Going along with the theme of off-duty, decided to pull together some of my favorite fall styles from some of my top model/blogger gals. Well, all but Happily Grey, she's a nurse which is pretty awesome. Now not all models have great style off the runway or away from the camera - they just tend to look good in whatever they're outfitted in. But these girls have blown me away time and time again when it comes to personal style. Also, skinny and distressed denim is a clear favorite among the group and full of wonderful possibilities when it comes to FASHUN. haha.
The Essentials: September 2014
I'm thinking boots, boots, and more boots for fall along with not-so-basic staples.
Yes it's true, I am gravitating towards lots of neutrals now. Probably because my closet is overflowing with color. So to increase my style options, buying neutrals is always a good idea! And since I did so well saving my cash last month (ugh, so many temptations too!!) I might as well pretend I'm going back to school and refresh my closet.

Cozy Fall Essentials
One thing I really love about Models when they're "off-duty" is their ability to layer every day basics. Literally they throw on a bunch of layers and just head out the door.
Sunglasses: Asos (similar here) Sweater: c/o Life is Good Tank: Zara (Under $7!!) Purse: Asos Leggings: Lyssé Bracelet: c/o The Sak (Left + Right) Rings: c/o Zoetik Shoes: Nicole via DSW Bronzer: Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil Bronzer
Well... If they can do it and look gorgeous then so can all of us! Decided to start off the month with the most coziest of all outfits normally spotted our long limbed friends: leggings and sweats. Preferred weapon of choice when it comes to leggings are these twist zip leggings from Lyssé. They're easy to dress down and up, fabric is thicker, and they're made to slim anyone up and hold it all in.
Another favorite is my Life is Good's Beach Sweater. There have been many a nights where I end up passing out in this sweater just because I'm so comfortable (or lazy, can go either way). And yes, both of these pieces make layering a cinch.
Also... CAN YOU BELIEVE IT'S ALREADY SEPTEMBER?! The only plus side to fall's arrival is a lower Con Ed (hallelujah) which means new running sneakers which means more running. Ugh, Con Ed is really the bane of my existence.
