Not Your Basic Witch

Any kind of fashion that makes me feel all-in on a season is more than okay with me.

Admittedly, I’m one of those fashion folks who loves Fall, Halloween, and the many many variations of witchy style. So for October I want to channel some mystic witchy woman energy with a modern twist. It’s a little more American Horror Story Witch and alot less Wicked Witch of the West, not your basic witch.

This isn’t a Halloween costume, it’s a chic way to add a dash of the macabre into your everyday look. Whether you be a good witch or bad witch is up to you.

Start by adding a FEW witchy details to your look. You’ll want to limit the amount of add-on’s to keep the look becoming too costume-y. A few key items and some subtle accessories can create a perfect low-key witchy vibe.

There are a few details that are traditionally associated with witches that you can work with. Black wide-brimmed hats, all black/gray and/or traditional Halloween accent colors like orange, green, purple, or red. Old-timey details like square buckles (on shoes or otherwise), lace-up and/or pointed toe boots and spooky motifs like skulls, insects and spiders, spider webs and traditional creepy critters like black cats.

Witchy style is all about celebrating femininity so start with a dress or skirt and then add a few magical details in. Pieces that are aged/appear to be aged fit in nicely with this vibe. Think vintage silhouettes, textures and a variety of fabrics to create depth.

Whether you go bohemian, gothic, New England style or total kitsch with it, embrace all the quirks and soak up the season of the witch.

Embellished Collar Trend

Embellished pieces are everywhere this season, from jewel lined dresses to high ultra ruffled Edwardian necklines and fringe covered coats but the one trend that really has me swooning is the embellished collar trend!

We saw this trend pop up back in 2012 and thanks to designers like Gucci and the constantly collar clad Betty on Riverdale it’s back again, and I have to say- I’m not mad about it. From rhinestone encrusted pointy 70s inspired collars to lady-like beaded and pearl adorned Peter Pan styles the embellished collar is back baby!

This smallest dash of quirk is a perfect seasonal pick-me-up for your wardrobe. Embellished collars set a chic retro-inspired mood, instantly elevate your look and BONUS you don’t really have to worry about accessorizing because it’s done for you!

Totally versatile wear then to work with trousers or out on the town with a flirty skirt- you can even dress then down with edgy jeans and a leather jacket- the best part is that this trend has a little something for everyone!

From feminine and sweet to effortlessly boho and cuts-like-a-knife edgy you really can’t go wrong this season when you stick out your neck for this oh-so-chic trend.

Five Pieces That Will Totally Bougie Up Your Look This Season

Bougie dressing is “IT” for Fall 2019.

The trend/style is led by French classic brands like Celine and Balenciaga but is being appropriated by literally every brand on the block. FENDI I see you with your AMAZING Bow tie blouses this season!

Sophisticatedly pretty, classically chic and perfectly posh with an easy elegance it’s no wonder fashion is saying “Oui” to the Bourgeoisie style.

At its heart, ‘bougie dressing’ is a new iteration of the kind of ‘French-girl dressing’ most of us try to emulate, nostalgically classic but totally fancified.

The bougie or the bourgeoise style from Paris is all about wearing accentuated classic pieces in layers dominated by a silhouette inspired by the 70s style of Parisian high class.

It’s about building the kind of ensemble you might imagine a French aristocrat wearing to work in an art studio in Paris in the 1970s, evoking that, at any minute you could be sporting a basket full of flowers and a baguette from the market while riding a bike and sipping wine.

Bougie dressing builds on a classic silhouette by layering in some simple yet key pieces. To get the look there are five easy add-on’s that will totally BOUGIE you up for the season.

Print Scarf- opt for a heritage print something with a classic Hermes type feel. Tie in a luxe bow around your neck and don’t be afraid to go big!
Boxy Blazer- a classic blazer always adds some class to a look. Go for luxe fabrics like boucle, linen or wool.
Hat- again go classic. Think Fedora or a wide brim felt chapeau.
Top Handle Handbag- is there anything MORE bougie that a top handle bag? I think not!
Belt- remember you want a classic simple silhouette so make sure everything is neat and tidy by securing it with a belt.

Coach F/W 19 Trunk Show

Coach just seems to keep getting better and better. Season after season Stuart Vevers somehow continues to WOW me, and the Coach FW19 Collection has me weak in the knees.

The Fall 2019 collection was inspired by a road trip Vevers took up California’s scenic Route 1 that had him stopping at Nepenthe, the famous Big Sur restaurant that opened in 1949 and is still a must for sweeping views, Ambrosia burgers and shopping for tie-dyes and wind chimes.

For the FW19 Collection Vevers enlisted artist Kaffe Fassett, whose family has owned and operated Nepenthe since the start. He splashed Fassett’s Sixties-era florals prints on top of black backgrounds throughout the collection which resulted in a gorgeous muted color palette with a punch of rock n’ roll and punk grit.

The prairie-vibe Coach has become famous for is still in there, of course, in the form of pointed-toe boots, bolero-tie details on button-up dresses, in patchwork quilt prints and deep-hued florals.

It is somehow so totally COACH yet so totally fresh and new! It’s a darker kind of romance, jewel-toned brocades, dark navy plaids, shearling, suede and cozy Fair Isle Sweaters.

Last week I was FINALLY able to get my hands on this gorgeous collection at the Coach FW19 Trunk Show at the Coach Boutique in the Forum Shops at Caesars.

The collection has a wonderful aura of unisex style— from wallet chain details to creeper-esc boots and bolero-tie details.

I am head-over-heels with this mash-up of prairie meets rock-a-billy style Vevers has crafted for the season.

Think 1950’s British Teddy Boys meets Little House on the Prairie- and it’s so totally perfect!

After viewing the collection- and doing some shopping (which you will see in an upcoming OOTD) we were treated to the most delicious lunch at the brand new Water Grill in the Forum Shops.

How totally chic is this place setting!

The food was absolutely incredible!

We began with a Shellfish Platter that was seriously a work of art paired with fresh horseradish, cocktail sauce , mignonette and habanero-lime sauce.

The next course was a tasty mixed organic greens salad topped with shaved yellow beets..

..and then it happened.

THE MOST INCREDIBLE THING I THINK I HAVE EVER EATEN. Wild Ross Sea Chilean Sea Bass with Butternut Squash Gnocchi and Sage Brown Butter.

I cannot even explain how fantastic this was except to tell you that there was a collective OMG sigh and everyone’s eyes rolled back in their heads when the first bite of it hit their mouths. If you are in Vegas you NEED to go now to Water Grill and order this dish. Go NOW!

After we all regained our composure we finished off a wonderful afternoon of fashion and food with a chef’s selection of tasty desserts.

View the Coach FW19 Collection for yourself at Coach Forum Shops and stop in for a bite afterwards at Water Grill.

Trend Alert: Dark Romance

Fall 2019 has to be one of the most exciting fashion seasons we have seen in quite awhile.

Not only are the trends re-energizing my soul after a summer fashion season that left me feeling like “well I survived it”, they are also all so easily translatable from runway to reality- meaning you can ACTUALLY wear these trends!

One of my favorite Fall 2019 trends combines two parts of my fashion personality, my yin and yang, dark and romantic into one uber luxe trend: Dark Romance.

The Dark Romance trend takes motifs of unqualified femininity and gives them a sinister twist. It’s a perfect mashup of feminine and grunge elements. I’ve always been a fan of combining opposing style types into a single look, so I’m REALLY excited to have one more reason to pair something edgy with something sugary sweet.

Roses, lace, pouffy sleeves and ruffles are married with edgy leather, profuse panels of black velvet, fiery animal prints and sculptural armour-like shoulders. At Prada they went full horror film with Wednesday Addams braids and literal Frankenstein motifs alongside dainty cocktail dresses with wilted silk roses and Valentino debuted gowns donning red roses and lovelorn statues.

It really is a perfect study in contradictions.

So dig out those rose print high neck ruffle blouses you stored in the back of your closet, dust off that leather jacket, grab that gothic-esc lace skirt and some combat boots, slap on a dark vampy lip and give this trend a test-drive.
