HerKentucky Shops! Capes & Wraps for Autumn
This time of year, I'm obsessed with capes and wraps. They're the ultimate layering piece for days when drastic temperature changes require multiple costume changes. They dress up jeans or leggings; they pull an outfit together with a pop of color or a fun pattern.
This weekend at the Breeders' Cup, I was thrilled that I'd accessorized with a sweater-knit wrap -- it was cool and rainy trackside, but warm inside the Bourbon Lounge. I was so glad I'd seen this awesome Talbots piece on two of my very favorite Kentucky bloggers, Authentically Emmie and Seersucker + Saddles; it was the perfect piece for an awesome day of racing!
If you have all the money to spend on a cape and wrap collection, then I'd suggest Burberry, as their colors are simply dreamy...
There are lots of amazing capes to be found at a much more realistic price point.
Of course, your favorite local boutiques are always a great place to find the latest trends. I love this one from Monkee's of Lexington.

Monkee's also has a lookalike for SJP's amazing Burberry wrap -- you can even get your monogram!
And head to the Peppermint Palm in Lexington or Louisville for one of these adorable Lilly Pulitzer Harp Wraps. I have one, and can tell you that it's super-comfortable and functional!
Fall Fashion 2014
It's officially fall y'all! Time for a round up of fall's hottest trends!
It's officially fall y'all! Pumpkin spice has taken over and college football is in full swing! It's time to bring out your chunky knits, chambray shirts, and riding boots and to update your wardrobe with some of fall's most fabulous trends! I am in love with ladylike leopard and can't wait to give my plaid shirt a glamorous makeover. Below is a round up of fall's hottest trends! Which ones will you be sporting this season?
1. Meow
Leopard in ladylike silhouettes is everywhere this season. I am loving bow tie blouses and pleated skirts in this catty print.
2. Wrap it up
Wrap/robe coats are all the rage this fall. I am loving their over-sized collars and cinched waists. Talk about slimming!
3. Shearling
Shearling makes an appearance in a big way. It will be accenting everything from moto jackets to booties.
4. Pretty Plaid
Everyone is mad for plaid. My favorite look is a plaid button down with a monogrammed vest and some killer riding boots. You can also dress it up with a pleated skirt and pearls.
5. Capes
Elegant capes have been translated into everyday wear. I am loving this trench inspired cape. It's a little more casual and a really fun way to enjoy this trend.
6. Fun Fall Colors
One of the easiest ways to update your fall wardrobe is by adding pieces in this season's signature colors. Bright orange, UK blue, grey and pastels like mint green, baby blue and pale pink will brighten and update your fall ensemble in a flash.
7. Key Accessories
Statement bags, menswear oxfords and cowboy hats will be your go to accessories this season. I am loving metallic shoes as neutrals as well.
