I don’t wear too many patterns, but I love these black and white polka dots. They’re classic and add a fun pop to my look. I’ve also been sporting this leather jacket quite a bit these past few days. It’s officially time for sweaters and boots. What are some of your favorite fall trends happening this season?

leather Jacket: ASOS // shirt: H&M (similar here) // jeans: Armani Exchange // scarf: Zara // boots: 3.1 Phillip Lim 

All black with a few neutrals, leather, and a big scarf is my fall uniform. Throw in some knits here and there and you basically have it! Scarves are my go-to accessory, especially when they are the same size as a small blanket. Not only do they provide layers of warmth, but they add so much texture and interest to any look.

An oversized blazer is a great transition staple for fall weather. Since it’s been warm in Chicago these past few weeks, I’ve been wearing this one as a jacket over lightweight shirts and tees. But we all know it’s going to get chilly soon, and when it does, it will be a great piece to layer over knitwear and accessorize with scarves. What are some of your favorite jackets or blazers?

custom dress: eShakti ℅ // lip: YSL – Le Rouge // bag: Zara // heels: Zara 

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to create a piece of custom clothing through eShakti. They are an online women’s apparel company offering sizes 0-36W and custom clothing. I was excited to look through all of their pieces, and decided on this wool-blend cowl neck dress. I submitted my measurements and was able to specify the tunic length, too. I prefer a sheath dress to fit above the knee, that way my silhouette doesn’t feel short. My experience with eShakti was wonderful and the whole process took under two weeks for my custom-made dress to arrive at my doorstep. My dress is comfortable and a perfect fit!

sweater: similar here // jeans: Old Navy // shades: Prada // shoes: Luca Stefani// bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target (similar here)

A simple sweater with a pair of white jeans is an easy way to transition into fall colors. I picked up this neural knit in a small boutique when shopping in Rome last month. I know it’s going to be a go-to piece for these next few weeks. It’s easy to dress up and will look great with a pair of sneakers and boyfriend jeans.
