I stepped onto that Austin, Texas high school football field and felt...

...some sort of need for a town gathering of epic Friday Night Lights proportions. There's just something about that big Texas sky and football. It feels right.

What else feels right? These hunter green leather culottes that are so fresh and fly for fall fashion. This tone of green is the "it" color for fall, as is anything leather in general. 

Half parts quirky, and half parts practical, you've got to get in my pants.

There's something about twirling in chiffon in the Texas countryside that just does it for me!

This L'Agence printed chiffon maxi is the perfect addition to your fall wardrobe. It's one of those items that I stash away in the closet for upcoming fall weekend happenings, like a bridal shower, sunset gathering, birthday party, or wine tasting. 

Plus, I threw on this long sleeve under layer for an added dimension of style. Don't be confined by sleeveless dresses in fall weather-- an under layer only adds extra style to the mix!

You can call me the anti-"flannel shirt tied around the waist or flannel shirt in general" kind of girl, and I'll stick by it 100%. But when you present to me a unique one-of-a-kind item like this 3.1 Phillip Lim Apron Skirt with Suspenders and try to tell me not to splurge on it, there's no resistance to be had.

This plaid-everything-piece is just that. If you catch me in jeans (maybe once every other month, max), you'll find me throwing this item over my denim. If you catch me in a body-con sheath (on the regular), you can find me draping this apron over the dress almost like a jacket...or accessory. It's the perfect add on that's 99 parts insane, and one part just right.

Don't you agree?

Find a quickie outfit on the go that will get you from A to B, looking fly as a female superpower, and without breaking the bank? {This faux suede shift dress is under $100!}

I'd go for a look like this-- from office to o-u-t-i-e; it's casual, sophisticated, and allows you room for personality through accessories and makeup selections.

I went off the beaten path a little with this oversized fur messenger bag as my accessory pop of the day. It's vintage from a flea market, so sorry to share that I can't guide you where to get your own, but I listed a few similar options in my Shop The Look section for both the fur-lover, and the PETA-friend. 

Fall fashion is about staying on the right path...but beating to your own drum. After all, that's always been the Elshane's World way...

I'm a big fan of mixing my highs and lows. Take this chiffon bow dress by Wayf (for under $100!), and this well-priced epic western belt (that if you don't yet own, I just don't quite understand why), and pair it back to some major designer accessories for a home run WOW!

Fashion is fleeting, but accessories stick around. I invested in this denim Chanel handbag this year and have never looked back. These Christian Louboutin boots are 6 years old and more fabulous by the day. Spend on designer accessories and save on easy dresses like this no-brainer from Wayf. 

Plus, if you haven't touched in with the western trend yet, well then I just don't know what you're waiting for!

The beach in Tel Aviv is the definition of casual luxury. Casual because, well, no once cares what anyone wears (not that that stopped me from g.o.i.n.g t.h.e.r.e!). Luxury because, well, you can order just about anything you could ever imagine straight to the comfort of your beach chair.

If there's ever a sandy spot that has delivery vino, hookah, and tasty treats all in one spot, I like to call that home. {Saint-Tropez, Bodrum, Mykonos-- I didn't forget about you!}

The beaches of Tel Aviv, thanks for welcoming me into your home. ;)

It was a cultural day exploring Tel Aviv, Israel on this day. We started in the Old City of Jaffa, walking through the quiet and ancient residential streets. So much history and culture as we watched families enjoy their Saturday morning Shabbat, catching a glimpse of a family here and there on a balcony, or walking by in an alleyway.

Oh, and then we went to the cosmopolitan Norman Hotel, Tel Aviv's swankiest new 5- star boutique hotel known for rooftop drinks and people watching. I felt like home with my glass of rosé and effortless mini dress! We met up with an old friend from Hong Kong and enjoyed our Saturday afternoon overlooking the city.

Now that's the way to tour a city. A little bit of this, a little bit of that. All in perfect situational dressing, of course!

Fall fashion forecast called (via banana)... they said to buy a denim midi skirt pronto! 

I've chosen a selection of my absolute favorites for fall-- for every body type, found in my "Shop the Look" section below. Some are splurges, some are saves-- but whichever path you choose, be sure to get on the train quick before she sells out in your size!
