Fall Fashion List: Moto Jacket

When mid August rolls around I start getting a bit giddy for Fall fashion season! I love darker colors and being able to wear jackets and scarfs and boots, which is kind of big deal after surviving the Texas heat. Every Fall, I get kinda obsessed with the idea of a moto jacket and then I never end up finding one, but this is going to be the year! The silhouette has been around awhile and I really like the different material options that are out there this season.

                Dressy & Edgy

This black  jacket is from Target! I like the lace overlay and sleeves it gives it a dressy feel but the zippers and cut are still edgy.

      Tough & Comfy

This jacket is from Gap, it looks kind of like a tweed but it's terrycloth like a sweatshirt. I like the contrast details.

Military details

This green and black one is from Target as well, it is a knit stretchy fabric. I love the hardware details and the epaulettes at the shoulder, I'm a sucker for military details.

tried and true

There's also something to be said for the tried and true approach, this leather one from asos has traditional stitching detail on the shoulders and angled side zippered pockets.

What fashion are you excited about for Fall?

Shoe Love

I know most girls can relate to "love at first sight" when it comes to shoes. It doesn't happen to me very often but when does I get a little obsessed and start planning outfits around the shoes. This latest shoe crush is truly a wearable work of art.

I think what I really love about these shoes is the mix of materials: the suede, the watercolor print, and the cork. The elements play off each other and compliment one another in an unexpected way. What can I say, I'm a sucker for water color prints, Impressionism is my favorite genre of painting and I'm often wearing Vera Wang's watercolor prints. I also love the tiny curve around the front opening it's so adorably retro.


This lovely shoe is by Tracy Reese and available (at where else) Anthropologie. What's even better it comes in two very different colorways. A playful weekend one, and a little more serious work appropriate one. Bright colors are my favorite so I'm pretty sure if I had to pick only one pair it would be the bright ones, but I really like the blush/gray combo too. But alas I am not coordinated enough for 3.5" heels and I'm already 5.9" tall so I'm pretty sure I would feel ridiculous towering over everyone.

On to the outfits:

These shoes have so much wonderfulness going on it's best to let them take the focal point of the outfit. I think a simple black dress is a safe option, the contrast would really make them stand out.

I also like a nice cobalt blue mixing with the green suede of the shoe.

The other colorway, the gray and blush could dressed up or down.

This next dress is probably a little to matchy, but I love it anyway, Supyana has been one of my favorite designer for quite a while and her prints and her attention to detail are awesome.
