Fall Fashion Essentials

Fall is officially here and is probably the best if not second best season in the whole entire year. Not only do you get to start sipping warmer drinks, but the fall fashion is impeccable, i.e. the sweaters and the booties. Fall is the type of season where you don't have to dress incredibly warm but you don't have to dress incredibly cold, it's right there in the middle. As the colder days approach with winter being just a few months away, lets cherish the turning leaves and the slight fall breeze, and push aside the treacherous snow and incredibly huge puffy coats. Sweater Weather here we come.

Chunky Knit Sweaters

Chunky knit sweaters are a necessity throughout fall. As the weather gets a bit chillier, it's too hot for huge puffers and lined parkas and too cold for tank tops and tees, so by adding a sweater to your fall fashion, not only will you be in trend but you'll be all cozy and warm. 

Denim/Chambray Shirts

Topshop (Similar)

Denim and Chambray shirts are a great layering piece that you can wear under chunky sweaters or over a simple white top. Denim shirts can go in two different directions, casual and laid back with a pair of leggings or done up and on point with a cashmere sweater layered over and a pair of tall black boots. Denim shirts are also great if you're trying to stay warm because you can wear a tank or tee under and layer on a sweater on top with a leather jacket and you are instantly ten times warmer.

 Now that it's fall, it's time to transition to darker colours. Dark wash jeans are a must in the fall, they can transform any outfit from day to night and obviously summer to fall. You can either dress them down with an oversized cardigan or dress them up with white blouse and point toe heels. 

Vests

Vests are a perfect transition piece for fall because you can still wear 3/4 sleeved shirts and still stay warm with the comfort of a vest. Vest's are also great for the chillier days because you can pair them with a thick sweater and still stay warm throughout the pre-winter chills. As much as I love this leather jacket type zip in the front, I prefer vest with the middle zip for a more causal look when un-zipped. 

Army Green Coloured Jackets

J. Crew

Military jackets are a very popular trend throughout the fall season, but if you're not so into full on vintage army jackets, you can take it down a notch with army green coloured jackets. You can wear thees olive coloured jackets with any outfits, whether you want to wear jeans or a simple LBD, these types of jackets are very versatile. With these types of jackets, since they aren't so heavy, it gives you the leniency to throw a vest on top to give a causal layered look. 

Gold Watches

Marc by Marc Jacobs 'Amy Mini'

A watch is key for the fall, everyone is back in school or back at work, which means time is always on our minds. Not only do we strive to be on time, but we want the best arm candy, and a simple gold watch is a perfect way to spruce up a fall outfit. If gold isn't your thing, there's still silver and rose gold, both give the same affect. 

Chunky Socks

All Urban Outfitters

This is self explanatory, but overly chunky socks are the perfect fall staple. Chunky socks not only give comfort but work with any type of boot, Ankle booties or thigh high boots.

Black Ankle Booties

Jeffrey Campbell

Black booties are a must this fall, from chelsea boots to cut-out booties, all are right on trend. Black booties give a sleek, put together look and can be paired with anything from jeans to a pair of tights and a skirt.

Tall Boots

Stuart Weitzman 'The Mezza Mezza'

Tall boots are another must-have shoe for the fall time, doesn't matter what colour you choose, black, brown or grey, pair them with either chunky socks or an all black legging. I prefer to wear these particular Mezza Mezza boots from Stuart Weitzman with black leggings and a chunky sweater, so it gives that my boots blend together with my leggings.  Last fall and winter, these were the only boots I wore because not only do they give a bit of height with the 1 3/4 inch heel, but they dress up any outfit, even if you're wearing a bagging t-shirt and yoga pants. 

Dinner Date Anyone? | Momoya Review

Yesterday, the two of us went to a Japanese restaurant by the name of Momoya on the upper west side. Although it's not the fanciest of places we decided to throw together a dressier ensemble because who doesn't like to dress up every once and a while. 

When going out to dinner with friends, whatever your dress up in you want to feel comfy and confident, with that a perfect pair of wedges gives you the perfect combination of comfy and confident. We all have that one bottom that we never get to wear a lot because it's too dressy for school or work, so why not wear it out to dinner with a simple top to caus' down the outfit. 

Francesca is wearing a black butterfly back top with capped sleeves from Aritzia and a white skort also from Artitzia. To tie back into the black top, she wore black suede wedges from Charles David. The wedges give Francesca the height and comfort a pair of thin heeled sandals would.

Momoya was definitely one of the better Japanese restaurants we have been to. The service was good and the waiters were very attentive. We were placed in a circular booth, which meant we were on the same side of the table, but it was comfortable, however the tables were a bit close together so we could easily hear the table next to us conversation. But, that wasn't really an issue and we had a very enjoyable time. There were booths that were a bit more secluded which we would've preferred. The food was set up beautifully and considering it was a higher end Japanese restaurant- the prices were reasonably priced. Overall, we would- and plan- on going back to Momoya. 

White Shirts and Flowy Pants

As we always say, Comfort is Key, and when working 8 hour days for 3 days straight, a pair of pajama type pants that are acceptable to wear out in public is the way to go. For the past few months drawstring pants have been the it trend. With flowy drawstring pants you can dress them up or down, for a shopping filled day or a girls night out, pairing them with either comfy tees or a fashion-forward blouse. They can also be paired with a variety of shoes like strappy sandals or point toe pigalles, the options are endless, so have fun with it.

Deena is wearing a casual yet chic ensemble by pairing a basic white tee from Brandy Melville with an intriguing geo print pant from J. Crew. To complete the look and tie back into the white tee, Deena threw on some white sandals from Urban Outfitters.

Boyfriend Jeans and Printed Dresses

If you couldn't tell... we love to be comfortable. Thats why we tend to wear shift dresses, flowy shorts and boyfriend jeans. We opt for these options because they allow us to feel relaxed while still looking chic and fashionable. 

Wouldn't it be terrible to wear something that you felt uncomfortable in, especially when you're at work? Well, in our opinion it would be awful. Work this day was completely tiring but, the fact that we were wearing our comfy clothes made it just a bit easier. 

Also, you can never forget to accessorize with some cute sunnies and backpack or small tote ;)

Francesca styled her printed Zara dress with some black gladiators, black sunglasses, her Fendi bag and small gold accents. By adding these different accessories the outfit looks put together and ready for a day at work.

Deena put together her J.Crew boyfriend jeans with a light white tank top while also adding a blazer on top to make the outfit more appropriate for the office. She used her small Prada backpack inorder to store the blazer after work was over... trust us there was no need for the blazer in the sweltering heat of NYC.
