I’ve had this faux leather skirt hanging in my closet for a while now, not sure what I was going to do with it.  For a while, the edgy vibe of the skirt intimidated me, but I recently got over my hesitation and found a way to style it to my liking.  I paired it with a brown tank for understated comfort and a statement necklace to balance out my upper half.  Leopard wedges and a structured clutch add to the edge with a little bit of class.

Have you ever just stood in front of a rack of nail polishes comparing the nuances between two (barely!) different shades of pink?  Yeah, that’s me.  There are just way too many delicious options when it comes to nail polish and the choices for fall are no exception.  But instead of the usual goth black lacquer (somehow calling it “midnight” makes it trés chic), I rounded up some gorgeous jewel-toned polish for something refreshingly unexpected.

I’m not a big fan of red wine, but pass all things burgundy colored my way.  This rich shade of red is perfect for a fall afternoon and vampy enough to wear into the night.
