Early Fall Finds

Fall is well on it's way and I am not ready. I am not ready.  I feel like summer didn't even happen. It was just May two days ago, wasn't it? I need more time! But it's coming. And there isn't anything we can do about it...so here are some of my early fall finds! 

• Loving a lot of Banana Republic's new arrivals. This pleated skirt comes in three beautiful colors. 
• I'm a big henley tee girl and just bought this long sleeve version- perfect with jeans and great for layering. 
• Love this cardigan
• Something about this denim jacket that I really like. Perfect for those early fall days. 
• The cut and style of this Old Navy top reminds me so much of an Ulla Johnson one I own.

The (DRESSY) Fall Dress Edit

DRESS:: Ulla Johnson (more sizes here and another color here) // SHOES:: Jimmy Choo // EARRINGS:: Asha // BAG:: Chanel

If you've been following for a while then you know how much I love my Ulla Johnson pieces. Ulla pieces are the ultimate when it comes to feminine dressing. They are on the pricier side and are definitely investments. Whenever I think about purchasing an Ulla Johnson piece, I ask myself if I think it is an item that I will come back to year after year. So far every Ulla piece I own, I have worn over and over again. 

So many of you have asked if I could help finding fall dresses for fancier occasions. I've been slowly rounding up my favorites over the past few weeks and wanted to share them with you today. I covered a variety of price points. My all time favorite style steal dress is this one from Mango that I own in the teal. I also love the copper color, especially for fall! I saw this dress in person and it is so incredibly beautiful. It is expensive but it's currently 30% off during Bloomingdale's Buy More, Save More event- expect a post tomorrow about this sale because it is quite good!

Wrapped Up :: Fall Layers

 SCARF:: Hat Attack (c/o) // BLAZER:: Lioness (similar color here) // TEE:: Club Monaco // PANTS:: Frame (from last year, this year's pair here) // SHOES:: Jimmy Choo // EARRINGS:: Lizzie Fortunato // BAG:: Chanel

One of the things I love most about fall is throwing on all the extra layers. I'm always cold and the second the temps drop below 60 the heat in my car is on 90 and my seat warmer is on. This scarf was a gift from Hat Attack and to say I'm in love is an understatement. The colors are so beautiful and I love that I can wear it draped as a wrap over blazers and sweaters. I bought this blazer last year during a sale and the color is no longer around. Reviews have been mixed on the Lioness Blazer- some say the buttons fall off easily while others say the quality is great for the price. It's called the Palermo Jacket and it's $88- so far I've had no problems with mine and thought it was a good piece in a fun color for a not so crazy price. If you are looking for a blazer in this color, I love this one from Ann Taylor. I've been so pleased with Ann Taylor's fall pieces and pretty much want everything they've recently posted on instagram. Their quality is amazing for the price. They are currently having a massive sitewide sale with 50% off just about everything. Their Hutton style blazer (love this tweed one, too!) has been extremely popular and this one is also so gorgeous.

Back to School Fall Finds

The kids went back to school this morning and this day is always so much harder for me than it is for them. I'm a natural born worrier and always sit and stare at the clock, waiting for pick up on the first day of school. Will they have a good first day? Will they like their teachers? Will their teachers like them? Are they ok? About a million and one questions bounce back and fourth around my head. I keep reminding myself, I'm sending my kids off to school, not war. They will be fine! I decided to distract myself with a blog post. I'm rounding up some new favorite fall finds and sharing a few new pieces that I bought recently and LOVE.

• If you are looking for nice quality, affordable sweaters for fall you need to look at Line & Dot. I just bought a few and love them. I bought this fringe one in grey, this ivory one, and this cable and pom one. I just saw this cardigan with a little bit of fringe and I'm kind of obsessed. Definitely going to order. 

• I shared the Mango dresses I bought last week on stories the other day and it was probably one of my most popular stories session. Do you all like to see try ons like that? I feel a little awkward doing them but know it's helpful to see clothing on. Anyways, I'm wearing this maxi dress today and it is definitely my favorite dress that I ordered from Mango. Sizes are running low! I also bought this shorter style and this fancier satin tie dress. The video and pictures don't do the satin dress justice. It is soooo beautiful in person. The material is soft and buttery and looks really luxe. I'm also a sucker for the teal color. 

• Denim. I've had to get rid of a ton of my old jeans that didn't have a high waist. After four c sections, my incision site is still super sensitive and the only jeans that feel comfortable are my high waisted pairs. I always shop for jeans at Anthropologie because they carry so many petite lengths. I HATE hemming jeans so I always try and look for cropped styles and petite styles. My all time favorite jean brand is Citizens of Humanity. I just feel like they always fit really well. I bought this style from Anthro and they are the most comfortable thing in the world. They look vintage and stiff but they are really comfortable with a nice stretch. 

• I'm really loving this jacket and loving the price tag as well. Looks so cozy. 

My Fall Wishlist

SUEDE JACKET:: Allsaints

I know, I know, I know, I know. It is STILL summer. But every summer right around this time, I get an itch for fall clothing. I always start putting together a fall wishlist and try to figure out which pieces will be at the top of my list. Right now this pair of booties is at the tippy top. They are pricey and would definitely be a splurge but the western boot trend will be big again this year and I feel like I would get a lot of wear out of them. The color is perfect and would fit in really nicely with pieces I already own. Also at the top of my list? This snake print midi skirt by Joie. So gorgeous and could be dressed up or down.
