Over the weekend we took the kids to a local fundraising carnival. It was really fun to go on the Ferris Wheel and watch the kids go on so many rides and inside of the bouncy house. We were at the carnival for several hours so I was really happy to be wearing a comfortable pair of biker boots.

I love the biker boot trend this fall. Biker boots offer a small heel and an edgy style which spices up a casual outfit; yet allows a certain level of comfort. Love that! These biker boots have definitely been my fall 2013 “go-to” item. What is your “go-to” item(s) this autumn season?

Fall 2013 trends: biker jackets and boots

Biker jackets and biker boots are considered casual classics. Although timeless, the biker trend has taken on new life for the fall 2013 season. Biker jackets and biker boots graced the runways for fall/winter 2013/2014 in New York, Paris, Milan and London. Store buyers and consumers loved the casual, edgy biker look and store shelves have become stocked with the look for the autumn season; and consumers are buying the biker look like mad!

With the rocker chic trend and grunge trend popular in 2013, it is only natural that the biker look, often referred to as the “moto” look, would gain popularity with Fashionistas who do not normally wear such edgy attire. Designers have responded to the trend with biker boots and jackets in multiple colors which stray from traditional black. We are seeing shades of brown, tan and even brighter hues such as blue and pink on biker inspired items.

In addition to traditional biker jackets, designers have created vests, sweater and tops with biker jacket details. Biker boots have found new life with high heel versions of the traditional, casual style. This is bringing the biker look into chicer, dressier waters. Love that!

My favorite biker jacket of the season is by Cusp. I personally own this jacket and feel it is the best value on the market for rocking the biker trend. The sleeves zipper off from the body of the jacket leaving you with a biker vest! It is two jackets in one! The leather is soft and the jacket is cozy. I also love the price especially considering the jacket is also a vest. So much bang for your buck!

Are you wearing the biker trend this fall 2013 season? What are you favorite pieces to wear this season which are in line with the trend?

Fall has arrived and ’tis the season for pumpkins, colorful leaves, crisp air and boots! Fabulous boots! There is nothing that screams “fall” more than a comfortable, fabulous pair of boots to keep your feet warm and add pizazz to an ensemble.

This autumn 2013 season I am in love with my new pair of Naya “Apollonia” boots. These boots are so comfortable, it is a shame to take them off at the end of the day! I can walk for miles in them and feel good about every step I take. Everything about Naya is feel-good. The company is dedicated to making the world a better place through environmentally sound materials and production. Love that!

I have been a huge fan of Naya Shoes for several years now and have acquired quite the collection! Naya’s shoes and boots are excellent quality and last season after season. Every time I wear a pair of Naya Shoes from a past season people will ask me if they are new! They maintain their shape, color and fit over the years making them not only eco-chic but investment worthy!

I love how Naya’s “Apollonia” boots look with this season’s coated jeans; as well as regular jeans. They also look amazing with graphic prints, leopard print and fall’s hot leather trend! I am looking forward to wearing the “Apollonia” with a variety of different outfits throughout the season; and again next year!
