Menswear? Oh how so many of us think it is so much easier to for a guy to get dressed and some girls will gravitate towards mens-like clothing pieces. Lately I find myself grabbing dark colored, plaid or checkered pieces and wanting to pair it with a pair of boyfriend jeans or boyfriend shorts. Miami doesn't really have much of a fall of winter, except for that 1 week in January, so when the temperatures do drop, I will try to wear as much dark pieces as possible. In the fall and winter time an all black outfit just seems so simple, and black pieces can be paired individually with other popular colored pieces like grey or camel. I am warning you now, that my outfits might become a little more menswear-inspired than usual.

Plaid, checkered, and buffalo will be big this Fall and Winter so when Target released this top as part of their special collection with Adam Lippes, I instantly purchased it because I knew it would become one of my favorite pieces; I can't wait to pair it with a leather or suede skirt. If you haven't noticed by now, I am a sucker for pieces of a special collaboration so when BaubleBar announced that they would be releasing a collection designed by Olivia Palermo I make anxious. This crystal necklace might just be my favorite necklace of all time and I honestly recommend you purchase it before it is too late! It can be paired with anything and it isn't as heavy as it seems. As for my sunglasses, Gilt currently has them on sale for less than $100 and for a pair of The Row sunglasses, that's a complete deal! You can find them here.

 

Prepping for Fall

Happy Fashion week or should I say month? Fashion week officially kicks off today and although NYFW has changed around quite a few things, it still remains about the same - Spring collections. Summer hasn't officially ended in my world but after my friends guilting me into starting to dress a little bit more for Fall, I put this little casual outfit together. Here's the thing, I live in Miami, the weather is still in the 90s and technically summer doesn't end until September 23rd, so I am going to wear florals and pastels until the very last day. 

Fall this year is all about plaid, buffalo and checkered; these also happen to me my fall go-tos. It is so easy to dress up or dress down and pretty much can be found in any and every color possible. This plaid top is by a brand called The Fifth Label and I first discovered this brand through Piperlime, so sad that they closed, so when I learned that Revolve Clothing sells this brand I was beyond excited. 

As for the pointed lace-up flats, they're currently beyond popular, and come next week I will link you to my favorite pairs so you too can purchase a pair. I am guilty of purchasing 3 different pairs because  I am beyond obsessed. They kind of give the outfit a classier/dressier look. By the way, this pair is less than $50 and comes in 3 different colors/prints.
