Chunky Scarves and Detailed Jackets

As the temperature in the city starts to drop, the chunkier scarves and warmer jackets start to come out. Whether you use a scarf as a statement piece or as something you casually throw over a sweater or shirt, a scarf can add a significant amount of depth to an outfit. Plaid, bold colors or even plain black can make an outfit super comfy.  Depending on where you live, this is the time for you to pull out your transition coats. Cute transition coats with certain details, such as leather, can really make a piece stand out.  To us, the perfect transition coats are the ones that keep you warm but not to the point where you feel as if you are boiling hot. It's all about feeling comfortable, meaning you aren't going to feel super cold or hot in your perfect transition coat. Essentially, detailed jackets and chunky scarves are our essentials when transitioning into the colder months.




Francesca is wearing a darker toned ensemble with her navy J. Crew sweater paired with a navy and green plaid scarf. To give more emphasis on the blues in the outfit, she wore black Topshop jeans and a pair of tall black Stuart Weitzman boots.

Deena is wearing a toned down, grayscale coloured combination with an edge. While mixing metals between the hardware on her Vince Camuto jacket and the buckles on her Dolce Vita booties, she succeeds in accomplishing the biker girl look. Although she is wearing just a simple tee and a pair of black skinnies, the quilted details on the jacket dress up the whole outfit.

Knits & Lace for Brunch in Brooklyn

What's better than a fall knit and lacy bralette? At the moment, nothing compares! We are obsessed with the chic look a black lacy bralette gives under a light colored sweater, particularly white and cream. Lace bralettes are also a perfect summer transition piece for fall, no matter the colour, paired with a chunky knit, you'll be sure to be right on trend. As mentioned in out Fall Fashion Essentials post, chunky knit sweaters are a must for fall because they are so easy to layer and keep you warm on those breezier days. Additionally, chunky sweaters pair great with black leggings, which is one of our essential looks for the colder months. As always, it's all about comfort and style.







Deena is wearing a cozy ensemble, pairing a textured knit pullover and a lace halter bra from Urban Outfitters with paneled black leggings from Zara. To tie in with her black leggings, she threw on a pair of black booties from Franco Sarto and her Marc Jacobs cross-body.

Francesca is wearing a comfy combination consisting of a chunky knit sweater and a black lacy racer-back bralette, both from Urban Outfitters. To complete her comfy ensemble, she wore a pair of black shiny leggings from American Apparel. Since it was a bit cold out on the waterfront, Francesca threw on a leather and brushed cotton jacket from Walter Baker.

Bright Patterns and Neon Accents

Another  day at the office and keeping our fashion game strong. Though summer is coming to an end, bright and neon colours are still in. A great way to incorporate neon's into your everyday apparel is to wear a very neutral outfit and throw in touches of neon like with bracelets or shoes. Patterned shorts are also another way to throw in bright colours into your week of outfits, showing a bolder and more daring side of you.




Francesca wore a navy and white kimono she made herself over a white Brandy Melville tee, paired with Topshop's 'jamie' jeans, neon yellow Superga's and tortoise Ray-ban 'clubmaster's'. She also wore a neon yellow bracelet to tie back in with the neon sneakers.
