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.

Helmut Lang Fall RTW 2012

Jil Sander Fall RTW 2012

Top trend this fall: oversized silhouettes. From trench coats to knit sweaters, oversized hats to ballooning gowns, this trend has no boundaries...literally. Designers have created fantastically dramatic shapes that seem to simultaneously juxtapose & compliment the slender feminine physique. How can you pull it off? Pair a chunky cape jacket with slender trousers or skinny jeans...perfectly balanced proportions!

of...a Western Fall.

The transition of hazy summer days into crisp autumn nights has begun. We find ourselves debating what to do during these few transitional weeks; we are fully aware it is just too cool to wear our summer sandals (and frankly, quite tired of them at this point) and we are avoiding to break out the winter boot (because such an action would be admitting winter is upon us...) so what to do? what to wear?

I introduce, The Western Boot. Pair it with shorts, skirts, jeans, jackets, blouses, twill pants...the list is endless, the style is effortless, the boot is exactly what you want and need this fall.


1. Sam Edelman "Louie" Booties $160
2. Paul Green 'Mason' Boot $328
3. Lucky Brand Moto Booties - Butler $149
4. Frye 'Deborah' Boot $527
