Describe the perfect, most comfortable shoes for the modern woman-on-the-go. Classic black flats. Heels are really not my thing, so I scoured stores forever until I found a pair of comfy, simple black flats. I love them to death because they can be paired with absolutely any outfit. I literally wear them almost every day. Do you have a favorite place to shop? I’ll admit it: I shop for clothes almost exclusively at H&M now. I don’t know why, but I just love the pieces they put out. They’re my style and in my budget, so I like to keep it simple and just get everything there! How do you keep your skin looking and feeling its best during the fall? I’ve been naughty with my beauty blogging so far this month, and I’ve let my normal skin care routine go out the door. However, once I have time to switch out my usual products, I’ll be adding in hydrating face masks, cranberry toner pads, and a light but intensely hydrating moisturizer to cope with the colder weather. What’s one thing that you think is the biggest fall​trend, or is soon-to-be? Everyone says knitwear is going to be a big trend. Sweaters for fall? Groundbreaking. But I think the 70’s bohemian chic style is going to be a big trend. It was a big hit on the F/W 2014 runways, with Michael Kors doing my favorite take on it. I love the earthy palette and of course, big brown boots!

For those who need a bit more convincing to embrace the changing of seasons, allow me to direct your attention to H&M’s new Studio Fall/Winter 2014 collection. Appropriately released on September 4, 2014, a.k.a. Day 1 of New York Fashion Week, the new fall/winter collection “revolves around strong contrasts” and is all about “capturing a playful and charming bohemian style.” The brand encourages its customers to mix and match each piece for the ultimate chic look. Pair glittery, sequined dresses with biker jackets and combat boots, or go crazy with warm knits, transparent layers, and geometric leggings.
