VISITING PORTLAND HEAD LIGHT IN FALL LAYERS WITH TALBOTS

Visiting Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth Maine wearing Talbots fall layers

And just like that – our vacation came and went. Adam and I spent the past several days road-tripping up the New England coast and exploring Maine. On our second day of the trip, we started off in Cape Elizabeth at Portland Head Light. Since weather was full out Fall up north (and windy by the ocean), I packed practically in light layers and cozy textures.

FRENCH CONNECTION FRINGE TWEED MINI SKIRT

The Steele Maiden: Fringe tweed skirt and over the knee boots

This week is quickly slipping by as Adam and I prep for our upcoming getaway – so in the meantime I’m bringing you this forgotten last look from NYFW. Truth be told – I ended up switching out of these boots for these sneakers about two hours into the day. But footwear aside this outfit was a good balance of fun/fashionable and effortless/comfortable aka that line I’m always trying to walk. Which is admittedly easier done in sneakers.

WEEKEND STYLE: FRINGE SWEATSHIRT AND NEUTRAL ANKLE BOOTS

The Steele Maiden: Weekend style - Anthropologie fringe sweatshirt and neutral ankle boots

After a few dressier posts (this one may actually one of my all-time faves for The Steele Maiden), it’s nice to balance things out with a bit of casual weekend style. Most weekends start off Adam and I going on a chai tea (for me)/coffee (for him) run and this outfit  is exactly the type of thing that I will throw on and head out in.

4 WAYS TO WEAR A SILK SCARF

The Steele Maiden: 4 Ways to Style a Silk Scarf for Fall

I’ve been talking a lot about Fall trends – and while i’m all for a new season and new fashion, I also like finding small ways to update the pieces already in my wardrobe. One of the ways I’m most excited about this season is adding a silk scarf to my outfits. The obvious way is tied around your neck, but after picking up this printed Italian silk scarf a few weeks ago I’ve been finding all sorts of ways to wear it. It’s a small touch that I think makes a big impact, without a big investment this season.

FALL FLORALS: BANANA REPUBLIC DRESS

The Steele Maiden: Fall Florals - Banana Republic Dress and Lace-Up Suede Heels

During my stint at NYFW I played up a few of the season’s big trends (Seventies Style here and Bold Prints/Bomber Jackets here) – but by far one of the trends that I’m most excited about this season is dark Fall Florals. They’re obviously pretty but there’s also a slight seductiveness about them that is just begging for a brisk Autumn date night.
