{Trend Alert...}

 Here are a few variations on this chic look:

• For a menswear-inspired look, wear a cotton bow tie blouse with a skinny jean paired another one of the season's must-have items: the long boyfriend blazer.

• Work the transparent fashion trend by wearing a sheer bow tie blouse with a pair of skinny or even a pair high-rise wide-leg jeans or trousers, and finish it off with a slim-fitting cropped blazer or faux fur vest.

• Look for blouses in solid colors, tiny polka-dots or other small prints. Steer clear of large, busy patterns; the bow tie is embellishment enough.

Cheat the Trend

For the look-for-less: fake the bow tie blouse look by wearing an button-up blouse and tying a coordinating silky scarf (or thick ribbon) loosely around your neck in a knot or bow. Voila! – now you've got a faux-tie blouse!

(Shop blouses above: 1/2/3/4)

{Avocados Are Good For The Soul}

Over the weekend while looking through the Sweet Paul Fall online magazine, I came across a spread that was dedicated to avocados and once I spotted this pizza - I was sold. I'm obsessed with avocado, and while they are a little higher in points for me, it's something that I work into my diet because of the health benefits (an avocado has 60% more potassium than a banana) and simply because they are oh so delicious (especially when they are ripe)...

To view the recipe for the pizza shown above - click here - and be sure to view the entire magazine...it will definitely get you inspired for Fall!
