We're talking faux leather Accents for Fall

Hope all my Fashion Heads had a great weekend like I did. I had a busy one filled with family, friends, and quality time with my hard working hubby, aawwww. This weekend weather wise was a little on the chillier side as compared to the hot and humid-as-hell weather New York has been having this summer, so I took full advantage of this and went a little "Pre-Fall gazing". I did some running around on Saturday to my local outlets and shopped for a dress to wear for a my Aunt's September wedding. And I believe I found the perfect one, she's getting married on a rooftop bar in NYC, pictures I will come soon. But the reason I mention this dress is largely because of this trend I am tickled with excitement for, hmmm, it's leather/faux leather accents. I'm no animal activist type, but if I can spare animal's skin for the name of fashion I will because I am the animal lover type. So here are some pics of me "Pre-Fall" outfit as well as some faux/leather accent pieces you can add to your wardrobe for Fall. Zara has some great reasonably priced items and then if you want to splurge a little there are other options as well. Enjoy it!

Here we have me in my front yard, pics thanks to my hubby. I got this great faux leather sleeved shirt from Lesters, a chain clothing store in my area, this is the exact type of mixing I talk about with the hard and soft look, the leather gives it that edge, but not making you look like you just parked your motor cycle some where. I love these jeans because this summer its been about LOUD jeans, that being colors and prints, these are great because they aren't screaming at you in a bold color but still have some spunk saying look at me and the secret garden I have on my legs. OMG and these sneakers or aka swedges as some like to call them, they are Steven Madden's knock-off  look-a-like to Isabel Marrants, these of course are a lot more affordable to the average woman, and super comfy and shit, they look just like the Marrants to me without the price tag. So for the look for less these are an A+. Lastly are another set of wanna-be sunnies (Jeremy Scot), yes you might get strange looks whilst wearing them, but secretly I'm waiting for them to start flapping and take me on a magical Peter Pan voyage, "I'M FLYING!" so that obvi is the plus!

Here are some of my style Snap Shots via Instagram!

Style I believe always evolves, some people are trend setters and some are trend followers, I like to be some where in between. I don't ever want to be to trendy, I like to have pieces that I can have year to year that never go out of style. I would describe my style as Pretty Rocker Chic, I like hard but soft girly clothes. I always love a good spike, stud, skull or camo, and then I like pretty flowy blouse with some floral. I like to call myself goldy locks, because I always like things to be "just right" never to cold or to hot or to hard or soft, I want it to be JUST RIGHT, lol. So here are some of my favorite looks from my summer, so far cuz it ain't over just yet.

A lot of inspiration came from my favorite instragram-ers. Where did you find inspiration this summer?

So this is a little bit of me, and when i tell you how excited I am about fall, a kid in a candy shop would be and understatement. As you can see I'm a big fan of Zara, didn't realize how much until i captioned all these WOW. I like high and low designers, unfortunetly not everyone is as fortunet to be able to buy Givenchy, Ysl, Rodarte, Alexander Wang everthing , that would be a dream come true though. I love to mix and match, not everything you wear has to break the bank and finding stores like Zara, Topshop, H&M can be great alternatives. What have been your favorite buys from a low priced store that had a HUGE pay off?
