The weather outside is absolutely gorgeous, the changing colors are in full swing and it wouldn't truly be fall if I didn't do a gathering of some of my must-haves for the season. For real though, the colors outside have been so gorgeous and the weather has slowly been reaching my ideal temperature. If only it could stay like this year round, I would literally be so happy. This year has had me wanting all types of cable knit sweaters, TONS of plaid, details of velvet and colors of deep berry red. Luckily I have been able to add most of this to my wardrobe already, but that doesn't mean I can't plan ahead properly for the rest of the season! Here are ten things on my must-have list for fall - maybe even winter as well.
1. Women's Double L Mixed Cable Sweater, Crewneck ($45): So I've officially found my new favorite must-have for fall and winter this year! The cable knit sweater is so comfortable, fashionable and just an all-around feel good item to have in your wardrobe. I've already bought two of them from Old Navy, so I'm definitely on the hunt to find others in a variety of colors, like this one from L.L. Bean!
2. Velvet Chain Choker ($11): Definitely an item that I was not expecting to enjoy, as I have never really had the desire to wear chokers with any outfit I put on. I never even wore chokers when I was younger, but for some reason it's piqued my interest lately. It has to be velvet though, not lace.
3. Plaid Flannel Shirt ($35): I couldn't do a fall must-have list without plaid, I mean, HELLO!
4. Women's Nalia Ballet Flats in Burgundy ($25): These flats are so adorable and play on one of my favorite trends for fall. Can't wait to get them, as they will be perfect to transition into winter as well.
5. Two-in-One Reversible Bomber Jacket ($150): All about having a jacket that plays a dual role - from day to night!
6. Rainforest of the Sea™ Water Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15 ($39): It may be getting cold out but I'm going to be wearing more layers, so that just means I'll need a extra protective foundation to apply. Love the ROTS collection for tarte cosmetics, and their foundation always leave my skin feeling smooth and natural.
7. Pumpkin ($36): This ADORABLE Lush Cosmetics Halloween gift is sadly sold out everywhere, but I had to include it in this list. I truly hope they come out with it next year, it's such a great deal and has some amazing products that will last you throughout the season.
8. Hematite-Tone Pavé Glitter Rose and Vine Hinged Collar Necklace ($95): How beautiful is this necklace? It screams fall to me!
9. Stay Matte Not Flat Liquid Foundation ($7.50): Another foundation, more on the budget-friendly side. I've been using this foundation for the past three months and its made my skin feel soft and radiant throughout the entire day.
10. Diptyque Vanilla Mini Candle ($32): During the fall, you always need a decent candle that will last you throughout a sitting. This one will do just that!

 We’ve magically transitioned into September, and I have no idea how we got here. Days have been blurring together and I can’t believe we’re almost done with this year?! I’m quite excited though that we’re now going to be wearing more layers, pairing outfits with fun boots and I’m generally very enthusiastic about the overall aesthetic of fall. Is anyone else agree that this season is by far the prettiest of them all? I’m in my element during this time, and fashion is just an adding factor to all of it. Like I did last year, I’ve rounded up 13 items that are essential to me. This year is a little different, I’m looking into more beauty items and accessories that I would not normally wear. There’s always room to change and a new month is a great time to do so. Shop all the links below!

"She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light"
 
If you've never heard Lana Del Rey's cover of "Blue Velvet", I highly recommend listening to it right now. It is the dreamiest, melodic and soothing cover I've ever heard of a song. The video is even better, especially since it's an ad for H&M! This brings me to the inspiration behind today's post, since blue velvet is such a gorgeous fabric and enhances any thing it touches. I'm really excited to see if it will come back during NYFW this year, it's such a beautiful and romantic trend that is entirely wearable. There are so many new and surprising ways that velvet can be explored and experimented on, and I hope we'll see an inventive way from some of the big designer houses. Be inspired and take a walk on the velvet side.

Have any of you seen these beautiful shots from Anthropologie's November lookbook?! It is quite a lovely sight, and doesn't fail to leave you feeling inspired and want to go traveling... I'm such a sucker for a romantic setting, especially one like the Scottish Isles, that takes you away to a happier place filled with beautiful fashion and music. What better way to immerse yourself into this lookbook than to actually see it in motion? Go check out the video Anthropologie posted that will make the experience 100x better! The photo above is exactly what I feel after watching it. Also, click through each image to shop the outfit you see in it! So many lovely options, which one would you choose?!

I've officially caught the fall bug, y'all! It's slowly been creeping into my senses while the weather here has been changing. I cannot believe summer is almost over with, it doesn't feel like we even had the season. We may still have a couple weeks left until it's officially Autumn, but I'm so excited for the changing colors and crisp air that will be brought upon us. If the night air is going to be like it has been for the past couple days, I'm down for it to stay like that. Fall is always so refreshing to me, not only because of the weather, but because of the change in wardrobe and inspiration. Knee-high boots, rich colors and collared shirts are going to be the norm for me this season. I'm especially in love with J.Crew's fall collection, I mean that embellished boy shirt is to die for. It even comes in my size! I just have to find something similar that I can afford. Any suggestions?!
