Fall Attire

Just when you think the seasons have changed for good and you completely change out your closet wardrobe for Fall attire, BAM - Mother nature says jokes on you! It was toastier than I'd appreciate on what should be a nice crisp Autumn day. Nonetheless, during these fickle times of humidity to chill, we should always be prepared.

Check out a few of my favorite looks Who What Wear pulled together to inspire us all.

Anti-Parisian Essentials

Just when I begin to think I've gotten closer in obtaining that chic, Parisian style, Who What Wear informs me of the items they simply would NEVER own in their closets.

1. 3" Heels: It's either all or nothing at all. A 5" high-heel or a pair of "smart" flats shelter their feet.

My Vote: I'm working on the 5" aside from a night out on the town. It is very difficult to stand in 5" heels for a full work day. I definitely DO own a few solid pairs of flats. Even though I'm on the shorter side, a good flat keeps a smile on anyone's face by the time 5pm rolls around.



2. Logos: A no go. Keep it simple. Keep it basic.

My Vote: Totally agree. Aside from a Chanel Brooch (wish list) or sarcastic t-shirt (Celfie, Homies, etc.), I'm the type to get uncomfortable with giant logos or labels covering my body. You can own designer items, but keep the visual branding to a minimum.



3. No Nylon, Polyester, Viscose, or Vinyl: Apparently they make you sweaty, smelly, and shiny.

My Vote: Due to the lack in budget for quality made apparel. This one I'm going to let slide since majority of items at H&M and Zara are made of these fabrics.

4. Sweatpants: "No man should ever see you in these. Except your gym teacher - and even then. Leggings are tolerated." - Their vote - slouchy trousers.

My Vote: Gasp! Don't take my sweatpants away! As an athlete (possibly retired by now) I lived in my sweatpants during college. Running between classes and practices or 8 hour bus rides, no one is rocking anything but! However, as I've gotten older I do get it. There is a time and place for everything. Sort of like portion control with dieting. Everything in moderation right?



5. Blingy Jeans: "They belong to Bollywood."

My Vote: Even though I do enjoy a nice Bollywood dance-off, I agree. The days of "Jenny from the block" and Juicy on the booty are over. There is no need for bling on your jeans.

6. Shearling Boots: Instead "they" wear smart ankle boots.

My Vote: Clearly, "they" have never been in NYC during the polar vortex. I love my Sorel winter boots with just the slightest touch of shearling. When warmth is desired, I say DO IT!



7. Skimpy Tops: "Because you're not 15 anymore."

My Vote: Portion control.... Just kidding. No matter what the event or hour, there is a time and place for everything. Going to work in a loose cami, probably isn't the best idea. If you're out at a bar or tinder date, by all means! Just know the message you're obviously putting out their if you do ;)

8. Fake Designer Bags: "Like fake breasts, you can't fix your insecurities through forgery."

My Vote: Truth! However, again with the lack of budget, you don't have to pay full price for designer. Do your research and purchase through verified online or in-store locations such as Shop-Hers and The Perfect Purse (Southampton).

Fall Is Coming

Just when we think Summer is over between cool temperatures and Starbucks whipping out the Pumpkin Spiced Latte pre - Labor Day Weekend, Mother Nature says hello - take some of this 90° weather! Still, my mind has been prepped for Fall. With the September issues in full swing on newsstands everywhere, i'm 70%/ 30% for Fall. Oopps, I said it. Get excited to transition your wardrobe for a late summer - mid fall temps. Sweaters and shorts to dresses and light jackets. I can taste the cider.... though, Pumpkin Spiced Latte -give me another 10 days and then I'll pick you up.

If I Were A French Girl

If I were a French girl....la la la la la la la la la (Gwen Stefani?) I'd certainly work my way into incorporating each of the 9 essential items featured above, into my wardrobe. Luckily enough, i've had a soft spot for Parisian chic for some time now and have acquired most of them. I love the effortless, "I Woke Up Like This" attitude. It's a natural beauty that I appreciate on any woman. They may take longer than 20 minutes to get ready in the morning to look that way, but the end verdict is so laid-back chic, i'm in love. Get all the details from this article written by Who What Wear.
