There’s something magical about Montauk off-season. The beaches are quiet. The breeze allows me to wear my favorite sweater vest. I can sit on the balcony wrapped up on a blanket overlooking the waves in the sun. It’s crazy to think fall is really here and summer is over. My sister snapped up these images at the lighthouse. It’s been a while since I’ve shot a black and white series. The wind, the suit, and the waves seem more dramatic without any color. Even more beautiful. Funny enough, all l I remember was just how bright blue the water was, glaring back at me that day.

Playing with color is a huge part of fall dressing that I love.

Bold socks and leggings make spicing up a look for the chillier weather so much easier. HUE makes some of the best colorful tights, socks, and leggings out there with a barely-there feel and innovative design.

For me, I like my HUE pieces to be the wow-factor in my look. It could be a bold classic red tight, like the HUE Opaque Tight in Deep Red with my favorite leopard dress or the HUE Patched Ripped Cuffed Denim Skimmer with an equally as bold denim jacket. Can you say punk?

It’s easy to make your tights your statement piece, or simply make it a denim-on-denim monochromatic look. The amazing thing about fall styling and layering is that you can easily take a burgundy sock, like the HUE Ruffled Luster Sock and platforms and vamp up a metallic midi skirt.

Then, there’s that added shine in a perfect Leatherette Legging, best paired with super casual deep grey shades. Reds, blues, and purples are my go-to shades as we approach fall. I’m even taking a bit of HUE into my beauty routine with the new ORLY Breathable Treatment and Color in “Morning Mantra” blue, part of the HUE X Orly #ChooseColor Capsule collection.

When in doubt, choose color.
