Monica is…metal & studs.

It’s pretty easy to fall in love with the rocker-chic look splashed all across the magazines. Ebony black, metals, heavy studs & sumptuous leathers only fuel my desire for fall to arrive. It’s been a huge drag in Los Angeles due to the fires ( it’s in the 90’s!). It’s hard to get dressed & not feel like a sweat bucket, but in the meantime I will continue to count the days when I can wear boots & sweaters again. Dreaming….

Monica is…leopard crazy!

I guess since I’ve been on this Daisy Lowe kick, the leopard thing sort of spilled over into things I’m obsessing about. During the fall season there is no shortage of great leopard print items & I can always count on Moschino or Christian Louboutin to send that retro “Bettie” look right my way!

Monica is…always happy with Joie!

effortless & chic

effortless & chic

One of my favorite brands to check out during the fall season is always Joie. Joie effortlessly brings out these amazing tops (jackets, & even shoes!) season after season. At work, the tops move into shopping bags faster than we can get them onto the floor! Truth be told, all of this beauty comes at a hefty price but just like Vince, these are solid pieces you’ll have for years to come.

Monica is…handbag obsessed #2.

It’s nearing fall & already I see drool-worthy leathery specimens! I love bags that are classic, but have a little edge & these have the right amount of punk sass, I can’t get enough of. The days of summer still linger on
