Leather is absolutely one of my favorite fabrics. 

It can add that perfect edge and sophistication to my outfits.

Plus, since it's so versatile, it's easy to dress pieces up or down. 

This leather peplum top is definitely a favorite in my closet and I jump at any chance I get to wear it out.

Less Is More

Necklace: Vintage / Top: Primark / Trousers: Goodwill / Shoes: Manolo Blahnik   

I love simple outfits that still manage to make a punch.

As I've grown, the 'Less Is More' mentality has become a cornerstone to my personal style.

That's definitely what I was going for here and I have to say I felt fabulous.

Wardrobe Wishlist: Winter Edition

Winter is in full swing, something Mother Nature won't let us easily forget. While I am fonder of above freezing temps, I do enjoy the challenge the winter chill brings with keeping up my style while wearing weather sensible clothing. I also love scouting out inspiration for pieces I would happily welcome into my eternally evolving wardrobe. 

1. Pale Blue Statement Coat (Zara)

2. Strappy Pumps (L.A.M.B.)

3. Leather Pencil Skirt (Miss Selfridge)

4. Black Midi Dress (TopShop)

5. Oversized Statement Clutch (ELA)

6. Faux Fur Scarf

I got the chance to spend 5 days in Paris a few weeks back and 

one thing I absolutely loved about the city (the list is endless honestly) was the street art everywhere.

So I figured, "Why not snap some outfit pics in front of some?"

This was my travel outfit for the first day and was super comfortable but still made me feel chic enough for Parisian streets.

A lot of the pieces came from H&M, which I don't usually don't frequent often in the states but the selection in UK stores is so much more appealing to me here than back in the states.

À bientôt!

Fall Finds

Fall is one of my favorite seasons, in terms of fashion and weather. 

Every year I search for those perfect pieces that will enhance my fall wardrobe. 

I figured I'd post a few of my finds so far and continue building on it as the season progresses.

I remember seeing a wide brimmed hat on a blog (most likely Refinery29)  sometime during the summer

and I knew instantly that I wanted this to be apart of my fall wardrobe. 

I found this one at an H&M in London and absolutely love it!

It adds the right amount of edge and mystery to my outfits.

**Sorry about the poor quality. It was really hard to find a spot that could hold my hat with decent lighting**

 

Another great find was this ring from the Portobello Road Market in London. 

It reminded me a lot of the YSL 'Arty' ring and I the deep red stone is perfect for fall. 

Even better is I managed to haggle the price down from £20 to £11!

 

I knew my fall wardrobe wouldn't be complete without the perfect pair of black booties.

For me? These are it. 

I snagged these at H&M and I have been more than satisfied.

They're not only one of my favorite color combinations but quite comfortable too. 

Hope you enjoyed!

I'll be posting more 'Fall Finds' throughout the season so stay tuned!!
