{netflix movies to cuddle up to this fall}

While I love living in an endless summer... there's nothing I love more than curling up on the sofa with a glass of red wine, lighting a fall candle (Sweater Weather from Bath & Body Works - the best), and cuddling under a soft blanket when it's cold outside.

Am I right? Or am I right?

Last night my sister and I began texting about cute movies we'd seen on Netflix. The new ones we wanted to see or had liked the most were all Original Netflix movies that came out this year! We texted back and forth about our favorites and we found ourselves scrolling through the search tab to find new ones we wanted to watch and sending each other ones we'd seen and recommended. My absolute favorite was Always Be My Maybe - Ali Wong is the best!

Now, these are mainly chick flick movies... that's what I prefer to watch to relax before bed. Scary movies get me too freaked out (Secret Obsession is the one thriller on this list - but that's because the main character was a Disney Channel actress back in the day haha) so I stick to romcom's! This list is random because they're mainly Netflix Original's but some were added because I loved the actor/actress (KJ Apa and Noah Centineo anyone?!).

Okay so now I need your input... I'm positive I'm missing some stellar movies because there's only so much searching you can do haha! Leave your favorite Netflix movie you've watched recently below - or add it to the checklist and share on Instagram! Happy snuggling up on that sofa, friends :)

Love Always,

The key to staying warm while hopping around wineries is layers! A warm sweater with a little mock neck, a large scarf that you can drape over your shoulders and a wool coat (not pictured since I sat in the sun)! I put on a hat to keep my head warm and over-the-knee boots over jeans add an extra layer of warmth for your calves/knees. The reason I love layers is you never know what the temperature is going to be like outside of the city - the breeze could be stronger or the sun could be shining. It's funny the difference an hour drive can make! Some wineries can be so toasty warm inside that you practically want to roll your boots down off your knees haha.

All of these layers make for a classic outfit. If you stick with dark skinny jeans and a white sweater you can make your scarf stand out and focus on the details. I loved making the red in my scarf pop by wearing my mirrored blue sunglasses! Think about how different this look would be if I had a camel scarf on instead - the focus would probably be on my hat because that would be the eye catching detail. I think that's why I love white sweaters... they're the perfect backdrop for any fun accessory. With a scarf that has a price tag like this one does it's no wonder I can't help but want every color!

What is your go-to outfit for a day of fun? What do you consider to be a fall/winter staple?

{chunky knit sweater + brown leather boots}

There's something about fall that just makes me reach for the biggest sweater to wrap up in...

Chicwish Sweater c/o // White Pants // Tory Burch Boots // Cuyana Clutch

The chunkier the better! I fell in love with this tan sweater the second I saw it - the thick knit texture and the little hearts that are all over it made me click "add to cart" so quickly I barely knew what was happening. I know some people scoff at pulling a sweater down over one shoulder but when the temperatures are cooler this is a fun way to show a little skin ;) I love when a sweater runs larger so that you have some breathing room to really give it your own personality. Paired with white jeans and riding boots it's the quintessential fall look. Some of y'all are thinking "omg white jeans?!" YES. When paired with warm colors it's the perfect way to bring out the richness of your leather boots and show off that gorgeous sweater.

Speaking of boots... I know that Tory Burch boots are on the pricier side. I own a black pair and a brown pair and they are easily my most worn boots to work, running errands, out for dinner, etc. They are 100% worth the investment because they fit incredibly well, keep their shape, and are so so so well made. If you're going to wear boots every season - then invest in a pair that will last you for years. I have had my black pair for almost 4 years and this brown pair for 2.5 and have never had to repair or resole them (yet - I will get new soles next year to keep them in perfect condition). I treat them with a leather sponge to keep the leather from cracking and extending their lifespan!

Love Always,

{what to wear to a fall wedding}

One of the hardest things to dress for in the cooler months are rehearsal dinners and weddings! You want something comfortable to dance in, appropriate for the dress code, and seasonal! If you're like me, then you don't want long sleeves or a heavy, thick material if you're tearing up the dance floor. Getting a strappy dress is totally fine for the cold if you add a cashmere wrap to give you some warmth (bonus points because it will cover your shoulders if you're at a strict ceremony and don't want to keep a coat on). So how do you keep it seasonally appropriate... The answer? Color and fabric! Stick with dark hues like navy, black, wine/burgundy, and emerald green. For the fabric make sure it doesn't wrinkle easily (that instantly cheapens a dress) and that it's nicer than your simple black dress you wear to work. This is your opportunity to make a statement!

I originally tried this dress on in red at Shop Luna in Bethesda - y'all went nuts over it on IG stories. While I love a red dress more than anything I wanted to keep things a bit more muted for the rehearsal dinner (I was a bridesmaid) and this navy blue was so stunning when the fabric moves. It's stretchy and hugs you in the right places while still allowing you to eat (phew). I'm a small chested gal so I loved the knot at the front to give me some shape. I paired it with my favorite leopard clutch for a pop, comfortable nude heels, and the most gorgeous camel cashmere wrap I own. Camel goes with everything and really makes the navy appear rich!

Love Always,
