Kourtney Kardashian's Style Transformation Since Dating Travis Barker

Kourtney Kardashian's style has certainly evolved since she began dating rocker Travis Barker. Before she met Travis, back in 2019,  her fashion style consisted of mostly sexy/casual outfits and was inundated with menswear-inspired fashion.   

In 2021, when the couple started dating, we can see a shift in the reality star's style becoming edgier and darker which merges well with her fiance's wardrobe style, which tends to happen with prominent couples.   In her recent Instagram stories and posts, you can clearly see the influence that this relationship has had on her clothing choices.  

Before Travis Looks:

Flowy printed dresses, skinny jeans, pastel color blouses/sweatshirts, gold jewelry and ripped jeans.

After Travis Looks:  

Combat boots, black skinny jeans, black leather pants,  leather jacket, spike jewelry, platform boots,  black lace blouses, and latex dresses.

5 Fall Vignettes For The Autumn Season

“Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree.”
― Emily Bronte

Falling leaves, golden hues and pumpkins everywhere describe the beauty of the fall season.

As summer ends and cooler temperatures are upon us we feel the need to stay inside and enjoy the coziness of our homes.  Styling your home for the autumn season takes a little bit of creativity and a lot of inspiration/motivation.

My go-to for fall inspiration is Pinterest, Instagram, and YouTube videos.  Everything is curated in one spot so you can choose your favorites to initiate the decorating process.

Firstly,  a set aside a specific day  of the week to go through your choices and see if they go with the style of your home in order to attain a cohesive look. Choose which rooms you want to display your curations, decide on a budget and  now you can start the fun part decorating. Keep in mind that it might take several tries before you get that perfect look just keep trying - the outcome will be worth it. 

Finding inspiration to decorate for fall is easy thanks to these five vignettes below:
