Fun Fall Activity

With fall fast approaching, there's a slew of fun fall activities to enjoy, along with some much needed cooler weather. A visit to an apple orchard is a great day trip. At many orchards, sample homemade goodies like caramel apples, apple cider, apple pie, apple donuts, and anything you can dream up with apples...yummy!

Check out this nifty site http://www.allaboutapples.com/orchard/ to find an orchard near you.

Pack a car full of your girlfriends or take a romantic drive with the boyfriend or hubby for an easy, fun getaway. Pump up some tunes, enjoy the drive, and stuff yourself as full of fresh apples and apple treats as possible.

Bonus: find an orchard with the oh-so-delicious and more difficult to find honeycrisp apples. If you haven't had a honeycrisp, you are missing out on the tastiest apples in existence.

Behind the scenes of Kate Boggiano...Meet Amy!

In fashion, so much of the work occurs behind the scenes, like a movie, where only the finished product receives recognition and notice.. Long hours, late nights, weekends, all working towards the finished product while keeping all aspects of the business running smoothly.

Amy, Assistant Designer/Production and Accounting Associate, is responsible for a lot of the behind the scenes work here at Kate Boggiano (as evident by her multiple titles).

Here's an inside look at Amy's day-to-day responsibilities as well as her KBO favorites!

What's your job like on a daily basis?
Checking in garments from the factory, preparing production, accounting tasks, some customer service, ship customer orders, help Kate with anything, and whatever else comes up. (phew what a mouthful)

Favorite trend for Fall?
Ruffles (of course) :)

Favorite KBO piece right now?
Maggie jacket

Where would you wear the Maggie?

On a Fall outing like an apple orchard or pumpkin patch.


Fun Amy fact: She just got married two weeks ago, amidst shipping crazy fall orders. Congrats Amy!

KBO's September Loves

Ah...September, a month of transition from flowy sundresses and sandals to cozy sweaters and boots.

These are our 4 Loves to carry you through September and onward through fall and winter.

1. A Wear Everywhere Jacket: Throw this on over a summer dress, over shorts, with jeans, to the office, etc. You'll wear this jacket to death, so don't be afraid to splurge.
We love Maggie in tweed or black. Ruffles + vegan leather piping + cropped silhouette = the recipe for the perfect jacket.




















2. An awesome pair of boots: Perfect to wear in September with a simple dress and sweater. Peruse the sale section of endless.com for hours of entertainment and some really great finds.

3. A go-to belt: Perfect for cinching sweaters and knit dresses to show off your shape!
This belt from KBO has a stretchy back for comfort.
















4. Black Leggings: A great pair of black leggings is a wardrobe necessity. Wear them now with cute ballet flats and a great tunic like the Natalie for an instant polished look. Accessorize with an interesting necklace for personal flair.
KBO's designer leggings are one-size, super stretchy, comfy, and won't sag at the knees.
