An oversized blazer is a great transition staple for fall weather. Since it’s been warm in Chicago these past few weeks, I’ve been wearing this one as a jacket over lightweight shirts and tees. But we all know it’s going to get chilly soon, and when it does, it will be a great piece to layer over knitwear and accessorize with scarves. What are some of your favorite jackets or blazers?

I love the simplicity of black and white together; it’s classic and effortless. A moody lip is a nice pop of color, and you can never go wrong with a pointy shoe. Have a nice Monday!

A simple sweater with a pair of white jeans is an easy way to transition into fall colors. I picked up this neural knit in a small boutique when shopping in Rome last month. I know it’s going to be a go-to piece for these next few weeks. It’s easy to dress up and will look great with a pair of sneakers and boyfriend jeans.

Summer is officially winding down, sad, I know! The weather was great this weekend in Chicago, but I definitely noticed a dip in the temps at night. I find it a bit challenging to make an easy transition into cooler temps and colors. A simple solution besides layers, are neutrals and black on black.

I’ve always liked loafers (not to be confused with boat shoes); they’re both comfortable and versatile. I had my eye on several different pairs for a while, and finally decided on these Prada loafers I spotted in Rome. These will be a great shoe to transition into fall.

I’m back from a great vacation to Istanbul and Italy for a few weeks with my husband and close friends. Highlights from our excursions soon, but feel free to check out some of my Instagram pictures @taffetaandcedar. I decided on clean lines and minimal pieces for this look. Oh, and I love these leather sandals that I picked up in Capri. Simple and chic! Have a great Monday!

The simplicity of this scarf is perfect for adding some texture and interest to a plain tee and cutoffs. I love the clean lines and neutral colors, too. Have a great Monday!

I love the combination of crisp whites and blush tones together; they’re so fresh and light. The subtle gold studs on the shoulders add just the right amount of texture and nice little pop. Oh, and you can never go wrong with a pair of snake – embossed leather shoes!

I love these linen – cotton track shorts from Madewell; they’re a great mix of sporty and chic. Over the weekend, I wore these to a BBQ with a half-tucked tee and sandals and they were perfect for relaxing with friends. Have a great Monday!
