Good Morning! The time has finally arrived, it’s the Shopbop friends and family sale! Now, is the perfect opportunity to stock up for fall and save big time on both full price and sale items. If your strapped for time or just don’t have the patience to stroll the pages of the sale I’ve rounded up the top must-buy items! I’ve decided to break these necessities down by trend / style to meet all your fall and winter needs.

I'm a girl who's habits die hard, especially when it comes to where I go for inspiration. That's why when Clinique reached out to ask if I wanted to help them celebrate the launch of The Wink I absolutely said yes! 

A few months ago while the boy and I were in Santa Barbara for Fiesta we had the most delicious fried rice. It was after a long night of enjoying live music and a few beverages and it was a mutual consensus that we all needed a little food! The small yet obviously local-favorite restaurant was serving up a variety of delicious meals, including this Tri-Tip and poached egg fried rice. 

When it comes to fall must-haves maroon is most certainly my color of choice. Call it a love for the dramatics but, this is one shade I can't seem to get enough of. Aside from color selection, I've been shifting much of my closet towards cooler weather, making the hemlines longer, and the layers more frequent.
