This dress is one of my many fantastic finds from Nordstrom Rack. I can’t remember how much I saved with this bad boy, but I know it was a lot! I just love spending a day hunting through racks and racks of designer clothes in hopes of finding the perfect deal. I’m pretty sure I picked up this bad habit from my mother, who used to drag me around to Marshalls and TJ Maxx all the time as a kid. Thanks mom!
Now back to the rack… finding the perfect deal takes a little bit more than just searching around the store! First, you have to go to a “good” Nordstrom Rack. For me that means the one in the SOMA of San Francisco. The key to finding the perfect Rack is all about the location, location, location. It has to be the closest Rack to the good Nordstroms (a good Nordstroms has the Designer Collection and usually in a big city). Then there is timing. The best time to shop the Rack is a couple weeks after there big sales.
Once you are there it is very important that you are not hungry, don’t need to use the bathroom, don’t need to go anywhere for hours and have on easy clothes on to take on/off. There is nothing worse than arriving at the Rack and realizing you only have 30 minutes to shop! Now go find a “good” Nordstrom Rack and enjoy!

Coat: Asos (thanks Ash)

Sunglasses: Chloe on sale on GILT
This DVF dress has been my go to dress throughout the trip. It is so comfortable and the fabric (like all DVF dresses) is travel friendly and wrinkle free. I spiced this look up with another pair of amazing calzedonia tights. Unfortunately these tights are only available in Europe, so whenever I land it is always on my shopping list. Calzedonia really gives Wolford a run for their money….literally. Offering a huge selection of colors, textures and fabrics at a great price point.
This guy is just awesome!

I have always loved a good chambray woven, but my love for pleather really started this season. So far I have added a pleather peplum top, skirt and pants to my fall wardrobe! What are your thoughts on pleather for fall?
Also a huge thank you to the Shangri-La, Paris for hosting Ashley and I. These pictures are so special with the amazing view!
Designers I Love: Alexander Wang
I fell in love with Alexander Wang nearly four years ago early in the morning as his exclusive CFDA collection for Gap was being placed on the sales floor of my Gap. I remember grabbing one of everything in my size and even a jacket for mom. I still wear the majority of these gorgeous khaki pieces and I even have one for sale on Poshmark.
Now, nearly four years later I still find my self spending an entire paycheck on one of his (well worth it) pieces. Here is a collection of a few of my favorite pieces from his collections over the years:
Alexander Wang for Gap (2009)
The Alexander Wang stud print classic trench has been a staple in my closet. It is super lightweight and the perfect finishing touch for any look.
This T by Alexander Wang dress was the perfect fit for my best friends laid back holiday wedding.
This backless dress was perfect for wine tasting with my cousin in Napa.
Shop his collection here

And keep your eyes peeled at Barneys during sale events. I have scored my best pieces then!
