I thought I’d try something new on here and share my favorite fall must-haves.
1. Burt’s Bees shimmer makeup / Benefit beauty product
I chose these make up products because they work excellently in the fall weather. Burt’s Bees, in my opinion, is the best brand for any lip makeup and this tinted lip balm is super cute! I also chose Benefit’s Moon Beam highlighter - one of my daily makeup staples. This highlighter can be used as an alternative to blush highlighting cheekbones, or, if you’re pretty good at makeup things, be used as to contour your face.
I chose this orange blouse with skulls on it because it’s totally different looking, but still has that fall feeling to it. This shirt would look super cute with a pair of skinny jeans and boots, tucked into a wool skirt with tights, or even paired with a slimmer maxi skirt and wedges.
3. Juicy Couture / Betsey Johnson earrings / Red jewelry /
I chose these earrings because I think they’re absolutely beautiful. I’m a huge fan of Juicy Couture’s jewelry line (NOT their sweatpants). They’ve always got really different earrings that look elegant, but quirky. Betsey Johnson is also one of my favorites, but sometimes her jewelry is a little too bold for me. I also chose a red rose pendant necklace because I instantly think floral print for fall - something which I wanted to replicate with jewelry.
4. J.Crew slim fit shirt
This shirt is perfect. Everything about it: the soft grey hue, the peter pan collar, the zipper in the back. I’m in love. One big fall trend this year, which I’m totally on board with, are peter pan collars. This type of collar is super girlie, but has a sort of whimsical look, which I think makes it a great investment piece. It might be trendy right now, but I think peter pan collars could look timeless with the right outfits.
5. Alexander McQueen jewelry / Kate Spade pearl necklace / Nelly Accessories gold ring, $8.02 / Rhinestone jewelry
I chose jewelry that was very feminine to me to balance out some of the masculine pieces, like the shoes and skirt. I also chose jewelry with really cute details, like the bow.
6. Wallis mini skirt
This style of skirt is my go-to for fall. I’m constantly pairing wool skirts with various printed tights and cardigans all autumn long. This one in particular is amazing because of the masculine print - adds a touch of unique to an average outfit.
7. Shift dress / Vero Moda knitted scarve
Please ignore how expensive this dress is. It’s more for inspiration - plus, I’ve seen similar styles at Forever 21 for a fraction of the price. I chose this dress because I absolutely love floral for fall. I also love the silhouette of it, I think it would look adorable paired with a dark, long blazer.I also added a dark infinity scarf for transitioning this outfit to cooler weather.
8. J.Crew slim jeans
Colored jeans were all the rage all summer, but can they make it through fall? I believe they can. Choose jeans that are a light, neutral color (no neon pink jeans!) and be sure to pair them with fall colors to warm up the outfit. A lot of stores are also carrying colored cords, which could be a great way to transition this style to winter.
9. Steve Madden black flat
Loafers are huge right now - especially ones that are decorated in some way. These studded loafers are a perfect fall outfit, adding a little bad-ass to anything. I’d pair these shoes with more girlie outfits (like the colored jeans and peter pan collar sweater!) to add a little visual interest.
I believe everyone should have one pair of everyday sunglasses and one pair of fun sunglasses. This pair falls into the second group. They are so fun, but still look totally fashionable and sleek.
10. Steve Madden leopard flat
Steve Madden is my favorite brand of shoes, so he’s making a second appearance on this list. I found this adorable leopard print oxfords which I think would look great with almost any outfit. Now, I know most people are a little intimidated by wearing leopard print, but just remember: it’s a neutral (of sorts). You can wear leopard print with essentially any color and any simple print. Don’t go pairing leopard print with zebra print and a bold floral - but if you keep it simple, it could look amazing!
