Fall Desires - Booties

For the second set of fall desires, I rounded up flattering booties in various colors. I have come to learn that wearing ankled booties can be teamed with not only basic American attires, but traditional Indian ones as well. I, being a vertically-challenged person, appreciate comfortable shoes that keep me warm and provide (much needed) height during cold seasons, as in the summer strappy sandals satisfy the job. Here are my top picks for fall booties. 

1. Louise et Cie 'Warren', $178.95

2. Melissa Women's Drama Heeled, $137.58

3. Sam Edelman 'Keegan', $194.95

4. Sofft 'Mya' Pump, $124.95

5. Banana Republic 'Tessah', $198

6. MICHAEL Michael Kors 'York croc-effect leather', $200

Beginning of Fall

H&M Blazer, Vintage Sweater and Jeans, Anne Klein Booties, Marc by Marc Jacobs Sunglasses, Tory Burch Bag, H&M Scarf, Tiffany & Co. Bracelet 

You know fall is especially here when the scarves and boots come out. Being so intolerable to cold weather, I tend to get lazy when dressing up and do my best to layer up to sustain body heat. My favorite go-to items are blazers, long-sleeved sweaters, and scarves. A blazer will always lend a hand in making me look dressier than I think I am; a sweater keeps me cozy and a scarf is fashionable. When the temperature drops a bit more, I bring out the leg warmers as they do wonders to my legs. Here is how I bundled up for the first day of fall!

NYFW Highlights

Lacoste, Rebecca Minkoff, Oscar De La Renta

NYFW has concluded and with that I wanted to round up my favorite selections from different designers. Each atelier holds its unique flavor that makes the silhouettes look innovative and appealing. Mesh, lace, crop tops, and midi skirts/dresses will continue to prevail during fall 2013 and pre-spring 2014. As we progress in time, I have also observed some older patterns and trends that come into shape in some fashion. I look forward to seeing which period in time we resurrect next.

Louis Vuitton, Jason Wu, Marc Jacobs

Gareth Pugh, Ralph Lauren, J. Mendel

Reed Krakoff, DKNY, Calvin Klein

Chanel

What were your highlights from NYFW?

Oversized in Black

Urban Outfitters Top, Topshop Tights, Aldo Heels, Louis Vuitton Bag

The amazing thing about oversized garments is the comfort and ease in doing daily tasks that requires any movement. I also realize that billowy tops can portray a trendy and effortless look when paired with skinny jeans or tight skirts. As the saying goes, "Opposites attract" it can be related here. Since my Bruno Mars concert, I haven't incorporated these leather tights into my attire at all. Although the leather look can feel extremely edgy, the tough look can be lessened when teamed with casual material (cotton in my case).
