Usually when I think fall style I think of dark greens, maroons, black...lots of black. However, today I had a change of heart. Mostly because I wanted to get some more wear out of these Valentino flats before I start rocking knee high boots for the next few months.

Anyhow, I used to have a love affair with silk scarves and I have had them tucked neatly away for the past few seasons. I decided to un-tuck them this year and start incorporating them into my outfits again. I prefer to wear mine more like a bandana but you could try tying it in a knot or draping it over your shoulders for a totally different look!

Fall in Southern California calls for pleated minis, crop-tops, and wool blazers. 

It was WAY too hot today to be mid-October! Although, I know I shouldn't complain because people travel across the globe year-round to experience our beautiful weather. Today I decided to pair one of my favorite (and thrifted I might add!) wool blazers with this pleated little faux leather skirt I picked up at TopShop in Soho back in September. I have been feeling silver jewelry lately but I felt this hunter green and black combo called for some gold accessories.

Blending In

Stripes. Leather. Black Booties. Round Sunnies. All of my favorite things mixed into one simple outfit. We are still experiencing the heat wave of heat waves here in Southern California, and as much as I want to wrap myself up in chunky sweaters I am managing by incorporating thicker fabrics such as this leather skirt by Reformation. I purchased this at their Soho store last month, knowing it would quickly become a staple. Although it is cream, I still find it to have a very "Fall" vibe to it. I am excited to pair it with an oversized turtleneck and knee-high boots once the temperature starts to drop- fingers crossed for that to actually happen!
