We would like to welcome McKenna from McKenna Bleu to the Monogrammed Life!  Please check out her bio on our "Meet the Bloggers" page to learn more about her!

Found these cheap shoes at Cotton On while I was in LA, I thought they were cute but just a little plain. Added a little paint and now we have Happy Feet! This technique could be used countless ways. Grab some paint and jazz up some old shoes:)

It's finally fall ya'll!!!  And that means it's finally time to start putting out cute fall decor!  Here's a cute DIY wreath from Sarah at Belle in the City.  Now - if we could just figure out how to monogram it! ;)

Supplies:
Burlap (I used almost 3 yards)
Wire Hanger
Ribbon
Flowers and/or other decorations (I ended up only using ribbon)
First undo the hanger and bend it until it is a circle
Cut your burlap..what I used was 3 feet long and I cut it into 4 inch strips

Then fold the burlap strips back and forth
Poke the hanger through the strips, pulling the burlap back and forth
Continue that process until the entire hanger is full
and secure it by bending the end pieces around each other
Add a ribbon and/or decoration and hang on your door

We would like to welcome Katherine from Minted Glam to the Monogrammed Life.  Check out her bio on our "Meet the Bloggers" Page!  We are loving this outfit for fall!  For more fashion updates, you can also follow Minted Glam on Facebook!

It has been feeling a little more like fall these past few days in South Carolina & I couldn't be more excited to finally feel that my exessive sweater wearing has become more appropriate! It is such a refreshing change to walk outside feeling a crisp breeze in the morning as opposed to the sticky humidty that we typically have all summer long. This heart sweater is another one of my favorite more affordable versions of a style that has been popular this season. Old Navy has really been offering some great options lately!

For every season there are essential items that I believe every girl should have in their closet. These are items that are classics, can be mixed and matched, are versatile, and most importantly, will be around for years to come! Over the next week I'll be sharing by favorite fall essentials with y'all.







Although I love summer and love wearing sandals, there is nothing quite like shoes in the fall. Seriously, the possibilities are endless from flats to boots and everything in between! I'm getting excited just talking about them!



Tortoiseshell Flats: I have seen these popping up all over the place. I think Talbots was where I saw them first, but I scored a pair at Old Navy during their family and friends sale! I can't wait to style these! The pointed toe and patent is such a fun spin on a classic!



Loafers: How can you go wrong, seriously? Loafers are classic. Plain and simple. I always look to pinterest style boards to find new ways to wear these! Jeans and an oxford? check! Skirt, tights and a sweater? check! These Michael Kors are my most recent go-to loafer!



Leopard Print Flats: Need to add a statement piece to an outfit? Look no further! The leopard flats are perfect for spicing up almost any outfit! I recently paired mine with my denim shirt and pixie pants and it was the perfect touch to my outfit!



Riding Boots: This is a "no-brainer". Every girl needs a good pair of riding boots! Pair riding boots with a dress, leggings, tights, or jeans to make any outfit fall worthy! I spotted these not too long ago and I now have my eye on them!



Booties: These are absolutely perfect for fall. I'm picturing these with skinny jeans and an oversized sweater. Comfy and cute? That's my kind of outfit. Now, if only I could pull them off the way Pretty in Pink Megan does! *sigh*



Desert Boots: Another classic. Clarks has some of my favorite styles, but they seemed to be a bit chunky on my feet, so instead I opted for these Madden Girl boots! I can't wait to wear these with my favorite jeans and casual tops!


In the fall I am all about layering because chances are it will either be warmer inside than outside or vice versa, so I try to always be prepared either way!


Utility Jackets: I have always been on the lookout for a good fall jacket, something not too light but not too heavy either. Let me tell you...they are hard to come by. It's either one extreme or the other. Luckily, the J.Crew angels were looking out for me when they came out with the downtown field jacket! It is the perfect fall jacket. I love the masculine, yet feminine feel of it! I have seen these type of jackets all over this season and I definitely don't hate it!


Striped shirt: Stripes are classic no matter how they are done. They are versatile and simple, my two favorite things. Stripes are typically my go-to if I can't find anything else to put with an outfit....and it always seems to work (think: stripes + colored denim). I suggest buying a few classic striped shirts such as navy, tan, and black!
Quilted vest: While living in the mountains for college these were a dime a dozen, and maybe that's why I'm partial to them! I have worn my quilted vest with everything from a long sleeve t-shirt, leggings and uggs to an oxford, jeans, and flats. No matter what the outfit it always makes it look a little more put together and is a great layering piece.


Camel colored sweater: I'm not quite sure why I have this obsession with the camel color, but I do! I recently bought one and I can't stop going over the many outfit possibilities it has (I'm thinking layered over my denim shirt, minnie pants and a statement necklace). It is such a classic color that you can't go wrong with adding this to your wardrobe.


Denim/Chambray shirt: I'll admit it...this was a trend I was dead set on never trying. ever. Until I tried it! As much as I loved my denim this summer I can't wait for round two this fall. I am in the market for a thicker denim shirt...any suggestions?


Black Denim: I wear a lot of a) neutral colored tops b) bright colored tops in the fall and having black denim would really offset what's on top! I own a pair of bootcut black denim but am really searching for a good pair of skinnies to wear with my flats this fall! I know I would definitely get a lot of use out of them!
What are your fall essentials?
Will you be wearing any of the new trends this season?

Looking for some great transitional ensembles as the temperature outside cools off? Here are some great ideas for layering and accessorizing during those "what do I wear?" months!

Just because the calendar says fall doesn't mean you can't throw in some of those bright pieces you spent big bucks on this summer! Make this cute outfit fall worthy by pairing it with a cardigan and flats, and of course our super versatile Penny Bag!

Blazers are the way to go this season! You can take any outfit from day to night with just one piece of clothing! We love this casual look with jeans and Toms! Did I mention the blazer is from Target?! And what outfit wouldn't be complete without a purse and Filigree Necklace from Marley Lilly?
