cozy cape-scarfs

There is no more quintessential fall accessory than an over-sized cozy scarf, and this year add a cape-scarf to the mix!

I fell in love with the light grey and ivory cape-scarf from J.Crew.  Wear it bundled about the neck as an over-sized scarf, or drape it over your shoulders and use the arm slits for classic cape. The light grey and ivory is a great go-with-everything color and I can’t wait to pair it with skinny jeans, tall boots, and a lightweight cashmere sweater.  Bring on the cooler weather!

Cape-scarf by J. Crew.  Comes in red/navy and light grey/ivory.  I bought the light grey and ivory, but the red and navy is great too – particularly for the upcoming holidays!

Cape-scarf in oversized plaid by J. Crew.  Comes in graphite/ivory and navy/ivory.

Plaid blanket cape scarf by French Connection.  Comes in black/gray.

Reversible chevron cape wrap by Aqua.  Comes in black/navy/gray, gray/ivory/sand, and pinot/ivory/black.

Burberry London reversible checkered wool wrap.  Comes in charcoal.  A bit of a splurge compared to the others, but take care of it and you’ll wear it forever.  Timeless.

There are so many fun options to choose from this season!

Stay cozy.

Ash’s obsessions

3v3-10-17-16

Vince Camuto Surplice Tunic.  Love the color, shape, and length of this tunic.  Tuck it in with a skirt, or style it with leggings and over-the-knee boots, or add skinny jeans and a blazer– so many great styling options with this piece!

Koh Gen Do Aqua Foundation.  This is my favorite foundation.  Super light weight and simply gorgeous.  And for extra glow I sometimes mix in a drop or two of the Burberry Fresh Glow Luminous Fluid Base.

Burberry Fresh Glow Luminous Fluid Base.  The luminous fluid base comes in ‘Nude Radiance’ and ‘Golden Radiance’.  The nude is the one I use most often and it is great for fair skin and highlighting.  I also have the golden, but I mostly use it in warmer months for an all over summer glow or as a bronzer.  Wear it on its own or mix with any foundation.  I’ve been using this product for well over a year now and I absolutely love it.

 

Aj’s obsessions

Chelsea28 Pleated Hem Sweater. This is such a fun sweater. Love the simple color and the detail on the bottom. Plus under $100 – you can’t beat that.

Rush Roll Sleve Tunic.  This great, basic, black, long sleeve tunic is on sale for under $30! There is always a need for a nice basic black top.

Asos Ribbed Knit Dress. Everyone loves a sweater dress, but not necessarily the clingy aspect of them- this is the best of both worlds! A looser top with a fitted bottom. Win. Win- and at $52, that makes it even better.

more big things (!!!!)

As previewed in an earlier post, there are big things happening around Juniper Lemons and we wanted to share a little update.  Last weekend we met up for a photoshoot to get product pics for the soon-to-be-open Juniper Lemons boutique!

It was a full on family affair with with my sister AJ and mom Carol lending their modeling talents, and AJ’s sister-in-law Danielle working her mad camera skillz.  Fueled by Raising Cane’s chicken fingers and fresh squeezed lemonade we powered through the shoot.

Dresses on my mind

I am always on the hunt for dresses. I don’t wear them all that often, but I love to find the perfect dress and have it just waiting for me in my closet when I do need it. Lately, there have been so many amazing ones.

This dress is from asos and for under $100!

It is such a flattering fit, thick fabric, and looks way more expensive than $81! You need this dress in your life!
