The Landscape of Life with Easy and Versatile Pieces

Is it because I am getting older?  Is it because I live in London?  Or is it because I have finally stepped outside of myself that I have noticed just how amazing the world around me is.  No matter the reason I love the change!  This post is really about how easy versatile pieces can be incorporated  into your wardrobe but we did this shoot in Notting Hill where I was immediately inspired to address my love for the landscape of my life! I, literally mean, my everyday surroundings.  Every time I leave the house I am mesmerized by how beautiful the same common I walk through daily (sometimes three or four times daily) is or just how gorgeous my high street is.  Upon entering a new neighborhood I am in awe of the scenery- the cute little cafe, the sweet children’s store, the beautiful cathedral… just everyday things.

Okay, onto the outfit details- that’s why you are here right?!? While shooting we were on a pursuit for pink.  I mean, when in Notting Hill you must find something pink.  Luckily, we found more than a few and I loved every single one.  I am completely and utterly in LOVE with these faux leather leggings.  For my ladies in colder climates these are perfect as they are lined which makes them quite warm.  Even in a warmer location you really need these... seriously.  They are one of the easiest and most comfortable fall/winter trends to wear.  At first I was a bit turned off by the leather look feeling it was a bit edgy but this post should prove that wrong.  Leather leggings are perfect for everyday casual, dressed up date night or an afternoon out with girlfriends.  They are extremely versatile and an absolute must for any fashionista!

Continuing on with the easy versatile pieces for your wardrobe lets discuss this sweater and the perfect pair of sip-ons.   I am a sucker for a cozy turtleneck tunic and this cream beauty is now on repeat.  It is soft, extremely warm and easy to pair with just about anything making it very versatile. It is perfect with a pleated skirt, distresssed denim or velvet skinnies  If you haven’t noticed, or this post has not convinced you, I am a sucker for easy, versatile wear-again pieces.. enter these slip-ons. Not only do they compliment the perfect leggings but they also are a go to for all my outings and park dates with Declan.  I wear them constantly… rain or shine!

Rain or shine I am always amazed at how beautiful life is– when I simply take a second glance or stop and look at what is right in front of me I am stunned at how easy and versatile life really is. Learning to appreciate the world around me was not something I set out to do; it came naturally only as I begin to appreciate life, in general.  It became apparent there was so much to be inspired by- including my everyday surroundings.  I am lucky to live in a place I absolutely love and find utterly beautiful.  The landscape and the backdrop of my life are starting to play more of a role in my everyday wardrobe choices… the scenery is amazing, why shouldn’t the clothes be amazing?  Snag some easy and versatile pieces and get out and appreciate your world-  it is beautiful!

With Love,

P.S. Happy Halloween!
