Steve Madden Leon Suede Bit Buckle … curated on LTK

AnneMarie-Baldgirlwilltravel

The Gucci Horsebit Ankle Boot is gorgeous, but at $1,320 it’s just not realistic for me. Luckily, Uncle Steve Madden came through with not one but TWO amazing dupes:

👢 The Leon Boot – $119
👢 The Presley Boot – currently on sale for $99 (and I’m loving it in olive suede!)

Both give you that chic loafer-meets-boot look, perfect with jeans, dress pants, or even skirts. Stylish, versatile, and fall/winter ready — without the Gucci price tag.

💛 Shop the original and the dupes right here in my LTK!

A cardigan is your casual day cheat code. Trust and believe you should always have a couple of these in your closet. It’s easy it’s breezy. It’s stylish.

I love these sneakers. I already have them in silver and pink, but I think these red ones might be my favorites. They are Puma Palermo’s. I highly recommend they are so freaking comfortable.
Grab a pair and thank me later

Loafers are the ultimate fall essential. Stylish, comfortable, and endlessly versatile, they look just as good with a sharp pantsuit as they do with jeans or slacks. The perfect transition shoe before the winter chill sets in — every woman should have a pair in her fall rotation.

These are my favorite sneakers for fall — proof that comfort doesn’t have to mean sacrificing style. I love that each pair works just as well beyond summer, making them perfect for everyday wear when the weather cools. If you’re looking for sneakers that do the job and keep your look chic, these are the ones I’d pick every time.

#LTKShoeCrush #LTKOver40 #LTKFallSale

These are the essentials every woman over 40 (and especially those of us over 50) should have in her fall closet—comfortable, versatile, and timeless.

And once you’ve got your essentials covered? Add a pair that makes a statement—whether that’s leopard, metallic, or a bold heel. Because style should always be fun and wearable.

✨ If you feel good in it, put it on!

Fall Essential: The Button-Down Shirt 🍂✨

One of my all-time staples is the button-down shirt — versatile, chic, and perfect for layering in fall.

In this video, I styled two of my favorites: a navy blue and a satin blend in chocolate brown. I love pairing them with wide-leg denim, suede boots, and a statement bag for a polished yet comfortable look.

All of these pieces (and similar ones if they’re no longer available) are linked for you to shop.

Sneakers don’t have to be boring, dowdy, or make you look older. In fact, they’re one of my favorite style cheat codes for women over 50. Comfortable and chic, they can anchor everything from denim to dresses.

I’ve rounded up my top favorite sneakers that I reach for again and again. These pairs prove you can stay stylish, comfortable, and age-defying all at once.

If you feel good in it, put it on!

The cardigan sweater is the unsung hero of every fall closet 🍂✨

Wear it buttoned up as a top, layered over a tank, or styled under your favorite blazer or statement coat — the options are endless. I paired mine here with my Spanx EveryWear Flare Jeans (a personal favorite!) and cardigans in my go-to colors: red, periwinkle, hunter green, black, emerald, and navy. I’m still on the hunt for the perfect chocolate brown 👀

💡 Style Tip: Don’t box your cardigan in as just a fall piece. Drape it over your shoulders in summer, tie it at the waist with shorts, or layer it for cozy winter days. Truly a year-round hero.

I’m head over heels for my We The Free Head Over Heels Jeans. The wide leg, the patchwork, the detail… I can’t stop wearing them!

For dinner tonight, I paired them with a navy tank tee (closet MVP), a chocolate brown suede moto jacket, a Madewell suede belt, and my Bottega Veneta Tex Mules in brown.

These jeans aren’t inexpensive, but they’re worth every penny — the cost per wear is already showing up. Everything is linked here in my LTK.

Free People x We The Free Lost and Found Boyfriend Jeans ($298) — almost sold out! Intricate and bold with pinstripes, patchwork, and red + green embroidery.

I styled them with a red J.Crew Factory cardigan, red Rag & Bone Chelsea boots, and a black Florian of London bag to balance all the color.

✨ Pro tip: Size up your cardigan if you want to layer.

#LTKOver40 #LTKStyleTip #LTKMidsize

These are the pieces I’ll be reaching for over and over again this season — blazers, crisp button-downs, tank tops, cardigans, statement denim, boots, jackets, accessories, jewelry, and of course, statement handbags.

I’ve linked everything I’m wearing (and similar pieces where items aren’t available) so you can recreate these looks for your own fall wardrobe. Style has no expiration date, and fall is the perfect time to show up chic and layered without overthinking it.

Trip thing about Dublin Ireland, but keeping it cute in a black blazer, white, button-down leggings, and runners

The Desigual Hybrid Jogger Jeans are my new fall staple 🍂
They give me the comfort of sweatpants with the style of denim, and I styled them three ways:

✨ Easy Breezy Errands (tank, belt, crossbody, sandals, sunnies)
✨ Brunch Chic (add a denim blazer + bold red lip)
✨ Moto Cool (swap for a moto jacket, remove the belt, add my limited edition Stuart Weitzman boots — no longer available)

Shop the joggers + the rest of my fall style picks 🖤

This emerald green maxi dress from Boohoo is one of the top three options I’m considering for a fall beach wedding.

I originally wore it to a group dinner in Egypt, and it’s back in rotation! It’s modest, comfortable, and absolutely stunning in person. The exact color is no longer available, but I’ve found a few similar styles in bold greens and elegant maxis.

🍂✨ Fall is the season for statement denim! ✨🍂

Sis, if you’re a woman over 40, denim is still for YOU. Jeans are timeless, forgiving, and when you pick the right pair, they’re instant statement-makers.

This fall I’m loving:
👖 Patchwork + embroidery details (Free People)
👖 Wide-leg classics (Zara)
👖 Relaxed jogger silhouettes (Zara + Desigual)
👖 Fitted bootcut flare (Spanx — my top pick for travel ✈️)

Some of these are true investment pieces (like my Free People faves at $298) and some are affordable staples — but all of them are chic, wearable, and perfect for fall layering.

💡 Travel tip: The Spanx flares and jogger styles (Zara + Desigual) are my go-tos when I’m on the move. Wear them in transit instead of packing them — you’ll save space and stay stylish.

Here’s one of the dresses I’m considering for a fall beach wedding. It’s the ZW COLLECTION Floral Print Dress from Zara—totally sold out, but I actually found mine on eBay in a size XL.

I love it because the high-low hem is beach-friendly, and it transitions easily from ceremony to reception. It’s the most low-key of my three dress options, but I’m leaning toward it because it’s effortless, pretty, and super comfortable.

The Sam Edelman Faux Tie Belt is one of my absolute favorite belts — I have it in both brown and black! It’s 100% leather, super chic, and perfect for the cinched waist looks we’ll be seeing everywhere this fall. Belt it over a blazer, a dress, or even a coat to create that elevated silhouette without spending a grip.

💸 Price check:
• Sam Edelman Belt: $60 at Nordstrom
• Found it for just $25 at Nordstrom Rack 🙌🏾
• Isabel Marant Lecce Belt: $250 (the original luxury version)

Why pay $250 when you can get the same vibe for $25–$60? This belt is definitely one of my faves and one of my most-worn accessories.

The Andrea Iyamah Ratu Dress is a total showstopper 💛✨ — chic, elegant, and perfect for a fall wedding guest look. It’s high on my list because it flatters just about everybody.

In my video, I styled it with:
👜 A limited edition Chanel ombré bag (orange + green)
💎 Sparkly brown + green ombré earrings
💍 A bold statement ring
👠 Brown satin open-toe mules (Zara, last season)

The dress comes in mustard yellow (shown here) and classic black — both timeless and fabulous.

Fall/Winter layering made simple 🍂🖤
Wearing my Marcy Funnel Neck Top from MarcellaNYC — a closet MVP for me in black and chestnut. Perfect on its own, layered, loose, or belted. Pair it with skinny jeans, skinny bootcut jeans, or even under a blazer for an instantly polished look.

✨ Fall’s Coziest Trend: Embellished Sweatshirts ✨
This season’s sweatshirts aren’t for the gym—they’re for making a statement. Think rhinestones, pearls, sequins, embroidery… I’ve been collecting embellished sweatshirts for years, so I’m thrilled they’re having a moment. They’re cozy enough for fall, but so elevated you’ll want to style them with jeans, skirts, or tailored pants—not sneakers for a workout.

💎 Here are some of my favorites for the season—perfect for staying chic and comfortable.

#LTKMidsize #LTKStyleTip #LTKOver40

I shared these in my Dupe of the Week and now that they’ve arrived, I can officially say I’m obsessed! 😍
These ASOS DESIGN super wide leg tie waist pants in pistachio are such a great alternative to the $628 Panty Pants from Fenoel — same vibe, way more budget-friendly.

They fit beautifully (I recommend sizing down if you’re in between sizes), and they pair perfectly with my Zara bomber from earlier this season.
