He's Back...

Uh Oh, Demetrius is back and looking hotter than ever, he's ready to whip you boys into shape. One item of clothing that can really make or break a mans outfit during the winter season is his coat. Coats can be so sexy! Is that weird to say? Am I the only one that feels that way? If I see an attractive man walking down the street with a nice, fashionable coat on I will probably follow him a few blocks. Ok, now I know that is weird to say....Pay close attention to the coats you buy, and don't be afraid to splurge on a nice designer coat. Designer coats are always worth the price because you will use it all the time, everyone needs a coat when it is cold outside. Like I've said before, just because it's cold outside doesn't mean it's impossible to look cute.

Casual Grunge

Today I went with a very casual look. Plain black dress, flannel shirt from my boyfriends closet, and a fur beanie. It is the perfect outfit to throw on when you are in a hurry. I have always loved beanies, and lately I have had a real soft spot for fur beanies in particular. They are beautiful and oh so cozy. I bought mine from Topshop, they have an amazing selection of beanies. A little pricey, but beanies are a staple piece in my wardrobe and I know I will wear them almost every day. On another note, Thanksgiving is only 8 days away and I can not wait to stuff my face. What are y'alls Thanksgiving plans?

Come As You Are

Come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach. As I want you to be.

I am channeling my inner Kurt Cobain today and playing with plaids and flannels. I have actually been having a lot of fun mixing different colors of plaid together. It has been pouring down rain here in Austin today, so it is the perfect day to wrap myself up in my favorite flannel shirt and lay in bed listening to my Nirvana records. Nirvana always gives me crazy feelings and inspiration, so when I had to get up to go to the grocery store, this is the outfit I threw on. It kind of expresses how their music makes me feel. 90's grunge is back in style this season, and I thank the fashion gods everyday for making that so. I have always loved the comfort of a good flannel and a sturdy pair of combat boots. I hope this style will sit and stay awhile.

Fall Essentials

Fall is my favorite season. The sound of leaves crunching under your feet, drinking warm apple cider on your front porch, and wrapping yourself up in an oversized chunky sweater while you search for the perfect pumpkin down at your local farm; these are some of my favorite things about this time of year. Fall is such a comforting season, I always feel happy and warm inside when that first gust of cold air sweeps in. Of course, one of the main reasons I am so in love with fall is the fashion. I have compiled a list of fall essentials that you absolutely need in your wardrobe this season. Enjoy

1.) Tall Sock

 

Tall socks are my favorite fashion accessory for when the weather cools down. They can make any outfit look funky and there are so many cute options out there. Chanel and Karen Walker did an excellent job showing off the versatility and pure awesomeness of the tall sock.  For everyone who can't afford these killer over the knee leather Chanel socks,  my favorite store to buy tall socks is Free People. They have a wide selection of colors and patterns, not to mention that they are all extremely cozy. I promise, you will never take them off.

2.)Beanies

 Beanies are a must. Last spring I saw a lot of beanies and leather caps on the runway. I am really loving this hat trend and have found myself buying more and more hats whenever I shop. They are the perfect finishing touch to an outfit. Also, I don't know about any of you, but being outside in the cold without my ears covered is the most painful feeling! I can't stand it. Besides being fashionable, beanies are practical.

3.) Graphic Sweatshirts

 When I saw these graphic sweatshirts by Givenchy, I couldn't help but smile. FINALLY, someone made fun graphic sweatshirts a major fashion statement. I love this look, and the awesome thing about graphic sweatshirts is that you can find them anywhere. My two favorite stores to find sweatshirts are Urban Outfitters and ASOS. they both have a large selection of cool sweatshirts. They are the perfect layering piece, go out and get yourself one or five!

4.) Leather

 

Of course leather is on this list. It is always so classic, beautiful, and edgy at the same time. I have been adding a lot of leather to my wardrobe lately. Leather skirts, jackets, shoes, hats, shorts, you name it. Leather can be pretty expensive, but I look at it as an investment piece and I know that I am going to wear all of my leather pieces a million times.  I suggest you invest in at least one leather piece, either a jacket or a skirt. Next on my list is a pair of leather pants.
