Get the Look: Mens Fall Casual

Since it's officially layering season (even in LA)... For men, I'm sticking to a favorite; a great cardigan which is so essential right now. For everyday casual, it's all about chunky knits. Love, love this style by Vince. Definitely not your grandpa's cardi, fabulous texture and classic peacoat design modernized with a zipper. Bonus hood! A plaid shirt in dark cherry is a great fall color; nice slim fit on this one. More layering with a gray or white tee (optional). Streamline the look with dark straight leg denim and black lace-up boots. Love the cool ruggedness of these Bed Stus; gives it a military-inspired feel. Finish with tonal accessories. Done.


Note: More style options with the Chukka Boot.

Celeb Style: Halle Berry Is Easy Chic With Rebecca Minkoff

Easy Chic = casual yet effortless. I think Halle Berry epitomizes the term with her everyday wardrobe. A mommy myself, it's a mainstay. Looove what she's doing with her denim looks; easy, cool with a touch of edge. Seen around town in leather jackets, jersey tees, distressd skinny denim, and flat moto boots. Looks like she's also found a new favorite bag "The Nikki" by Rebecca Minkoff. The slouchy shape is one of my fall faves and love that it's oversized. More info on the bag at www.rebeccaminkoff.com

Fabulous for Less Under $250: Girls Night Out

Sometimes we just need to get away... A night out with the girls for dinner, drinks, and maybe some dancing. Gotta look gooood in that little dress!!


The Look: I've always had a thing for beautiful draping and this Rachel Rachel Roy just takes it to the next level. The all-over ruching is so flattering and contrasting sheer back super sexy. Not too tight just skimming your curves. They'll definitely notice and we love that! Accent this look with a gorgeous oversized clutch, platform booties, and gold jewelry; a cocktail/statement ring, glam bangle, and simple hoops (optional).

Note: Peep-toes are the perfect fall shoe and great for showing off those pedis. When temps cool, add a blazer or leather jacket and finish with a sleek round toe bootie.

Gotta Have It: French Connection Jordan Baker Cardigan

I love mixing a little toughness into my fall looks. And this cardigan by French Connection has just enough metal to take your everyday style from basic to standout. Layer with a graphic tee, add skinnies, and a flat boot in shades of gray or tans. Gotta have it!!
