The long awaited return has arrived...

It's been two years since my last post and I'm ready to start again.  Call it fall fever if you will, but there is something about the seasons changing that brings out all the best and most exciting clothes.  While walking home from an extra intense work out session a relaxing machine pilates class, I stopped into my favorite boutique, Gramercy Project and took some pictures of my favorite fall finds.  How's that for alliteration??

 

(Sweater by ARO, Necklace by La Raffinerie) I would wear black skinny jeans and short black boots with this sweater.  Think combat boots/Jeffrey Campbell-esque style.  Since the sweater is a little see-thru and rough looking, add a feminine lacy bra under to contrast the look.  The necklace is phenomenal and it was actually hard for me to resist not adding it to every outfit! 

 

(Dress by Dolce Vita) Animal print is one of the biggest things this fall, and this dress couldn't be any more perfect.  The key thing to remember with animal print is that everything else you're accessorizing with needs to be solid and secondary to the dress.  I'd do all black leather.  1.) Small black leather fringe bag.  2) Black ballet flats (only if simple and have NO tacky embellishments-I despise most ballet flats) or a harder short cowboy boot. 3) Some gold jewelry on the wrists and neck!

 (Blouse by Mink Pink) Winter white is one of my favorite trends this season.  It's fresh, clean, and most importantly, not black.  I would wear this tucked in with high-waisted flared jeans.  Billow it out of the waist to show off the jeans and accentuate your curves!  Go with either a light: Pastel Pink or Beige, or extremely bright heel: Turquoise, Purple, or Cheetah Print.
