In Full Swing

(Dress-Forever21, Cape-Macy's a few years ago, Shoes (not shown)- Target)

Sometimes you get lucky and the clothes you buy come back into style a few years down the road, just before you throw them out. This cape seems to fit the bill for fall perfectly-a chic shape with plaid. What more can you want? paired with a sweater dress now, and a jeans and a chunky knit later, you will probably see this piece many times through out A/W '11.

Simplistic View

Lately, I've been into very simplistic outfits. It seems more chic for this fall. Simple knits in chic shapes, classic bottoms, and minimal jewelry. This denim button down has been a staple in my wardrobe since i purchased it and paired with a nice maroon jean and thick gold chain, it really had the chance to shine. The hair I wore was inspired by this photo from Brazil's Spring/Summer '12 Fashion Week. It looks messy and complicated but if you can part your hair and braid it really is wonderful. Let me know if you try it out!
