2019 Fall Trends

Fall is by far my favorite season! I feel like it's the only time my true style shines through. My second favorite season is spring because I can wear my warm-weather clothes with fewer layers. Since fall is top of mind (and timely), I thought it would be beneficial to share my top 2019 fall trends. If you're lucky, you might already own some of these items, as they're less trendy and more classic which I love!What I’m Wearing– Sweater: J.Crew | Jeans: J.Crew Factory  | Boots: Gentle Souls by Kenneth Cole | Bag: Cuyana c/o | Lipstick: BeautyCounter Color Intense lipstick in 9 to 5

Her story is unique — she started out as the 'Stefanie,' a double-layered necklace (instead of a single layer), adorned with semi-precious (celestite) gemstones. What makes her unique is the matte gold chevron layer.Model: Megan of Diary of this Girl 📷: Sarah Wolfe

It occurred to me that it would be fun to share the story behind each piece of jewelry. And this post is timely, as LPJ is celebrating its two-year anniversary on November 7th. Woot!
