Last week I attended Holt Renfrew’s fall trend presentation where they laid out the looks for the upcoming fall season. One of my favorite trends forecasted for fall is the idea of mixing textures. Studs, prints, fur and leather, there truly is no limit this coming season. I was inspired to incorporate the texture trend for my end-of-summer fashion, and mixed lace fabric with a lace print. A few studs and a little faux fur clutch were tossed in for good measure. I can guarantee this is a look I’ll be perfecting for fall.

I tend to rebuke superstitions, life is just too short to be concerned with throwing salt over your shoulder, stressing if you pass a black cat, or avoiding white after Labor Day weekend. So even though this little number has received ample street time this summer, I can guarantee that once I pair it with black tights, booties and a fur vest, I’ll be wearing it long after Labor Day.
Every now and then I need to force myself out of my dessert box to try something new, more specifically, flavors other than chocolate. So when I came across this recipe for Rose Water and Raspberry Cupcakes, I was curious enough to give it a go. The result was a fluffy, sugary confection with a floral essence. I’m already envisioning them at a future tea party or luncheon, altering the glaze to match the color of the decor. I’m confident that I would be able to convince even the most dedicated of chocolate lovers to give them a go.

It’s that tricky time of year when the fall fashions are hitting the stores, but the current weather is the warmest it’s been all summer long. I’ve never been one to put off my fall fashion purchases in August (shocking, I know) but this year I’ve decided to make a better effort of transitioning my summer pieces into fall looks. I’ve been rocking these cobalt shorts all summer long, but have decided they look best paired with my leather jacket and suede booties. So go ahead ladies, have a little fun mixing and matching your seasonal wears.

It’s funny how a print can work with your state of mind. Dark, moody prints tend to read as more edgy, while bright and cheerful prints play to my lighter side. So naturally I was drawn to this dress, with it’s vibrant distorted hearts, and just knew that wearing it on a sunny afternoon would guarantee a fabulous day. Summer is slowly rapidly starting to slip away, but with pops of pink and orange and I’ll try and hold on to it for as long as I can.
