Wishful Shopping: Early Fall Edition

I came to the realization the other day that I add more items to my closet in the fall and winter months than the other two seasons combined!  Something about the relief of the sweltering heat being over makes me yearn for some chunky knits and funky wedge booties!  Being the smart and somewhat frugal merrymaker that I am... I snagged some boots (five pairs to be exact) on super sale from various stores at the end of spring. Now, I am making a vow to not purchase any more fall/winter footwear BUT these other items are sure making it hard to stick to my nonexistent shopping budget for September.


Orla Kiely Multi Headband | To keep the ears warm, the hair in check, & the cuteness present.  Perfect for the chillier football games!
ASOS Curve Pinafore Dress in Plaid Check | I love that plaid/tartan is ever present this season!  Something about me Scottish roots has me yearning for this dress!
J. Crew Jeweled Chandelier Sweatshirt | I love dressing up a casual thing!  Keep it cute and comfy, please!
Simply Be Fur Trim Cardigan Coat | Memphis weather spends a lot of time "in between" cool and cold, so a lighter coat option is a must!  I love the aztec print.
ASOS Faux Fur Lapel Collar |  I love the vintage feel of lapel collars and the cobalt blue color just adds extra oomph points!

What trends/items are on your must-have list as the fall creeps closer?
Do share!

sunday style

Today marks a special blog post that I hope to continue weekly.  In the same spirit as Sunday Style in the New York Times, I am going to bring you Sunday Style- right here!  Whether celebrity or locally inspired, this is a addition I am quite excited about! First, here are the winners from New Years Eve.  Sarah and Kelsey both wore the same Charlotte Russe skirt, but decided to dress it up their own way with variations of white and black, as per the theme, and a little silver, as per their individuality. 



SUNDAY STYLE:
The key looks that are rousing about are absolutely delicious.  
1. biker chic-- very versatile and can be paired with anything from jeans to a delicate skirt. I think my favorite thing about this rising trend is that you can't have enough accessories and detailing.  I already have my faux leather jacket, do you?  The best part is that you can find them just about anywhere in a variety of colors and styles.

2. Unexpected Pairings-- (Imagine leather and lace) Equally, if not more exciting, is the trend that is on the horizon to pair pieces and patterns that would not normally be paired.
Example one: Florals with a military jacket

Example: Big, over shaped top and loose skirt

3.  Oxfords-- You've seen them on girls, men, woman alike, with the current menswear trend in the works. They are versatile enough to blend with any outfit.  You could grab a traditional pair, or a feminized pair.

Lastly. 4. Statement Jewelry-- This key piece (below) is one of my fashion goals for 2011! Be on the lookout for vintage items too, gemstone pieces are gorgeous! Just remember, it's okay to splurge on a crazy, intricate necklace that makes a statement AND makes an entire outfit!
