Fabulous fashion minds came to together for an evening of style, showcasing chic boutiques and popular local influencers at a recent street style photo shoot, held in the exclusive Como Social Club overlooking the shimmering lights of The Woodlands Waterway, located at the Westin Hotel at The Woodlands.
Attended by The Woodlands area’s top fashion bloggers, the event was hosted by the Westin’s Kelly McCourt and directed by style coordinator Melissa D'Mello, with the crucial expertise of fashion photographer Lenora Stein, hair stylist Adriana Vasquez and makeup artist Madison Simpson. The result is a go-to photo “stylebook” of on-trend outfits and accessories, providing the perfect inspiration for putting together your new fall look!
DENIM
A great pair of jeans is worth a thousand words. Denim makes it easy to transition into the fall fashion season. And since jeans go on a bit of a hiatus during the peak heat of summer, you’ll be ready to break out your favorite pair as soon as the temps begin to dip!
If you’re looking for inspiration to fuel your fall outfits, feast your eyes on the denim ensembles featured here. These fresh looks have instant eye appeal but are still everyday smart, and they’re easy to recreate by pairing new purchases with pieces you already own. The latest shoe trends, fun tees sporting your favorite pop culture memes, flashy long jackets, and the “it” shirt that everyone will be tucking into those stylish blues--this is your ultimate guide to fall denim.
DAILY DRESSES
A flirty mini-cut dress typically screams “summer,” but when it’s featured in warm neutrals, feminine floral prints or bold autumn colors, it can take you well into October--the ideal piece to rock with tall boots, booties, and (Always!) your go-to pair of cowboy boots.
BOOTS
Speaking of boots, this fall the trusty boot is more ubiquitous than ever. Stylish knee-highs take center stage for the season, strutting their stuff in metallics, animal prints, bold colors--and even in white. And since Western boots are a wardrobe staple here in Texas, maybe this is the year that you finally treat yourself to an amazing pair of custom boots (See our story this issue about the perfect place to find these)
EVENING WEAR
This fall’s fresh takes on evening wear offer femininity as well as energy and excitement. From sassy flounce dresses and tiered ruffles to maxi dresses in sleek satins and silks, with plunging v-necks and v-backs. Other Instagram-worthy trends include intricately pleated gowns made of sheer georgette fabrics and the drama of dresses featuring bold “statement” patterns.
