Blustery Day in Faux Fox Fur Coat and Vintage Savannah Cocktail Ring
It doesn’t get super cold in Savannah very often, so when it does I make sure to have as much fun as possible. This vintage faux fox fur coat is an absolute favorite.
You might be thinking - I could never do a fur coat (faux or otherwise) - but you can! Anyone can! Statement pieces like these are fun - and that’s the key. Having fun.
But you also need to feel confident.
So here’s the secret.
When it comes to statement pieces, like this faux fur coat and vintage cocktail ring, it’s best to keep the rest of the outfit tailored and simple.
A good outfit is a balanced outfit - so the bigger the statement your accessories make, the more understated the core of your outfit should be.
Here, I opted for medium wash Banana Republic jeans, a black silk cashmere sweater - also by Banana Republic - and simple black leather pumps.

There’s something so romantic about vintage jewelry. I love browsing colorful pieces in antique shops, imagining the women who wore them - what their stories were. (Here’s a list of some of my very favorite Savannah antique stores.)
My father actually found this particular vintage ring while browsing with me at The Jewelry Consignment Network on Historic Savannah’s Bull Street. (The shop actually sits just a few steps from Collins Quarter Cafe’s walk-up coffee bar window, so I always make it a habit to grab a turmeric latte or lavender mocha before starting my browsing adventure.)
As soon as my dad pointed the ring out to me - I knew I had to have it.
It’s so fun to own a piece that I know is wonderfully unique!

When it comes to an outfit for a morning shopping trip on Broughton Street, I’m always looking for a fun balance between comfort and style. These Spanx leather moto leggings, basic white tee, rose suede duster, and pumps were the perfect combination.

When I saw this Bordeaux satin top at Fabrik’ here in Savannah, I knew right away I had to have it. It’s just different enough without falling into any sort of “trend” category. On the contrary, the balloon sleeves and tapered button wrists are decidedly vintage - in the best possible way.
This smart, sophisticated piece is literally bringing all the fabulous fall vibes for me right now.
The little bow at the neckline on this Gal Meets Glam dress is such a sweet detail - and I really do love the pleating in the skirt. There is SO much fabric, ya’ll.
This dress feels nothing but luxurious.
I give you this Ali & Jay romper. I walked into Harper Boutique in downtown Savannah the other day, and I just knew. We were made for each other.
There’s something magical about Savannah - you don’t have to spend much time before that becomes really clear. The Spanish moss, the centuries-old oak trees, antebellum mansions, cobblestone paths, vibrant gardens, the scent of jasmine on the air. It makes a girl want to dress up a little. :)
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times, y’all. When it comes to a killer wardrobe simplicity and classic lines are key. Pair that principle with a good old black and white pallet, and you’ve got yourself a timeless outfit.
The trouble with Autumn in Savannah is that it doesn’t actually seem to arrive until well into October, hopefully in time for Halloween. All of that to say, it stays warm here. Pretty much all year. And the summer-to-fall wardrobe transition can be especially hard to navigate.
I’m always on the hunt for a classic day dress that will take me from brunch, to lunch meetings, and maybe even early cocktails.

Savannah changes after dark.
The heat softens. The crowds thin. The historic district grows quieter — and more atmospheric. For many visitors, nighttime ends with dinner or drinks, but locals know that Savannah’s evenings offer far more.
