Looks by Larissa: Black and Tan

The chilly afternoon sunlight filtered through the clouds as a friend and I took a walk outside by the wooded area around the house. This day reminded me of crips autumn days, so I opted for a soft brown suede vintage blazer, which is the perfect blend of classy and laid back. I’ve found that suede blazers are relatively easy to come by when you're vintage shopping, so keep an eye out for them!

My leather wedges are from Aldo and I adore them; they are so simple and basic. The heel gives me extra height, but they are not ridiculously tall, which makes them great for day wear because you can rock them with anything from pants to a little black dress. The basic gray and black-striped top is from H&M, which is my go-to for almost all of my basics. Lately, I've been into high-waisted, wide-leg jeans, so I found some old vintage Levi's and rolled them up. Ta-da, comfy, fabulous jeans!

Saddle Up in Style

Horseback riding is now the official most chic sport in the world of fashion. Darlings, saddle up, because the equestrian look is in.

Dressing like a true equestrian is like going for a leisurely (and stylish) ride through the rolling country side. Over-the-knee boots in rays of rich chocolate browns will do for fancy footwork. Oxford blouses buttoned up to the neck will not only be warm on these wintery days, but will also add a preppy, polished appearance to any outfit. Layering a fitted blazer over the blouse will guarantee a blue ribbon for best dressed in the saddle.

For a low key equestrian approach, feel free to pony up with leather gloves and toasty quilted jackets. All of these looks are hot to trot.

Tweed Trend for Fall/Winter

As the temperature begins to drop, adorn yourself with this casual classic. Tweed is the quintessential cozy cover up and, this season, it comes in varying textures and silhouettes. The iconic look bred by Coco Chanel herself can be replicated today with a tweed blazer and collared shirt.

For a perfectly polished look, pair a tweed skirt with a cropped leather jacket and booties. Sport a pair of tweed fitted trousers or a tweed pleated skirt with a light weight jacket in autumn hues. The tweed trend can be modernized by mixing textures, such as adding a fur stole, a scarf in vibrant prints, or a snakeskin clutch.
