Fall Fashion Wishlist

2017 Fall Fashion

By the time August rolls around, summer fashion is already in my rearview mirror and I'm fully focused on selecting what pieces I need to add to my wardrobe for fall. By Labor Day, I'm craving the rich textures of leather and velvet and deep jewel tones and black (if you saw my wardrobe, you'd get it.) I could spend hours flipping through look books and selecting my new seasonal staples, but I always try to be mindful when creating my wish list. My goal is to only select items that are currently missing or need replacing, are timeless and can be worn year over year, and versatile enough to wear with nearly everything in my closet. This year my fall fashion wishlist includes:


A structured statement handbag (Pictured: Givenchy); the perfect pair of lived-in denim (Pictured: GRLFRND); a day-to-night leather mini (Pictured: BB Dakota); timeless velvet pumps to elevate any outfit (Pictured: Gianvito Rossi); Bordeaux kissed lips (Pictured: Charlotte Tilbury); and fishnet hosiery for layering under ripped jeans and transitioning your seasonal mini skirts (Pictured: Vero Monte).

What are some of the items on your fall fashion wish list?

Altuzarra x Target

It's almost here! The Altuzarra line for Target launches this Sunday and in honor of this fabulous fashion collab, I've pulled my four favorite looks from the collection.

Look 3
In this look: Structured Dress with Crane Embroidery: $49.99; Croc Effect Belt in Black: $29.99; Ankle Strap Shoe in Black: $39.99.

Why I love it: I love the attention to detail in this outfit. I mix of textures makes this dress look ultra- glam. From the tuxedo-like lapels to the gold crane embroidery across the shoulders and the subtle but sexy side split make this a not-so-basic black dress. I also love the return of wide, waist-cinching belts. 

Look 6
In this look: Python Print Blazer: $49.99; Python Print Pencil Skirt: $34.99; Oxford Shirt in Banker Stripe: $29.99; Ankle Strap Shoe in Black: $39.99.

Why I love this look: Together this suit can make some bomb separates. I personally wouldn't pair the blazer and skirt together, but styled independently can really make a sartorial statement. The blazer styled with black ankle pants or cute crop are a perfect 9-5 look. Add a cami, leather blazer and some sleek ankle boots to the skirt for a perfect date night look.


Look 7
In this look: Trench Coat in Military Green/Black: $89.99; Dress in Python Print: $44.99; Ankle Strap Shoe in Black: $39.99.

Why I love this look: In my opinion, this is the crowning look of the collection. Together these pieces look great, but individually they polish off any outfit for a chic look. A classic, well-tailored trench that can be added to any outfit, a patterned dress that can be taken from day to night, all complete with the perfect pair of black pumps

Look 10
In this look: Tee Shirt in Python Print: $17.99; Flounce Skirt in Black Pointe: $34.99; Faux Croc Belt in Black: $24.99; Over-the-Knee Boot in Black: $79.99.

Why I love this look: I'll admit it, I'm a sucker for over-the-knee boots. I instantly gravitate toward any look that incorporates them. I love the juxtaposition of the ultra-feminine flounce skirt with the edgier boot. It's a great way to incorporate a little bit of edge into everyday work wear. Grab a cropped leather jacket to complete the look for post-work cocktails. 

What are you faves from the collection? Share in the comments what you will be shopping for this weekend!
