While the outfits she puts together are forward and of the moment, they have an ease to them to give that minimalist feel. On that note, there are a few key fall items she is wearing or plans on wearing to create her pared-down fall ensembles. 

Alternatively, there are also fall trends she doesn't plan on wearing much because they don't fit within her personal style. And yes, all of that intel is coming your way for style and shopping inspiration. Of course, it's important to remember that you should always wear what you love, despite what someone else may be into to not into.

"In terms of handbags, I do not enjoy a lot of hardware or overt bells and whistles. I prefer simple yet chic bags like this Celine style."

Will Wear: Understated Western Boots

Won't Wear: Flashy Cowboy Boots

"I love cowboy boots and never consider anything I wear on-trend. However, I do realize we will be seeing a lot of cowboy boots trickle from the summer to fall season. I prefer a minimal boot that has the same effect."

Will Wear: Pieces With a Minimal Logo

Won't Wear: Allover-Logo Pieces
