During a recent shoot with photographer Greg Easton I was myself in all aspects, and had such a blast! Glitzy, glam, fashion-y, booze, and over exposed images that made me feel like a Terry Richardson starlet. Also, if you dig my style and versatility, check out my Tumblr, GlamourGirlsandWhiskey !

Sometimes it’s really hard to beg my friends and family enough to get them to take outfit posts for me, so my InstaGram gets a more “daily feed” of my looks than this here blog, but I do my best to get some good digital images when I can. This is a look I’m so sad never got photos taken of, but I figured I’d share the Insta’ photos with you, because it’s honestly not that bad.

It’s finally feeling somewhat like fall…somewhat being it’s mid-October and still comfortable outside in a tee shirt. Okay, it’s hardly fall at all. But each breath has that fall air. The leaves are FINALLY beginning to change their shades and fall to litter our sidewalks. Evenings require a light jacket or sweater. Pumpkins are filling the deli’s. It’s exciting. All I want to do is go on long walks, listening to Death Cab for Cutie and the crunching of leaves.

Scarf from an NYC Street Vendor

Forever 21 boots
TopShop and Target bracelets
One of my favorite things about NYC is the street vendor scarves. $5 a pop gets you a pashmina-silk scarf that’s surprisingly warm and durable. OR you can get 5 for $20…I always get one for my friends and family as an extra add on to Christmas gifts!
Also, I know a lot of people are still complimenting my “anti-french” manicure, and I’m still loving it each day. Point in case, the faint purple shade was a perfect match to the tonal stripes of this top!
I have a cat. My roommate has a pitbull; one with only three legs, and who just got out of the puppy hospital for an intestinal blockage. This dog, though annoying(or “delightfully playful” in Eliza’s terms) and with horrendous farts, is the sweetest pup, and most amazing dog/pitbull EVER.
And, although he tends to drag me toward (A) the park (B) the ice cream shop or (C) the butcher shop, I still love to walk him and basque while vicariously living in his notoriety in our Williamsburg neighborhood.
Armstrong. Oh, did I mention his immensely hazardous tail? People wonder why my legs are all scratched up and bruised…(okay, I admit I’m slightly a klutz on my own).

I was never a fan of the Suburban Cowgirl look growing up. After moving to the real concrete jungle, though, I feel in love with the urbanized cowgirl look. Brown leather boots are a great staple for use in both summer and winter.
First, where to find a quality, authentic looking pair: I found mine at a cowboy shop in Alexandria, Virginia (that I sadly forget the name of). If you happen to live in or be traveling to a state Virginia or south of there, you’ll be lucky to hopefully find a quality authentic shop. These 100% leather boots run on the pricey side, though. Children’s sized pairs go from $60 to $120, while adult sizes (women’s 6 and up) range from $175 upwards to $300.

If you don’t happen to live in one of those southern states, or just don’t have the funds for authentic ism, there are still options. Forever 21 and Strawberry have been seen carrying brown boots resembling cowboy styles. While Forever 21 shoes are reasonably priced ($27.80 for the pair pictured to the right), I’ve never found them to be noticeably comfortable. Strawberry tends to carry more noticeable shoe brands. While they are unable to be found online, they carry Jessica Simpson, Rampage, Bakers, and more brands. While most locations are in Manhattan, they have a few locations in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania as well (locations can be found at strawberrystores.com). If you’re looking in department stores, Macy’s, Nordstrom, and JC Penney also tend to have some cowboy inspired boots. Prices for these can range from $49.99 to $120.
Now, how to wear them. Let’s start with our current season, summer. Throw your cute brown leather boots with a floral sundress (knock out two trends at once without overdoing it!) or some denim short shorts. One night I went out and even added a real leather gun holster!I particularly love the brown leather boots look with white; whether it be a white sundress or some light denim jeans and a white top.

This trend is one of few that can be carried through the seasons. This past winter I wore mine with some ripped jeans, an over sized sweater, and some rustic looking jewelry. If you can find a leather belt and/or satchel bag that matches your boots, lucky you! With the right accessories, including wooden bangles, you can make almost anything work with these boots. 
Here are some more images to inspire you to create your own look….go out and have fun! Get some boys to save a horse and ride a cowgirl 😉
