Neither snow, nor rain...

As the temperature continues to drop, the prospect of snow grows each day. A boot is desperately needed for when this time comes (or even a regular rainy day). However, snow boots tend to be clunky and it is very rare that one finds a sleek, fashionable pair. I like these rain boots from Madewell. They come in 5 different colors, but I think this particular pink is so fun. They're 100% rubber, aka waterproof. They have thick rubber soles that grip the ground, so there will be no accidents when you walk down those ice-covered streets. The boots are lined in fleece and promise to keep your feet comfortable and warm. They hit below the calf so you won't feel to stiff or constricted when wearing them. Overall, a great outdoor boot for the upcoming season.

Style Icon of the Week: Alexa Chung

Alexa Chung brings new meaning to the phrase "It-girl". The British fashionista has impeccable taste that has made her stand out among others trying to break into the business. She always looks put together, but is not afraid to take risks. Her success with her past endeavors, such as MTV's "It's On With Alexa Chung" and an assortment of modeling gigs, has allowed her to become a fashion show and red carpet regular. What's more is that she does not show signs of slowing down. Her latest project? A line of clothing for Madewell.

Lived-In Leather

Every woman needs a leather jacket in her wardrobe. I like this one from Anthropologie : brown goes with absolutely everything! The slouchy leather makes it look cool and easy, not stiff. The pockets add detail, without diminishing the beauty of the jacket's simplicity. Plus the motorcycle-chic collar is so edgy. Gotta have it.

Fab Faux Fur

Faux fur is so "in" right now (the operative word being faux). I adore this faux fur coat from Topshop. The texture is rich and the whole look is so chic. My favorite part about this coat is the collar! It's a great fall/early-winter piece, but because the sleeves are only 3/4 length, I wouldn't recommend it for those especially chilly days.

Jazzed about Jewelry

Love jewelry that makes a statement. Especially the metallic, futuristic trend that's so prominent in stores these days, like an oversized gunmetal-gray ring or beaded cuff. Or for a softer approach that still has the pop, a large necklace does the trick.

Lace-up Luxury

These boots from J.Crew are a must have for the season. They're the perfect mixture of femininity and edge (canvas + leather), and the colors are neutral so they go with everything! They have a heel so you can dress them up or down. The double buckle is just icing on the cake. These boots are certainly a staple in this season's military trend. Holiday wishlist anyone?

Winter Accessories

With winter rapidly approaching, gearing up for the cold weather by stocking up on accessories is a must! I am so looking forward to getting cozy in an assortment of gloves, hats, scarves, etc. Below are a few of my favorite pieces for the season:
Fur-trimmed gloves, fuzzy earmuffs, and knit boho-chic headwrap from Urban Outfitters. Chunky knit scarf from Topshop

Style Icon Of The Week: Brad Goreski

In love with Bravo's "The Rachel Zoe Project" and Brad Goreski. Although Brad is no longer working with Rachel, he certainly has made his mark in the industry and greatly influenced men's fashion. He oozes confidence as he wears bold patterns, colors, and his signature oversized bow-tie.

So sad to see Brad leave TRZP but absolutely cannot wait to see what he does next!

Seasons Greetings: Finding That Perfect Holiday Dress

Latest obsession:

Topshop's limited edition dress collection.

With 12 brand new dresses, in an assortment of styles and colors, you are bound to find the perfect dress for the holiday season. Hopefully this will give you an excuse not to snack on all of that leftover Halloween candy (; and get in the holiday spirit.

Below is my favorite from the collection. I love the 1920s-esque full skirt and flapper-style beading. The neutral colors keep the dress from looking too flashy. But, I mean, who doesn't love a little glitter?

You can view them all at the Topshop website.
