Stuart Weitzman 'Highland' Boots Review & Lessons In Fall Layering

Stuart Weitzman Highalnd boots were on my lust-list for over an year and finally I took the plunge! And let me tell you, they are so worth it! The instant iconic status they got since their debut is well deserved. I love the fit, look and of course the buttery texture of the suede. If you are on the fence about getting them, go ahead and indulge. They fit true to size (they are on the skinnier side on the calves, so if you wear wide shaft boots, you might find them to be a bit tight, They are stretchy though) I am 5'8" and they come well over the knees for me, exactly the look I was going for (not the thigh high). I love them and can't wait to style them with dresses this winter!

I am a big fan of layering but I don't like to add bulk with thick pieces (sometimes that is inevitable though, learned it hard way when I lived in Chicago!). Instead, I like to keep warm with layering shirts and sweaters under a jacket. I think a chic, stylish layering look starts with a crisp button front shirt. I have found the 'best-for-fall-layering' button down shirt that is fitted and lightweight to avoid bulk and long enough for me. The JCrew Endless Shirt is really a wardrobe workhorse that will last you season after season!

Hat - H&M (last year) , Very similar options from ASOS / Nordsrom

Fur Vest - Forever 21(last year) / Great fur vests option from Forever 21 this year too!

Lookbook : Factory City Coat, Vince Camuto 'Karita' Over The Knee Boots

This weekend was a relaxing and entertaining one complete with noir movie marathon and Halloween candies! I love love love Fim noir. I love the stories, the suspense, the psychological twists and the fashion! Where the men always wear dapper hats and suave trench coats and women have chic shoulder pads, midi length dresses with itty bitty waists and well-coiffed hair! And don't forget the 'dames' who will do you in if you get too comfortable!

My outfit today however, doesn't have the shoulder pads or tiny waist. I opted for a layered look to combat sudden dip in temperature after a day of rain in New York area. This wool blend JCrew Factory City Coat keeps my body warm and my mood happy with its pretty green color. 

 My Vince Camuto Karita boots are getting a lot of screen time again this Fall. They are super comfortable and go with everything!

 Coat - JCrew Factory City Coat

Boots - Vince Camuto 'Karita' Over the Knee

Influenster Moda Vox Box Review

 If you like to try new products before buying the big sizes, the influenster community is the place you need to be! I recently became a member of influenster community and got my first 'Moda Vox Box''. It is literally a box full of great goodies - from make up to body care to yummy treats, influenster vox boxes are just amazing. For my first voxbox, I got Hair Food Moisturizing Hair Mask (available at Target). This  honey and apricot infused mask is super soft and rich and made my hair softer and smoother when I used it as a conditioner (for more than 2 minutes though). It is paraben free and I  love the smell! The tube design that makes it so easy to use. No dipping fingers in a wide moth jar while the water runs over your eyes!! 

I also got  Rimmel London lipstick in color 'Berry Rose' that is a deep rose pink and I really loved it. The lipstick is very smooth with a little bit of shine and deep, rich pigment. Suits my olive skin tone. I also loved the Rimmel invisible lip liner that prevents the lipstick to smudge out of the lip line and I can use it with any color lipstick!!

 Another beauty item in the box was Rimmel London scandal eyes mascara with a unique curvy brand. As a mascara fanatic, I always welcome a new tube in my beauty arsenal and this mascara is really good. Gives instant volume and curl to my lashes!

With winters fast approaching, the Jergens ultra healing moisturizer in the box was a really useful product for me. I have oily face but my hands, arms and legs are dry. This lotion is really nourishing and makes my hands so soft even after one use! LOVE this!!

 Influenster moda vox box also contained a bottle of Resource natural spring water with electrolytes. I love the fact that this bottle was made of 50% recycled plastic. Good for body and good for environment! A total win win!

 Just like the creamy lotion, this box had one other winter must haves in it! Who doesn't love a cup of delicious hot chocolate during Fall/Winter? The new Swiss Miss 'Simply Cocoa' hot cocoa mix has just 5 natural ingredients without any artificial colors or preservatives gives a smooth cup of hot chocolate that I plan to enjoy, cuddled up on the couch in front of my sunny living room window!!

 The box also had this pretty pastel printed box of Puffs tissues. The design is instantly cheerful and the tissues are string yet flexible for cleaning up messes from little hands to wipe the tears I always have watching Holiday movies!

Are you a member of Influenster community? If yes, how have you liked your boxes so far?
