I was so inspired by the super casual and relaxed look of today's inspiration outfit I found on Jess Ann Kirby Lifestyle blog. Her taste is impeccable, and she knows style! I love the way the velvet slip on mules, skinny leather belt and chunky knit sweater all come together for a simple yet classic fall outfit.

But I do think this inspiration outfit needs a dose of LPDstudios accessories!!! I felt the Copper Heart Earrings, Blackened Copper Bangles and Distressed Black Leather Tote add a nice touch of leather and metal to the look. No need to choose between wearing a watch or a bracelet! I like the way the watch and bangles would create a cool layering look.

Even though Summer isn't officially over yet.... I can feel things starting to shift. The nights are getting a little cooler, the kids are getting ready to go back to school, and I'm gravitating toward a more earthy palette in my studio. I'm setting aside the bright leathers I've gathered over the past couple of summer months and starting to look for leather hides in green, gold and orange. 

I found this really nice olive green "pull up" leather that I just had to buy. Pull up leather is really unique because the leather is colored with aniline dyes that have been blended with natural based oils and waxes instead of the typical painted pigments. The oils and waxes tend to darken the original aniline dye coloration, while also pulling up the lighter colors when stretched and pulled. So this particular olive green leather has a lot of definition and dimension to the hide.

Once I bought this batch of olive green leather, I decided to make a Hand Sewn Olive Green Armadillo Envelope Clutch. I applied an armadillo cut out to give the clutch a conversational focal point, and added my signature pinked edges and contrast stitching. 

For today's style board I paired the whimsical little armadillo clutch with a linen jumpsuit in a beautiful shade of sienna orange, and comfortable chocolate suede slip ons. Even though the palette of this outfit is saying fall, I still want sleeveless tops and sandals for as long as possible.

Color me happy! Today's style board features a palette for those who want color from head to toe.

Starting with the shoes, these funky, yet really comfortable looking, wedges are from Anthropologie. They are a beautiful shade of sunshine yellow that looks so nice with the natural raffia wrapped sole.

The Persimmon Leather Handbag with Floral Motif is an LPDstudios original made of 100% Italian leather. The handbag has a modern square shape with pinked edges and a stag horn closure. The vibrant orange color of the leather gives this classic handbag a spunky twist.

"Tying" everything together is this beautiful brushstroke print, tie-waist dress. I love the modern, geometric print and the colorful palette it's in. It brings the persimmon orange of the handbag and sunshine yellow of the suede shoes to life!

Handmade with attention to detail, the Overdyed Purple Plum Brindle Fur Leather Tote with Tassels is a great everyday handbag with a one of a kind look. It has special design detailing, including hand cut tassels, pinked edges, contrast cording and a stag horn closure. But my favorite part is the hide, which is made of soft, genuine Italian leather. The hide has been saturated and overdyed in a rich plum color to create an overall brindled effect.

For today's style board, I wanted to create an everyday look that would let the personality of this unique tote shine. I chose a classic white shirt and simple jeans, paired with slip on suede mules and gold hoop earrings. The slouchy leather jacket is the finishing touch to give the outfit a little edginess.
