When I think of bundling up for Fall, I think of velvet. The ultimate luxury fabric that instantly elevates any look! Velvet pieces have been everywhere lately, so I wanted to show you how I've been styling these Navy Velvet Booties from Steve Madden! 

When I posted this look to Instagram, there was so much love for this coat! Wool coats are such a classic staple for Fall and Winter, but can honestly be hard here in Seattle since we only get brief windows of rain-free days to wear them.

I'm completely obsessed with this look! I love the toughness of a leather jacket, but it can sometimes be hard to wear as daytime outerwear without looking too bold. In this post, I've paired a faux-leather jacket from Topshop with a feminine white shift dress from Zara. Together it's the perfect combo of feminine and tough!

Shopping has always been a hobby of mine! Growing up, I would love to go to Nordstrom or even thrift stores to scour the racks to find new, cute pieces. While shopping is fun, it can definitely get expensive! 

I went to U-Vill recently and had to stop in at H&M. They had so many perfect (and inexpensive) pieces for Fall, I had to do a roundup for you! I found the above sweater for only $14! You cannot beat that when it comes to a Fall sweater!

The ruffles of Spring and Summer have continued into Fall! Statement sleeves make a perfect addition to your Fall wardrobe. This striped button down from Forever 21 was a great find in New York and pairs well with so many other staples. You know my love of stripes, so this piece is a perfect, more-Fall version, with amazing sleeves! 

A little black dress never goes out of style, but a time for it to really take center stage is in the Fall! When the weather is cooling down, a long-sleeved black dress like this one from See by Chloe, pairs perfectly with a bold lip and black leather booties. Enjoy this look book to find your outfit inspiration!

Subscription boxes may have passed the peak of their craze, but I loved them to find new products, try new trends and even get some of my favorite products in travel size. I've subscribed to Birchbox since probably 2014 and Sephora Play! since it first came out. Many of the products are honestly just sitting in my drawers, but some of them are new holy grail products that have introduced themselves into my daily skincare and makeup routines. Instead of committing to years of product exploration, here are all of the best finds! 

I just got off the plane from New York, and all I can think about are the pieces I saw on the show go-ers and throughout the streets of New York. The weather was still great, but outfits moved into a Fall wardrobe. Here are the top 10 trends I noticed that will help set you up for a stylish new season!

As if one wasn't enough, I rounded up my favorite blue striped tops and rompers you've seen on my Instagram @KelseyThisYear throughout the summer! Though they may appear the same, each has unique traits that I love about it, and gives off unique, fun vibes for any summer occasion. Keep reading to check out what drew me to them! 

Although I work in a casual environment, I have so many blazers! I only tend to grab them if I have an important meeting that day so they sometimes go unused in my closet. In order to maximize their use, I wanted to style a classic black blazer to make a statement outside of the office! Here are my three tips to dress-down your work blazer!

For all of us ladies who dread deep Vs and to-the-waist plunging necklines, this post is for you! I typically shy away from such tops, dresses and rompers since I hate showing cleavage. An exposed shoulder or shorts is much preferred in my book over a low-cut top. I wanted to share how I style low-cut items to still look polished, making it move versatile and classic!

This summer I've been loving whimsical tops and dresses. Their flowy nature are feminine and romantic, but also extremely comfortable. If you checked out my Feminine Bows for Summer post, you'll notice these feminine pieces can still convert well to the office, making them statement pieces with a purpose!

On an Anthropologie deep dive, I fell in love with this blush pink dress that looked like it could come out of a Margo & Me post. I was instantly sold, and love how airy and comfortable it is! 

I hope you had a great Fourth! My boyfriend, Brian, and I spent the day with his family celebrating with great food, company and (of course) fireworks! Summer truly kicks off in Seattle on the Fourth, so being in the sun with everyone celebrating is always a great time. 

When picking an outfit, I wanted to stick with something that could easily translate to other outfits, instead of a traditional red, white and blue get up. This blue embroidered trop with white denim shorts are both from Zara, which I paired with classic Ray Ban aviators and a gold nail bracelet. 

This spring and summer I have harnessed my feminine side! All of this season's bows, ruffles and detail have come out in full force. This recent find from Nordstrom is a beautiful, sophisticated blue top that I've been loving! I've been pairing it with other trousers for a fun work outfit, or with distressed denim pants or shorts for a more casual look. 

Summer time is all about being outdoors! My two favorite beaches in Seattle are Alki Beach and Golden Gardens. You'll see me there a lot this summer! Here at Alki, I wanted to show you one of my go-to summer outfits - easy for a beach day, brunch or even a casual work day!

Mules are the talk of the season! Easy to slip on, versatile enough to transition from beach to bar, and varied enough that you can find just about any accessory and adornment on them that you could want. With Gucci's black mule making a huge comeback last season, the trend has continued and morphed to fit any style.  

The pair I've been grabbing is a Sam Edelman white bow espadrille mule, which is a pop off excitement to any summer outfit! I've paired them with a simple black dress and neutral cardigan which can help these mules transition seamlessly between seasons. 

I'm so incredibly proud of my friends! I feel this way year-round, but yesterday was a special day celebrating on of my friends, Sydney's graduation with her masters! She's accomplished so much and I was beyond excited to celebrate with her, her family and a bunch of friends. It also helped that it was a beautiful Seattle day! 

As most people do, I got completely sucked into Target. I went for a routine errand and ended up stocking up on countless unnecessary but amazing items ranging from Whitney Port's paper plates, boxes of Larabars for Whole 30, summer nailpolish colors, and some pieces from the Who What Wear Target collection!

So many of you on Instagram have asked where this romper is from! Though it looks like a maxi dress, this is a romper with shorts underneath. I wore this outfit for the second day of Coachella and it was by far my favorite! I felt glamorous, but still boho enough for the desert. 

Before Coachella I went to Nordstrom and found this romper: Socialite Lace Overlay Romper. I originally bought it for another trip, and last minute decided to bring it - thankfully! Here are links to the same, or similar rompers! Take a look and click through to purchase the one you want!
