Though New York seems to be hoping to trick us into thinking it's still summer, I'm stubbornly pushing through this heatwave by simply willing fall. If you build it they will come, right?

There are few things I love more than fall in New York — strolling through Central Park with the leaves blazing golden hues, sipping coffee with the windows open to let the cool breeze drift in, cozying up in big sweaters, scarves, and blankets. Fall shopping is hands down my favorite; I absolutely love stocking up on oversize knits, corduroy skirts, and heeled booties. Throw in a couple turtlenecks, a good jacket, and some great accessories, and an autumn wardrobe is complete.

This season, I'm headed to Shopbop's Event of the Season sale, where orders under $500 are 20% off, and orders over $500 are 25% off, using code EOTS17. It's the perfect excuse to stock up on great fall basics like skirts, sweaters, and boots. Krystal's outfit here is one of my favorite ways to style classic pieces for fall — layer a great dress over a turtleneck and pair with the perfect pair of shoes. Build out your autumn staples before Shopbop's sale ends (tonight!). Shop my picks below for the ultimate wardrobe refresh.

Things we learned from this season's New York Fashion Week: white, pointy toed patent leather boots are in. Newsboy caps are in. Checked, menswear-inspired suits are in. And, still, mom jeans are super in. What exactly is a mom jean? I'm sure most of us have an idea, but they can be easily mixed in with the many types of jeans floating around right now. Mom jeans are extremely high waisted, tapered in the leg, and decidedly a bit frumpy. They hug the hips perfectly and are more relaxed than a classic skinny jean. They're reminiscent of the '80s and '90s - think Monica in Friends relaxing at home in her huge West Village apartment. They go perfectly with a big statement belt and, the best part, essentially anything else. I realize that the Gucci belt is something that's out of budget for some people, but there's plenty of Gucci belt fakes out there that will complete the statement look for a cut cost.

Part of the lure of mom jeans is that they're easily dressed up or down. Add a blazer, a sharp white tee, a pair of heels and a beaded clutch and you've got a business dinner outfit. Or, pair with a gorgeous blouse, low-heeled shoes and a cap like Krystal does here, and you're ready to fashionably jaunt about town. Personally, I love the mom jean with a faded band t-shirt, that infamous double-G belt, and a pair of Vans. It's got that laid-back, cool-girl-on-a-Sunday feel.

What's your favorite way to style mom jeans? Check out my favorite picks below and let me know what you think!

It's no secret that New York weather can be volatile. The city absolutely loves to throw weather temper tantrums. 72 degrees, sunny, breezy, gorgeous one day; raining, humid, and either 86 or 53 (no in between) the next. This is particularly true during the changing of seasons — those few weeks of summer-to-fall limbo can wreak havoc on not only your hair but your sanity, too.

Enter: transitional dressing. It's on the tip of everyone's tongue right now, especially since we're currently in the middle of New York Fashion Week. Transitional dressing is all about mixing pieces from adjacent seasons in order to cope with the ever unpredictable Mother Nature. That means pairing breezy skirts and linen tops with on-trend autumn suede booties like Krystal so deftly does here, or maybe a chunky knit sweater with extreme-distressed cutoff shorts and thigh-high boots. It's really more about comfort than style, if we're being honest here, but there are a few pairings that can make transitional dressing just as exciting as midseason wear. Check out our picks below for the best pieces to make this in-between moment more fun.

It may only be July 21, but that doesn't mean we can't already be dreaming of cooler temperatures, cozy sweaters, and drinking warm cups of coffee without overheating. The past few days here in NYC have been absolutely brutal — 90 degrees or above and humid to boot. I'm not ready for sweltering August in the city, so instead I've turned my attention to firmly believing that autumn will come quickly this year.

I absolutely love fall in New York. The only season it rivals is spring, and while the cherry blossoms are lovely and being able to walk outside without freezing is nice, nothing matches the moody, brisk afternoons, hot apple cider fresh from the green market, and the sound of boots clicking against the sidewalk, crisp leaves crunching beneath your feet. I love fall. I love it for all the cliche reasons — the smell of the cool air drifting through your still-cracked window in the morning, the warm colors, wearing tights and scarves and oversized sweaters, the visceral need to cuddle (pets count too), pumpkin spice everything (yes, I'm that girl!). I also just really love not being sticky all. the. time. Get me out of this humidity now.

So, it's only fitting that Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale falls smack dab in the middle of summer, previewing for us the perfect autumn fashion that we, on one hand, can't imagine layering on right now but, on the other, want to dream about being able to wear. It's officially open to the public today, so go right now before all the coziest buys sell out!

While you're at it, the photos above are from Krystal's latest appearance in Glamour Magazine — run to the newsstands to see her glowing in this month's issue! She shows all of us how to perfectly take your autumn look from day to night. You can shop her outfit below along with the rest of my picks from the Nordstrom sale!

Have a great weekend,

Nora

I like to tell myself I'm not a "trends" girl. Sure, I like to be trend-y, but when it comes to trend-s, sometimes I can't be bothered. Confession: I only own one off-the-shoulder top. And it was a gift. I have yet to jump on the gingham bandwagon, even though I've of course tried on my fair share of checkered pieces at Zara. I haven't gotten a pair of satin slides like those ones Krystal looks so good in. I can't imagine myself in one of those puffy-sleeved wrap tops, even though I'm obsessed with the way other people style them.

Maybe it's because I have a case of extreme indecision any time I'm faced with literally any choice. I almost always end up putting the hanger back on the rack in search of something I might like just thiiiis much more, or might be thiiiis much cheaper (the only exception to that is online shopping — gimme free shipping and some cute dresses and my credit card will hate me). This probably makes my dad happy — he trained me well in bargain-hunting — but when I'm searching my closet for something fun, new, exciting to wear, I curse my un-trendy, indecisive self.

So, when I began seeing this particular bamboo bag on every single corner of the blogosphere, at first, I kind of ignored it. Not because I didn't like it, but because 1. I figured it was out of my price range and 2. I figured I could find a more practical, more sturdy, more insert-whatever-lame-excuse-I-have-for-trends-here. Finally, though, I had to click on the link and check out this insanely trendy bag for myself. And, lo and behold, it was at a reasonable price point and the details were insanely gorgeous and weirdly perfect. I could picture myself with this bag. You know, that montage that goes through your head when you see the ideal piece? We were sitting in a sun-drenched cafe together, shadows spilling out of its geometric frame. We were strolling through Central Park on a summer evening, everything sparkling around us. We were perusing a museum together, modern art meeting modern Ark (get it?!). That's when I knew, I had to have that bag (and let me tell you, it's just as good in person). Sometimes, the trend is just completely worth it.

It's no doubt that straw bags are on trend right now, but while you long for your order to ship off Cult Gaia's extensive waiting list, check out some of my picks below for staying decidedly trendy this summer.

Enjoy!

Happy Friday everyone! Doesn't it just not feel like a Friday?! I'm pretty sure this should be Nora's Wednesday Favorites. But, I'm not complaining that the long weekend has given me Hump Day Syndrome — what's better than realizing it's Friday when you've been thinking it was a whole other day?

I hope you had an amazing holiday, filled to the brim with grilled corn and good fireworks. I spent my Fourth of July drinking coffee, eating Shake Shack, and watching 5 (!) Macy's barges simultaneously set off classic NYC fireworks in the East River from an amazing Greenpoint rooftop. Can't really be beat! However, now that yet another holiday is over — they just go by so quickly — it's time to look ahead to the next events that truly matter. Mainly: summer sales. There are some amazing ones going on, like up to 75% off final sale at Neiman Marcus, 50% off new arrivals at Nasty Gal, up to 70% off sale at SSENSE, and more! Check out my picks for all of your Wednesday-feeling weekend below.

New York weather has been absolutely CRAZY the past few weeks (and by past few weeks I really mean always). One day the temps will barely reach 60 degrees, and others it will be 95 and thunder storming. With this unpredictability constantly looming over our heads, I've been feeling like nothing in my closet is cutting it. I packed away my sweaters for summer only to have to dig some out for the chillier days, and I've actually had to run out and buy light, airy tops to change into midday on a few select sweltering afternoons. So, in the spirit of impulse shopping, I'm bringing you my favorites from possibly one of the best impulse shopping destinations: Asos.

Personally, I consistently prefer Asos over other stores like Zara and H&M, and as an online shopping addict, I love the accessibility and positively overwhelming options (not to mention free shipping!). If you're looking for any kind of trend, whether it's off the shoulder, ruffled, floral, midi — or you're just searching for some good,  quality basics (I love their bounty of cotton and linen items for summer), it's a great place to get everything in one spot. So, check out my favorites currently part of Asos' awesome treat-yo-self up to 50% off sale below. Until next Friday!

 

Bonjour! It's me, Nora, here again to bring you my weekly favorites. Sick of me yet? I hope not, because boy do I have some goodies to share with you!

This Friday marks the end of my first full week at my first internship ever — yes, I'm going to be a senior in college and this is my first internship ever (aka, to any college students out there, don't worry, just because that freshman next to you nabbed a sweet summer internship doesn't mean you won't be somewhere awesome soon!). This also marks the end of my first full week of dressing like someone with a veritable internship. If you know me at all, you know I'm more comfortable in boyfriend jeans or a breezy dress than business-casual pants and blazers. But now that I'm headed to a big, corporate office building at Columbus Circle every morning, my ready-to-play-a-pickup-game-of-catch-at-any-moment outfits needed a bit of an upgrade, to say the least.

So, last Sunday morning, I made a dash to some stores back home in Cleveland to find at least something suitable (pun intended) to wear to work. I picked up some basics to get me through the week: pointy-toed stilettos (with pretty details that make them office chic), blush suede loafers, and the perfect pair of tailored dress pants. I made it to Friday reworking the pants and the shoes with different blouses and dresses in my closet, but now that everyone in the office has seen all of my 3 outfits, it's time to rethink this strategy. I'm going for fun yet classy tops (prints! embroidery! ruffles!), desk-comfy dresses that allow room for the amazing 10th floor cafeteria food, and shoes that add a pop to any navy blue or grey outfit.
Take Krystal's outfit, above. She pairs a subtly cool lace-insert skirt (with a respectable hemline) with a lovely ruffled top and some to-die-for shoes. It's all about making the dress code your own. Don't feel stuck in the box of jacket-button down-pencil skirt. Play it up with some crazy slides or a fun earring. Whether you're starting your first summer internship or you just landed your dream job, find my picks below to get out of that business-casual rut!

 

Friday already?! Nora here again to bring you a short & sweet Friday Favorites post. Krystal is still living it up in Australia right now but returning to NYC to attend the 10th Annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic on Saturday, while I am currently writing this post from home in Cleveland, surrounded by high school graduation parties and ceremonies for family friends. Now that it's finally June and mother nature has started to accept that summer is right around the corner, get-togethers and events are beginning to pop up every weekend. So, that means it's time to break out the light, airy dresses and grass-friendly heels that lend themselves well to hot days and dance-filled nights. Check out a few of my picks below for all your summer celebrations, from polo matches to rooftop parties to cap and gown gatherings (and act fast — lots are from Nordstrom's amazing half-yearly sale, up to 40% off until June 4!).
