WARDROBE ESSENTIALS: SLOUCHY HAT

Throughout high school I was such an accessory girl, always wearing a slouchy beanie or beret and a scarf of some sort. This fall I have yet to find my go-to finishing touches (minus a leopard scarf that I wear with EVERYTHING), though this thick knit cable beret from Bop Basics has me obsessed.

Rag & Bone Tribeca Leather Shift Dress

Such perfection in the design, the leather make and honey-cognac colour just puts it over the top. It would be a versatile piece in every woman's wardrobe at every age, whether dressed up for work or worn casually on a weekend out in the city.

Masahiko Maruyama SS11 Lookbook - Nude

Draped basics filled up this Japanese brand's spring/summer 2011 lookbook, rightfully named "Nude," for its minimalist silhouettes. Veering away from jolting brights, the brand's adoption of black, white, and sometimes grey worked perfectly with the simple, and at times dainty clothing. Check out more of the lookbook here.

Low Rider

Acne Rider Low leather boots, $482, gargyle.com. So badass without embellishments. I love these boots for all seasons; definitely a good wardrobe investment piece for its versatility. It's a classic take on this season's trendy ankle bootie with a low heel and neutral color.
