Well it has been a while since I last posted (whoops) but life just gets busy sometimes! Anyways I am back now and have a few exciting projects and plans in the near future. But more on that later! I'm not sure if it's only me but lately I cannot wait for fall and especially fall style! I think it is probably one of my favourite seasons for fashion and I love thinking about all the fun outfits that are to come. I am almost overwhelmed with the thoughts and ideas I have for fall and my wish list seems to keep increasing by the day! So I thought I would share my fall wants (...needs) to give some inspiration but also to keep track for myself! Anyways here we go...be prepared it is long...and only getting longer!
Coats/Jackets: There are two different style I am looking at for the fall. Firstly I am looking for a good leather jacket. I haven't decided yet if I am going to invest in one and get a good quality one, or if I should go the faux way and buy a cheap one. The next style is a military jacket. I think this is such a great style to pair over almost anything and it won't be too heavy to wear in the warmer months before fall hits!
Hats: I have been lusting after a great fall hat for a while now. I spotted a few last year and for some reason never took the jump and bought them (big regret!). However this year I am determined to find one or two that I like and finally buy them! I have spotted two so far that seem to fit the bill for what I am looking for! The good news is I am sure (fingers crossed) that there will be more to come as fall comes closer! I also love love love this one that was featured on one of my favourite blogs Gal Meets Glam. I can't find it yet on the Gap website (I think it might be from last year) but hopefully it will be making an appearance soon!
Boots: This is a tricky one! I love so many styles of boots that I think I might go bankrupt buying so many! Firstly I am in desperate need of boots. I pretty much lived in my Hunter boots last year which are practical but not always so stylish! This year I am committed to buying at least one or two pairs of boots for the fall and winter! I am kind of all over the place with the styles that I want but I think I am leaning towards a good tall over the knee or riding style boot. I also do love booties and am going to try to find a good pair. This is a little tricky as of now because boots haven't fully hit stores yet (I'm a little too early).
Jeans/Pants: I've talked about this before here, but a good pair of black jeans is a definite must for fall. I have yet to buy my perfect pair, but it is definitely at the top of my list for fall. Another style of pants that I have my eye on is a good army green pant or jean. I love that colour for fall and think it will go great with lots of different boots and sweater combinations. I also love these other colour pants for fall!
Purses: I have been looking for a good brown purse lately that can work as a cross body bag to use daily but also have versatility to use in other situations. I think I found the perfect one with this Marc by Marc Jacobs bag. I love the colour, the size and the fact that it can convert from a cross body to a hand bag. Another bag also caught my eye while I was looking. This Kate Spade one would be an ideal black bag for the fall. I again love the fact that it can convert in to a few styles like the Marc by Marc Jacobs one. I have also been looking for a black bag. Originally I had my sights set on a more structured black bag but I think this Kate Spade one has taken the lead! Hopefully I can set my sights on another black bag, one that is more structured, like this Tory Burch one, by the time Christmas comes around...hint hint.
Oxfords/Loafers: Before winter hits here, which means lots of snow, I want to buy some oxfords or loafers. I think they are a great transition from summer sandals to falls cooler weather. I love the way oxfords and loafers look with outfits, and they can really be worn with any outfit. They can make a fancier outfit more casual but also add some fun to casual outfits. I have seen a few around the web, but these are the ones I keep coming back to!
When it comes to investment pieces, I am a firm believer in spending a little more on quality items. I think this can be different for everyone. Some of you might think an investment piece is good shoes, high end makeup or quality jewelry. Depending on your lifestyle and what you need for your everyday, I think purses can be added to this investment list. Last year I took the plunge and finally bought a good quality leather purse, and... I think it changed me forever! So recently I have been pining away to buy another purse, well two actually! I am in desperate need of a new crossbody purse, this is the purse I use in my every day to day. Needless to say my current one is just not measuring up anymore. And secondly I need a more polished and elegant black shoulder purse. Therefore here are my picks for crossbody purses and shoulder purses (I had to add the brown Zara Braided Shopper because I am obsessed with it!). Hopefully I can again make the plunge and maybe have two nice new purses by the end of summer!
1. Michael Kors Weston Bag
2. Marc By Marc Jacobs
3. Cambridge Satchel
4. YSL
5. J.Crew Satchel
6. Zara Shopper
