Leather for Real Life

August 24, 2020

I am a big fan of leather (vegan leather mostly) for Fall. It is so luxe looking and goes with everything. Here are some of my top picks for pieces you don’t need to wait until temperatures drop to rock.

This Aqua pencil skirt is a perfect marriage of trendy and classic. The faux leather gives it an edge that is balanced by the classic silhouette. The elastic waist and pockets are just icing on the cake.

Paper bag waists are the pants this season, luckily they are super flattering. These Lucy Paris vegan leather pants fit like a glove with minimal front pleating and side slit pockets. Glam paired with heels, they are also super cute with a sporty sneaker and tee.

Lucy Paris Puff Sleeve Top

I love me a good puff sleeve. Not only for the drama, but also the overall slimming effect it has on one’s silhouette. This Lucy Paris top is so good in both Lilac (super discounted!) and classic black I had to include them both.

This Blank NYC faux leather blazer makes me giddy. I am obsessed with the double breasted cut (again, very slenderizing) and chic camel color. Paired with distressed jeans and a tee or as an accent to an all black outfit, this is a statement piece.

Topshop excels in high quality fast fashion and this pleated midi skirt is no exception. The only skirt you’ll need this Fall, it can be styled so many ways (with a fitted turtleneck, graphic tee, blazer, silk blouse…).

Another winner from Topshop these Faux Leather Culotte shorts are so good for Fall. Styled with a blazer as above they are so cool but also look chic when dressed up with a sweater and heels.

Joggers are my jam and this BLANKNYC pair are the perfect cut in a gorgeous hue. This tan neutral is a no brainer with black and white but also pairs beautifully with bold colors.

Leather shorts may sound scary, but these Anthropologie Paperbag shorts are more class than trash. Paired with an easy button down they are impossibly chic and the elastic waist make them incredible comfy.

At first glance these Free People Penny Flares may send you running for the hills, but I promise they are so worth giving a try. Flared legs make you look long and lean and add some drama to any look- but mostly make you look long and lean:)

Not sure if you can pull off the color pink? You c Not sure if you can pull off the color pink? You can! The key is not going overboard and pairing it with neutral colors like white and camel. Still hesitant? Start with pink lipstick (I swear nothing wakes up a tired face more than a little swipe of lipstick)  or in your accessories like a hat or handbag and then work your way into clothing!

We’ve been spending a lot time at our home in La We’ve been spending a lot time at our home in Lake Havasu lately for a change of scenery- I guess that’s one of the silver linings of virtual school. Whenever we are there, I challenge myself to a play game I like to call “Find cute clothes at @walmart ”- Perfect for #FrugalFridays!
I have to say if you are willing to search, you can actually find some cute pieces like this tie-dye T-shirt I scored for $9.98! I’ve always been a big proponent of mixing high and low so I’ll pair a T-shirt like this with some of my good jeans and bold accessories to balance to look.

Being a stylist I spend a ton of time in malls and Being a stylist I spend a ton of time in malls and stores and picked up this little nugget of wisdom along the way... @freepeople is one of my go to’s and as luck would have it, @macys online and some brick and mortars sell Free People and it is almost always on sale. I bought the henley in this picture for $21 at Macy’s while it was selling for $68 at Free People. Sidebar here for a moment, I love a good henley as an alternative to a plain old T-shirt! So my big take away is if you find something you love at Free People (and who wouldn’t) check out Macy’s before you buy! Check out my stories for some of my top pics for pieces currently on sale! @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/35R0Y
If you know me, you know that I love both puppies If you know me, you know that I love both puppies and hats 👒🐶 and while we could all use more puppies these days, today-  let’s talk about hats. It is the easiest way to turn an  outfit from drab to fab in addition to hiding roots, grease and grays or as I like to call it Covid hair.
I can’t tell you the amount of times I have had friends or clients say, oh I could never pull off a hat like you do. WRONG! Hats are definitely all about attitude so when you put one on you have to own it. If you think you can rock it, trust me you can. And if this past year has taught me anything,  at the end of the day, do you really care what anyone thinks about you?!
