Camel & Cream

My two favorite colors for fall are by far burgundy and camel, which is fortunate because they pair so nicely together. During the fall, I wear this skirt constantly – it’s a deep, purpleish-brown burgundy, which pairs with much more than I originally anticipated a year ago when I got it. Not to mention, it has nice, deep pockets (my favorite quality in a skirt) and it’s made from the the softest corduroy I’ve ever felt.

Some of my recent obsessions this fall have been lace and moto jackets, so you can imagine my elation when I found this one at Forever 21. The fact that the roomy sleeves don’t have a lining make it ideal for throwing over an outfit for some coverage, and the lacy cutouts can display a long sleeved shirt worn underneath.

Currently Obsessed With: Headbands

headbands

 

I’ve recently become infatuated with headbands, from simple bands to full-out hat hybrids. They bring an unexpected punch and dose of glamour to an outfit that a necklace or earrings just can’t. While I was looking around on one of my favorite online stores (here secured payday loans), I discovered that they have an incredible selection of hair toppers (although some from their bridal collection are a bit on the pricey side). I’ve now become inspired to start my own collection of headbands – here are a few I’m hoping to add to my stash.

1. Ruche Sabrina Fabric Bow Headband by Petit Plume $22.50

2. Ruche Kiana Swarovski Beaded Headband by Petit Plume $33.99

3. ban.do ban.do heart headband $35

4. Deepa Gurnami Emerald Stone Applique Headband $32

5. Forever 21 Pearlescent Chain Rosette Headwrap $3.80

6. Ruche Blushing Bride Headband $46.99

7. Ruche Cheerful Certainty Ivory Headband $46.99

8. Ruche Bristol Flower Lace Indie Headband by Petit Plume $16.99

Trend Spotting: Neo-Baroque

neo-baroque

This fall, neo-baroque is one of the reigning trends: richly embroidered clothing, beaded clutches and pill-box purses, delicate gilded filigree jewelry, gold-accented heels and slippers, brocade and floral everything – all in shades of black, gold, cream, silver and dark red. Most examples given in magazines are fresh off the runway, with the prices to match – so I found some baroque-inspired pieces, most of which are very affordable.

The Essential…

blazer

 

Blazer

Lately, I’ve been a bit obsessed with blazers and jackets, but I think I’ve found a winner. This blazer has it all – two nice, roomy pockets, a single button, and a sleek silhouette in a true, solid black. The fabric (a poly blend) is somehow light and warm at the same time. The classic cut allows it to pair with everything, from a t-shirt (like I did here secured payday loans) to a dress. The fact that the full-length sleeves can be rolled up to create a more casual look is an added bonus. A nice blazer is a year-round must-have, and this one fits the bill by my standards. And the price? A mere $24.95!

Double Denim

I used to think that wearing denim with denim was the ultimate fashion crime – but when the two washes are as different as these, it’s perfectly acceptable (and très chic). The white tank helps to break up the monochromatic color scheme.
