Printed in Black and White

Long sleeves / Harlow and Graham cardigan / Paige Denim jeans / Chelsea boots / Kate Spade tote (similar)
Prior to leaving for New York last month, I needed to shop for some fall wardrobe items for the cooler East coast weather. I was excited for the change of weather since Los Angeles has been late on the fall memo. I needed something warm to bundle-up in and a carry-on bag that I could use while traveling and while I'm out and about the city.

I took a quick trip to my local Nordstrom Rack to check out what they have, and found more than what I needed. I was really surprised and excited to have found this Kate Spade tote marked down to 63% off its retail price. It was the perfect carry-on bag for my trip. It fit my laptop, dslr camera, and everything else that I needed in my carry-on.






Since I realized that the majority of the pants that I currently own right now are distressed (aka has holes in them), I needed a pair to bring with me that would keep me warm. I browsed around for the other items that I needed, and found these Paige Denim coated skinny jeans. They easily became my favorite after trying them on and realizing how they fit me like a glove. It can be a bit of a challenge sometimes finding a good pair of jeans when you're petite. These pants were the perfect fit on my waist and the length. They were also comfortable enough to wear during my five hour flight to New York. I decided to pick-up another pair of Paige Denim jeans in grey to bring for my trip.

As I was about to check-out and leave the store, this cardigan caught my eye. The print definitely drew me in, but it won me over when I realized that it's basically a hybrid between a cardigan and a blanket scarf. It's perfect to layer underneath a coat or to snuggle-in during a long flight. I also love how this added some interest in an all black outfit. It’s always also a bonus when you receive compliments on your outfit!

Suede Babe Fall Lookbook: Bees Knees

H&M pullover / Forever 21 faux leather scallop shorts / Forever 21 knee high boots (comes in two colors) / Karen Walker Sunglasses / Daniel Wellington watch
Here's the last look from my latest lookbook video. If you missed the first blog posts on the first two outfits you can find click here and here to read all about it.



This is probably my favorite outfit out of all three of them. It's probably because I've been looking for new fall boots and I'm completely obsessed with these boots that I've been wearing them every chance that I get.

And, I know I didn't have the sunglasses in the video (since we shot the video later in the day), but I really love my new Karen Walker Number One sunglasses. This pair has been on my wishlist for a quite some time now, but I recently just bought them a month ago when Shopbop had their friends and family sale. I love how the glasses frames my face, and it doesn't touch my cheek. The frames are also lightweight, yet sturdy. I love the classic look and feel of it that it'll be probably one of the glasses that I'll be wearing for a very long time. They're easily my new favorite pair now.

Suede Babe Fall Lookbook Video: Moto Rider

Ro & De Noir top / Paige Denim grey skinnies / H&M suede moto jacket / Zara boots / Quay x Shay sunglasses (similar frame and on sale!)
I've been fighting off this cold or flu or whatever I caught last week. I've been laying like a blob and being miserable these past few days. It's been a real struggle haha. I'm just glad that I'm feeling a wee bit better now.

Here's look number two from my recent Fall Lookbook video. If you haven't seen it yet, I've put together three different looks with three different suede pieces from my closet. I posted the first look last week here.

I always get so excited when I can pull something old from my closet and wear it again. It's sort of a validation that I can shop for pieces that will be on rotation for years. I've had this jacket for a few years now... ever since my hair was still long (see post here)! I'm all about trying to maximize the wear of my clothes, so when I spotted this moto jacket, I knew it would always be a closet staple for me. The color was a nice change to my usual black or olive green jackets.




Having a suede jacket in your closet is like having a sister for your favorite leather jacket. Suede just adds a different texture and feel to any outfit. It feel rich and it's just soft to touch. Below are some of my picks that I'm currently lusting over.

Suede Babe Fall Lookbook Video: Skirting Around

Crop top / H&M suede skirt / Forever 21 hooded parka / Chelsea boots / Zara backpack
It's finally cold enough for me to wear my coats and jackets! Per usual, LA was tardy to the party, but better late than never. It was odd that just a week ago that we were still experiencing hot summer weather. Once Halloween was over, the temperature dipped down to 50's. It went from 90's to 50's... real quick.

Last night, I posted my Suede Babe Fall Lookbook on my Youtube channel (the video is also embedded below after the jump for your viewing pleasure). This is the first look from the lookbook video. I wore a similar look to my friend's, Heart, SK-II event in New York. Since it was a bit more nippy in the east coast, I opted for some knee high socks to keep the legs warm.

Summer to Fall Lookbook: Crocheted Top

H&M crocheted crop top and faux leather skirt / long black cardigan / JustFab mules / Forever 21 choker necklace
Here's the third and final look from my Summer to Fall Lookbook video (here are the first and second outfits in case you missed it). This look is a little more on the dressier side. But just because it got a little bit cooler, doesn't mean you can't wear your crochet top anymore. It's all about just layering. I really like pairing my crochet tops with high waisted anything. Even better if the clothing item you're pairing it with is made out of faux leather for extra warmth.
