custom dress from eShakti
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!

everyday color
Here are two great everyday colors from Essie for your nails. Sand Tropez is my go-to color, though sometimes I like to switch it up to something a little softer and feminine like Limo – Scene.
black ankle boots
A good pair of black ankle boots are my fall/winter go-to shoes. Here are a few of my top picks…oh, the choices!

texturework sweater
sweater: Madewell // jacket: ASOS // jeans: Zara // sneakers: Vince // bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs
It’s beginning to feel like fall in Chicago. So this means switching to heavy knitwear, leather jackets and layers. I’ve been searching for this specific shade of gray sweater for awhile, and this one from Madewell is perfect. Have a great Monday!

My weekend inspiration is this amazing view of the Arco di Costantino from the Colosseum.

neutral transition
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.
