neutral transition
sweater: similar here // jeans: Old Navy // shades: Prada // shoes: Luca Stefani// bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target (similar here)
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.
loafers

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.

casual in Topkapi Palace

Merhaba from Istanbul! Here’s an example of what I’ve been wearing while visiting some friends in Turkey. And what better setting for a shoot than the Topkapi Palace. The weather here has mostly been hot and sunny, so lightweight fabrics are a must. I picked up these pants while shopping near Taksim Square the other day and they are quickly becoming a favorite!

summer scarf
tee: Skargorn #44 // scarf: Zara // cutoffs: Armani Exchange // clutch: 3.1 Phillip Lim // shades: Prada // sandals: Vince // lip: Dior Addict – Lip Glow
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!
blush tones
top: Zara (similar here) // shades: Prada // pants: Old Navy // shoes: Luca Stefani (similar here) // clutch: 3.1 Phillip Lim // lip: YSL – Rose Stiletto
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!
linen track shorts
shirt: Zara (similar here) // shorts: Madewell // shades: Prada // sandals: United Colors of Benetton (similar here) // clutch: 3.1 Phillip Lim // lip: YSL – Rose Stiletto
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!
cap-sleeve blouse
blouse: H&M // cutoffs: Armani Exchange // shades: Prada // sandals: Zara (similar here) // lip: YSL – Rose Stiletto
The weather has been gorgeous these past few days in Chicago, which means I’m out and about as much as possible. I love this little cap-sleeve blouse I picked up at H&M. The material is super thin and a great piece to dress up or wear with cutoffs for running around the city. Have a great Monday!
