Hey there, babes. Happy Wednesday, and as always, reporting from Los Angeles. Here's just the first of my flashbacks from my whirlwind trip to New York City. I promise, I will share a run down of my first Fashion Week. But for now, let's talk some trends I am stoked about for the upcoming season.
One of staples when fall arrives are a solid pair of chunky black boots. Each year they have transformed- from a tomboy combat boots, a simplistic chelsea boot, and this year a chunky 60's inspired platform. I scored this boot at Zara (which always has surprisingly high quality shoes). When in NYC (and fashion week) it is essential to have a comfortable shoe. I walked 10+ miles each day, and these shoes made that possible. My other accessory of the moment is this 'captain hat' from H&M. I adore the vintage attitude it adds to any look. It's a little punky, and I love pairing it with a look that is ULTRA feminine.
This For Love & Lemons dress is the perfect transition for fall. I loved the moody colors, and butterfly lacelace appliqués. I added a mock turtleneck for the cooler evening temperatures. I always like to find juxtaposition in my style. This look has its girly and frilly textures. But it still has some type of edge- a bulky shoe, and dark color palette. I love to see how NYC influences my ideas around styling. Especially on the lower west side, my style gets a little more rock 'n roll and little funky. I spent a few evenings in this part of the city with friends. Drinking pints of beers, listening to jazz music at The Fat Cat, staying out way past a reasonable hour, waving cabs in the crisp night air back uptown. I am a little more rebellious on the east coast. And this energy, definitely, transcends into my style.
