Dress - Wyatt Orr
Shoes - United Nude
Trench coat - Front Row

Loving this Wyatt Orr dress.  There's so much dimension to it.  The fabric feels light and elegant and flows with your movements, in all of its layers and strategically placed asymmetrical draping.  The feeling is ladylike yet smart and architectural.  I am always attracted to a dress with unique construction, and it was a perfect match for my shiny pair of  United Nude gems.

City Chic

Cape, tank, and leggings - Haute Hippie
Boots - Sam Edelman//Clutch - Purses for Nurses


Who isn't looking for a perfect coverup for the cooler weather that doesn't make you look like a giant marshmallow? This cape is the answer.  It's perfect for keeping warm, yet light enough to traipse around the city.  I love its unique hemline and elegant, button-adorned seams.  Luxurious without feeling heavy.  Capes were all over the FW14 runways.  I paired it with an asymmetrical tank to create more lines, along with unconventionally-seamed leggings with side-zips for added fun.  The result is city-chic with simplicity and ease.

Birthday Fun

/

I've been a bit off-the-grid here lately, and it had to do mostly with my birthday in this past week.  The celebrations turned out to be much more than I had expected.  My family and friends threw me a lovely surprise party, and I was certainly caught off-guard.  Thought I was going to a birthday brunch with my brothers!

It's been an an amazing, eventful, productive year, and while the journey always must include the downs with the up, that's what makes life real.  I'm thankful for everything and everyone in my life and look forward to what's in store for the next year and beyond!

Fall Florals

/

Dress - Haute Hippie//Shoes - Kathryn Amberleigh (similar here)


Florals in the fall can be just as fresh and seasonally appropriate when done in the right color palette.  The floral pattern on this dress is a perfect play of romantic and dark in its rich jewel tones.  I love an asymmetrical hemline, and this one flows beautifully as it cascades from the strategically-placed side waist-cinch.  I grounded the dress with my velvet silvery-grey pumps, creating an easy look with plenty of dimensions and textures at play.

What colors and textures are you experimenting with this season? If you haven't yet, I highly encourage it.  It's fun to venture outside of your comfort zone once in a while!  What's the worst that can happen? More good than bad can come out of the creatively unexpected.

Fringe benefits

Dress - Topshop//Shoes - Loeffler Randall//Clutch - Kate Spade (similar here, really cute too!)
Necklace - Aldo (similar here)//Sunglasses - Quay


If you don't already know, fringe is huge this season.
On dresses, jackets, shoes, bags.  And who wouldn't want to sneak a little extra fun in their outfit?  Something about these swaying frays puts more swing in your step when you put them on.  Another benefit, how much fun spinning in circles is. 
Need you further rationale?
