Last week, Shopbop saved me from having nothing to wear to a western cocktail wedding in Wyoming this weekend. This week, they had one of their best sales of the year, but it ends today, so grab the goods while the gettin’s good. See five faves below.
Happy shopping and saving!
1. This amazing Rebecca Taylor Jumpsuit with these perfect Acne Studio Booties in suede or grain, finished off with this fun Rebecca Taylor denim jacket and simple clutch for a pop of color.
2. Pair a casual tee, like this one, this one, or this one with some of your favorite denim like these Frame jeans and a great blazer by Veronica Beard or Tibi. Don’t forget to add the perfect bag.
3. Loving shirt dresses like this Alexander Wang gem, paired with Paige denim, some comfy slides or mules, and a hobo bag like this Loeffler Randall one. A great carpool casual getup!
4. This gorgeous Ulla Johnson skirt (pictured above) is a great season-less piece. Pair with ballet heels or these Dolce Vita mules and you have the perfect floral look for fall.
5. For something easy, throw on this Vince sweater dress-dress it down with some comfy sneakers or dress it up with these funky Schutz booties. Complete the look with some oversized sunglasses and a cute saddle bag.
The BIG Shopbop sale ends Friday night so shop soon with discount code EOTS17!!!
Guys-we’ve spent hours scouring Shopbop’s BIG annual sale to bring y’all our very favorite pieces to add to your cart! To make it easy, we’ll break it down by category so you can quickly/easily shop whatever’s on your fall shopping list before these hot items sell out!
Dresses| I’ve already got holidays on my mind! Particularly, this Cinq a Sept number and this Self Portrait jumpsuit would be so festive for any holiday soiree. Im also loving this retro pleated skirt paired with a classic white button down or even this slouchy sweater.
Shoes | There are SO many great shoes, most brands rarely go on sale. Now is the time to stock up on your shoe collection. 😉
Handbags | I am loving everything yellow for fall and that includes this handbag. I love the yellow suede and woven handle. Can we also talk about how cool this snake bag is? Ring bags are all the rage right now.
Tops | It is all about the detail. Seldom do I see a simple V-neck silk top. Most tops either have lace, billow sleeve, one shoulder, off the shoulder, cold shoulder, embroidery, cropped, and the list of details goes on. What is your favorite detail? My top three are this one, this and this one.
Denim | Cropped, flare, skinny, distressed, straight - anything goes this fall. There are few boundaries when it comes to denim…even the iconic 90’s Levi’s are back on the scene.
Accessories | Heavy metal is in guys! Mixed metal statement pieces are the new bold accessory. The fashion trends are joining forces and decades…1980, 1990 and 2000. Im adding these metal links to my cart for sure. Grab your new bold accessory here and on sale.
Heya!! Who’s ready for light layers this fall? It’s still pretty hot in Houston, but I’m finding ways to sneak in blazers and jackets at least for the first part of the day. Today’s moto is a favorite for fall now it’s on sale! The other day I layered it over a light lacy top to avoid totally overheating. But when the temps finally drop, I think this lace top would be super cute over a striped button down or this one (blogged here).
Also, we found a great selection of moto jackets and they’re all on sale here as well as a wide selection of lace tops and black totes, in case you’re updating your wardrobe for fall. And dont forget this perfect “mom heel” by Pedro Garcia. I could run a mile in these shoes, they’re that comfortable! See his collection here, which is also part of Shopbop’s BIG annual sale-don’t miss out!

Hey, Hey! Happy Hump day! The Event of the Season sale starts today through Friday on Shopbop. The details of the sale are: Spend up to $500, get 20% off |Spend over $500, get 25% off with promo code: EOTS17 .
Lauren and I attended the Shopbop party during NYWF and let me say it was nothing shy of amazing. We’re crushing hard for Shopbop’s fall collection after seeing it in person in NYC. And, trust me when I tell you that there are more than a few pieces that we’ve been coveting since then and I’m thrilled to snag them at a discount today.
The top trends we are seeing this fall…
Autumnal Tones | The It colors this fall are mustard yellow, green and red. All of which are my some of my favorite colors, but I seem to find myself gravitating more towards yellow and green. You can find an array of yellow and green blouses here and here to satisfy your fall trend report.
Velvet | Can we talk about everything velvet? Head to toe velvet - velvet, tops, pants, skirts and shoes galore. Im obsessed with velvet slides as they pair easily with jeans, pants and skirts. Not to mention, slides are comfortable compared to the typical pump.
Power Pieces | It is the year of the pantsuit. This Fall women are definitely offering up pantsuits - slim cuts, bold patterns, slouchy fits paired with peplum-accented blazers and statement sleeve blouses, as you see on me above. Shop the work ready pants here for the working and non-working modern woman.
Heavy Metal | Statement earrings are staying on the scene and this fall designers kicked it up with debuting lots of heavy mixed metals.
Happy shopping y’all!
Hey guys! We’re excited to bring you a new monthly feature on L. Avenue in collaboration with our friends at Amazon! Who doesn’t love the ease of swiping right to purchase everything from last minute gifts, books for our kids, skincare products, home essentials, and even groceries. So why not find your favorite wardrobe pieces on a website we know, love and trust!?
Each month L. Avenue will share our 10 favorite fashion finds on the website. Here’s what we’re eyeing this month! With Prime shipping and easy returns, you’ve got your new fall wardrobe in 2 days!
Check out these fantastic Rachel Comey mules and red top. Rachel Comey is a designer fave particularly because it isn’t carried by a lot of retailers; therefore, making it more unique.
If you saw my latest NYFW post I wore the white and long sleeve version of this sleeveless number. I think this would pair perfectly under this Smythe blazer or even with this sequin $25 steal for a festive holiday party.
On a more personal note, I was out of town and in a pinch because I needed black bra, so I borrowed this one from my friend. Seriously ladies, I loved it. It fit perfectly and was super comfortable. I was shocked to hear she bought it at Target! But guess what Amazon has it too for $2 less and you can have it without leaving your house. I’m equally excited to share this pajama set my friend had that is super duper soft. These remind of the Eberjey pajamas except for a fraction of the cost.
Check out these and these Cole Haan booties on sale! Need I even say more.
Last but certainly not least, these Teeki workout pants have me super excited about my approaching gym routine. Lately, I have neglected the gym, but I’m making it a top priority to hit the ground running.
After a two year hiatus, I was stoked to get to head to New York for fashion week earlier this month. Typically, I post my NYFW outfits right after I return home, but my time at my desk has been really limited lately (adjusting to a new school/activity schedule for my 3 kiddos has been cray!), so we’re a little behind. The good news is everything I wore in New York can still be found online, so I hope the next few outfit posts will inspire your fall wardrobe attire!
Today’s top is a great transition top. I’ve worn it by itself lately but plan to layer up when the temps drop. It’s super cute underneath this blazer or really any blazer of your liking. The high neck smocking is super 80’s and reminds me of something my Mom would have loved. And billowy sleeves are major this fall. The bigger the better!
Although it’s paired today with low rise denim, I actually prefer wearing it with a high waisted pant instead. Less back action if you know what I mean! Ha. I will say I’m living in these cropped flair jeans lately though. They work with pumps, mules, booties and flats-such an easy jean.

Athleisure, it’s a thing! I started playing tennis a few months back and prior to my newfound hobby never really paid much attention to athletic wear. After purchasing a couple of tennis outfits I realized how comfortable and cute they are! Now, I find myself throwing on my sporty digs even when I had zero intention of doing anything remotely athletic that day. Unless you count strolling from the parking lot to Starbucks.
When I do actually get geared up to work out, I most often do so with friends. Why not kill two birds with one stone-catch up over tennis or a jog and burn some calories! I love the selection of athletic apparel from Nordstrom for both men and women this season. So many cool throwback pieces like these retro Nike jackets. And the red Nike sneaker on my friend Sal is pretty rad too!

Hey guys! How goes it? Are y’all getting settled into the fall schedule yet? I’ve gotta admit, the struggle is real adjusting to a new schedule for my kids and me. When they are little it seems there are less activities and the schedule kind of just revolves around what works best on any given day. Sometimes lounging in pjs until noon worked best for us. Ha! Now, my oldest is in kindergarten and things just got a lot more involved. Not in terms of homework or anything, just in terms of being up earlier than we’re used to, on time and on-the-go to lots of activities most days post-school. As much as I thought I was ready for school, I’m missing laid back, unscheduled summer days. But then again change is always challenging in the beginning and it always ends up ok. I think I just have to figure out efficiency and balance, so if y’all have any pointers let me know!
Now that y’all have listened to that rant sesh (ha!), how about some fun news? We’re giving away today’s fun horoscope tee (what’s your sign?!) to 1 lucky reader and their bestie. Be sure to enter to win on Instagram here!

London-based Rachel Riley has always been a favorite childrenswear brand for my kids. Although my own fashion sense tends to run the gamit between traditional and edgy, I tend to lean traditional with my babies. Rachel Riley’s design philosophy is just that, as she draws inspiration from the forties, fifties and sixties with fine tailoring, beautiful hand smocking, hand embroidery and vintage-inspired prints.
Rachel Riley pieces tend to be the outfits and dresses that my girls want to wear every.single.day. Great taste, these girls have! Each Rachel Riley piece is also so special to me because they evoke such fond memories from milestones and special occasions in my childrens’ lives. Since baby Jack came into the picture, it’s been hard to find a clothing line where I like both the boys and girls clothing options, so Rachel Riley is a go-to when I want to coordinate outfits for the kids!
You might recognize some Rachel Riley pieces on the Royal children-Rachel Riley is a favorite of Princess Kate!
