tis sweater season

its inevitable. the air gets crisp. the wind blows and chills your bones. tis sweater season and i accept it. its like death or taxes...eventually one must wear a sweater if they live in a city such as New York. i hate sweaters. they are itchy and confining just like skinny jeans. you have to calculate the thickness of sweaters to match certain jackets and sometimes the thickness completely eliminates the chances of wearing certain jackets. *head explodes* atleast its still warm enough to just wear a sweater without a jacket...atleast for the next week or so.

this is one of my favorite bags from Zara. I love the studs and how deep it is. perfect for my DSLR and a light jacket if need be. sometimes things get lost in it though. i almost died when i couldn't find my old faithful Stila Fiery Lipstain one day and discovered it deep in the depths of this bag. i also get a lot of questions about these booties. they are still available here on Zara.com. They are also pretty comfortable as well. H&M also has an array of these sweaters in different colors for $25!

when i went on my Zara crazed shopping spree while in Barcelona i picked up one effing ahhhmazing jacket. this lovely cargo and leather jacket with gold hardware is my absolute Fall favorite. i will be wearing it with every and i mean everything in my wardrobe. including my Fall uniform which consist of a pencil skirt, a jacket and bootie. no need to be on the lookout for me wearing anything but a variation of that above uniform lol. hey when you find something that works...ride it until the wheels fall off.

i love the color of this skirt. its sooooo fantastic for fall and works almost as a neutral. the jacket...i can't get over it. leather and cargo the perfect balance of tough yet sexy.

a red lip goes a long way too even with a deeper toned skirt.

 

what do you think of the color combination?

Fall Favorites: booties

booties are the perfect shoe for Fall. i like that they show a little bit of ankle yet are still durable for cooler weather and keeping your feet warm.

i recently picked up two great pair from Zara and a pair of Via Spiga's from last year.

i will be rocking these until the snow hits.

Zara Black Booties, Zara Red Booties, Via Spiga Booties

 

every girl needs a black pair of booties. these from Zara are so fun. the shape is very flattering for those with big feet like me. i also love the double zippers and gold hardware. the red booties have become my absolute favorite. everywhere i go i get compliments on them and i think its the boldness and pop of the true red color that draws the eye. these via spiga's were bought last year from Nordstroms Rack and the toe tip and color is what sold me on these. they are also cut on a bias and fall below the ankle bone with is kinda hot. when you can't show too much skin because of cooler weather...guys will go crazy for an ankle lol.

 

what is your go to Fall shoe?
