Thank you to everyone who came out on September 14, 2013 for the Santana Row Style Stroll! The event was a huge success and raised much-needed funds for the Junior League of San Jose. It was really fun meeting so many of you and talking about the fall trends!
I was stationed as a Guest Stylist at Cole Haan which has a fabulous selection of on-trend accessories for fall 2013 including leopard print handbags and pointed toe pumps! If you were unable to attend the Style Stroll at Santana Row last Saturday, please try to stop by the Cole Haan store soon! They have an amazing selection of shoes and handbags; as well as the perfect flats for everyday!
A few of my picks from Cole Haan’s fall collection are below. Thank you for supporting the Junior League of San Jose at the Santana Row Style Stroll!

There is something intriguing about mixing edgy, rocker chic studs with feminine, vintage cameos. This is what drove me to pair Twisted Silver’s new “Empire” necklace with my favorite studded fall handbag from Rebecca Minkoff in the above photos.
The new “Empire” necklace from Twisted Silver features beautiful and colorful vintage cameos. The cameos are set in brass with a pearl-like ball at the bottom of the piece which adds a little feminine, yet sassy, flair to the overall necklace. Love that!
Twisted Silver’s new “Empire” necklace works perfectly with fall 2013’s trends. Fall is all about rocker chic details, a little bit of grunge and feminine silhouettes; everything the “Empire” necklace embodies. Perfection!
This beautiful new necklace is priced at $60 and can be found online at Twisted-Silver.com. Use coupon code INSIDERS for a 15% discount. Happy shopping, and stay fabulous

As summer winds down and our eyes become accustomed to a fall color palette, it can be a challenge to get dressed in the morning! Here in the San Francisco Bay Area we are seeing cool fog in the morning and warm temperatures in the afternoon. This means we need to wear layers!

I love this beautiful dress from IBISS Boutique located in downtown Willow Glen at 1100 Lincoln Avenue. The 3/4 sleeve dress is made from a lightweight cotton in a beautiful shade of burgundy. The maxi-dress looks like a fall piece yet offers lightweight appeal making it perfect for warm summer days. All I need before the fog burns off is my denim jacket! Love that!

The necklace I wore with the dress is also from IBISS Boutique. I love how it blends perfectly with the stripes. The neutral ivory color is perfect as we move from summer into fall since it can be worn with any color palette, any season, any year! How is that for the perfect investment?!

IBISS Boutique has a huge selection of jewelry which is both on-trend and classic. Their website, MissIbiss.com has a great selection from the store, but of course the store itself has a huge and fabulous inventory which is not to be missed!

If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, please take some time to pop into IBISS Boutique at 1100 Lincoln Avenue in San Jose. You will love the shop! You can also shop a sample of their inventory online atMissIbiss.com. Use code BAF20 to save 20% off your online purchase. (code cannot be used in-store).
