Here’s the yummy recipe:

“I guess we all like to be recognized not for one piece of fireworks, but for the ledger of our daily work,” is a famous quote by American Astronaut Neil Armstrong who  was the inspiration for Rebecca Minkoff‘s Fall 2013 ready to wear show.

Taking loose inspiration from outer space we saw white leather jackets and a kitchy “Space” t-shirt. Quilted detailing softened tough leather while giving a recognizable ode to astronaut inspired garb.

A tomboy vibe was definitely layered throughout with models strutting down the runway with contrasting cozy knits along with plenty of furry berets. To pull off these boyish looks, make-up called for strong brows, a dash of blush, and a swipe of gloss. Very minimalistic.

Keeping to her roots and dazzled with colorful and flowy silks with great structure adding a welcomed bit of femininity.

Still the standouts this season where Minkoff’s eye catching outerwear. Check out one of the designer’s favorites which paired leather trim, a shearling collar, and bonded mesh tweed; a definite stand out.

Inspired by the streets of New York City Michael Kors‘ Fall runway show let’s us know that the way to go next season is sure to be sporty, urban and chic.

A bright pop of color was injected by way of a taxi-cab inspired orange while a cobalt blue accented a city girl’s go-to: black on black.

When it comes to the accessories its clear that ankle strap heels are here to stay. Keeping to the sporty theme, pumps were donned with large elastic bands for a gritty and bold touch. Models strutted down the runway wearing large motorcycle-esque shades that are sure to make an impact and carried very structured woman-in-charge satchel handbags.

As for peplums, keep those in your closet because they are here to stay! Just take cues from his dazzling finale dress.

The BB Cream from Maybelline has become a new favorite with its SPF tint that gives light coverage for quick cover-ups and the best part is that it changes colors to get the match your exact complexion. I also like to add a bit of bronzer to my cheekbones for an easy radiant sunkissed look.

But now that my feet have seen the sun and even the sand, I just wore a pair of boots this past weekend.  I know how crazy that seems.  But—these new Tory Burch Sabe booties make any outfit look instantly edgy.  Yes, even a floral Peter Pan collared dress looks tougher when worn with a little pair of ankle booties.

The Tory Sabe Booties are a gorgeous suede caramel that just screams perfect summer boot.  The key to wearing boots in the summer is to mix your fabrics and colors the right way.  Even though suede is a heavier fabric we usually associate with cooler months, this light caramel is more summery than black would be. It’s a great addition to your summer wardrobe and makes any outfit you’d normally think to wear sandals with look a bit more modern.

You can never go wrong with cutoffs and a top with your booties, and wear them to dress down an otherwise girly sundress.   For a night out, try  them with a pair of skinnies and a crop top, and for a day look, wear a sheer maxi skirt for a cool mix of textures.

Give your sandals a break and wear an ankle bootie for an unexpected twist on your sundresses and denim shorts!
