Back to Fall with Lilikoi!

Let’s face it. We live inSouthern California and for that, we are pretty darn lucky. As we all well know, one of the most amazing things about living here is the three perfect months that we call summer. The fact is, that as a SoCal Woman, our wardrobes can consist of 5 key pieces – a cute tank, a pair of cut offs, your favorite skimpy sundress, a bikini top, and a bikini bottom.

  However great as this may be, it also makes the foreboding transition into fall a bit of a shock. After 3 months of wearing nothing but clothing designed specifically to make you look great on the beach, the prospect of actually going into your closet and trying to put together that perfect, memorable “first day of school” outfit is slightly intimidating. As you contemplate the practicality of wearing pea coats in 85 degree heat, memories from years past of choosing the best outfit from all of your freshly purchased wardrobe come flooding back. All this anxiety from what started as a simple attempt to redefine and reinvent yourself for the new school year to come…

 Yeah. We get it. It’s a lot of pressure.

 This is why the style savvy ladies of Lilikoi Boutique are giving you, our beloved Beach Bunnies, your own personal back-to-fall play by play. Here, we present to you what’s hot (think updated preppy classics circa The Dead Poets Society, Cher Horowitz’s chic pleats, and Molly Ringwald’s fabulous belted skirt & boot combo in the Breakfast Club) while guiding you away from what really, truly is not (now go ahead and think Drew Barrymore circa Never Been Kissed).

 Featured here in our Back to Fall Spectacular are 14 different looks that will leave you walking down the hall feeling confidant and looking fabulous. Take it from us – if you walk into a classroom decked out in faux feathers and synthetics, you will be dubbed 2011’s “Josie Grossie.” So we suggest that instead of giving yourself a minor panic attack while trying to figure out what not to wear, strut on over to Lilikoi for the next two weeks and enjoy 20% off all of the pieces featured here in our Back to School glam guide as our talented in-house-stylists help you define “Fall” for yourself.
