preppy winter skirt

Though plaid will forever be a classic, the fabric is making a big statement this season from the preppiest to the edgiest female. Whether tartan reminds you of a sophisticated prep look or a grunge 90s trend, tartan is an absolute must for your wardrobe. I made plaid my statement item for my vacation look by pairing it with a J Crew sweater, black tights, and frye boots.

Trend Alert: Mohair

Trend Alert: Mohair

One item that’s making a huge comeback this season is the mohair sweater. Though you may remember this from your days in elementary school (Limited Too, anyone?), this fuzzy sweater is the ultimate staple you need in your wardrobe. Not only is it delightfully cozy, it speaks for itself and lessens the need for bold accessories. I paired my cropped mohair sweater with a plaid mini and my favorite platform boots for an ultimate 90s look. Weary about jumping into this trend again? Start easy with a fluffy pastel pullover paired with ripped jeans for an updated weekend look. See how I styled my mohair crop below and shop the links beneath to get my look!

Mad for Plaid

Plaid Moto Jacket Red

One of my favorite Fall trends that you will be seeing on our blog a lot this season is plaid. I love the way plaid can range from the classic prep look with pearls and a knit to a grunge look when paired with leather accents and bold moto boots. Plaid is the perfect print for any woman, regardless of your style preference! See how I styled my plaid moto jacket below for an afternoon outing with two of my close friends’ adorable pups to help support Milk & Honey raise awareness for National Pitbull Awareness Month!

Bundled Up

Bundled Up

This weekend we finally received the snow I’ve been wishing for – well more so an ice storm, but close enough in my book. There’s something so refreshing about the cold air against your cheeks and bundling up in warm, cozy clothes for a few days off of work. The best part about icy weather is the excuse to put the stilettos away for a few days and live in comfy boots! I picked up this Gap wool coat about a week ago, and it is an instant favorite. It kept me warm all day, and the moto zippers added a little edge to the classic plaid pattern. Love it.
