Fashion, Travel & Lifestyle.

While you can choose to go a bit more classic with it – think utilitarian style boots and swinging capes with epaulettes – I like taking the trend a little bit more 90’s grunge.  So throw on a cargo jacket over a silky printed dress (I’ve had this one in my closet for years and still love it), carry an oversized structured clutch, and toughen it all up with your coolest boots (I want to wear this pair with everything this Fall, so prepare yourself to see a lot of them).  I also added a few sparkly pins to my jacket for a fresh new take on the usual regalia.  Which trend will you try this Fall?  I’d love to hear your favorites from the week!

The feeling here is plenty ladylike but still a little bit quirky.  Meaning feel free to wear those pretty pastels, but mix in a fun animal print or a fun accessory (here, my flats and mini cross-body bag).  And the number one rule with making pastels work for Fall is carefully placing them next to a “true Fall” color.  So soft pinks next to classic camel.  Or baby blue paired with deep charcoal (both incredibly easy to pull off).  Or go a bit bolder and try lilac with oxblood, or mint green with rich navy.  Have fun with this one.  I know I’m going to.

There’s a distinct divide here in Los Angeles between the beach babes and the downtown dwellers.  And this Sport Chic trend feels so perfect for the city girls (I mean, nothing feels more downtown LA than slick pumps, curve skimming leather, an LA dodgers cap and a busy freeway).  This trend is surprisingly easier to pull off than you would think because paired with your sexiest little black dress is your favorite slouchy sweatshirt.  Wear it with an extra dose of downtown cool.
