Over the weekend my husband and I kept super busy with not one, not two, but THREE housewarming parties. Seriously it was so hectic! We also ventured into the city on Saturday during the day to run errands and also to grab lunch at V Street which is vegan - it was really good! I've been there a few times before for lunch since I work in the area but that was his first time there.

The thing I love about this outfit is the pop of color. Sometimes in the fall we gravitate towards beige, gray, and black but I always make sure to incorporate some sort of color into my wardrobe! This top is so much fun and flirty and the ruffle detail adds a special touch to a simple outfit. I linked some of my favorite red ruffle blouses below!

Also I wanted to share that I have a couple of fun posts coming up in the next two weeks! I am going away on vacation (any guesses where?!) but make sure to follow along on my Instagram!

Travel Review of The Breakers in West Palm Beach

If you’ve been following my Instagram account you’ll know that I was at The Breakers in West Palm Beach over the weekend. Also, if you aren’t following me on Instagram you can do so here @MyGoldenBeauty.

This is the second year in a row that I’ve been to this historic hotel and I can tell you that it does not disappoint! So a little about the hotel. The hotel was founded by Henry M. Flagler and was called “The Breakers” due to the proximity of the water and location – it is literally where the waves crash. What is interesting is that the hotel has gone through multiple renovations due to two fires in the early 1900’s. The current style of the hotel has European influences with so much beautiful architecture.

When you first pull into the long palm tree lined boulevard, you feel as though you are transported in time. You pull up into what is about to be the beginning of the most luxurious weekend. After being escorted out of your car and luggage taken inside, the lobby greats you with it absolutely stunning ceiling. Check-in was seamless and we were off to our room in no time.

We had a king room with ocean views and it sure didn’t disappoint! The bed is sooo comfortable and linens are top notch as well. There is also a cute little sitting area with two chairs and a table next to the window. The closet is also a pretty good size with plenty of wooden hangers and shelving. Now the bathroom is one of my favorites with its good lighting and the small face mirror and don't forget (my favorite part) - the television that is built into the mirror. It seriously made getting ready each day all that more enjoyable.

There are FOUR pools in total – we would congregate at the pool furthest away from the resort each day since it’s near a large bar and the lavish private beach bungalows. The pool service is also pretty good. Our cups were always full as there were always servers taking our drink orders. Each pool has a stand for towels (no limit to how many towels you take) and water. There is also a life guard on duty. In the beach area there are activities such as paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkeling, etc (but for a fee). There is also a golf course and tennis courts which we didn't check out since we were in the pool all day. There is also a Spa which we did not venture into but heard it was amazing from a few people that had services.

The resort also has many beautiful places to relax. This location is just off the courtyard.

There are definetly plenty of dining and drink options at the resort:

HMF
Steakhouse
The Italian Restaurant
Echo (Asian food)
Seafood Bar
The Circle
Beach Club Restaurant
Ocean House

Each place has really good food and HMF is where everyone goes at night to grab drinks. It is packed each night and is quite the scene! The Seafood Bar is also worth checking out – the bar is literally a fish tank! We ate lunch at the Beach Club Restaurant each day andyou won't be disappointed (my favorite is the flat bread pizza with the prosciutto and arugula and also the turkey burger). Last year when we were at The Breakers, we dined at the Italian Restaurant which is also pretty good.

We ventured out of the resort and had dinner at our friends friend restaurant called Kitchen. It was really good! They had set up a pre-fix menu for our large group - seriously there was about 20 of us! Afterwards we ventured to Clematis street and bar hopped.

Floral Midi Dress and Black Booties

I absolutely love this time up year in New England. Something about the fall foliage seems so magical. We took a trip up to Connecticut over the weekend to celebrate my mom's birthday and on the drive up I was so happy to see that the leaves were turning from green to yellow and red! It makes the drive even more memorable (which is good because that drive can take anywhere from 4-6 hours depending on traffic!)

For the birthday celebrations I decided to bring out this pretty number from ASOS with a beautiful tiered floral print and thought it would pair perfectly with black booties. Also on the subject of boots, I am so so so happy that boots season is finally here! How about you guys?

Ever since I came back from my parents house in Connecticut two weeks ago I've been in the mood for anything and everything fall. The leaves had started to change colors and fall has always been one of my favorite seasons. When I was younger my parents would take my brother and I up north to Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine to enjoy the fall folliage and the fall season reminds me so much of home.

This midi length fall tone dress is perfect to transition into fall with. It's so effortless yet chic, and screams "fall!!". I seriously can't wait to start wearing the rest of my fall wardrobe!

Here are my Top 5 Midi Dresses for Fall:

1. Floral Ruffle Short Sleeve Midi Dress
2. Women's Clementine Floral Cotton-Silk Midi-Dress
3. Gigi Floral Surplice Midi Dress
4. Cold Shoulder Midi Dress
5. Floral Tie-Neck Shirtdress

Favorite Fall Trends to Try Now for Him + Her

We are well into the first week of October and I am happy to say that fall weather is officially here! Hello to falling leaves, pumpkin spice lattes, cozy sweaters, and warm neutral tones (some of my favorite fall things!). Here are three of my favorite fall trends to try now for both him and her:

Fall Colors

Gone are the days of bright colors and in are the days of warm neutral tones. Some of my favorite fall colors include cream, olive, black, maroon, and cognac. These colors will never go out of style and you can also incorporate them into your wardrobe all year round! As you can see above I incorporated these colors in both my sweater, handbag, and heels!

Statement Sweaters

Both women and men can embrace sweaters and each in their own way. I am happy to say that for women, statement sweaters are back and are better now than ever. I am loving this ruffle sleeve sweater from JCrew that is soo cozy and warm - honestly it's perfect to wear to a casual stroll around the city to dressing up for a night out. For men, thick knit sweaters and pullovers are always in style for fall. You can layer a knit sweater or a pullover over a dress shirt to give it a dressy look. Here are some of my favorite sweater picks for both him + her:

Pants

What's an outfit without a pair of well fitting pants? For women a pair of statement denim pants such as jeans with a fray hem or jeans that are ripped at the knees are so on trend right now. For men a nice pair of darkwash jeans or chino pants in various cool fall tones are perfect to pull an outfit together!
