Happy Hump Day, beautiful friends!

In yesterday's post, I provided 4 very easy tips on how to wear a colorful pairing. This look is yet another visual to add to the archive; you all know that I love my color! I swear, if I were a makeup artist, I'd have rainbow eyes and lips all day, haha...just kidding, but I would have colorful looks, but makeup is sooo not my strong point, to say the least, haha! This look is one that's been inspired by the fall-time foliage. I'm seriously enthralled by nature, particularly during the transitional seasons. I don't really care for winter because I feel like I'm constantly surrounded by death; the trees are so dead and the streets look so....

Happy Tuesday, beautiful friends!

Especially since I've heard some of you mention how you tend to shy away from color because it can be a bit of a challenge, when trying to combine different colors together in one look, without it being too much. Of course the more color you wear, the more of a statement your outfit will be, drawing eyes on you! With that, we want to make sure that the colors blend nicely, which is actually not that hard to do, so let's get into it, shall we?!

Happy Monday, my beautiful friends!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! One of my favorite fall outerwear pieces is the utility jacket and when there's leather sleeves involved, I'm all for it! They're extremely versatile to work with and when there's leather accents incorporated, it provides a bit of an edgy element, which I personally love! The reason is you have both the option of allowing it to be the only touch of leather you include in your pairing or you could work with other leather pieces to have the leather become a recurring theme in your look, as I did in this outfit.
