Lace Back Cardigan

Ooo, you know I'm such a sucker for a pretty back! This open front cardigan has a tres pretty lace panel, perfect for layering over a bright top! Buy at TopShop for $90.

Ruffle Front Anorak

What a great combination of military and feminine details! Buy this Ali Ro jacket at Neiman Marcus for $375.

Suede Wedge Pumps

Ooo, I remember when Dolce Vida put out these shoes and they were sold out almost immediately! Well, they smartly have a new suede version for fall, available at Nasty Gal for $158 in black or red!

Lace Bodice Top

This lace is KILLER, what a beautiful top! It's $516 at Milk, so probably out of all our budgets, but I had to share anyway because it's such a stunning piece!

Lust for Less: Furry Purses

Another odd trend I've noticed lately are fur purses! Definitely unique and eye-catching, I've noticed them all over fall editorials. Here are three in various price ranges for you!
This Marc by Marc Jacobs cross body bag would be awesome for your laptop and books! But it's a super pricey $598 at Shop Bop.
At Kate Spade I found this leopard print bag for $345, which also doubles as a muff - what a super fab idea! I acutally have a vintage muff with a pocket that I suppose would work the same way, I wonder if I could get a strap to attach to it...
Finally, for you broke fashionistas, like me, here's a great option at Urban Outfitters for just $58.

So what do you think, are fuzzy purses the thing to have this winter?

Cast Batskulls Necklace

You know my and my love for the macabre! This necklace totally fits the bill and has a super unique feel overall. Buy at Buy Definition for $200.

Leopard Knit Tee

My adoration of animal prints continues with this Camilla & Marc tee! On sale from $180, you can buy it at Les Nouvelles for $108!

Wool Flannel Camel Pants

I'm looking for a pair of affordable, super luxe camel pants for fall. At $314 at Yoox, this Dries Van Noten pair isn't actually within my budget, but it's a start!

My Style Challenge: Posh Ladylike

It's funny, while I love feminine details, I'm very rarely ladylike. My ruffles tend to veer towards deconstructed, and looking put together feels a little "ladies who lunch" to me. But I had this beautiful dress by Christian Francis Roth that was tailored and classic looking, yet color-wise had a bit of edge. I believe my fiancé's exact words were, "That dress is screaming at me from behind a veil." And I knew it would be a perfect start to a look that would exemplify fall's trend of ladylike grace!I paired the dress with a cardigan with pearl buttons, ohmygosh I can't believe I even own that! It reminds me a little of Eloise at the Plaza ;) A belt on top, because a lady always shows off her figure, and then some close to kitten heels. They're probably two inches, which isn't tall but I maintain a kitten heel musy be less than that! I couldn't resist my wacky sunglasses though, at least they're oversized!

Don't you love how Kyoko is photo bombing my picture? She kept running in circles around me while I twirled, ahah.
I'm wearing:
Dress - Francis
Cardigan - J. Crew
Shoes - Cole Haan
Belt - Coach
Sunglasses - Quay Eyewear
Pearl Drop Earrings - Anthropologie
Silver Karma Necklace - Dogeared

Sheer Black Button Down

This sheer Elizabeth & James blouse has a nice texture to it! Kinda like a wrinkled linem or something - but the black makes it kinda season-less. Buy at Blue & Cream for the sale price of $125.

Cargo Leather Shorts

Aren't these just fabulous??? They look so zexy rugged and have great oversized pockets! Buy at Free People for $398.

Maze Skirt

I'm currently stalking a Gryphon skirt - this one isn't it (mine not in stores yet), but it's pretty high up there on the fabulous meter! I think I've already seen it sell out in one location and it's actually on sale right now at Bloomingdale's for $259! And in stock in every size!
