Earlier this year, supermodel Claudia Schiffer paid homage to the late Karl Lagerfeld in an all-black Chanel ensemble. It's an outfit Karl would have loved since his signature look was monochromatic and sophisticated. We're loving how Claudia lightened up the outfit with metallic accents and a chunky Chanel statement necklace. Her fabulous black and white Chanel bag is hard to imitate on a budget, but it's the black and white print we're taking note of - and this darling gingham satchel is a great budget stand-in!

With fall just two days away, I thought I'd round up some easy transitional outfit ideas that I featured this past week on Instagram. Feel free to pin your favorites for inspiration!

Now that we're a family of five, it's becoming more necessary than ever to shop smart and spend wisely! Here are some of the new ways I'm saving money right now on everything from organic produce to the latest fashion trends.

Who doesn't love a comfy pair of slippers on a chilly morning, especially when they look just like Uggs? I just purchased these faux shearling slide slippers and they are so cute and soft.

Here's a fun look for less that I've seen around the 'gram: It's a linen tote with a graphic phrase that's under $40 on Amazon (the source for all the dupes lately). Compared to the Saint Laurent logo tote, it's such a steal! This is the perfect summer/vacay bag that's also great for travel or the farmer's market (or an Aldi run!) year-round.
