High Drama

imageimageimageimageimage

 

I keep saying that layering is the secret of life–and internet friends, it’s true. While this silk skirt is just as great with a t-shirt, sweater, or button down–and this strapless tunic looks amazing over everything from a pencil skirt to jeans–layered together they created a perfect high impact outfit for a friend’s pre-holiday party. And the shoes–while old (and basic black pumps or sandals would also look great!) I love the drama that the petal in the back adds!

Happy Wednesday! XO RA

Fall Grey

imageimageimageimage

While I think grey is a year-round color, I am loving these fall offerings of the shade! Wool that’s easy, cropped and soft pairs well with a heather sweatshirt that’s dressy enough for the pant. And the heels on those shoes! They’re enough to get you through Monday, or whatever comes your way!

Happy Monday! XO RA

Power Pink

Amazing trousers are always a great investment–dressed down, up, classic or fun, they can truly be a workhorse in your wardrobe. And these pink wool ones are making my Friday. Classically cut but in a pop of color it’s the perfect pant for fall.

Hope you’re having an amazing Friday! XO RA

Transitions: Summer Clothes

image

There comes a time when we have to let go of things–old letters, old trends, and the dreaded time when we have to put our summer clothes away. Not that I complain about buying new sweaters (or sweater weather). But there are times when you want to hang on–or like me live in an area where the seasons aren’t so delineated– what’s a fashion lover to do?

I’ve said it a thousands times, and am beginning to think it is the secret to life–layer. This summer off the shoulder tops were everywhere, I lived in this one, and quite frankly didn’t want to stop now that the temps are dipping. My solution? A turtleneck under! It kept me warm and yet kept the integrity of the look!

I’ve used this with countless things–sundresses, lace skirts, tank tops. And I’m loving it! What’s your secret for weathering summery clothes in winter? I’d love to know!

LadyLike

imageimageimageimageimage

There’s something about a full skirt that just makes you feel like a lady–or more specifically a certain kind of lady. What I love about this ladylike number is that it is so classic, but the cutout gives it an edge. Because who doesn’t want to be a lady with an edge?

New Fave

imageimageimageimage

There’s nothing like a new favorite outfit to get you through Monday. While it’s no secret that I love a good jumpsuit (who doesn’t!), this one goes above and beyond. It’s just loose enough to be forgiving, the self-tie belt gives a couple different tying options and the pattern makes sure it is anything but boring. I’ve dressed it up, worn it with flats, and it’s official –we’re in love.

Hope you have something fab to get you through Monday too! XO RA

Fall Basics

imageimageimageimage

There’s something so comforting about fall basics: a great trench, rain boots, paper thin turtle necks. This week the air has turned just a bit crisp and it’s finally beginning to feel like fall! There seemed no better time to pull out the basics–made just a little bit special with the addition of overalls–and go exploring. Hope you have a fabulous weekend!! XO RA

Hint of Drama

imageimageimageimageimage

 

One of my favorite outfit tips is to take something basic–like all black–and make it pop. And tops like this Solace London one make it easy. Even though it’s a crop–high waisted pants keep it classy, and these Sophia Webster shoes just make everything better! These pieces also go great separately, and add the same amount of drama. You may never look at black the same way again!

Some dresses are just too special to be held to one season. Take in point this Johanna Ortiz dress. The green color is perfect for fall, I’m loving the floral details, and the structure of the slight train is just amazing. Paired with velvet shoes it fits right in with the season, but I know come spring it will just go just as great with sandals!

Happy Monday! XO RA
