Fall Trends Obsessions

i have two new obsessions....cargo jackets/vests and ox blood colored anything.

i admit i am very persuaded by the Fall trends. i can't help myself. after flipping through September and October issues of Elle, Marie Claire, Lucky and Glamour, all i crave is deep burgundys and reds in my wardrobe. i foresee that my Fall and Winter will be full of blacks, greys and reds with pops of mint, forest green and whites. i snatched up this awesome French Connection Jacket from Loehmanns. When I saw it i knew immediately that it can be paired with skinny jeans, pencils skirts and just about anything else I have. its best to invest in pieces that can be worn with anything and that you know you will wear on a regular basis.

GET THE LOOK

im so sad that summer is over but i finally get to wear all my favorite boots and jackets which makes me happy. this is another spin on my Fall Uniform which consist of a jacket and skirt like this post from last week. its also a similar color concept. i really have to force myself not to buy any more burgundy and red pieces. lol.
ps...im seriously considering cutting my hair again...like this or this.
UPDATE: i actually bought these fabiana's thanks to a reader alerting me to the sale at TheOutnet.com.
YAY!

 

what gets you to move in on a trend?

happy hour

so last but not least is the after work get together with the What to Wear Series. You can backtrack and see what to wear for a night out, what to wear on a date night,

and what to wear for a day date.

there are sooo many happy hours in NYC. the perfect place to meet up with your girls for an afterwork drink or with your beau or to meet someone new..who has a job!

so of course the after work get togethers are a little more put together but with a change from your daily flats into some stunning furry pumps...and you've got an outfit!

Top: Forever 21 | Skirt: Zara | Shoes: Gianvito Rossi | Bag: c/o Rebecca Minkoff Romeo

Necklace: Light Years

SHOP THE LOOK

i got this skirt during the awesome sale that was going on at Zara. i love the shape and the print of it. its very tribal chic! i paired it with one of my favorite forever 21 button ups that i wear religiously. see it worn diffrently here. the furry shoe really sets off the outfit along with one of my favorite

"hold my life inside it" bags from Rebecca Minkoff.

what i love most about this outfit is the mixture of textures and patterns with the bag the shoes and the skirt.

this is definitely a good look for that awesome happy hour just waiting for you to attend!

Ways to Wear It: Part I

 

Outfit

Blazer: BB Dakota via Loehmanns

Top: Forever 21

Skirt: Zara see it here with my other Zara finds 

Shoes: BCBGeneration

Necklace: Aldo see more of my statement necklaces HERE!!!!

I am all about stripes so when I came across this lovely pencil skirt at Zara I got it quick. The material is so soft and stretchy and comfortable. I instantly knew I wanted to pair it with my

favorite shirt from Forever 21.

I wear this shirt all the time. I really love the color and the feel of it. I don't know what I'm going to do when it starts to fall apart. LOL. For a finishing touch I popped on my new statement necklace from ALDO. They have great accessories this season. I had been craving a white necklace for the longest and this one spoke to me. It can make any outfit, even jeans and a t-shirt instantly glamourous.

Of course I wore this shirt with another outfit that I will post tomorrow...and I want you all to tell me which way you like it best.

In other news I'm so so happy NYC finally has summer like weather. It was scorching hot when I took these photos last week. I look forward to picnics in Central Park and walking along tiny streets in the East Village and discovering new stores. I love New York in the Spring and Summer.

It's the perfect place to be a women who loves fashion but it's not a great place for dating.

Good thing New York City is my boyfriend...along with Loehmann's and Nordtrom's Rack!

What are you looking forward to doing in your area this Summer?
