Emerson Fry x les anti-modernes* // fall essentials

is there anything better than a great coat and luxe accessories to usher in fall? this month, i've teamed up with the lovely folks at Emerson Fry on my fall essentials edit.

i'm particularly inspired by a textured take on seasonless classics, and these are my favorites from the EF Fall 2014 collection: the gentlewoman's tailored coat, easy luxe slides, and a convertible portfolio.

a proper topcoat has been on my wishlist for years. this coated tweed version is softly structured, and the straight cut allows for enough room to layer a thin knit underneath. (i'm wearing a 0. the sleeves are a smidge long, so i may get them shortened.)

i'm always on the lookout for chic flats, so the cobra embossed slides are perfect for transitional fall and loungey weekends. (i went with these in 36 – i'm usually a narrow-ish 6.5.) the portfolio is quite practical as an elegant crossbody/work bag (room enough for essentials, laptop files) that transforms into an oversized clutch. i love that the detachable shoulder strap is constructed out of a thick and buttery-soft leather.

i hope this is helpful if you're considering some of these pieces! happy fall wardrobe building, and let me know if you get anything from the new EF collection :)
