Adorn Your Collar

At the beginning of the summer, while strolling through Forever 21, I spotted a rhinestone collar necklace. Four months later, it has become my most worn piece of jewelry. The most chic way to wear this piece is layered under a buttoned-up collared shirt. These necklaces add instant detail and dimension to any outfit.

Faux Leather VS Real Leather

Ever since the first hint of the fall season I have been doing my research on leather pants (a staple for this season). The major question for me was: do I buy the real deal or go down the faux route? I did my research and heard many convincing arguments from both sides. Faux leather is inexpensive, animal friendly and, if in the end you decide leather pants are not for you, not a big loss. On the other hand, real leather feels amazing and looks much richer. The cons for real leather are that leather can stretch and lose its shape, you need to bring them to a specialty cleaner and they cost a fortune! In the end I chose a pair of faux leather pants from H&M, and to be honest, I think they are just as good as any real pair I have tried on (plus they can be washed in the washer)!

Mix Your Prints!

Mixing different prints is one of my favorite ways to add a little spice to my outfits. Sometimes it seems as if people are conditioned to think that print mixing is a fashion don't. It’s a huge fashion do! It can be a bit tricky but it’s all about having fun and trial and error. If you’re not too sure about it, take baby steps – try a striped shirt with leopard print shoes. Check out Karla's look at Karla's Closet  here. The pattern is broken up by the bottoms and makes the mix more subdued. If you’re a bit bolder, try mixing animal print with a winter floral. I can't get enough of this combo and have seen it on everyone from Oliva Palermo to Blair Eadie

 of Atlantic-Pacific; check out their looks here and here. What are your thoughts on mixing prints?

Rock The Coat

Any fashionista will tell you that she cannot own just one coat. Once the cold weather comes around your coat will be what every stranger on the street and rider on the train will see. Don't get stuck into the boring black coat rut. My advice is to invest in one classic coat, think charcoal grey or camel, as an alternative to black. If you have a bit of extra cash, also invest in a trendier coat; the military-style comes back every season. I also love the idea of a classic coat updated with leather sleeves or trimmings. Good quality will ensure that your coat will be with you for many seasons. Accessorizing your outerwear is just as important as styling any normal outfit and can change the look of your coat. Don't let your winter wear be an afterthought. Find inspiration to make those cold days more stylish than ever!

Audrey Hepburn Inspiration

One of my favorite actresses of all time is Audrey Hepburn. I grew up watching old films with my mom and sister and fell in love with the glamour of the Hollywood stars. I feel like my style has two very distinct personalities. On one side I am very classic, tailored and paired down. On the other I tend to be more experimental with my look, for example, pairing a blue peplum top with leopard pants here. If all else fails, I channel my style icon, Audrey.
