A Taste of Fall

A Taste of Fall

Fall's official kickoff is the moment you can reach into your closet for that transition

piece that turns any look into a Fall one.

For me that piece is this olive green duster coat. It transformed this simple all black look into a put together Fall ensemble.

Olive green is a great neutral

 in terms of layering. 

It stands our in the subtlest of ways.

Back to School | Classic

Back to School | Classic

It's official back to school season has begun. As hard as it maybe to say goodbye

 to summer's carefree attitude and style 

it's always fun to plan out your 

back to school outfit.

I actually wore this on my third day of classes. 

The look is sophisticated but causal. 

Perfect for making a good impression 

as you get around campus. 

At the beginning of my day I had a denim jacket on to dress it down a little while 

keeping with the classic theme to the look.

(But it was just too hot for that!)

My prized wine colored oxfords added a nice dose of color without being too loud.

Trend Talk \ Lace Up

Trend Talk \ Lace Up

Yes, I am aware that the lace up trend is not a new one. It has been around for a bit BUT I had a moment of appreciation for it the other day and wanted to share. Hence the new post category "Trend Talk"... I'm thinking it might be a new thing for the blog!

Now as fun as trends can be, your personal style should come before the latest trend. This was something that I struggled with and have tried to be aware of.

Only chasing trends when they can add to my style.

This moment of fashion appreciation, that I'm

sure many of you have also experienced, came while scrolling through my Insta feed. 

A friend posted an ootd. A camel colored 

tank top with a lace up neck line and print 

parachute pants. It was a great pairing, I fell in love and couldn't stop thinking about lace ups.

They add a laid back feel but are also the epitome of edgy. And now pretty much everything can be seen with

lace ups! Whether its 70's inspired blouses and suede skirts or rock & roll black shorts and jeans. Or even a fun romper!

I am in love with this romper its flirty and reminds
 me of something Dolce & Gabbana might create!

Hope you enjoyed this post <3

Another outfit centered around my shoes.

 I got these boots as a gift!

The fringe on the boots were just 

begging to be worn with western style.

However the blue calls for a more

modern take on that.

(I've been loving the tucked hair into jacket look
 so much this season!)

Casual Oxfords

Casual Oxfords

I managed to score these vampy wine

 hued oxfords during a great sale

 at Lord and Taylor's

...and I am definitely obsessed!

For a casual look I paired the shoes 

with some blue jeans and a sweater. 

I kept the colors neutral to help 

the shoes and fuzzy purse charm pop.

P.S. the shoes did gave me a horrible blister and shooting this post was so painful :( but they are worth the pain!
