Pumpkin Spice

H and M sweater, [similar faux leather shorts], GUESS Dandra boots, Rebecca Minkoff bag, Kenneth Cole earrings [similar], Prada sunglasses

October is the very only month in the entire year that I will wear orange and black together. It just screams Halloween! But there is something about this beautiful glowing orange sweater that I just couldn't resist and I am excited to wear this sweater with denim later on during the winter months.

I've started wearing earrings for the first time in years. This is not because I suddenly got my ears pierced or I found a special metal/metal coating. (I got my ears pierced around 15 years ago and they have never closed. As for anything that goes through the piercing, my ear simply cannot stand it.) It is because I finally realized I can just buy any earrings that catch my eye and then convert them into clip-ons! It's pretty easy and all you need are needle nose pliers, epoxy 330 glue, foam, toothpicks, clip-ons and earrings.

As for these boots, I did think they looked better on my sister who has wider legs which filled out the boot better. Regardless, I really like how the heel is at a comfortable height and they do stay up like a proper thigh boot should.

Office-Ready

Sheinside blazer, White House/Black Market leopard shirt and earrings, Francescas pants [similar], Prada Saffiano Lux bag, Steve Madden heels [similar] A little office ready inspiration for Monday :) Seriously in love with my new silk leopard blouse and earrings from my first White House/Black Market mini haul. I think it is part of their newest collection. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!


Sarena

BB Dakota faux fur vest, HM top and denim, Amrita Singh necklace, Ivanka Trump Sarena boots, Coach bag [similar] I felt like going for a cozy look since I planned to be out in the evening. My statement necklace by Amrita Singh really steals the show but of course the faux fur and suede OTK (over the knee) boots pull it all together. In fact, faux fur vests are so versatile that I've probably been wearing this one (off the blog) a little too much. But that is most definitely a good thing :).


Fall Elements

Finally, a fall look. And unfortunately, still no fall weather. As you can probably tell I walked in circles to shoot this so you could really see a lot more angles than we typically go for :) I personally love the color combo but more than anything it's the cut that matters here.

These booties add a lot of edginess while the skirt keeps it feminine and the shirt gives a cozy feel. (It is actually the coziest shirt I have ever felt.) I brought along a tweed jacket too but it is still not cold enough for that! By the way — the Naturebox giveaway is ending tonight and GUESS.com is giving away a week's worth of shoes.

PASTELS IN FALL

Pink Coat (obsessed!- runs big wearing size XS - also loving this one) // Powder Blue Sweater (similar blue sweater here & in love with this cable-knit one) // Forever 21 Denim (old similar here) // Pink Patent Heels
ACCESSORIES.
Blue Bag // Gold Chain Watch // Sunglasses // Gold Rings (40% off code: SERIOUS40)

The soft pink tones of spring and summer have now made their way into fall and winter. but designers have strayed from the typical jewel-toned and neutral palettes that used to dominate fall fashion by incorporating soft tones into their collections. By taking a few cues from their designs, we can flawlessly rock these soft, feminine colors year-round.

o   Transforming with texture: Bring your fall look together by incorporating thicker textures into your ensemble. This season is full of great pastel pieces in heavier fabrics, like this coat. To fuse a fall-vibe into softer shades with a lighter material, pair with heavier knits or other textures typical of fall. Incorporating a fall nail color is another great way to give your look an autumn feel.
o   Neutrals are always in season: You can never go wrong by pairing a pastel with a neutral. Consider staples, like nudes, camels, greys and blacks. For advanced styling, mix popular jewel tones into your outfit or bring soft tones into fall from head to toe by rocking a monochromatic look.

I love the classic color combination of navy, cognac, and gold. Something about the combo seems timeless and sophisticated.  I've been anxious to get a poncho for Fall. I was immediately drawn to the detailing on this one with the faux leather pockets and gold zippers on the side.

Neutral Work Wardrobe

I've had a lot of meetings the last couple weeks at my other job, so it has been a more dressy couple weeks than usual. I like to add a subtle color against the typical white, black, and navy work ensemble. These pencil skirtsare an easy way to add that detail (see the neon pink one I wore ).

I'm so excited about these white embossed pumps. I've been looking for a white pump that has a little more shizam, and the subtle texture on these is perfect. I've found one of the keys to wearing multiple pieces of white is mixing textures.
