Falling for Autumn: Part 1

August 17th, 2010


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

    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.
