it seems as though recently, more often then not, i am finding style inspiration in my mother’s closet… for some time i went years without wanting to copy her wardrobe’s sensibility {there was a day when she actually purchased crocs}, but in the past few years she’s really given me a run for my money in the clothing department- her gold bangles, chanel bags, ballet flats, leather jackets & chunky watches make me drool daily… and her recent delivery from anouk ranks as one of my favorite fashion-inspirations.  yesterday she received 2 pairs of buttery leather boots, just in time for the chilly fall weather.  i couldn’t resist following suit, snatching up my very own pair of the perfect black boot, the jenny.  here are a few of my other picks from the uber stylish line…

last night i curled up in bed with sookie, henry & the latest episode of dexter with the intention of composing a collage of my latest fashion obsessions {leather, jewel tones, givenchy bags etc.} however, i found myself constantly drifting towards the latest trends in menswear… and while this is a departure from my typical posts, i found it only appropriate to dedicate today’s to some of my favorite pieces for the boys this season… why should us girls have all the fun?
