My very favorite sweaters are on serious sale at Macy’s right now, and I just wanted to share the secret with y’all! I love these solid, crewneck sweaters for pairing with everything from jeans to dressy skirts. I try to pick up a couple every year; with proper care, they make a comfortable and luxe wardrobe item at a very reasonable price! The red will be the perfect touch for upcoming holiday events!

I wore this blush pink sweater and matching wrap to Churchill Downs last month. I swear, people kept touching my arm because the cashmere was so soft!

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.

HerKentucky was recently featured on Louisville Family Fun's podcast.

A few weeks ago, my friends at Louisville Family Fun invited me to take part in their podcast to talk about HerKentucky. I was so excited, y'all. I spent plenty of time picking out the perfect outfit that said "I'm a hip, media-savvy blogger", and then Bob reminded me that the audience wouldn't, you know, actually see me!  

Anyway, it was a whole lot of fun to talk about HerKentucky with Maggie of Louisville Family Fun. Thanks so much to the LFF team for the opportunity to introduce their listeners to HerKentucky! You can listen to the podcast here, or on the embedded widget below!
