Fall In Love

So I know that I am not the only one who is completely ecstatic that Fall is finally upon us. Unfortunately, here in Florida, Fall takes quite awhile to actually start looking and/or feeling anything like Fall. I thought that in the meantime I would post some of the things that I am most excited to incorporate into my regular rotation.

1. High buns: While high buns are highly functional year round, it tends to be my go to style for Fall // Winter. It's easy, chic & doesn't look ugly when the wind picks up.

2. Natalie + Dylana Suarez x Modern Vice JETTs: I know that I'm constantly talking about my JETTs on this blog, but I really adore them. I have been begging for the colder months to get here because I want them on my feet at all times. Not only are they comfortable, but I am constantly getting compliments on them because they aren't your typical ankle boots. It's important for me to wear practical yet interesting shoes & these are the perfect combination of the two.

3. Mustard yellow: This color has a tendency to be slightly obnoxious, but if used in moderation it will add a nice pop to any outfit you are donning during the drearier months. I personally love pairing this sweater with my black faux leather circle skirt. Maybe because it always makes me feel like I'm channeling the outfit that Cher picks out of her electronic closet (that I've secretly always wanted) in Clueless.

4. Dark half moon nails: Fall is notoriously known for welcoming dark, broody nail colors with open arms. To change up the norm a bit, I like to create a half moon manicure with some darker, but sparkly lacquers. It looks more festive than regular polish while still allowing you to go dark.
 

 
 5. Trench: I found this trench on sale at H&M during the Summmer & I have been absolutely dying to be able to actually wear it out ever since. It is the perfect color and goes with basically all of my clothes. It's key to find a trench that isn't too thick to pair with sweaters and long sleeved shirts. On a side note, this color looks incredible when paired with red // coral accessories. I like to pair mine with a dark denim button down and some bright pieces.

Whatever you end up wearing this Fall, remember to add your own unique flare to everything. Embrace the changing of the seasons, kiss sundresses goodbye and allow yourself to step out of the box, stylistically. Oh & also remember to Fall In Love.

 What Fall trends do you fall in love with?

Top 5 Current Faves

1. Cropped boyish hair & equally boyish outfits.

There is nothing like a beautiful girl who emanates femininity behind cropped hair and menswear (I rhyme on the side). I am forever wishing that I was ballsy enough (and had the bone structure) to pull of boy short hair. Oh, the woes of having chubby chipmunk cheeks. Maybe one day...

2. The Lovely Miss Cara Delevingne

 

There is just something wonderfully spectacular about Cara. She really stood out to me while I was keeping up with different shows this season. I absolutely loved her looks for Jason Wu and Marc Jacobs. There is something super quirky and crazy about her. I think it's extremely charming how she doesn't seem to take herself too seriously. We were born on the same day of the same year (August 12th, 1992) as well. So she's like my more beautiful, more amazing counterpart.

Also, homegirl invited Harry Styles to watch her at the Burberry show. 

Mmm, on a side note, Aaron Paul looks like such a babe *.*

3. My Dylana + Natalie Suarez x Modern Vice JETT Boots

 

The fact that I honestly fell in love with these boots the minute I laid eyes on them + my growing adoration of Natalie Suarez made the purchase of these JETT's a no brainer. They are the most amazing boots I currently own. They honestly go with pretty much everything, from baby doll dresses to skinnies to high waisted shorts. I can't wait until Fall and Winter (or lack there of here in Florida) because I am going to be wearing these babies every damn day.

Here are a few photos I snapped on Instagram of me & my JETT's:

 

 4. Leandra Medine of The Man Repeller

 

It is almost insane how much I look up to this woman. I swear everything that she puts on her body and everything that comes out of her mouth is pure gold. I can really relate to her 'man repelling' outfit choices. I love her writing and I also love her weird attitude. I love that she calls lots of bracelets 'arm parties' and/or 'arm soirees'. I'll forever be a Man Repeller groupie.

5. Oversized Denim Shirts

My dad lives in Hong Kong and I begged him to send me a few of his older denim shirts and this is my favorite of the things that he sent me. It's a Levi's black denim shirt and I wore it today with some teeny tiny shorts underneath so that I wouldn't flash anyone at school. I paired it with some leopard flats that I bought the last time I was in HK. All in all, the entire ensemble was a homage to Hong Kong (missing you).

Love,

Aisha
