Stylist Saturday Poncho: Carly
I am thankful for many things this Thanksgiving week. Our AMAZING clients! My incredibly handsome, while still being the best husband (quite the combo). My kiddos, my loyal pup sidekick, my comfortable home and good food. Also included in this list I could go on and on and on with would be ponchos :) I really love ponchos. As a stylist with a pretty subdued wardrobe, they are one of the things I look forward to the most about fall as they make any basic outfit just have m

I have to be 100% honest. I was nervous about coming up with subject matter for the "poncho" topic. That is, until I was going through my closet trying on items, and preparing another yearly clothing purge :) I had just brought back my fall/winter items from seasonal storage. One of the sweaters had an open inner sleeve with a fitted waist; a piece my mom had gotten me for Christmas a few years back. The color blocking and fitted waist really made the fuller sleeve seem

PONCHOS After announcing in my last post how much I dislike leggings, here I am wearing a faux-leather pair! Irony! But, we're not talking about leggings today. No, we've moved on to talk about styling ponchos. I nabbed this poncho a month ago from Anthropologie, knowing that we were going to be sharing how to style ponchos this month. Playing off the cat print, I paired it with my faux-leather leggings and my suede booties and a dramatic long gold chain. After putting thi

Ponchos have never really been my thing. I remember a poncho that I had in childhood that my mom would always want me to wear. It was a cream crochet poncho with tassels on it. I didn't like ponchos then and I'm still not a fan today. I much rather wear an oversized cardigan or a lined flannel. However, in 2017, Nordstrom carried a poncho that I had to have. A Barefoot Dreams poncho... aka a blanket you can wear in public. This is it to the left. It is the coziest thing I own


Stylist Saturday: Tall Boots
I am so excited about this style segment that the À La Mode team is doing for social media. Although tall boots haven't as often been my go-to the last couple of years, they remain in the closet. As Stylist Devin said, they're not trendy, they're a classic. I have always kept a riding boot on hand in cognac and black, but over-the knee is what I am going to focus on for today's Stylist Saturday blog. When I work with women, especially those in their mid-30's to 50's, I alw


Buy-of-the-Week: High Boots
I LOVE high boots. As a mom, I often feel like I am toeing the line of is this too mommy/is this too over the top and I feel like over the knee boots are my ticket to balancing both in the winter. I have two go to pairs. One is a pair with a 3" stiletto pair in a dark gray Stuart Weitzman I splurged on around three years ago (this seasons version to the side). I bought them end of season when Mall of America still had a store (tear) and I will love them forever. I wore the


Stylist Saturday: Devin
I LOVE me a good thigh high boot!! This trend brings me back to my college days when you would see every single girl at a bar wearing a pair of thigh highs, myself included! They are so easy to wear with everything and are no longer a trendy item to me. They are a classic! A need for every closet! To the right is a fun little throw back to my first pair of thigh high boots! I used to wear them with short dresses or skirts but I still think they look great with jeans! Today, I

This past Spring when Covid first took over our lives, the stylists at A` La Mode would have zoom meetings to catch up and keep each other inspired during this much more isolated time. During one of these chats Stylist Devin introduced us to Trinny Woodall. We all started following her on Instagram and fell in love with her energy and dreamed of her wardrobe. Trinny is a walking commercial for Zara. So today I feel a bit of Trinny talking over my shoulder as I showcase my
