For NYFW I had the opportunity to collaborate with a few amazing companies, one of which was Elaine Turner! I was able to take the gorgeous Ally crossbody with me, and loved how transitional this piece was. Here I will share with you all of the ways I styled the Ally, and what essentials I carried with me from show to show.
From day to day, evening to evening, my style changed dramatically and yet this bag was able to seamlessly compliment each look perfectly. One of the best features I would like to call out about this bag is that the chain strap is actually removable; perfect for converting the bag into an evening clutch. The gold hardware and embossed snake print make this piece such an elegant accessory.
Essentials
So my essentials from show to show included: gum, granola bars, sunglasses, my phone, wallet and a lippie, all of which fit perfectly in this crossbody! I will add that gum and snacks are super important to have with you during NYFW because you have zero time to eat, and are constantly talking and introducing yourself to people.
Couture
The talented Danny Nguyen allowed me the opportunity to wear a few of his pieces to NYFW, which was totally a dream! I selected a gold embroidered cream jacket and mesh lace shirt, both of which have gorgeous details and embellishments. For both of these looks I carried the Ally as a clutch!
Street Style
For the GCDS show I wore ripped jeans, velvet and embellished pieces so a clutch was also the perfect pairing. The texture of the Ally added additional dimension and appeal to this look!
Classic Chic
This was my absolute favorite way at style the Ally. With a chic black dress, oversized sunnies and tall black boots. The “all black look” is so timeless, but received an update with mixed prints of plaid and snake print. Also, the chain crossbody strap added such a luxurious touch to the look and amplified my ensemble.
So no matter your style, the Ally is a perfect match for any ensemble, and is my fall pick for the perfect lightweight bag. For this bag and other amazing pieces check out Elaine Turner!
Here I go with transitioning apparel again! Since I live in Texas, we get to wear our shorts a little longer than everyone else! This look is a fun mix of the best of fall and summer all in one!
I created this look with a desire to wear fall colors, but in a comfortable way! To make that happen, I paired my favorite white Old Navy shorts with a maroon turtleneck from Boohoo. The two contrasting pieces come together with the perfect accessories!
Accessories
This elegant statement necklace by Stella and Dot is actually convertible! You have the option to wear it with the long strands or just as a short piece. I personally like to wear the long strands to the back. Its such a cool piece! The necklace is made of beautiful beads in mixed metals with an S hook clasp for easy switch-ability.
I also chose a fun pair of tortoise print sunnies for this look, a faux fur cheetah print belt from Express (similar) and exposed side booties that I purchased at Stage. (Similar)
So even if you are like me and live in a warmer climate, you can start wearing your fave fall colors are embracing the trends with alternative bottoms…shorts! The accessories are all you need to really make the ensemble work!
