I’m generally not big into trends, but I’m loving the sleeveless knit turtlenecks and backpack bags I’m seeing everywhere this fall. These are both great staples, and will transition well into winter and even spring (if you live in Chicago, all these seasons generally feel the same). I decided on a classic pointy flat and simple accessories.
I hope everyone had a great weekend! I began mine with UNIQLO at their Train Takeover Event! Yep, it was on the train and better than any ride I’ve ever experienced on the CTA! UNIQLO is opening their new store in Chicago on October 23rd, so mark your calendars!
Take a peek at the 3.1 Phillip Lim Women’s Fall/Winter 2015 Runway Show. It’s everything you would expect: simple silhouettes with oversized cuts and draping, unexpected texture and a dark moody palette. Perfection! I need to wear all of this now!

It’s officially sweater weather in Chicago… so, this means heavy knits, boots and puffer coats for the next 5 months. I kept it simple with a soft v-neck sweater, jeans and black boots. Perfect for a simple, yet chic look.

Here are a few of my top picks for October. Lately, I’ve been drawn to neutral knitwear and oversized pieces. I’m really loving the idea of wraps and large scarves for this fall/winter. Layers and elevated basics for the win!

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.
overalls: Zara (similar here) // long sleeve tee: Old Navy // bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim // shades: Marc by Marc Jacobs // boots: 3.1 Phillip Lim
Time to officially switch to a warmer wardrobe for fall. Layers, textures, long sleeves and boots for months (and months) ahead. I love the relaxed fit of overalls and paired these with a large scarf and simple long sleeve tee for comfort.
