EEK! We're only two days away from the 2024 State Fair of Texas! I LOVE to go to the state fair each year and look forward to the food, exhibitions, animals and variety of entertainment. We've been going for over 30 years! Tickets can be purchased HERE. The 2024 fair theme is "24 DAYS OF FUN," which is the perfect theme to celebrate the fair fun for 24 days in 2024. Over the years I've learned a few tips and tricks to easily navigate the State Fair of Texas so I thought I would share them today.

Oh thank goodness it's finally FRIDAY! So you all know that I've been talking a lot about fall transitional pieces (such as HERE and HERE). I want to continue that convo today by looking at classic fall pieces and why having a capsule collection is important.  A capsule wardrobe just means that you have a select number of pieces in your wardrobe that are must-haves. These are items that you can mix and match and that never go out of style. These pieces should be really basic so that they are more versatile. I typically buy designer for my capsule wardrobe so that I know I have pieces that are high quality and will last for years. But just in case you are on a budget, I have included items at a variety of price points. Let's take a more detailed look below at the styles you must have to create your perfect fall capsule wardrobe. If you're not quite ready to buy items like coats, I recommend bookmarking this page for a later reference. [show_shopthepost_widget id="5243164"]

 I had the privilege of going on a brand trip with Avara to the beautiful, picturesque town of Stowe, Vermont. Wow! Talk about the epitome of fall.

Happy Monday! I cannot believe that for most of you start school this week. I hope everyone has been enjoying their last days of summer!

Today let's take a look at my favorite white fashion pieces for summer and beyond, plus how to style them. [show_shopthepost_widget id="5221440"]
