Regal in Red

Red isn't always my first choice in hues, but something attracted me to this vibrant shade. The brightness is infectious and exudes a regal tone. Paired (again) with a thick heeled leopard pump and topped off with a multi-strand gold necklace and a bold lip, I'm ready to conquer the work week!

Black on Black

Sometimes you have to embrace the beauty, simplicity and upscale appeal of black. As a color fiend, this is rare for me, but today I'm giving in on a rainy, October morning. The slight drama of the peplum in addition to leopard pumps give it just enough to standout from your every day black on black ensemble.

Falling for Booties

What I'm currently finding irresistible for fall? The bootie! I'm loving the dress and bootie  winning combo for early fall's temps. Dress them up or down by pairing with a vibrantly colored dress or with your favorite jeans for weekend. I also look forward to making a statement in them with wax denim to give my fall style a little edge.

Monochromatic

There is not much easier than a classic wrap dress...unless it's a faux wrap. This dress is easy to throw on and you don't even have to worry about tying the perfect bow! The brown and white animal print is simplistic enough to add a variety of accessories or color. I embraced a more monochromatic route for understated style.
