My Fall Statement Pieces: Animal Print, Oxblood-Colored Anything, and Dainty Detailed Jewelry

In Los Angeles the fall season is taking a bit longer to come than expected, but boy am I ready for it! I haven't always been a minimalist when it comes to fashion, but details have always been important to me. This fall season I have fallen in love with three trends: animal print, oxblood colored pants, and of course dainty yet sparkly jewelry, and the key to each one of these fall trends is to keep it simple, and not to over-do it.

If you know me, you know I'm fierce and have mad love for animals so trust me when I tell you anything animal print screams my name. Wearing animal prints are tricky though, you have to be careful you don't overdo it because you could end up as a jersey-shore look-a-like. My favorite way to wear animal print is either as a top or as an accent on a clutch or handbag. Most important part is to wear it as minimally as possible or else you run the risk of having your outfit look too busy. 

Oxbloood, "Ew whats that" totally not actual blood on clothing guys, calm down. Oxblood is a term for a color that is a rich maroon-burgundy color and its sooo delicious for the fall season. It's the perfect color to rock on your lips, handbags, or even pants: my favorite way to rock them. Speaking for myself, I know the color black has taken over my closet, and oxblood is the perfect color to throw into the mix to help you liven up your wardrobe all while staying edgy and mysterious. 

Its no secret that I love me some jewelry, and some sparkles, but my favorite type will always be dainty, detailed pieces of jewelry. Why? Because its so versatile and you can wear it with any kind of outfit, dress it up, dress it down, and my favorite reason.. layering! Dainty detailed jewelry is the perfect kind whether you're wearing jeans and a t shirt, jeggings and a tank, or even a fancy dress. The more intricate, delicate, and sparkly your jewelry is the better! 

Remember: fall is the perfect time for layering and multiple trends at a time, but the key is simplicity and detail-oriented-ness. Rock that animal print, oxblood colored pieces and those dainty detailed accessories and I promise you compliments will be rolling your way!

Just Pin It!

We all know fall is upon us, and leather jackets will be the go to look. Lets not be boring girls, lets rock our leather jackets with this hot fall look: PINS! I have always had the slightest obsession with do-it-yourself fashion projects and this might be the easiest one to do! All you gotta do is collect pins that represent your personal style and attach them to a leather good that you have. I have been following PINTRILL for about a year and a half now, and have never had a reason to buy these pins because I never fully knew what I would do with them & now it is clear that I need to invest in a couple pins to stay up to date with falls latest trend. As an avid leather-jacket wearing girl, I know that my new favorite way to rock pins is definitely gonna be on my leather jacket, or other leather goods. My personal opinion? Get yourself a faux leather jacket or a simple leather clutch and place pins all over it. Make sure you grab the latest pins from PINTRILL. Here are a view of my faves from the brand :

Just in case y'all didn't believe me, here's proof that pins are a trend to rock this fall: Jared Leto rockin' pins on his leather jacket at the VMA's last night.
