Whenever I’m in a rut and need a little style inspiration, I look to some of my favorite photos that I feel embody an effortless take on fashion. I have a Pinterest board filled with images of Audrey, Olivia and other women who have mastered the art of casual elegance. Today’s “Love List” is filled with fall hues and pieces that remind me of those classic, feminine photos. Whether it’s this navy sailor skirt  or these oxblood high-waisted velvet shorts or maybe even this timeless denim jacket, these pieces and textures that with hold there zeal in years to come.  When it comes to fashion, I like to take a classic approach when introducing seasonal trends into my wardrobe.  And, believe that a women can look “sexy” in conservative pieces with how tailored a garment is for her body. Take for example the cutout blouse pictured above… It leaves ample room for imagination, but when paired with oxblood velvet shorts and these camel over-the-knee boots you have an elegant, yet casual combination.

If you follow me on Snapchat (@taylorraeh) you probably saw that Justin and I were in Asheville, North Carolina this past weekend.  We had an absolute blast and were able to cross another hike off our growing list. Tomorrow I am sharing a detailed list of the hikes we have completed thus far.  We’ll be providing advice on dress, when to start, what to stop and see along the way, as well as recommended accommodations.
