If there is one must have collaboration line this fall, it is most definitely Alexa Chung for Madewell. Having designed a few years ago for the New York based company, Alexa is back with a killer array of adorable dresses, peter pan collared blouses, and leopard print booties (Yes those will be mine). The collection debuts on Madewell.com September 22nd and let me tell you, I'll be logging on EXACTLY at midnight. ;) XO, Liza

Favorite Fall Trend: Cable Knit Sweaters
There are so many trends I am loving for this upcoming fall: chunky neck jewelry, loafer pumps, varsity jackets... the list goes on. One of my favorites though is the cable knit sweater. Although quite simple, this fall/winter item is a staple in any girl's wardrobe. Below I picked out a few of my favorites from some of my go-to online boutiques. Check them out! Hope you guys are all well. XO, Liza
Madewell Cable Knit Crew Neck Sweater, $98. I just ordered this one from shopbop and I cannot wait to wear it come fall. So cute and you can't beat the price!
Lover Cable Knit Sweater, $345. Everything Lover makes is AMAZING, so it's no surprise their cable knit sweater this season is killer. Love how slouchy it is and it looks so comfy!
Tibi 3/4 Sleeve Cable Knit Sweater, $253. Tibi was one of my favorite designers this past spring and her fall collection is pretty amazing too. This fitted cable knit sweater would look fabulous with a pair of skinny jeans or a flared short skirt.
Marc by Marc Jacobs Uma Cable Knit Merino Wool Sweater, $250. I have a bunch of Marc by Marc sweaters and they are indeed great. This is a fun color for a change and I am liking the scoop neck a lot.
Carven Short Cable Sweater, $560. Gah! Drool! Carven is one of my favorite designers hands down and the designer, Guillaume Henry is taking the fashion world by storm. I am honestly obsessed with all of his designs. This sweater is perfection and definitely my favorite out of the bunch. On the pricey side, but I'm sure it would be a worth while investment.
Pringle of Scotland Rope Cable Sweater, $1395. Gorgeous! Hey, we can stare and admire, right? Hahaha!

Photo of the Day: Nicole and Paris
Alright, so I may be a nerd that this is my photo of the day, but I can't help it. I was a huge fan of "The Simple Life" and Paris and Nicole were once the cutest best friends ever. Here they are at a recent event "reuniting" and I am in love with it. They genuinely seem so happy to see one another! They probably don't have the friendship they once did years ago, but the looks on their faces are so sweet. Yes Paris can be a moron, but her and Nicole were truly perfect together. Such partners in crime... Hence this picture brings a smile to my face. XO, Liza

Liza's August Playlist
Can't believe that it's already halfway through August! Summer has really flown by, right? Anyways, before the month ends, here is a little playlist of mine that's been on rotation on my ipod. Hope you enjoy! XO, Liza
Adore Colbie Caillat and adore this song!
Jessie J is a fabulous new artist on the scene. Her voice is amazing and I'm loving this particular song of hers.
Gavin DeGraw reminds me of when I was nineteen... my best friend and I constantly had his music on while we cruised around Chicago and Nashville. Definite nostalgia listening to his voice.
A great dance tune that's been on constant repeat for me!
A little 70's in the mix...
Going to see Portishead in the fall and I can't wait. This is one of my favorite songs of theirs.
Love C.S.S. Their music reminds me of 2006 and always puts a smile on my face as cheesy as it sounds!
This Shirelles song covered by the late Amy Winehouse is insanely gorgeous. RIP Amy. One of my all time favorite artists.
Sara Bareilles has such a beautiful voice. Period. I love that her music is a mix of slow and upbeat.
Love the soulfulness in this 1960's hit. Makes me want to dance around my apartment all day. Haha!

WANT, NEED, MUST HAVE: Rag & Bone Wessex Booties
If there is ONE pair of shoes or boots I am coveting for the fall, it is these Rag & Bone Wessex Booties on shopbop. I am definitely not a thigh high boot or high heeled bootie type of girl. I most always prefer a wedge or a combat boot that is ultimately comfortable and something I can break in. These are just perfect! I've already added them to my "wish list" on the site, so I'm just waiting for the weather to cool down a bit so I can grab em. Do you guys like them? Hope you all had a great weekend! Today my man made an amazing brunch for some friends and I and tonight we are going to my parents. A food filled Sunday! XO, Liza
