fall 2014 trends. knits.

fall trends are always bittersweet for me, because while i love (hearing) everyone's excitement over layering up, rocking leather, and wearing boots, we just don't have that kind of weather in hawaii. i'm not complaining, though...after all, i can rock a bikini in december. can you? haha, kidding.

one of my favorite things to wear, sweaters, is back this fall in oversized proportions. in muted colors from head to toe...cozy is in. to make them wearable in our warm weather, i'll be pairing mine with denim cut-offs and lightweight denim. how will you be rocking your sweaters this fall?

here are some of my favorite styles:

cowl neck / turtle neck

cardigan

slouchy

east vs west [coast] style. chunky knits.

welcome to the final week of the East vs West [Coast] Style collaboration. over the last four weeks, we showcased some of our favorite fall trends including leopard, leather, and booties. this time, we even had a chance to wear the same items, giving you the opportunity to see one item styled six ways. as always, it was interesting to see how location and lifestyle influenced style across the states. we're signing off with chunky knits from Lulu's, and these pretty necklaces from Libi & Lola.

i love sweaters, but the temps are still warm here during fall.

pairing them with shorts keeps things comfortable.
