AUTUMN

When the leaves start to turn and the air gets a little crisp, I know it's time to bring out my favorite fall and winter footwear: suede boots! There's just something about their soft, velvety feel that makes any outfit look a little more cozy and put-together. I used to be a fashion buyer, so I've seen a lot of trends come and go, but suede boots are a classic that never goes out of style. They look just as good with a pair of jeans and a chunky sweater as they do with a cute dress and tights. They’re super versatile for any cold weather look. A lot of people worry about keeping them clean, but with a little bit of care, you can keep your favorite pair of boots looking brand new for years. They are a great investment for your wardrobe.

I love making autumn outfits feel effortless with a fall capsule wardrobe built from fewer pieces that mix-and-match. As a former fashion buyer and designer, I lean on neutrals and warm tones, cozy knitwear and sweaters, classic jeans and dresses, a smart coat, ankle boots and scarves. Layering and texture are the secrets—light layers for sunny afternoons, heavier ones for crisp mornings. With simple accessories and versatile staples you get minimalist styling, easy seasonal transition, and a closet that works for work, weekends, and travel.
