Love the messy hair and the jacket/dress combos. Perfect for running chic errands on a crisp fall day.

Cher: The early days

I admire Cher. She has always taken pride in her looks. Lately, she is over-the-top but still captivating. In the 60s and 70s, she was really breathtaking. Long and lean with hair noir. She has never been afraid to take sartorial risks and therefore remains iconic.

Vintage Gloves

As the weather cools, I’m really into gloves, particularly wrist length, vintage or otherwise. They are easily findable on ebay and a fashionable way to overcome the chills.

Copy these Style Basics from Elin Kling

Elin Kling is Sweden’s “It Girl” and she has her own personal style blog that is full of outtakes from her glamorous life. She rocks tailored pants, loose tees and jackets. Obviously she has great style and I think what I like most is that her look seems totally do-able. She utilizes staples such as leather pants, scarves, sneakers, jackets, t-shirts and a floppy fedora.

All these adorable faux-fur toppers are under $50 from ASOS. Any favorites? I think I’m partial to the first one, although the fourth one is slightly amazing in a hilarious way.

Pretty, Pretty Purple

To me, this is glorious. Purple is such a lovely color with so many hues and varieties. It’s just as beautiful in the fall/winter as it is in the spring/summer. The surrounding Jacarandas obviously bring the color to life (and make me desperate for spring) but the color itself is also moving. Purple can be worn by people of all complexions and hair colors. I especially want to mix a lavender blouse with a plum pant. I’m even partial to a dark violet smoky eye.

When Nothing Goes Right

Do you ever have one of those days when nothing is working? Yeah, they are usually Mondays.  Anyway, these things are uplifting me from my melancholy.
