sexiest country

     This was my last outfit during the San Francisco visit.  With fall right around the corner and fashion houses starting to release their fall collections, common trends across various designers were tweeds and the incorporation of vibrant colors (refer to my Paul Smith Fall/Winter 2013 Collection article).  

     Cold weather outfits can be at times dull and weighed down by drab colors and heavy materials, so an easy solution is layering something lightweight and colorful under the chunkier pieces.  In the following outfit, I paired a neon green vest under a classic tweed blazer to keep warm, but at the same time, not drown in dull fall colors.

     First, I'd like to give thanks to EST Apparel for the great bag.  

     I've recently tried to get into more racing after watching one of the greatest unknown movies, Drive.  If you haven't seen it, then go rent it now.  It's a nod to 70's and 80's action drama with a Miami Vice/Scarface twist.  It will definitely go down as a cult movie.

I've recently been inspired by camo but have been having a hard time knowing how to wear it.  There was a print ad on Nordstrom website that sparked my interest.  Designers have been using camo from everything from bags to different clothing items.  I decided to go conservative with pants and pair it with various other heavy items.  Because the camo is such a bold statement piece, I needed to ground it with heavy material and prints.





The Fair Isle print scarf and plaid calmed down the outfit.  The heavy wool jacket pulled everything together.


I chose to go with heavy camp socks to blend the utilitarian feel of the pants.  Paired dark distressed suede chukkas to ground it all out.
