Fall fashion has to be my favorite! I love the deep jewel tone colors that come with fall, the chunky sweaters, over the knee boots, scarves, cardigans, and layering. Fall, is a great time to dress in layers, at least here in the state of Utah. The mornings are cool and crisp, with the afternoons warming up, and then dropping again come dusk. I love grabbing a top that I know will get me through the afternoon, and then adding a denim jacket, cardigan, or scarf to keep me warm in the morning and evening hours.
This cute A&I Strappy Neck Top from Shopko, is the perfect top for layering. It’s cute worn alone with a pair of jeans or tucked into a denim skirt and it has the fun “strappy” neckline…so no jewelry needed. This top also looks nice layered under a denim or leather jacket, blazer, or cardigan. For this look, I layered the top with this plaid A&I Triangle Scarf also found at Shopko and I love the way it turned out.
I’m clueless when it comes to what is on trend for men’s fashion this fall. However, when I saw this A&I Long Sleeve Henley I knew that one, my husband would actually like it and wear it, two, I liked it and thought it would be a great staple for him this season, and three, it wasn’t a t-shirt or button down, so I bought it for him! It looks great paired here with a dark pair of denim and gray casual shoes. I think this henley would also look nice worn under a flannel shirt or leather jacket.
If you’re looking to update your fall wardrobe, I highly suggest checking out Shopko. They’ve got some great new brands in store and online, including their exclusive brand A&I. To see some more of my favorite fall fashion items at Shopko, check out my board here.

For years, a dream of mine has been to attend a show, any show, at New York Fashion Week. By some stroke of luck, last year I was invited to a few runway shows, and I absolutely loved it, and knew that I wanted to make this an annual trip. There are so many bloggers, press, industry professionals, photographers, etc. that want to get into as many shows as possible, that it’s a wonder how I was invited to the few I was. Luckily, those same designers whose shows I attended last year, also sent invites to their shows this year. I was ecstatic and beyond humbled that they would want little ol’ me in attendance. Besides runway shows, there are parties, events, presentations, brand meetings, and showroom visits that happen during Fashion Week. This year, I was lucky enough to attend the Style Collective party, the Obvious.ly event, the Banana Republic Presentation, and the Blogger and Brand event. All were a treat and so fun to be a part of.
Fashion Week is hectic! You are trying to juggle shows, eating, taxi rides, uber rides, walking in heels, standing in line, networking, and all this on very little sleep. It’s exhausting, but so worth it! Here is how day one played out.
We (all the girls on my side of the family) took the red eye flight from Salt Lake City and arrived in New York at 5:45 am. From the airport, we took a taxi to our hotel where we were lucky enough to check in! We dropped off our luggage, and headed out to breakfast, and then returned to the hotel so I could get ready for my first show of the day. Leaving with plenty of time (traffic is horrible in NY), my daughter and I arrived just in the knick of time…to wait in line. We waited and waited and waited, and then ended up not getting into the show. Unfortunately, this stuff happens. Luckily, we had the Vaishali show later that afternoon, which we made it to. One of my favorite things about attending runway shows, is seeing the creativity from each designer. Many of the pieces modeled are things the average person would never wear, but then there are always pieces that I would wear in a heartbeat. The Vaishali show did not disappoint.
Later that evening, I attended the Style Collective Party with my sister in law. I am very shy when it comes to putting myself out there, and I knew that this party would be a bit intimidating to go to on my own, so I was glad I was able to bring her with me. The venue was gorgeous, the food great, and the experience long lasting. A great first day at Fashion Week!
