Olivia Palmero just launched her fall collection with Banana Republic. The one item that stood out for me was her Herringbone Ruffle Cape, this would team up great white sweater, skinny jeans and cute flat. It is also an ok price point of $228. I also love the Herringbone coat by Burberry which is of course a little more $$$ but a classic!
It's official the kids are back to school. We can now tackle our giant to do list that we put on hold for 3 months to ensure our kids had a cracking summer!
First lets tackle a bit of fall shopping. Her are a few staple items I think would be great for fall:
Leather Suede Jacket in Blue Slate $198 it is a gorgeous color and looks much better in real life rather than on the website. It runs a little small but it is meant to be fitted.
I am obsessed with these Modern Slouch Boot in Taupe Suede, I am about to order them and hope they look as good on model as me. I am 5ft hard to find the perfect boot for my short legs!
Sezane is my new obsession, a beautiful affordable collection from Paris. I love this shirt for the fall but it is really an all season top. I see myself wearing it with a pair of jean shorts in the summer too!
I love Frame jeans, they look great are comfortable and wear well!

Finding the perfect flat can be hard. You want to be able to pound the streets of your town or city in comfort but still look stylish. I still can't get over I never wore flats til I moved to NYC. For the past 10yrs on the east coast I have tried nearly every flat on the planet at all price points.
The winner is the Chanel Flat which does not suit my "Mommy" salary! To justify the Chanel Flat it has lasted me 4years of pounding the streets, they are so comfortable!
Here are an edit of some gorgeous Ballerina Flats on my wish list.

This week I helped a friend with her closet. Janet has a big personality, loves a print and wonderful statement jewelry. A Mom of 3 young kids, like most Moms your closet is often put on the back burner.
Gone are your days pre-kids where we would shop all weekend with friends, shop during a spare moments at work and pretty much shop in your sleep!
Janet emailed me for help, this how I helped.
Closet Cleanse: I went to Janet's house and we started with a closet audit. I went through her wardrobe piece-by-piece and we discussed which cuts, colors and styles that flattered her. We had a generous bag of donations.
Post Cleanse: The same day I looked at her newly edited closet and I put together looks using what she had, bringing life back into her wardrobe. This helped us determine what pieces would fill in gaps and needed replacing.
Shopping: We determined Jacket, Jean Shorts, Tank Tops and Day Dress. I knew her budget and did a shop before I met her, then the fun started. Janet loved 90% of what I picked for her, nearly all are classics that she can dress up with jewelry.
Women especially Moms must remember they are worth it, they are worth dressing up even if they are just picking up their kids.
Never dress down, always dress up because you are worth it and are fabulous!
Here are the wardrobe fillers I chose for Janet (click on image for direct link to item):
Janet's testimonial: Genny saved so much time TIME. I feel like I have outfits to wear and new ideas, everything Genny chose was to fit my body type and lifestyle. With my new and improved closet, I immediately feel chic-er and more put together!

We live by the beach, our town is beautiful all seasons but summer is my favorite. I fully embrace leaving the house wearing swimwear and cover-up; apologies if I offend my fellow Westporters.
I like to wear a kaftan or coverup at a casual meal setting by the pool or beach, so I look semi-decent while stuffing my face with my kids leftover fries and washing down with rose.
Here are some of my favs (images link to website) xo
