Weather Wear: Fall Edition

As crisp air and warm drinks on menus have begun to dominate the world I live in, it's safe to say that it's Fall time and quite possibly my favorite season (I used to think Spring was my favorite...am I a changed woman?). I get so excited that dark colors pop up everywhere more frequently...I think I needed a break from the pastels/brights (even though as I'm writing this, I'm wearing a flourescent pink blouse with baby blue pants - but whatever!) There's something about this season that gets me inspired-  maybe bcause it reminds me of London weather, and I love it there. So, I created three sets of simple Fall outfits based on my style and you can check these babies out below.

Inspiration • Obsession: Mira Duma

Miroslava Duma, a 28 year-old former Harper's Bazaar Russia editor, free lance writer and founder of Buro 24/7 , is a fashion inspiration like no other. She has a beautiful son and that does not mean that she went out to buy herself a pair of "mom jeans" (not the good kind). Always an eye-popper at fashion weeks, she sports dynamic cuts, effortless prints and textures and has mastered 'casual chic'. A hard worker, brilliant style icon, part of the short girls club and she has fantastic hair - of course I'm obsessing! I'd take a walk in her Louboutin's, any day.

PS: My favorite twins, Tegan and Sara, have come out with their single 'Closer' from their new album. I love them so much and love the pop-y vibe. Enjoy the tune below!

In's & Out's No. 7

It's been a while since my last "In's & Out's", huh? Damn, I've been slacking but I've got some random ones in here that have been floating in my mind. Well, without much further ado:

The XX - Chained by SONAR BEAT

In's:

- Mixing metals. I used to be so wary about this but now I think it's fun and eclectic. It's nice to wear some gold and silver without them feeling like enemies
- Pineapple

- Messy top buns, but not too messy to the point that it is drooping on one side of your head. So easy, effortless and perfect for the summer, fall, winter and spring - or when you just don't feel like dealing with it at all

- NYFW
- The new XX album
- Laying in bed and reading September issues, sans any technology
- My baby nephew, Chase
- Mastering my everyday makeup routine in 7 minutes or less
- Hoodies and boots weather upon us!!!
- Travelling (always)

Out's:
- Making life a routine since I've started my career and feeling as if I can't make time
- Mushrooms (always an 'out')
- Buying on a whim - it's become a bad trend recently, and that's not the best of problems to have when you already have a shopping problem
- Insomnia
- Monogrammed LV purses
- Limiting your abilities because of what you think you have to do, instead of discovering new wonders; let fear go, and just do.
- Silly arguments
- Running out the house with your shirt inside out
