Chunky Knit

When the weatherman calls for an arctic blast, it's time to pull out the chunky knits. Today is back to basics with black and white and a soft gray coat. Booties and leggings have been a go-to this winter.

Poncho Please!

I've been crushing on ponchos and over-sized sweaters this season. Easy to wear and pair with leggings, denim or leather. Make sure to choose a bottom with a slim fit to balance out the top heavy silhouette. Since my poncho is muted, I like the leather detail around the collar. You can also add detail with a printed or fringed poncho.

Feather Frock

Not only am I swooning over the mangled feather pattern on this dress, the leather details add a subtle, yet trendy statement. The colors on the dress are warm and can complement any complexion or hair color, which makes this a simple dress to wear. Add accessories or keep it simple with tights and booties.

Blackout

Though I'm a self proclaimed color enthusiast, black is such an easy color to wear. Today is black on black with the addition of a scarf and a little gold bling for contrast.

Little Leather Details

There's nothing better than throwing on a cozy sweater on a crisp fall day. It's a simple solution to needing an outfit on the fly! The over-sized sweater is detailed with leather pockets as is the arm on the wool topper. All is complete with a leather over the knee boot.

Twill Thrill

Twill is such an easy pattern to pull off. The design is so small, that it can easily be paired, mixed and matched with other colors or prints. I'm going with a deep red and white stripe cotton tee with a faux leather elbow-patch. The October outfit is classic and subtle.

Hail the Shirttail

It's officially fall and I'm looking forward to tailgates, layers and afternoon coffee drinks. The arrival of crisp air brings leather paneled leggings and a shirttail sweater. (these are everywhere!) Finished off with a tiered gold necklace and a classic black pump.
