Falling for Autumn: Part 1

I realize that it’s still August and in most parts of the country it’s hot, humid and sticky and the last thing you can think about is fall clothes. But I can’t help it. Plus, if I waited until it actually cooled down, it would be November and many of the clothes I’m currently lusting after would be long gone. Since there are so many different things on my radar, I figured I’d break them up into several parts so that it’s not too much to handle for those of you that are currently beach-side or pool bound.
1. Antik Batik Dream Embellished Blazer, $575
2. All Saints Alesky Shorts, $175
3. J.Crew Galaxy Purse, $395
4. Topshop Buckle Leather Strap Satchel, $170
5. Topshop Army Cape Jacket, $110
6. Steve Madden Trouser, $69.95
7. Beyond Vintage Lace Batwing Top, $320
8. Paul & Joe Festi Lace Mini Skirt, $590

I cant help it too…That jacket is so cute and who doesn’t love a great bag like that, right?
Happy Tuesday,sweetie
I think I should follow your need and start thinking about Autumn fashion now so that I am able to able purchase the pieces that I have been lusting after since the catwalk collections.
Love the sequin blazer, ever since Rachel Bilson wore a navy one I have been on the hunt for the perfect shaped one at the right price.
Also adore the Paul&Joe lace skirt as I love pretty much anything made out of lace!

the sequin jacket is a DREAM and the topshop satchel is a great price conscious alternative to the mulberry or the PS1:) Love it!

it’s still almost 100 degrees here, but i really can’t stop daydreaming about fall and my new wardrobe.
This perfect for me. It’s certainly Autumnal weather England . . .
loving #4 and #6!!!!
I am drooling over every single piece up there!

love this series, ready for fall!
Love the sequins!
I think we never even had a summer here in Scotland… I never packed away my winter wardrobe because I would only need them again the next week – its my summer stuff I need to say bye bye to pretty soon.
I prefer winter fashions anyway – layering always looks good

I love that sequin jacket and parka
I have been lusting after a pair of shorts like the All Saints ones above. They’d be perfect for day or night, but I haven’t been able to bring myself to rock such hardcore sequins yet. I can’t help but look at fall clothes either: it feels like I’m doing something wrong by looking in such gross weather, though!

I’ve just arrived home to London from New York, and it does feel like Autumn already here!
I love all of this – especially all mixed up together! Sequin shorts, lace top, manish brogues and parka – yes please!

I love that bag! Where are the shoes from? I think the credit for them got misplaced… I’m obsessing over a pair of cracked gold oxfords by Boutique 9 for the fall!
Loving the borrowed from boys stuff. I am really into that look right now.

Love the borrowed from boys and the lovely lace. i’m also starting to think about the next collection but that’s because i left the summer time in lisbon to pass my holidays in netherland, where is cold and raining. that’s life and i can’t wait to start shopping
X o x o

lucky you, currently in warwick, england it is autumn weather now. in november it’s winter!
I’m loving it all… especially the lace paired with the stuff borrowed from a boy. I think the shoes got lost in the mix, where are they from??
I totally started a bit of fall shopping…just couldn’t help myself
http://jammer10am.blogspot.com/
If I was ten years younger, ok 15 then, I’d dress head to toe in All Saints.
I can’t help it either yet I feel guilty since winters here are especially brutal. But I could certainly enjoy that lace skirt and Topshop satchel now!
http://idlefascination.blogspot.com/
I can’t wait for the weather to change. Great items …
http://xoxoebony.blogspot.com
Loving all those trends! Can’t wait for fall! I’ve had enough of summer, haha

I can’t wait for fall either. Even though it seems that it will never arrive. The heat and humidity never seems to break.
im so in love with the topshop bag. its officially on my fall lust list. great post!!
I am into sequins any time all the time!!

I LOVE sequins….J Crew has some great sequin pieces in their collection…..

I’m part of the country that is hot, humid, and gross but posts like this make me ready for a crisp breeze. Thank you for the inspiration.

I’m with you – cannot WAIT to bust out the tights and boots.
Love the mix of girly + masculine! That Galaxy purse is on my wishlist!

Love the jacket!
http://www.FashionSnag.com
oh i can’t help myself, either. it’s 90 degrees and 100% humidity but i can’t stop looking at sweaters and leather jackets. it’s only natural!
xx anna jane
I like that tan bag.
Glad to see lace sticking around!
I can’t stop thinking about fall clothes either. I love the skirt! I want to incorporate more skirts into my wardrobe and stop buying so many dresses. Dresses are starting to bore me, and I would rather have more skirts/tops so I can mix and match.

http://washingtondcfashion.blogspot.com/
I’ve never been a lace kind of a girl, but I love those 2 pieces!
They’re all fairly ok pieces on their own. But I think once YOU dress them up/plan the outfit then you will look fabulous.
I probably wouldn’t purchase any of them myself. Then again…it’s approaching SPRING here
So funny! I included the Topshop buckle satchel in my roundup today!

l.o.v.e.ing bronzy sequins for fall. xx
LOVE the sequins:) i am a huge fan of anything shiny!!
http://dressedupallligators.blogspot.com/
I’m in the same boat! I keep daydreaming about beautiful fall collections…so many gorgeous ones how are we supposed to still be thinking about summer?
I adore the sequin jacket and have been wondering if I’ll be able to find an affordable sequin jacket this Fall that doesn’t look cheap or cheesy. We’ll have to wait and see.

It’s so humid in Boston today that I am craving fall right now! Utilitarian I think is a big go-to for me, although I’d love to find a way to make sequins work for a corporate setting – any advice?
Becca
I’m really loving Topshop bags right now. The one you picked is fabulous, and there’s another satchel that’s great for work too.
http://www.janehasajob.com
i want everything on that list!
I love the sequins and that satchel is to die for.\

LOVE that first jacket — saw a girl wearing something similar at an event a few weeks ago, but hers was from H&M! she said it was only $15!
Love pretty much everything on here! Just wish I could afford it all (or any of it) right now. : ( Guess I will juts have to find the cheap versions. FYI – Steve Madden has some great tux shoes on sale right now for super cheap. Was thinking about getting them even though I know my friends won’t accept the trend. Oh well, that’s their problem.
I want the satchel.. and I want it now..

oh my goodness. i am loving that sequined blazer and the leather satchel.
i cannot wait for fall to get here. unfortunately it’s still 100+ degrees here in arizona!
I adore that lacey top! Oh, and you’re right! Sometimes it’s hot until September and all the Fall-ish clothes are already out! We would miss everything!
http://www.stylethroughhereyes.com
I’m so excited for fall clothes too! I need to do my “back to school” shopping, haha
I’m the same way! I love the sequins for day especially, just bought myself a sequined vest that I wear all the time. Can’t wait for it to cool down so I can wear more of fall clothing!
All of your picks are great. I feel the same way, I want to buy everything for fall but it is still so hot!

i want the satchel, it looks magnificently slouchy!
I’m falling in love with the look borrowed from guys^^ moreover, it could be very feminine on girls^^
I’ve already purchased two pairs of boots for the fall and winter, so I’m all over cooler months now.

Loving the sequins and lace! I spent way too much time yesterday looking for a sequined bolero. No luck.
i JUST purchased the bv lace top from neimans (cusp) in sf and it was $180!

I’m so feeling menswear for fall. I am glad to see that sequins are sticking around for another season…i may or may not have bought a disco ball of a sequin dress last fall…
Very cute Emily! I’ve already done my Fall shopping too even though it’s really hot. I just can’t wait to get things either! I love the shoes, I had my eye on a pair by Joie, the Louie Louie’s, they are SO cute! I saw them on Hilary Duff a little while back when I blogged her on DenimBlog.

I’m in love with it all. Your so right, why wait to lust after adorable fall clothes?
That’s so funny, I’m lusting after the same exact Steve Madden Trouser Oxfords! I tried them on at Nordstrom the other day, and I think I’m going to go back and get them VERY soon
I loveee the menswear for the Fall
