I am sharing the coziest of all fall and winter fashion trends today – the blanket poncho! I am someone who is always cold. When our temps dip below 70, I start pulling out the sweaters and boots. I love blanket ponchos because you can easily wrap yourself up in them to stay cozy and warm, BUT the current styles also keep you looking super fashionable. If you don’t like the bulky look of some ponchos, try using a belt to cinch the waist and give you shape.
Blanket ponchos are also a must have for travel. They can easily double as a blanket or pillow on a plane or in a car. Plus, they easily make a plain tee and leggings look super chic.
Can you believe this poncho is vintage? When I found it, I seriously thought it was misplaced. It looks like something you would find in stores today. Every time I find a vintage piece still so relevant to today’s style and trends, it makes me want to never throw anything out! I’m going to need an extra closet now. 😉
If you are ready to jump on this trend, I linked a few current ponchos that I’m loving for you below. Ya’ll have a great week and thanks so much for stopping by today!

It’s almost October which in Texas means it’s time to go back outside. 🙂 I can’t wait to start enjoying brunch and happy hours outside with friends. A glass of vino, a patio, maybe a little live music – perfection!
I was really excited to find Cabanalife and their dresses which provide sun protection. I never thought about my clothing as sun protection, but theirs has UPF 50 which is the highest protection rating for fabric. They have the cutest little shift dresses just in time for our outdoor season. Houston has so many outdoor events and festivals in October because the weather is usually in the 70s, and I never think to put on sunscreen. I lather it on for the pool or beach, but outdoor wine sipping – not so much. It’s kind of cool to think this cute little dress is helping out.
Their collection has tons of bright colors, so I also wanted to share a few of my favorite ways to wear bright colors in the fall. Don’t think you have to put away all your spring and summer brights just because of fall. I wear many of my cute summer dresses well into October! My top tip is to add a cute pair of ankle boots. These peep toe booties are a great transitional piece and work well with the warm Texas fall.
A second tip is to pair with neutral or fall colors. This khaki color really helps soften the bright turquoise up a bit. You could also pair this turquoise with a camel or cognac brown to really transition straight into fall. I also like to add in complimentary fall colors like this dark purple purse.
Last, layer on lightweight outerwear. Utility vests are a hot fall item, and they pair perfectly with shift dresses. I love how they add a little bit of dimension and shape to the look. If your weather is a little cooler, this dress would also pair perfectly with a denim or brown leather jacket.
So keep those bright colors out, and try some of these tips to see if they work for you. Thanks for stopping by today!!
