a golden back.

Sweet Lasses Tumblr

I love an open back in anything I wear because it is so unexpected. A piece of clothing can appear so different from front to back and I love that level of surprise when one glances back while walking away. I think playing it up with a golden embellishment only enhances the backside...still so stunning but definitely adds a sophistication that was not previously there...it leaves me intrigued and I like it.

Model Zippora Seven for Elle France, September 2012

I absolutely adore Zippora Seven and this spread defines everything I love about the beginning of fall...sweaters! The fact that it is shot by the sea just makes it doubly cool.

I am dying over these boots! They are pretty fabulous and actually look quite comfortable for being so stylish...

printed.

Autumn means trading all my sundresses, cut-offs and crop-tops for some good old denim and sweaters. This year I'm able to start the fall off right with one of my favorite trends of the moment, printed denim! It's so very bitter sweet saying goodbye to Summer, hoping still for that one last beach day. However, I am beyond psyched to layer into my wardrobe this one-of-a-kind (really not 2 are the same!) washed-out croc printed skinny...yes these pants are pretty cool.

How overly cool, rad, fabulous and about everything in between are these gems? I want, big time.

Jessica Hart is always a stunner when it comes to putting outfits together. It's the ease of which the whole thing comes together and is "just right" that inspires me to create my own looks on a daily basis. If I'm just putting the same thing on as any other day, there is no excitement in that. I like to mix-match, mish-mosh and create a look that has never been done before! Yes!

This has been my go-to top for the past couple of weeks. It is perfect for those end of the Summer breezy days paired with some denim cut-offs and even more perfect, for those cool end of the Summer nights paired with some fabulous colored denim. The detailing is exquisite and it's just as light as air...

vest.

Free People Embroidered Vegan Leather Vest

I'm such a sucker for vests and this one is exceptionally cool. A little detailing on the back and the motorcycle radness makes this that perfect piece, thats just a little bit different than all the rest...
