Classic Red Sweater, Old Navy Skinny Jeans, Crown Vintage Bootie, Flannel Blanket Scarf, Necklace with Charms and Tassel

The holiday season is upon us! One of my favorite times of the year and needless to say I love dressing up for the season. From holiday parties to family pictures for greeting cards, everyone brings out their best outfits. One of my go-to for the season is a classic holiday red sweater.

I’ve had different versions in the past few years with different styles but one thing that remains is the bold, bright color. It’s striking and perfect for the holiday season. I’ve paired this red sweater with a pair of skinny jeans and a plaid blanket scarf. Easy, simple and chic for late fall Thanksgiving and holiday season.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving friends!

It’s been a while since we had one of our Fashion Fridays. I know it is late in the season but I didn’t get around to sharing with you any of my favorite fall pieces this year. Before the season ends and the snow gets here, let’s talk about the one (or two) must-haves in the fall –  cozy fall sweaters. They are versatile, warm (duh!) and fun to mix-and-match with different statement pieces. For my wardrobe, I love bold colors and patterns but every now and then I go for a more classic piece like this green open-front sweater.

Nothing beats the crisp fall air with a cozy sweater, favorite scarf and boots. For most of you, there’s another 6 weeks of fall left. So be sure to shop for some new cozy fall sweaters. For those of us in the northeast, winter is just around the corner. Layer up!

I’ve been on the hunt for a classic white blazer for a long time. It’s hard to find the right cut, style and fit when you have a broader shoulder than normal but I found one that I am in love with. In my opinion fitted white blazers are a must in every wardrobe. They are versatile, timeless and feminine (with a side of girl boss!).

With several fitted versions, I loved that this blazer was loose and yet still looked stylish. Throw this on a t-shirt and jeans on a cool Saturday evening or dress it up with a detail top and heels for a dressier option. Of course blazers are always on point for a work outfit. I paired mine here with a lace-detailed tank top and jeans for an evening in Charleston, SC.

Have you guys seen the off-the-shoulder/cold-shoulder trend? I am sure you have because it is not new and EVERYWHERE. I am usually late to noticing trends but this one was on my radar the minute every store decided to get on board. To be honest this was a thing last year but I think this summer it is exploding more. Time to jump on the train?? I took the jump with this floral off-the-shoulder top outfit with skinny jeans.

I was hunting for a utility jacket for spring and figured I should share with you some of my favorites I came across. I know most of you are almost done with spring but for those of us in the Northeast USA, we are just getting started. We finally traded our heavy winter coats for lighter, functional spring jackets and rain boots.

Utility Jackets are military-style lightweight jackets perfect for spring and summer nights. It’s currently a trend that caught my eye last fall but I never got around to shopping for one.

Gosh it’s been too long since I did a Fashion Fridays post on here. No excuse beyond having a baby, getting busy and never having time to a) shop and b) take care of myself to look presentable in front of a camera. But thanks to my girl pal Allie, I was able to get these pictures the other day we were in NYC for an event.

Today marks the 500th post that I have published on this blog!! While almost 490 of those are dessert recipes, it is time I reclaimed the “blahnik” in Blahnik Baker with a few more fashion, lifestyle and outfit posts. You will have to bear with me because I am not one to stand in front of the camera but I will try to share with you some of the trends and outfits that excite me.

Back to today’s outfit featuring some of my favorite fall hues. I am loving the warm and beautiful fall we are having. Especially the colors!!! Warm, earthy tones with pops of color. My fall wardrobe is filled with lots of grays, mustard yellow, dark green (emerald-ish) and BURGUNDY. So it was very easy to pull together this outfit as I hoped on a plane for a day trip to the city.

These burgundy Nine West heels (my new favorite for work!) inspired a whole shopping trip to find new pieces to wear with it. Isn’t it amazing how a pair of shoes can change everything? Wait…Cinderella established that ages ago.

If you haven’t picked up a fall piece with some burgundy in it, get on it! Get a statement print blouse, a bold pair of pants or heels. Just don’t wear all together. Try to pair it with neutral tones like gray or earthy browns. Check out my Fall Outfits Pinterest board for more inspiration.
