Believe it or not, fall is sneaking up on us.  It’s the perfect time to start thinking about planning your fall wardrobe to save time and money.  I challenge you to take an entire day off of work, social media and personal life to focus on you and your wardrobe.  Sort your closet, then head out for a day of retail therapy. Self care isn’t always about manicures and spa days, it’s simply about taking time out to invest in you.  We know how frustrating it can be when it’s time to put together an outfit for a meeting or dinner date and instead of walking out the door on time, we are laying in the fetal position with a half-empty bottle of wine and pile of every piece of clothing we own.  You're shaking your head in agreement, aren't you?  Here’s 5 ways to transition your wardrobe from summer to fall and a chance to win $800 to shop your heart out.

Unless you're new around here, it's no question that I am completely and utterly addicted to bags. Handbags, tote bags, suitcases, clutches, wristlets, cross-body, satchel... Basically if you can shove your phone, lip gloss and a bunch of other crap you don't need really need, I will buy it.  I know it's addiction, but it's a fairly harmless one. I've rounded up my favorite bags for every budget for summer, fall and a few are great seasonal transition pieces too.

Oh! ...and there's $800 up for grabs to shop with, so you're in the right place...

It's here! The sale of the year! I spent hours browsing the NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE and I was super impressed with this year's sale items. If these finds don't make you excited for fall, nothing will. Is it too early to crave a PSL while I get cozy in a new cardigan and prance around in velvet pumps? I don't think so. The discounts are HUGE and I may or may of not made my wallet cry. Wait are you waiting for, grab those discounts before it's too late!

Being a woman full of curves, finding great wardrobe pieces is not an easy feat.  For so many years, most retailers and brands just assumed that since you were above a size 10, that meant you wanted to dress like an eighty year old that had given up on life.  Finally, they are starting to get it. If you make great plus-size clothing, we WILL buy it. After you take a peek at these gorgeous editorials from Violeta by Mango you will be ready to start building your wardrobe and book a trip to paradise!

Ok, so maybe it's not ideal to want to walk down the runway dressed as a bouquet of flowers like Gigi, but this does get me inspired for spring.  Jump start the season with a splash of color and a pinch of blossoming botanicals from head to toe in a floral print romper or pair this gorgeous, floral crop top with high-waisted trousers. I'm always a fan of mixing prints and patterns too, here are a few simple tips to keep in mind, when mixing florals in your wardrobe...
