mixy monday.

Happy Monday, shoppers! Hope y'all had a great weekend.

Here's a little "mix and match" inspiration from Social and Dish.

 

Bright blazer + plaid button-down + dark skinnies + cobalt accessories = cute and casual. Choose nude heels from Social or grey ankle boots from Dish depending on your mood!

Spiky ballet flats amp up a peter-pan collar top and navy jeggings. Go bolder with lace-up boots and a pink jacket. A yellow bag adds punch.

So we were super excited when we got our fall shipment of Urban Expressions bags at Dish last week...and then we really flipped when we saw that Lucky Magazine featured one of our styles in their Fall Bag Guide! Check it out...

So, it's still hot outside...but fall is in the air (or at least the stores).  Yesterday I posted pics from our fall photo shoot on my other blog, The Glitter Life.

Must-Have: The Sequined Skirt

Check out this sequined skirt that just arrived at Runway.

This skirt's natural waist and subtle bubble shape are super-flattering. We love how the sequins are matte rather than shiny; the effect is sophisticated, not disco. Wear it now with a white button-down shirt and black tights; wear it later a with slim turtleneck and piles of pearls. ($69.50, available at Runway)

Love, love, love.

I am in l00000ove with this new top that just arrived at Runway. The easy, roomy fit is the perfect complement to skinny black pants or skinny jeans; the feather is super cute and on-trend.



I'll be wearing this top (with a black tank underneath) with my French Connection skinny black ponte pants and ankle boots to Market on Friday. Super cute and really comfortable--exactly what I need for a long day of buying stuff for Runway. This adorable jersey top is steal at $39.50. Sizes are limited, so hurry!

Yes, please.

Check out this amazing suede wrap-around boot by Lovely People.



Her name is Velma and she's perfect for fall. Can't you picture Velma paired with this season's distressed skinny jeans and an oversize cardigan?

Wrap-around boots are getting great press right now, including this feature in September's People Style Watch. That's Velma (in black) in the middle of the second row.




We know you're on a budget, so we're offering Velma at more than 20% off for a limited time. Drop by Runway this week and scoop her.

Update Your Look

Hate everything in your closet? Need a little outfit inspiration? You don’t need a whole new wardrobe to look on trend for fall; you just need a few pieces to update the basics you already have. These four key pieces, all available at Runway, will make everything else in your closet look new.

1. Gray Cardigan. How cute is this origami cardigan by Aryn K.? Pair it with black pants or a skirt and boots for work. Wear it with a white tank, boot-cut jeans and your favorite heels for a night out. You’ll wear this cardigan again and again. ($72)

2. Pashmina. This lightweight, versatile piece can be worn a million ways. Knot one over a tank and jeans to run errands or go to class. Loop one around your neck, add a sleeveless dress, and you’re put-together for a business lunch. Wear a bright pashmina over your shoulders with a black dress for a cocktail party. We’ve got every color of the rainbow in stock; the possibilities are endless! ($16)

3. Perfect Skinny Jeans. A dark wash, comfortable mid-rise, and Paige Premium Denim’s famously flattering back pockets make these the perfect skinnies. Don’t be scared of skinny jeans—balance your silhouette by pairing them with roomier tops or layers, and wear them with heels to make your legs look a mile long! ($179)

4. A Statement Necklace. This great multi-strand necklace works with any simple top. Pair it with a tank under a blazer, wear it with a strapless dress for a date, try it with a white v-neck and black shorts…this piece will update everything in your closet. ($29.50)

The Perfect Transition Piece

Pashminas in every color imaginable have just arrived at Runway.
Super-soft and lightweight, these long scarves work for day, night, spring, summer, fall, winter. The possibilities are endless: Wear a knotted coral pashmina with jeans and a white tank for class or a day of running errands. Drape a bright fuschia pashmina over your basic black dress for a party. Pair a neutral black or beige pashmina with a metallic dress for a wedding. I could go on and on. But you get it, right? The best part? They're only $16 at Runway!

Statement Necklaces

If you buy one accessory this fall, make it a statement necklace.

An over-the-top necklace gives new life to a conservative suit and dresses up your weekend jeans-and-tank-top combo. Statement necklaces run the style gamut from tribal to ladylike pearls.

Check out these two super affordable options at Runway. I'd pair the Amazon necklace ($39.50) with skinny jeans and a simple white tank, and I'd wear the layered pearl-and-chain necklace (also $39.50) with black shorts and a blazer.
