Neutrals | Patterns: Hunt Edition.

Gearing up for "The Hunt" this weekend? Every year, hunt goers come dressed to impress and this year's 93rd meeting is no different. However, as you prep for a day some closely relate to as "Christmas morning", keep a couple things in mind while you put your best (fashion) foot forward: 

-Wear layers.

-Water proof shoes (or shoes you don't mind scuffing up a bit)

-Bring your sunnies (and maybe a festive koozie!)

 -Something to hold anything else you might need such as a bag or an awesome pocket belt like the one below. 

Happy Hunting!

Edgy Meets Classic.

With fall activities in full swing, there couldn't be a better time for iconic British brand, Hunter, to team with rag & bone to deliver an updated version of their coveted rain boot. While slipping into our Hunters is possibly the only thing we have to look forward to on a rainy day, it is practically a must-wear rain or shine for fall festivities that take place on an open field with some bevies in hand. 

The styles come in tall and short and I love the hardware and two tone detailing that separate the collaborative creations from the Hunter classics.  Passing by the collection in rag & bone's Houston Street location the other day, they caught my eye even before I realized it was an effort in partnership with Hunter. The only downfall is the price --at around $300 a pair (the short boots are slightly less at $265), would you splurge on these or stick with the classics?

I love pairing black and brown for fall and have found myself in these colors together a lot recently. It's funny how rules of fashion's past are now meant and encouraged to be broken. I paired J.Crew's schoolboy blazer in heather with a black on black ensemble. Simple and (now) classic.
