A trend that has been slithering into our closet each fall season is the snakeskin print. Although it has been around for decades, I feel it’s become more of a staple piece rather than a trend. It’s the new leopard print as a classic, neutral look that pops. But just like the leopard print, snakeskin can range from classy to tacky as it depends on the style, fabric, color and the print itself. It’s a judgement call to make really. I have always preferred leopard over snakeskin but last year something in me sparked an interested in the wild print and have been coveting pieces ever since. This fall season I have been looking at different skirts, dresses, and boots to purchase. I finally bought these boots (haven’t arrived yet so not sure if they will work for me yet); as for a skirt I have yet to find the perfect piece for me. For a dress I am dying to get this one from Rotate . With its statement sleeve and fit and flare silhouette, I know I would live in it. If going all head to toe snakeskin is a little too much for you, try styling an outfit with a simple snakeskin purse or belt. Personally I would love to be able to pull off this snakeskin trench coat; it’s an item I believe Jackie Kennedy would wear paired with a chic all black ensemble, her famous oversized sunglasses, and Gucci mules. At least that is how I pictured myself styling the coat. However you style this exotic print, add a few snakeskin items to your wardrobe.

A Tweed Jacket For Fall

An item that will stand the test of time is the classic tweed jacket. No longer are they only for the professionals or for your mom. They can be cool, young, and chic. Tweed jackets are versatile and can cater to your aesthetics and style. In the fall I always opt for a tweed jacket to throw on over a tank and a pair of jeans, or even my faux leather leggings. It is a casual yet elevated look. Over the years I have collected a growing number of tweed jackets and I don’t think I will ever stop coveting new ones. From the Coco Chanel pieces of the 1920’s to today’s modern take, tweed jackets are a classic piece that will always be in trend.
Fall Layering With adidas
When it comes to the fall season there is one major key point in styling your clothes, and that is layering. Whether you are going out for drinks with your friends or shopping around town, adding an extra layer is not only for comfort and warmth but for style. This can also be said for styling activewear to and from your workout or for your workout. Normally I opt for a light jacket or a sweatshirt to wear to my workout class. It’s easy to throw on over your tank without having to fuss about what to wear.
Friday’s Simply Smitten
“One of the attributes of love is to bring harmony and order out of chaos”
-Molly Haskell
Happy Friday!! I am currently enjoying day 3 of New York Fashion Week. I have to admit it was a good thing I was sick last weekend, giving me plenty of serene time before the chaos of this month. Even after fashion week ends I have events, meetings, and projects galore. Happy about it though- was getting a little discourage from the lack of things in the summer. Anyway, NYFW has been off to a great start and I am excited for what is to come!
