For those lingering warm days of the first part of fall, sometimes it's nice to add an ethnic piece with warm tones that complement the balmy weather outside.
Here, I'm wearing an ethnic embroidered belt worn low on the hips over a long chartreuse silk blouse with denim shorts and a pop of red tie-up heels.
What are some of your favorite summer pieces you'll miss wearing when fall comes in full swing? I'll definitely miss the off-the-shoulder trend.
It's finally started to feel like fall! I can't wait to bring out my favorite fall pieces again.
I love the boho look of floral crowns, and the edgy look of studded boots. Combining these two trends balance each other out, I think.
What are your favorite fall pieces that you're looking forward to wearing again?

And this is Dr. Henna - as her kiddo patients call her :) Here she's
wearing a red embellished tunic tucked into black skinny jeans with her
signature Ruby Woo lipstick. Her chic look is complete with hipster
glasses.
What do you guys think of her look?

It's Wednesday, which means it's time for some style inspiration to get you through the rest of your week :)
This time, in honor of New York Fashion Week that's going on right now, I'm sharing some of my favorite streetstyle shots. Because what's Fashion Week without the creative dressing that's going on outside the shows?
If you like the inspiration you see here, you can check out my Pinterest page here, and follow for more posts.

If you've been following this blog, you know I try to find beautiful ethnic pieces and incorporate them into an everyday look for a unique style. You can check out more posts in this series here!
I think the reason I'm drawn to ethnic pieces is because they're so bold and colorful. I love that hand embroidery and embellishment have been practiced for hundreds of years. It amazes me that indigenous embroideries throughout the world - whether in South Asia, Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, or South America - all have styles in common, without the communities having any actual contact with each other. It reminds you how small this world really is, and how we are all so much more alike than we sometimes think.
Mixing and matching these pieces into an everyday look is also a small way of celebrating my own ethnic heritage. I came across the front embroidery for this top when visiting the Middle East a few years ago. It was sourced from the northern areas of Pakistan, and I made it into a shirt for Haute Heritage. Here, I paired it with denim shorts and bold red chunky tie-up heels for an added pop of color.
I know some of you have started mixing your own ethnic pieces into your everyday looks too. Please share them with us! (You can post them on The Style Matrix Facebook page here) or share them on Instagram with #EthnicEverywear! I will start sharing all your looks on the blog here, so keep posting and check back often!
Let me know what you think of this look, and if you would like to see anything in particular featured on the blog here. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts and having a conversation about how to wear beautiful ethnic pieces! #EthnicEverywear
