The air is brisk and the fall leaves have officially turned, which means it is time to shakeup my wardrobe. 

Fall, is hands down my favorite season. 

Not only do I love the nature aspect, but I find myself become more creative with my fashion choices as the months cool down. Between jackets, vest, scarves, hats, etcs. There are so many other elements you can incorporate to your everyday style.

For almost a year now, I have been sharing my love for a local Chicago boutique, August Bay Clothing Co. Their pieces are always on trend, versatile, and can effortlessly be styled from work to a night out. 

I am so exciting to be partnering with August Bay and share some of my fall favorites featuring a few of their pieces.

HELLO SUNSHINE!!
The weather is FINALLY warming up, so it is time to break out our favorite shorts, dresses, and skirts for the season!!
Chicago summers are my absolute favorite! This city truly comes to life during the summer months, especially after what seemed like the longest winter. I am sure the majority of us stay very busy during the warm months, whether we are spending time with friends and family, attending street fairs or festivals, or enjoying drinks on a city rooftop; every weekend is just as exciting as the next. However, a lot of times I find myself going straight from my day plans into the night. So, I thought I would style my favorite skirt for the season three different ways and hopefully added some inspo to your summer wardrobe. 

Let's talking about this skirt! I have been living for the gingham trend and completely fell in love with the Paris Ruffle Skirt from August Bay.  I haven't seen a style quite like this and knew I needed it in my closet. This wrap gingham skirt provides a flattering shape for all body types. The ruffles and bow detailing combined add the perfect feminine touch. So, here are some of the styles you can find me in this season. Hope you all enjoy! 

1. Hey, Batter Batter!!

Calling all my sports-loving ladies!!  One of my favorite summer activities is definitely getting a group of friends together for a baseball game. I wanted to style an outfit that combined some sporty elements with the feminine touches of this skirt. 

I paired my Pairs Ruffle Skirt with a denim jacket, solid bodysuit, a pair of white slip-on sneakers, and of course a baseball cap. Depending on how warm it is, you can easily tie the denim jacket around your waist for an effortless look. 

Now, let's take the Paris Ruffle Skirt from day to night. 

I love a good monochromatic look and wanted to incorporate that with this cute gingham pattern. I added a studded leather jacket (for all the girls, like myself that are always cold) and tucked in a black silk cami and paired it with my most comfortable black heels. Whether you are having a girls night out or grabbing dinner with your significant other, this skirt is the perfect addition to your night. 

3. Bestie Brunchin'

You can definitely call me a Sunday regular at Chicago's best brunch spots. 

Whether you like to dress up for brunch or take things on the casual side, the Paris Ruffle Skirt can do both. I added a casual chambray top that could also be worn with a little side knot. To finish the outfit off I added a summer essential, espadrilles and a rattan purse. If you are more on the casual side of brunchin', swap out the chambray and throw on your favorite graphic tee and platform sneakers.

The fall must-have you need in your wardrobe is missing and a chance to win $100 towards your next wood watch!

As summer quickly comes to an end, we start to welcome one of my favorite times of the year, Fall! I love everything from fall fashion, the beautiful weather, and of course, college football. Although it has already been about two years since my last official “back-to-school” season, I still find myself looking for new pieces to kick off this time of year.

If you rewind three years (around the same time I first started By Jules Isabel) I can distinctly remember the first time I stumbled across the uniqueness and simplistic design of Jord wood watches.

I have always loved wood accents in my home and I could not help falling in love with the idea of incorporating wood accents to my accessories with these wooden watches. Whether you are heading back to school or are a part of the working world, this is the perfect accessory to add to your collection.

The watch I chose was from the Cassia series in Zebra & Ivory. I was immediately drawn to the contrast between the thin medium colored wood band and the bright ivory face.

In case you have not fallen in love already, these watches make the perfect gift for the special people in your life. Each watch can be engraved with a personalized message, not to mention it comes in a gorgeous cedar box.

Wooden Wrist Watch

Now that I am coming up on my 1st full year of employment after graduation, I could not be more sure that this philosophy is true. 

After coming across this style on the website, I was immediately drawn to the Classic New York style. There is something so timeless about the rose gold mesh band paired with the bright white watch face.

 Welly Merck watches give you a high-end feel with the flexibility to interchange any watch face with a band that suits your personal style or mood. Each watch has a sleek appearance, not to mention you can personalize any Welly Merck watch making them the perfect gifts for your special someone!

Hello Chicago!

Let me start by saying how nice it is to have summer weather in Chicago. It's no secret that the Midwest is known for their unpredictable weather and as frustrating as it can be at times, I've learned to embrace it. 

However, this Spring day had all the right things going for it. With the high at about 80°F, my best friend and I could not have asked for a better day. It was a day filled with catch up and of course SHOPPING. We stopped at State Street and Michigan Avenue, but could not leave the city without taking a trip to Sprinkles Cupcakes. After, shopping the streets of Chicago and enjoying delicious desserts, we were able to come home with some new fashion pieces. 

 Here are a few pictures from our day. 

Hope you all enjoy!

XOXO,
