Fall Favorites

No matter where you live, big city or small-town U.S.A., there’s no question that shopping for new fall clothes can be hard. Believe me, I know first hand. You go shopping with something particular in mind and then you never seem to find it or you end up buying a bunch of things that never end up working together, which leaves you frustrated and down right mad. But don’t lose hope quite yet because I have a few simple solutions that will help you jumpstart your fall wardrobe update. Striped shirts may seem so basic but don’t write off this easy print as boring just yet, because its all about how you layer them. I have been rocking my striped shirts with my favorite long line vest, overalls, and with my new leather moto jacket. Simple yet refined. Another fall favorite of mine is the A-Line denim skirt. It may bring back memories of high school and college, but the denim skirt has been making a slow and steady comeback this year. Trust me, its something worth looking into.

I wouldn’t blame you because that was exactly my reaction when Vimmia called me up to tell me about their Vimmia X line, that claims to do just that. It just sounded way too good to be true but after I put them to the test I was pleasantly surprised that these leggings actually DO live up to their name. I try to get in a workout 4-5 days a week, which means I usually end up wearing my workout clothes for the majority of the week. Since I have found myself living in my activewear over the past few months, my fitness collection has at least doubled in size. Most of the pieces being from one of my favorite fitness brands, Vimmia Active. The thing I love about Vimmia’s line is that they design their clothing with fashion forward and active women in mind. Their gear is comfortable, stylish, fits like a glove and always stays in place when working out. There’s nothing I hate […]
