As summer moves into fall, it's got all of us thinking how we can transition our summer wardrobe into autumn-ready. Here's an outfit I would wear in this mid-weather range, as its not cool enough for a jacket quite yet (at least not here in Chicago)!

 What I'm Wearing: Ann Taylor Navy Blouse, Zara lace skirt, Badgely Mischka Bow Heels (purchased on sale at LastCall.com, NOW TAKE EXTRA 30% LISTED PRICE USING CODE 'FRIEND'), Marc by Marc Jacobs Tote (worth the money!), Burberry belt (bought with employee discount when I was interning for them). 

**Stingy Versions: Top, Skirt, Belt (a little expensive, but an exact look alike!), Bag, Shoes (now only $33)

Makeup: Estee Lauder Equalizer, Makeup Forever Foundation, Chanel Inimitable Mascara, Tarte Bronzer, Sephora 'Prisma Chrome' Eyeshadow, Anastasia Brow Powder in 'Golden Blonde', Smashbox 'Snappy' Lipgloss

PS- tonight I'm going to a special dinner at Markethouse with  a five-course meal made by the chef right at our table! Stay tuned for pictures!

What do you think of my outfit? What are you prioritizing in your wardrobe as we move into fall?

Last night was Fashion's Night Out which, needless to say, is a taxi cab driver's favorite/most dreaded night in New York City. Me and friends Elyssa, Kyle and Hillary set out to different boutiques to party hop, intending to only go to stores that were giving out food and alcohol (Barney's failed, Theory won because I ate three cookies.)

Pretty in Punk

Burberry Prorsum's S/S collection was a prime example this spring of the punk trend which is surely one look you can easily incorporate into your street look. If you don't think you can pull it off, incorporate some pretty feminine pieces too to have a balanced outfit that isn't TOO rough. Take these hard edged pieces (Leather, Snakeskin, and Studs--OH MY!) as inspiration for your next outfit: 

 

Whip out your bedazzler Stingies! 
Don't be afraid to add as many safety pins, or have a tailor add these studs!
