It's All About The Shoe

It is that time of year again when layering and comfort is a must! Adding a vest whether it be denim, leather, or fur can change up an entire look. Megan (friend from work/school) completed hers by mixing the textures of a Free People printed sweater, and a TopShop leather shirt vest. Which ideally added that little bit of extra edge to her overall look.    

Of course the best is saved for last. Check out these AMAZING Sam Edelman Petty Roccia flat booties from the Fall 2012 collection available anywhere from Saks, Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, Shopbop, Urban, and even Amazon. I am literally obsessed! These are the perfect transition for fall, and best way to make a killer statement to any look! 

Sport-ista

   

Spotted this look when walking through Chelsea. I love the fact that it is casual, but still well put together. Leggings will be popular again come the cold weather, and the best way to dress them up is by adding a comfortable blazer. Don't forget to finish off with the with the perfect shoes. 

I found a similar style by Isabel Marant.

I have been noticing these wedge sneakers around the city. I like how they add a little athletic edge to complete a look, and still allow for that height every girl wants without the pain of heels! Sporty looks seemed to be a trend on the NY Runways, and Donna Karan was one of the many designers to preview this in her DKNY RTW Spring 2013 collection. Take a look!

Dolce & Gabbana

I was sitting on campus today, and from afar my eye caught this amazing floral print! 

I didn't even realize how truly beautiful it was until I got up close to ask for a picture. Look at that detailing, so gorgeous! I love the fact that she kept the look from being to wintery by pairing the jacket with black high waisted shorts, and she kept the look fierce with the slick back pony. Which ideally is the perfect way to keep full attention on the blazer. 

You must check out Dolce & Gabbana Fall Winter 2013 Collection! It is STUNNING!

For my first street style I decided to show off my own look of the day. As you all know fall is right around the corner, so I am slowly trying to convert my look to fit the new season. Unfortunately it is still to warm for sweaters, but this top I found at an antique store in WI last winter (yes, I am not lying!) is a perfect transition. My favorite thing to do when I am picking out an outfit is accessorize, and my latest obsession is gold jewelry. You can see how my simple outfit of shorts and a light blouse can be transformed with a statement necklace (Anthropologie) and a new pair of shoes (Urbanoutfitters)!
