Mixing & Matching trends:

I just love all the trends winter has in store for us... especially, when I'm writing and designing this post to the sound of raindrops & a marathon of Sex in the City in the background.  I'm in a creative state of mind, cozied up in blankets and staying warm with a big cup of coffee.  I love rainy Sundays!  Below you'll find lots of different trends, that to me, would all look amazing and compliment one another.

fall trendiness for less

if you're like me, you want all the new trends right as they come out- even if you know in a few months / weeks / days you'll be over the pieces and move them to the back of your closet where you'll never seem to care about them for the rest of their existence.
SO here is it: fall trends for less... all these items I found + love come with a wonderful price tag--- nothing over $100.  Don't get me wrong, I always splurge on a few must haves for the season but they need to be classified as a classic piece... ya know, one that can be worn for a few seasons and really get it's "money's worth".

-OLD NAVY pleather bomber jacket
-BILLABONG aztec poncho style cape
-H+M faux fur vest
-TOP SHOP faux leather pants & aztec pattern leggings
-MERONA for TARGET riding boots

black bootie.

holy bootie!  Black boots are always at the top of the seasons "must have" list but for whatever reason the designers hit us hard this year with multiple drool worthy black booties.  Ankle boots are so versatile; you can pair them with fun tights to go with skirts, shorts, or dresses but you can also show them off in skinny jeans or a more flared jean.  They have the option to be both dressed up and down and I love having that freedom when choosing an outfit! 

my top pick(s) of the season: 

-RACHEL ZOE, Audrey

-STUART WEITZMAN, Kilgore 

-HOUSE OF HARLOW, Natalia

-SEYCHELLES, Theory
