Fall Layering & Trends!

Hi there!

I wanted to share a few on trend looks from my recent shoot with my talented photographer friend Brandon Gregoire (a few looks shot on my own), because they are looks I’m wearing on repeat right now. With the weather getting cooler but some days warmer, layering is always the best way to go so you can shed layers or add a layer depending on how cool it is that given time of day.

The first look above includes an oldie but goodie hat with a newer H&M mock neck sweater (I love the dusty rose color which I didn’t have in my sweater options) with big sleeves. It’s from the conscious collection which I always look for if I ever buy something from a fast fashion source. It is made from recycled materials! The corduroys were a recent JCrew outlet score, as well as the tan suede booties! They are both currently on sale too. Note: the second photo down doesn’t include those booties and rather older Aldo ones as well as an old pair of H&M skinny black jeans. On my LiketoKnow.it (download the app or just go to the webpage and follow me as “Carolina Santos Read”) I linked alternatives to those jeans and black booties that are currently for sale, at different price points! The earrings are Ettika (use my code Carolina10 for a discount on all Ettika jewelry)!

The second look includes a new favorite color blocking sweater from Target (later edit: now on sale!) that I am obsessed with! It’s a long cardigan style and so soft and warm. It’s so versatile as you can dress it up or down and it’s effortless. The color blocking on this sweater is also a huge trend right now (like the big sleeves of the last sweater I spoke about). I styled it with a tan tank bodysuit and those oldie but goodie black H&M skinny jeans (check out my LiketoKnow.it for great options for those!) I Earrings, necklace, and bracelet are Ettika (again use my code Carolina10 for a discount). Ettika pieces don’t tarnish and are so beautiful and well priced! They are based out of California and their pieces make such beautiful gifts too. The bag is Furla (I linked a current website calf skin one since my plastic one is only available at 2nd hand stores, like Vestiaire Collective, where I am linking one that is almost exact in another color. I also linked a Rent the Runway option on my LiketoKnow.it).

My third look includes a Poshmark score Donna Karan vintage never worn double breasted blazer with gold buttons. (I linked some great alternatives on my LiketoKnow.it and my fave of them on here.) I’ve been looking for a black blazer like it for some time and am so happy with this one! The white top underneath which you can see in the picture where I’m on the fence (no pun intended) without the blazer on is a new Vici Collection top. (My LiketoKnow.it account has similar options to it too!) The puff sleeves are really trendy at the moment and I just love this trend! LoveShack Fancy is doing lots of sweaters like this top but they are a big splurge. I finished the look with an older pair of Ralph Lauren jeans that I cut at the ankles myself, and my oldie but goodie super fave Aldo studded booties. Again there are new and available alternative options for all my older items on my LiketoKnow.it page so you can shop similar jeans and booties to what I have on! Earrings are Ettika (Carolina10 is my discount code for them)!

Finally, I shared another look I’m loving right now. You might remember my Vici Collection (Vici Dolls) rust-colored corduroy flare pants from a past post which are now sold out but I linked my fave alternative here and others on my LiketoKnow.it account. I Loving this color again this season, and I threw on a Blank NYC jacket I recently scored on Poshmark. It’s available on Amazon so I linked it here. I had it in black a long time ago and wore it to the point of ruin so I got it in this color. It’s so versatile with the vegan leather and knit material mix and multiple ways of wearing it, as shown. There are many of them on Poshmark still! Use my code PoshLina7 for $10 off your first Poshmark order if you’re new to the app. The hoop earrings are Ettika: my discount code with them is Carolina10.

Be sure to follow me on the @liketoknow.it app under “Carolina Santos Read” for all outfits linked and alternative options of the items in my blog posts (if I can’t find them on there but also just to give you guys other options to go with). Happy Shopping!

Enjoy this beautiful fall weather!

Goat Yoga!

Hi there!

I recently tried out Goat Yoga at a lovely farm near us called “Haute Goat.” They also have horses and alpacas on site that we got to hang out with. Karim and I had a blast.

In the first look above my sweater is Vici Collection and my leggings Free People Movement which I’ve blogged about before-they are now on sale! They have similar pairs in their shop now! Once I was warm you’ll see my Sugarmat “pink polka chic bra” sports bra with the beautiful rose detail in the back! I absolutely love this piece. It’s still on sale too since I last blogged about it. My monogrammed “love affair” mat also makes an appearance in this class, which I’ve raved about before too. As always take 15% off Sugarmat products using my code “SugarCarolinaS.”

The Spell “seashell gown” made another appearance at the farm too. It’s another piece I’ve blogged about and just adore especially for fall because of the color I chose. It’s still available on their site and is now on sale! It’s flowy and perfect for summer transitioning to fall since it keeps you warm while still feeling breezy and effortless with a bohemian flair. My oldie but goodie LoveShack Fancy x Superga sneakers finished the look.

Loungewear But Make it Fun

Hi there!

With the weather starting to feel chilly and more like fall, I really love cozy loungewear. I’ve included two looks I love that elevate your loungewear vibes. They are comfortable but different and a lot of fun.

The first look is a tie dye set from Vici Collection, where you can look stylish while wearing a super soft Beachy tie dye hoodie and jogger set. Note the link I included above is for other tie dye sets since mine is out of stock but there are plenty of similar ones available. The slippers are Amazon fashion! So comfy and with memory foam as well as the fuzzy goodness. Then the second look I call “loungewear but make it fashion” where you can be a tad extra while sitting at home on your zoom meeting. The pants are by my girl crush brand “Bohemian Groove on the Move” who founded their company out of an airstream which couldn’t be more cute and bohemian. She typically travels with the store (you can also shop online) but she is currently based in the Palm Beach, Florida area. You can also DM her on Instagram to place orders! The Bowie top is a second hand score off of Poshmark at my fave Posh reseller’s closet: Randi with “@rollingrackposh.” Join the Poshmark app to shop my Poshmark closet @poshlina7 and if you use my link to join you get $10 to shop with!

I hope you’re all staying safe and healthy! With all this added time at home these days I thought it would be fun to put together this edit.Who said you can’t get dressed up to go nowhere?
