Sweater Weather

As the season begins to change and the weather morphs from hot to slightly chilly I rely on my innate layering skills to get me through the day! In an effort to celebrate the orange tones of fall (an eventually pumpkins) I decided to sport orange pants today!

I love the layered collar look! I matched a sleeveless chambray with a netted brown and cream sweater with a gold necklace! The necklace looks like leafs connecting (which totally supports the change in season and leafs falling)!

I have had these oxfords for over 5 years and I love who broken in they are! Perfect men's wear inspired piece.

 

How do you celebrate the coming fall weather? What's your favorite way to layer?

Insta Updates

I apologize for the lack I updates these last few days! I have just been on a whirlwind transitioning from one job to another! I wanted to share some insta pics with you guys! 

Fall is just around the corner which means leafs falling, warm roasted tomatoe soup, boots and lots of layering!

Must-Have Mondays

Must Have Mondays:

Ladies and gentlemen (drumroll please)...I have finally found a pair of VC Signature loafers (exclusive to Nordstrom) that I can not live without-- and they are on SALE!

I have a special place in my heart for loafers! I have a hard time finding flats that are well supported, good quality, comfortable and most of all cute! Since I am on a new "all black everything" kick I am even more devoted to finding a few flats that add some extra color or depth to my outfit.

Some other lovely VC Signature flats are:

Back To Black

Its official I am jumping on the black bandwagon! I have long distanced myself from the ominous color for fear of falling victim to its ability to steal one's love of other colors. In my opinion black is chic, but all too often people rely on the color like a crutch for their own unimaginative style. Black seemed unoriginal and lack innovation..or so I thought...

I recently started contemplating my look for this upcoming fall and winter and all I could think was black on black on black attack! I decided I want to stick to simple silhouettes with layers of black intermingled with neutrals including olive green, navy and charcoal to create a simple yet comprehensive look. Imagine tomboy chic with a hint of leather.

Now just because I'm going black does not mean that I will turn into a black shapeless blob! I am going to consciously work on layering a variety of textures and add hints of color through details, accessories and make-up. 

These ladies know better than anyone how to rock monochromatic black outfits!

If you are going to only wear one color be sure to play with shapes, textures and tailoring.

Everyone needs a LDB...

I love the idea of mixing coated denim with linen shirts, silk blouses, wool blazers. To break up the color and be true to myself I will probably break up the color with a patterned belt or colorful scarf.

How do you wear your black? Are you a fan of the black band wagon or not? 

I Really Love My...Sam Edelman "Trina' Sandals

This week "I Really Love My..." is all about my favorite Sam Edelman "Trina" sandals! I love these sandals so much that I have to pairs in two different colors! I have one pair in cognac and the other in red! 

These were my trusty sandals throughout my European trip because they are comfortable, classic and have a tiny heel that was easily dressed up or dressed down depending on the day's activities. 

If you love these shoes as much as me check them out at Piperlime, Amazon or Zappos!

 What is your favorite piece in your closet that you constantly wear? 

Toodles!
