Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  I had a great time covering Shop Your City Day in New Orleans with Krystal from A Pinch Of Lovely and hanging out with all of the guest bloggers in town for NOLA Fashion Week.  I’ll post a recap of the weekend later this week.

Now, about this bag…I’m sure that by now you know that the Hayden Satchel is my “it” bag for the season.  I even featured it on my WBRZ News segment this month, which you can view here–> Haute Off The Rack’s Fall Five.  Everything about this bag is perfect from its emerald green color and rich textured embossed leather to its roomy size and convenient cross-body strap. Even though it’s still super hot here in Louisiana, Abbey of District Dress Up and I wanted to give you a fall preview of how to style these gorgeous emerald green Gigi New York bags for everyday wear.

I styled my bag with a pair of olive green moto leggings, a cream J. Crew top and a twill jacket from H&M. For shoes and accessories, I wore some taupe suede ankle booties to brighten up the look and a black leather baseball cap for a hint of edge.

Head over to District Dress Up to see more on how she styled her Gigi bag!

Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a nice weekend. I don’t know about you, but I’m beyond over this scorching southern heat. I know cool weather is far from near, but I can still fantasize about leather jackets, leggings and booties. Right?  Kind of like how guys start their own fantasy football teams, I’m starting my own fantasy fall wardrobe.  Currently, these are my top picks from H&M online, but I’m sure that is subject to change as new arrivals hit the web.  I’ll keep you updated and I’ll also be styling a few of these pieces on Haute Off The Rack once fall gets closer. However, you’ve already seen me style the khaki green twill jacket with a dainty white embroidered dress. (See outfit here). Pairing a fall jacket with your summer sun dresses is a great way to start transitioning your looks from summer to pre-fall.

P.S. Don’t forget there is still time to enter the H&M 50 States of Fashion contest!
