rotation. I paired the classic piece with a pair of vintage Levi’s for a cool 90’s vibe. It’s also available in 6 additional colors!

Joseph A. Sharkbite Vest

It’s still a little too hot to pull out my faux leather pants so I figured I would kick things off with my faux leather shorts! I’ve had these for YEARS. I wore them with another 90’s staple…a bodysuit. The Joseph A. plaid sharkbite vest is the perfect topper.

Joseph A Mocha Cardigan

Is it just me or has this been THE MOST humid Summer EVER? We finally got a break from the heat wave and of course it was over the holiday weekend when everyone wanted sunny skies. Murphy’s Law, as usual. But on a positive note…we got a taste of sweater weather! Which in Southern CA, means a light breeze and a few clouds in the sky.

Joseph A Mocha Cardigan

Joseph A. has been my GO-TO for all of my lightweight layering cardigan needs. This mocha duster cardigan is a must-have basic that goes with everything. In anticipation (sort of…I’m an Endless Summer gal at heart) of Fall weather, I pulled out my Fall colors and booties for this look.

For my second look, I am wearing one of Fall’s biggest trends…leopard print. This ombre leopard print duster is the perfect statement piece. It’s strange but I almost think of leopard print (and camo print for that matter) as a neutral that can be paired with almost anything. I’ve even mixed the two prints if my memory serves me right. Love a good print mix!
