What do you all think of the way that I styled this tulle skirt for a fancy holiday look with statement jewelry, leopard pumps and a metallic clutch?  How you would wear the Ashley tulle skirt! Tell me in a comment on this blog post for an extra chance to win one for yourself just in time for the Christmas holidays!

P.S. How amazing are these Luxy Hair clip-in extensions! After trying out the Ombre Chestnut extensions, I don’t think I’ll ever be satisfied with just my normal hair again! I feel so glamorous when I’m wearing them like a goddess! Haha! Honestly though, I highly recommend them especially if you want fuller locks to work with! Also, they’re great for adding some color into your hair without having to actually color your hair!

Good Morning readers, remember how I wore this sleeveless trench coat in Tuesday’s post with jeans and a sweatshirt? You can view the post here in case you missed it–> The Chic Sleeveless Trench Coat | For today’s post, I went with an easy throw-on dress and paired it with my sleeveless trench vest to give the look an edgier feel. I also added some sleek over the knee boots and a nylon backpack for a sporty-chic vibe.  What do you think? Do you like the sleeveless trench better with jeans and a tee or an easy everyday dress? Or both?

About the boots: At first I was hesitant about DUO boots because I was new to the brand, but once I received my first pair of Dita boots in the mail, I instantly fell in love with the incredible detail and quality. Not to mention that fact that you can customize your size to fit your calf for a super smooth and sleek fit. If you’ve been contemplating about splurging on the Stuart Weitzman Highland boot, then these are the boots for you! They have the structure and quality of the Stuart Weitzman boots except you’ll save yourself a few hundred bucks by going with these. The Dita boots are nearly half of the price and the quality is just as amazing if not better! For sizing, it is best to order about a half size down.

Good Morning readers, whether you’re petite or tall, I know this grey skirt will fit nicely into your fall wardrobe.  This simple flippy skirt is one of my favorite pieces in my closet right now because it so comfortable and versatile plus it’s still warm enough to show off your bare legs.  As you can see, Krystal and I both styled this skirt two different ways and we’re both completely different heights, which goes to show that the flippy skirt trend works for almost all shapes and sizes. Krystal is 5″9 and pencil thin and I am 5 ft with a little more curve and hip action. Will you be rocking a floppy skirt this fall?

Head on over to A Pinch of Lovely to see Krystal’s outfit details.

Good Morning readers, I am so excited to finally announce that I have been working with Gigi New York over the past few months to design my very own handbag!  May I now present to you (drumroll please)…the Jenn Bucket Bag! My inspiration to go forward with this style was my own wardrobe’s lack of a good quality leather bucket bag. I have actually been on a hunt for the perfect bucket bag over the past couple of years, but none of the styles I came across ever met my standards. I’m so glad that with the help of GiGi New York, I have finally designed the bucket bag of my dreams that I get to share with all of you!

The Jenn Bucket Bag comes in Navy, Black, Stone (pictured above) and Kelly Green.  It will be available exclusively online at giginewyork.com and also at Gigi New York trunk shows hosted by Haute Off The Rack! Scheduled Upcoming Trunk Shows: Candy Apple Boutique in Metairie, LA on November 21, Kiki Boutique in Baton Rouge, LA on November 14th...more to come!

Q. Do you consider this satchel a great everyday handbag?  Is this style practical for the everyday woman?

A. Yes, I think the Jenn bucket bag is a great everyday bag because of its chic and functional design. It can be worn on your shoulder as well as a cross body bag and there is a cell phone pocket inside for your convenience as well as a secondary zippered pocket for your keys or keep-safe items. It will of course also fit your wallet, a few beauty essentials and even your mini ipad if you must. Even women in the business world need a secondary bag without the laptop and the papers and files they have to lug around all day. Everyone needs a bag that fits just their main necessities that they can just grab and go!

Q. Does the shape and colors make this a staple handbag?

A. I absolutely believe that a bucket style bag should be a staple in every woman’s closet especially in a classic color like navy or stone. It’s my go-to bag when I just need get out of the house in a hurry. I like to refer to it as my grab-and-go bag because I can just dump all of makeup and jewelry in it and finish in the car when my boyfriend yells from the couch, “are you ready yet?” for the seventh time in 10 minutes.

Q. What do you believe the demographics for this style will be and why?

A. Since the bag can be worn as a cross body bag, I feel like it will appeal to women of all ages. I’ve seen both my teenage sister and my 80-year-old grandmother carrying a bucket bag before. It’s just such an easy bag and it gives you that effortlessly stylish look we all crave. You know… that whole “I woke up like this” look.

My inspiration to go forward with this style was my own wardrobe’s lack of a good quality leather bucket bag. I have actually been on a hunt for the perfect bucket bag over the past couple of years, but none of the styles I came across ever met my standards. I’m so glad that with the help of GiGi New York, I have finally designed the bucket bag of my dreams.

Q. How does the bag function?  Ex: Work? Day? Evening?

A. The Jenn bucket bag is more of a daytime bag than anything else. However, I would still take it out at night too for dinner or to grab drinks. It’s great for travel, a day in the city or just running errands around town. Like I mentioned previously, it will fit your phone, your keys, a few beauty essentials and your wallet! This bag keeps you from bringing along all of that excess stuff that you really don’t need while you’re out and about.

Q. What is your favorite feature of this bag?

A. My favorite feature of this bag is the python embossed leather body and the tassel details on the drawstring. I also love that it has a double strap so that it can be worn multiple ways.
