New obsession. Earrings.

Just like everyone else, I go through phases. I had been having a ring phase, and to be fair I am not completely out of it, but I am finding myself entering an earring phase at the moment. Enter the earrings that I am currently obsessing over for summer/fall. 

Pair any of these options, especially the larger ones, with a simple suit, sheath dress or pencil skirt and button down. Pull your hair back, and these sparklers will be the center of attention.

What your closet needs for Fall/Winter

You have probably been looking looking through Fall fashion now since August, whether it be in the magazines, online, or all the direct marketing via email.  In case you are overwhelmed, or your list of 'to buy' items is now up to 30 and you really don't have space in your closet for that many items (I may be talking about myself now) it is time to think strategically.

Worth taking a quick inventory of what you have already and then think what is missing that you are really crushing on from the Fall/Winter collections.  

My top picks are turtle necks, longer skirts and/or dresses, a pair of wide leg pants or two, higher waisted slim pants and some oversized sweaters. 

From the Fall collection here are some of my must have inspirations for exactly what my wardrobe is missing.

Cooler weather = coolER clothes

Looking to inject a little cool into your cooler weather wardrobe? How about a bit of inspiration from UK Vogue. Leave it to the Londoners to perfectly epitomize a casually cool, slightly androgynous, edgy, work vibe.

Culottes. Just in time for Fall

Had I been blogging at all this Spring or Summer you would know that I am not really sold on culottes. It seems like something children in France can only get away with.  Or Victoria Beckham. 

But then I saw this 

It isn't everyday that unsuspected snail mail pleasantly surprises you these days (thanks greatplains.co.uk)!  I think it is a bit of a stretch to call these culottes. I would categorize them more accurately as as wide leg ankle length pants, but the internet says these count too, so I am going with it.

For me this is exactly what I want to be wearing for fall right now. 

If you still can't get your head around culottes, a bit more food for thought from the street including the woman who wears them so well.....
