Suit of Armor...

Don't get me wrong, despite the heatwave the past couple of weeks, I'm in no rush for summer to be over. I'm thoroughly enjoying the warm summer nights, beach trips, and sheer attire. However, I do love a good fall season with light layers and a conglomerate of jackets. Every season I attempt to edit my look to a well polished uniform but without fail I veer into other territories inspired by new and old. I know that this won't be the only look I'll channel this fall, but it is an easy no brainer that can translate throughout all aspects of my life.

*Leather is like a second skin to me, it instantly elevates a look and can dress down even the most formal of attire--always a fall staple for me.

*I'm envisioning a season of rich pigmented skinny/straight leg jeans--think maroons, reds, olives and of course essential black and grey.

*I recently saw a guy wearing this jacket and fell in love (couldn't hurt that he was extremely good looking). A touch of 90's unglam!

*I've learned to embrace a good tee every now and again and this Alexander Wang muscle shirt is no exception--perfect for coming in from the cold and having to disrobe due to overheating inside.

*My ever so coveted Marant sneakers--won't even elaborate, you know my feelings on these puppies already!
