Leather Skirt & Button Down via TJ Maxx | Denim Jacket: French Connection | Clutch: Antik Batik (similar here) | Bracelets: Hermes & CCSkye | Shoes: Christian Louboutin Pigalle Plato | Nails: Deborah Lippman It’s Raining Men | Lipstick: Estee Lauder Mirrored Orchid 

As a TJ Maxx Style Scout and in celebration of fall fashion, I’m excited to be hosting an exclusive event with some of my blogger friends – Keiko Lynn, My Style Pill & Be Chic Mag – on Thursday, September 12th from 9 to 11 am. The best part…I’ll be hosting a giveaway for a chance for five readers to attend an exclusive event with us. The event will be filled with talking about fall fashion, discussing what trends you are most excited to wear this season as well as perusing around the store to check out all of the designer fall fashion. Winners will also be gifted a $100 TJ Maxx giftcard so you can go home with some of your favorite fall finds and also provided with transportation to and from the event*


To enter
1) Please share what fall trend you’re most excited to embrace this season and you feel best expresses your personal style! For me this fall, I love all the leather and layering, like this designer skirt I picked up at TJ Maxx. The rich wine color of this leather skirt is the prefect fall addition to my wardrobe – I can wear it with a cozy layered look during the day and dress it up for a night on the town.

2) Comment on  the below post, or on twitter, facebook or instagram by tagging @BrooklynBlonde and @TJ Maxx with the hashtag #MaxxStyleScout. I will be choosing five winners, which will be announced on Tuesday, September 10th.


*Disclaimer: Submit entry on multiple channels for additional opportunities to wiin. To be eligbile to win, readers must live within a 2-hour driving radius of Manhattan and be available on Thursday, September 12, 2013.

    I can't wait for the pattern stockings and colorful tights! Perfect under skirts and shorts with a chunky sweater and booties. I look forward to the return of dark colors like oxblood, chinchilly grey and royal blues/purples.

    Hey Helena! Love this post, I live right near that mural (recently painted by Shepard Fairey for the Dumbo Walls exhibit for the Wooster Collective 10th Anniversary) and the photos looks fantastic with the wine leather skirt! My favorite trends for fall are of course, leather, and embellishments! I just bought a leather skirt, much like the one you are wearing – only no pleats, and black – and I can't wait to pair it with a simple tee and embellished collar necklace. Or embellished booties! With big gems and statement pieces, the possibilities are endless!
    I would love the opportunity to win the TJ Maxx Style Scout giveaway! Attending the event next week would be a dream! Cheers!
    PS – You should go back and check out the other two murals that were recently finished under the BQE right next to the Obey Lotus Woman. They both say "yes" and are incredible. Totally think you would love.

  • geraldine

    Great post as usual. There are many trends that I am looking forward to this fall season especially being that fall in NY is like no other. One trend I really love and I am excited about is plaid. I love the fact that it can be dressed up or down and it can be quite chic depending on how it is worn. It gives me a great incentive to go back into my closet and dig up old plaid tops from the past or go thrifting for new ones. 🙂 @BrooklynBlonde @TJMaxx #MaxxStyleScout

    This will be my third fall living in NYC after moving from sunny South Florida, so I've been learning to invest in classic and practical wardrobe pieces like the #motorcyclejacket. I'm excited for throwing my moto jackets over skirts and dresses to make for an easy transition from summer to fall. I also love the cool pairing of these jackets with a basic tee and ripped jeans. Here's one of my faves I scored from a @zarausa sale last season! @brooklynblonde1 @keikolynn @mystylepill @tjmaxx #MaxxStyleScout #iheartTJMaxx #fallfashion #maxxinista

    Your posts are amazing! Your whole outfit is perfect. Those nude heels are a must have. I absolutely love them. They remind me of some Chinese Laundry wedge heels from http://www.shoedaca.com that I purchased a few months ago. They have a 10% off your entire purchase which is awesome. [Code:KEEP10]

  • Christina Kas

    So obsessed with this outfit I'm really speechless that both the top and skirt are from TJ Maxx, will be needing to give it a visit soon. I forget what gems they have

    This outfit is perfection! To dress it down you could throw on some olive green high waist pants and Bearpaw Paw's Hanna moccasins with a scarf! It would be great for a night out to the movies! I got my Bearpaw Hanna moccasins from http://www.shoedaca.com! They have some really cute stuff on there!
