As it is the holidays (and already Christmas Eve in Athens!) I decided to play up a traditional black ensemble with a 'festive' tribal jacket (pop of red... check!), and a pair of super comfy suede fringe boots. What do I love about this look? Experimenting with patterns, colors and textures to find unique pairings that really DO complement each other. (See: Pop of Color - Winter's Remedy) I love rummaging through my closet, rediscovering forgotten pieces, and tossing them together to see if they'll fly. It's a fun, creative outlet that shakes up the day-to-day, and it gives me PLENTY of ideas for  new pairings when I'm on-the-go! Both the jacket and handbag are available for purchase at LILA Fashion International.  Jacket: Michael Kors (snag it!); Handbag: Kate Spade (snag it!); Sunglasses: RayBan Wayfarer; Necklace: Tiffany & Co. Boots: Sam Edelman
