It’s terrible, I know. I’ve been incredibly MIA for like an entire month. Work is just sucking the life out of me and barely find time to blog!

Anyways, I’ll work on this I promise. Lately I’ve been posting a lot of images, which is basically the only thing I have time for….plus it’s fun! I’m really enjoying instagram and idarkroom, so you’ll definitely be seeing more of this.

Basically, I’m ob-ssesed with my ‘from the top’ snaps which clearly explain my shoe fetish, but I also love snapping random things and just mashing it all up…hence the below… Laters!

This season, many designers opted for airy, sheer fabrics which we immediately associate to summer and warm weather, however, layer these with a few key leather, wool or tweed pieces and you’ll make the perfect chic autumn outfit.

But don’t let their choice of textures mislead you. That peasanty, flowy, boho chill mix is everything but innocent. It’s all about cheeky games of peekaboo and infantile-inspired collections such as we see on Carven’s ‘Introduction to Summer 2012′ Collection and Victoria Bekham’s newly revealed DVD Collection inspired by comic character- Emily The Strange.

This Fall/Winter, do not be afraid to reveal subtle flashes of skin, it’s all about finding the right balance between being modest and conservative with a twist of aloof naughtiness.

This is why I love this editorial I bookmarked on the latest issue of Jalouse magazine dubbed ‘Cimes City’. I describe it as Heidi meets Lolita meets Little House on the Prairie gone rogue. Here are my favorite images, take a look…

I know you’re probably thinking, how is having bare legs going to keep me warm, the girl is half naked most of the time! Well, I’m a true believer that if you have the right coat, scarf, gloves and beanie…you’ll be all set to take on some crisp weather…plus, it’s not like you’re outdoors most of the time, right?

Can’t seem to get these Current/Elliott jeans off me. I’ve been asked several times recently (by some very silent followers who are too shy to shoot their questions live!) how to wear animal print jeans.

So for the fourth third time in a week, I decided to wear these darlings again just to get you inspired.

I’d say keep it clean. Go for a simple t shirt or silk boyfriend button-down. Just keep in mind that your bottoms are already busy and represent that loud statement piece in your outfit, so don’t try to overshadow them with anything extra snazzy.

In other words, let them have their little self-indulgement moment all to themselves!

This time around, I decided to wear them with this grey wool/cotton blend v-neck and my fave super soft distressed leather trench, which reminds me so much of that one trench Burberry conceived for their 2012 Resort Collection, except for well..a slight color variation.

Love the whole idea of having some furriness peep out from the sides, so I threw in this cropped fur vest which not only adds a touch of texture to the look, it also keeps me super warm.

AND, you’ve probably already noticed, but I’m a huge huge fan of ankle booties and have been using them since forever, in particular these Western inspired fringed ones which are unbelievably comfy. Notice the leg game going on there? that’s what makes these stiletto jeans so special, although I’m not sure I’ll be able to pull off the no-sock-look all throughout winter…doubt it.

In case you’re wondering, no, I didn’t get bronchitis from going out with wet, slicked back hair…I did go out, but managed to stay indoors while having my all-time favorite Martini rosso with a curl of orange peel with ma peeps.
