Fall 2014 Must-Haves: Shoes & Accessories

Here are my picks for some cute fall-ready shoes and accessories.


I've been wanting this Smathers and Branson (of course) key fob for just about forever. It's so cute, and will definitely put a little bit of summer into your day. It's a perfect way to make your dorm keys fun.


This belt is such a great staple item, and because there aren't real holes, it can do double duty-- loop it through your belt loops on your jeans, or cinch a shirtdress tight around your waist!


These are girls', but there are options for women here and here. I love the easy fall color palette on these shoes, but with the glam metallic gold, you'll always feel dressed up!


This leather tote bag from Mark and Graham is the perfect everyday staple, and bonus, you can monogram it!! I love the Emerald Green and Camel colors for fall, but I can totally imagine getting this bag in the Porcelain Blue for spring and summer. 


I've been seeing these Kendra Scott earrings EVERYWHERE, and I'm officially in love. I want them in every color, especially this light green and orange (more on that later). The Elle style is a little smaller than the larger Danielle, and a great starter option for someone who doesn't wear dangly earrings very often (A.K.A. me). Plus, these earrings are crazy versatile. They're a pretty basic design, which means they can easily be dressed up or down-- wear them to class with a navy and white striped top and dark wash jeans, or out for dinner with a little black dress. 


I've wanted these shoes for about a year, since I finally had to throw my old Minnetonkas away because I wore a hole into the side. I wore them everyday for like four years. Minnetonkas hold up great and are so comfortable, it's like wearing slippers everyday. This pair is moosehide, and that combined with the driving moccasin style keeps them from looking too boho, which is just really not me. 


Tortoise Shell for fall is a must, and this long link necklace is so effortless, you just pop it over your head, that it's pretty much a no-brainer. Love.

Fall 2014 Must-Haves: Bottoms & Dresses

Part two of my fall 2014 must-haves is here. 


I love the look of these cords. They look a little fancier than the regular jean-style, but they still look totally cozy and comfortable. I especially love the Redwood Branch and Pioneer Blue colors-- such nice pops of color for fall!


It would be impossible to not look put together in this dress. The classic lines and navy plaid are a perfect duo for fall. 



Ok, this might be the perfect skirt. It's mini, which is great for my petite frame, and it comes in PINK. Needless to say, I WANT. I can already picture a million different ways to wear this-- paired with a chunky sweater and loafers for a casual look, or dressed up with a cute blouse, statement necklace, and heels.


I love plaid. It's a problem. These pants are great because they hit at the ankle, making them more feminine than your average trousers. I also love the larger plaid on these.


I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS DRESS. I need a support group or something. This dress is seriously perfect. It's fitted, which is great for under blazers or sweaters, and the zippers on the side are such a fun unexpected detail! Plus, it just looks so comfortable.

Fall 2014 Must-Haves: Tops

"Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall." - F. Scott Fitzgerald

I LOVE FALL. It means a fresh start for everything, and of course, starting school. I love getting cute new school supplies, and buying clothes and shoes. I like navy and plaid and burgundy and anything wool.
I know, I know, I don't start classes until the 22nd, but I am going CRAZY waiting to get into the back-to-school groove. 
So, I'm doing a little series showcasing my personal Fall 2014 must-have items. 




This top is so cute. I bought mine almost immediately when it went on sale. It's perfect because it can so easily transition from summer to fall. I can't wait to start wearing this!


Yes, this is a kid's top, but LISTEN, I'M SMALL, and sometimes kid's clothes are the only clothes that fit me! I like this shirt because it has the comfort of a tee-shirt, but the look of a nicer blouse. It'll make getting ready in the morning that much easier. Plus, at only $45, who can resist the cute peter pan collar?


This just looks so cozy. Enough said.


I am LITERALLY SO OBSESSED with this sweater. The weight looks absolutely perfect, and I love love love the washed-out, weathered, indigo look. Plus, cable-knit anything is my weakness. I NEED THIS SWEATER. 

I just realized that every top is blue. Whatever. I love blue.

So what do you guys think? What are your fall must-haves?
