balenciaga boots

These are the coolest boots in the history of the world. They are masculine, feminine, tough, chic, luxe, and down-and-dirty. I would wear them with everything from cuffed boyfriend jeans to a shimmery silver drop waist dress. Love these!

For fall, my favorite thing to do with jewelry is layer, layer, layer. During summer, I wear delicate daisy pendants on white gold chains, but for fall, it's all about piling on thick, chunky, gold. I love to paint my nails a dark oxblood red to make the jewelry stand out. First, put on a dainty pearl bracelet. Then add a chunkier leather wrist-band bracelet. Balance out all that gold with black vintage diamonds. A simple gold chain-loop bracelet tones the look down. Lastly, add a big, standout, look-at-me gold watch! (not blinged-out, or it looks tacky.) Then, I slip on two knuckle rings, one thin diamond and one thicker pinky ring that has my initial on it. You can dress this look down with a denim shirt or dress it up with a slinky LBD. There you go- a perfect fall look! 

Valentino DIY

 

I love Valentino and this past summer in France, I bought my first pair of Valentino motorcycle boots! They were from the Noir black Capsule collection, and I almost died when I tried them on. Anyway, I wanted to recreate a look from the Fall 2013 collection, so I layered a black cashmere Henri Bendel shirt over a chiffon Betsey Johnson dress, and then topped it off with a backwards black cashmere cropped sweater. For the model Julia's hair, I braided her locks and then used a black headband for the finishing touch. I lined Julia's eyes with black gel liner to get the 'doll' look. Then, the boots! This look is something I would wear to parties on the weekends!

I love Brandy Melville, and their dresses are adorable! I paired this babydoll dress with a bomber jacket from Miu Miu and boots from Fiorentini and Baker. To top it off, I wore a dream catcher Free People necklace. I would wear this outfit wandering around Italy!
