Simply Audree Kate

I don’t know about you, but September FLEW by for me. The month was jam-packed with fashion week, styling projects and lots and lots of clothing. I kicked of the month with prepping for New York Fashion Week with Alice + Olivia, and then spent the next couple of weeks working their show, running around to events and soaking in the NYFW madness. You can read my fashion week recap HERE. The day after the Alice + Olivia show, I styled a holiday shoot for Shoe-Inn, an upscale shoe boutique based in NYC.  After fashion week came to an end, I hosted a little house-warming party with my roommates at our new apartment, and dove back into work.

Other fun new updates—I am now the freelance fashion editor at StyleCaster.com, and you can go read all of my stories here! Also, before I headed to Arizona, I styled a mock-wedding elopement shoot and shot a TON of new SAK content!

Last week I headed to Arizona to visit family, host a handful of workshops and escape the city for a couple weeks. Make sure to check back in this week and I’ll sharing what’s coming up this month on Simply Audree Kate! xo

Friday Favorites: Fall Accessories

I hope you’ve all had an amazing week, I know I have! It feels so nice to be back in Arizona for a little bit. For today’s Friday Favorites I am going to be sharing five of my favorite fall accessories! As you all know by now, I love to accessorize and there is no better time than fall to whip out some new accessories—everything from blanket scarves, leather jackets, even a PSL or two. You can…

What I Wear to Work (As a Stylist)

Something that a majority of people might not mention about working in the fashion industry, well if you’re on the creative side, it’s a lot of schlepping around bags, trunks of clothing, heavy lifting and you’re running around on your feet all day. My “work” wear is pretty different than the outfits I post on the blog, or even on Instagram, so I thought it might be interesting to do a different…

How to Wear Your Summer Florals in Fall

Wait, florals in fall? Yes please! Florals are one of my favorite prints and I hate the idea of ditching them for half of the year—what’s the fun in that? On Friday I shared my favorite Fall Floral looks on the blog (HERE), and today I wanted to talk about transitioning your summer florals, and lighter color pieces to fall and winter. The main key is to pair them with dark colors! I paired this…

Happy First Day of Fall ya’ll! Fall for me means dark lipstick, strolling through Central Park, and unapologetically embracing all things pumpkin. I am so ready for layered dresses and leather jacket weather! For today’s Friday Favorite post, I put together a guide of my fall florals like floral kimonos, floral embroidery, and floral housecoats—florals aren’t just for spring! Scroll through my collection of favs, ‘Pin’ to re-create look this season and live out your fall fantasy. Pumpkin spice latte is optional.

Wear It Wednesday: 5 Ways to Style the Pajama Trend

Happy Wear It Wednesday! I missed the past couple of weeks of WIW tutorials due to fashion week, but I’m over the moon excited to share today’s styling tutorial with you!  The PJ/lingerie trend has been growing rapidly the past couple of years and I’m All.About.It. – I mean who doesn’t love being comfortable and basically wearing pajamas during the day? But let’s clear up one thing first – DO NOT…

20 Outfits to Wear to a Fall Wedding

It’s that time of year again – fall wedding season! I absolutely love fall weddings, and maybe it’s just because I’m a *Basic* girl who loves fall, but there’s just something about the season change that I love. Last year, my sister’s wedding was at the beginning of October and I wrote a short little fall wedding dress guide (READ HERE), so this year I wanted to re-create a similar post and share…

Oh hey there! Have you missed me? I knew fashion week is always a little crazy, but this New York Fashion Week kind of kicked my butt. Today is the first day I’ve had off to solely focus on SAK and my to-do list in almost a month; and it’s safe to say that I’m drowning in emails, blog posts and errands. I took a brief hiatus from the blog last week to focus on my other jobs, but I’m back, and ready to share all the juicy BTS details of New York Fashion Week with you!

In case you haven’t been following my Instagram, or don’t really know what I do – let’s do a recap. I am a freelance stylist, and I was very fortunate to be contracted with Alice + Olivia to help their styling team for a second season in a row. I absolutely love working with their team and have been working with A+O for almost a year now. In addition to styling, I just started as a Fashion Editor Consultant for StyleCaster.com; you can read my current stories HERE! So between all of that, styling for a couple other clients, and running SAK full time, I’m one busy lady! I luckily had Lauren, my summer intern, come back to NYC for fashion week to help me out with attending shows, events and everything in-between for SAK. Lauren and my NYC-based intern, Marleigh, attended shows and events for me every day, and that’s who was posting on my Insta story (I swear I wasn’t in two places at once haha).

To kick off fashion week, my blogger bestie, Madisen of Madisen on Madison and myself hosted a little pre-NYFW pamper party at Fabio Doti Salon in FiDi for a handful of our friends. We had complimentary blow-outs, spray tans by Tan in Ten and endless champagne. Once New York Fashion Week officially begun, things kicked into high gear. I was at A+O every day, attending events at night (some included Lulu’s, Free People and Vogue) and then writing articles before bed. It was a busy month, but I’m ready to catch up on life this week and get back into the swing of things. Take a look at my NYFW below and stay tuned this week for more posts! xo

  Here’s a look a couple of Lauren and Marleigh’s favorite shows they attended:

Fall Hair Color Guide

Hi guys! I have been questions about my hair recently – my recent hair posts (HERE, HERE and HERE) were pretty successful, so I wanted to share my favorite new fall hair color trends for fall. I see a lot of articles about haircuts, but not that many that talk about switching up your color for new seasons. There are some common trends to follow – go dark for winter and lighter for summer, but…

10 Ways to Get Back in the Swing of Things for Fall

Happy Monday! It is finally starting to feel like fall and I could not be more excited! It is officially time for pumpkins, turtlenecks, and dark lipstick. #Blessed. But to be completely honest with you all, I feel like I’ve just been treading water the past few weeks and I’m busy. busy. busy. And you know when you’re so busy or so exhausted that you can’t really get ahead or prepare for what’s…

What’s Coming to SAK This Month

Happy Labor Day folks! I’m spending the day catching up on some stuff before fashion week starts this week, and I wanted to try another new type of post this holiday weekend. Yesterday on the blog I did my first ICYMI post because I wanted to share some pictures that everyone who follows SAK might not see. If you’re subscribed or read the blog (thank you BTW!) you might not follow me on social…

In Case You Missed It. There are so many times that I take photos with the intention of uploading them on social media (remember the good ole’ days of Facebook albums) and either they sit in my phone camera album forever, or even if I do post on Instagram, I assume anyone and everyone will see it. But that isn’t the case – I know my dad doesn’t have social media, and possibly even a chunk of you…

I cannot believe that today is September 1st. Where has 2017 gone? I want it back! Even though this year is zooming by, I’m pretty excited for fall. I feel like my maximalist style thrives in fall. Bring on the layers, the chunky knits and oversized silhouettes, because your girl is ready for crisp air, the changing of leaves in Central Park and layers. Did I mention layers? Today I’m sharing over 25 fall looks to inspire you for the season change. It’s all about statement coats, long layers, oversized proportions and bold prints.

Make sure to follow my Pinterest page for daily pin-spiration, and tune in next week for the launch of my Fall Trend Guides during New York Fashion Week! Have a fantastic Labor Day Weekend! xo
