The Citizenry: Globally Inspired Decor
I remember going to a cozy dinner with The Citizenry team in Malibu last year, and my love for them immediately expanded. Not only are their pieces gorgeous, meaningful and beautifully hand-picked, but their mission aligns so much with mine: Make Your Home a Sanctuary.
They believe that our homes should be a reflection of the journey we take, which I think is the most purposeful perspective on how to design, create, and enjoy the place you reside to the fullest capacity. They travel the world to develop the exclusive collections of home goods - can it get any better? When I started designing our home and as I get older, the more I want everything in it to mean something. There is so much value in that and a basket just isn't a plain basket when it has a story, a purpose, and soul to it.
They partner with master artisans, blending a modern style with their time-tested techniques. As they travel to each country and only use local materials, the relationships have become entirely sustainable. Oh! And what is even better? They set out to celebrate the people behind the products - it is a way to share their stories with you!
I hope you've been enjoying our series on Making A Home. Jase and I have been so grateful for this process, and it has been even more special to share it with you each week on the blog! Stay tuned for more pictures to come, including a look at our before and afters of our home renovation.

striped dress for fall
I'm not exactly sure what it is about stripes that draw me to them, but I'm a magnet to a good striped shirt or striped dress. I think because I'm typically not a fan of patterns, so stripes allows me to wear a pattern but still embrace simplicity.This striped dress is a new favorite of mine because it will be perfect for layering once the temperatures cool down - with a faux fur vest or leopard scarf. It's also really easy to dress up or down! (AND the price is SO good!)

Nicole by Nicole Miller x JCP
Happy 10 year Anniversary to the Nicole by Nicole Miller line at JCPenney! This line is so amazing because it truly brings runway inspired pieces to your closet at such a feasible price. The prints and silhouettes are feminine and classic, yet still bold and inspiring.
This look I'm sharing with you today is so classic and could totally take you from the office to dinner, whether you're in your early twenties or mid 30's. And that's the beauty of this Nicole by Nicole Miller line at JCP. You will love it, but your mom or mother-in-law will also love it! (And seriously, $50 for a faux leather pant?! Yes please. You cannot beat that).Over the past 10 years, this collection at JCP has transformed with trends, but throughout the entire collection you will see bold prints and feminine silhouettes - making these outfits perfect both for the office or date night.

the striped dress
If there are two things in life I am a total sucker for, it's stripes, and comfort. This dress from No Rest For Bridget happens to incorporate both of those things!
Dress (c/o No Rest For Bridget) | Tassel Necklace | Tortoise sunnies | Crossbody bag | Watch | Sandals
This is one of those dresses that you throw on to run to the grocery store, return things to the mall, but could still wear it to a lunch date with a girl friend or a casual dinner with your man! I'm all about versatile pieces (especially when the price is this good!)
I'm also loving these three trapeze dresses from the No Rest For Bridget site!:

Essential outerwear
There was a time when a girl needed maybe one or two coats in her Fall wardrobe - one dressy, one casual. Done.I love though that this season, outerwear is a huge trend. It's no longer just a basic item you need to keep you warm - it's an outfit-completer. An essential accessory. So, in this case, your mentality with outerwear this season should be "the more the merrier!"I love this black & white coat below because it's lightweight, super soft, and can easily be dressed up or down. (Side note - I'm also crazy about my new relaxed skinny jeans! Finally found the perfect distressed denim).
Black & White Coat - Milk & Honey Boutique / LOFT Relaxed Skinny Jeans / Nine West bootiesI was also in Forever 21 yesterday and fell in love with this tweed pea coat and added it to my mental wish list! (+ you can't beat $42.90 for a good fall coat!)And remember this guy? A good leather (or pleather!) jacket is essential to every fall wardrobe.
