On the Dot + Fall Hitlist #2

On the Dot

Two for one: Today it’s two times the fun with options for polka dot tops, high waist black trousers, belted or tied with a bow. Get some pattern play going with a big cat slide, or amp it up with some crimson heels. Add a red lip. For bonus points, try In Style’s suggestion for a new take on the cat eye:

Stay Golden

Stay Golden

Headed to a birthday party… with live steel drum band. I’m wearing a hand painted silk top with bat wing sleeve, and depending on how much I need to carry, how much the temperature drops and how long I’ll be on my feet … the rest will figure itself out. I can hear the music already!

Fringe Mentality

Fringe Mentality

Keeping it crisp in a white linen tunic, thick black leggings, chunky boots and a statement necklace. Swap in, or out, a bag for a versatile outfit. I wore this today at work, with my ‘cat lady’ purse… purrrrfect for carrying all my stuff and a delicate balance between old lady and awesome.

My purse (not the one in the photo) is a medium brown, much more substantial piece with studs on the flat bottom and a shoulder/cross body strap. However, the embroidery is pretty much in line with the image above.

Dark Blooms

Dark Blooms

A coy nod to Pretty Little Liars’ character Vivienne Darkbloom, this maxi dress uses a dark backdrop to highlight feminine florals. My favourite fringed black purse and some geometric jewelery add some hard lines to this otherwise soft look. Also taking my new Topshop Mid-heel slingbacks for a spin: heaven! Maybe even throw on a floppy black hat for added mystery and moodiness.
