of...Nighttime Glam.

There is a certain art to planning the most chic, yet casual night outfit. If you're like me and you suffer from outfit ADD, choosing the perfect one can take hours. Flying hangers and overflowing drawers, mountains of discarded clothing to be folded up at a later date, and  "that looks fine!" exclamations from friends only adds to the frustration of this process. Every now and then, you have a brief moment of transcendence with the fashion gods and a vision comes to you; you enter your closet and know exactly what it is you want to wear. But for when the stars don't align and the fashion gods are busy attending to socialites and the like, you need to attain a look that is effortless, but put-together. To do this you need inspiration, and while I am no fashion god, I hope to provide that for you here:

of...Fur in Fall.

What better way to prepare for the frost and cold this fall than bundled up in beautiful fur?

Now, we're not talking about your conventional fur mink, however timeless that may be; we're talking about the unique fitted leather coats with billowing fur collars, the perfectly cropped jacket of purple dyed fur, and the ever-trendy fur vests of countless styles.

Here's how to rock it.

 And here's where to buy it:

of...Layering.

Every morning I have a general routine before I start getting dressed; wake up, shower, make coffee, and check weather.com. To my horror, this morning, an alert appeared on the screen in bold frightening red lettering: "FROST ADVISORY."

I'm sorry, what? 

It is only October 12th. Alas, I glumly entered my closet and thumbed through my clothing, hoping to find some sort of inspiration. And then, it came to me.

 Layering. 

I would be able to fight off this frost fashionably after all. Triumphantly, I pulled a cream oversized popcorn sweater  and long silk button down dress off their hangers. Slipping those on, I paired my favorite leggings underneath, grabbed some knee-high socks, and pulled on my Frye Leslie booties. To finish the look, I grabbed my black American Apparel circle scarf and whipped my hair up in a spunky ponytail. 

As I walked outside to catch the bus, I smiled to myself--I was incredibly warm and still fashionable.

into...Erdem Spring.

Hailing from London, born in Canada, designer Erdem Moralioglu debuted his line this past week at Manchester Gardens at London Fashion Week. Embodying the essence of Spring, models were adorned in light pastel blues, greens, and pinks perfectly complimented with silver snake skin, delicate lace, and netting. Chunky heels, futuristic eyewear, and splashes of bright mod-like flower patterning transformed Erdem's classic silhouettes into something subtly cutting edge and definitely chic. Styling the models with simple sleek buns and fresh natural-looking makeup, Erdem captured the crispness of Spring and focused the attention on the clothes themselves.
