Falling for Fall

I have been pushing this post off for a while because although summer is long gone, autumn still doesn't seem to be here quite yet! I am so ready for pumpkins (and pumpkin spice lattes!!), corn maizes, scarves, and boots! But they just don't fit in 80-90 degree weather! However today seemed fitting to share my favorites of this season because it is finally the official first day of fall. Click the name of the item to shop!

 Sweaters, Sweaters, Sweaters 

The Tippi Sweater by J. Crew is a very suitable option for this time of year as it is very light but it can also be layered with a collared shirt underneath or a vest overtop! It comes in an insane amount of colors, neutrals and bright pops to add some diversity to your wardrobe! I own it in navy- of course and have a similar piece from C. Wonder in a color similar to "hthr saddle". And as I am writing this I saw they're 25% off so I will probably be purchasing some more! Definitely a staple for fall!

Blanket Scarves

This season blanket scarves are all the rave. They are warm, cozy, and absolutely adorable. What more could you ask for? Some of my favorites are linked below...

Watch Plaid by Bourbon and Boots - the watch plaid is my personal favorite because it is such a classic print but I also do like the other prints as well!

Oversized Orange and Blues by ASOS - most likely this would be better for towards the end of fall and into the winter when the temperatures drop.

Aerie Blanket Scarf In Deep Plum  - I particularly like this option because it includes very fall colors.

Outerwear 

Excursion Quilted Down Vest by J.Crew - this piece is perfect for layering over sweaters. Comes in 7 beautiful fall colors.

Barbour - a classic coat that can be worn from the end of Autumn all the way through winter.

The Downtown Field Jacket by J.Crew -  I own this jacket  (and ironically so does Meredith Grey one of my favorite characters from TV) and absolutely love it! 

Sperrys to Boots

Early fall is literally meant for pants and Sperrys. So many cute options to match to your particular outfit. My personal favorite are the traditional boat shoes . 

When temperatures begin to plummet out come the riding boots and when its raining... the hunters! Linked below are my favs....

Tori Burch Derby Riding Boots - so adorable, but so expensive. Ha. A girl can dream. 

Sperry Cedar Boot - a more practical option. I purchased them on Rue La La for a even more reduced price! 

Bean Boots by L.L. Bean  - especially favored in Navy. They're backordered so I am hoping to get a pair by Christmas!

Hunter Original Woman's Tall in Hunter Green - for those rainy fall days!

Thanks for reading! May your Autumn season be filled with many Pumpkin Spice Lattes and pretty leaves! 

I'm a (Seer) Sucker for Lilly

This morning I woke up to have discovered a box on my door step. I can't tell you how excited I have been for this day. I finally received my items I'd purchased from the Lilly Pulitzer After Party sale that took place on August 17th and 18th. I usually don't shop from this sale because I tend to get my fill of Lilly at the Midnight Madness sale (in Nantucket). However I only have positive things to say about my first experience with the After Party sale. It was very organized and the system (wait in a virtual line, items in your bag aren't on hold etc.) was very well explained before hand. Anyway lets get to what I had purchased! 

 "Angela Strapless Dress"
Original Price: $228
Sale Price: $49

This dress was definitely the best steal out of all of them! Even though Fall is so close I will be able to wear this probably at least once before summer is over and all of next summer (and hopefully on a vacation in between!) 

"Anna Maria Button Down Shirt"
Original Price: $98
Sale Price: $29

I'll be able to wear this top through the fall. Its perfect for right now- you know the awkward time when you don't know if you should be wearing a sundress with sandals or jeans with riding boots- because it is both "summery" yet "fallish". 

"Tate Lace Detail Skirt"
Original Price: $98
Sale Price: $49

"Pearl Shift Dress"
Original Price: $198
Sale Price: $99
I'm in love with this print! I have it in a pair of linen pants as well! Adorable.

"Fisher Bikini Top"
"Fisher Bikini Bottom"
Original Price: between $50-$70 (I was so excited to try this on I got rid of the tags too quickly!)
Sale Price: $29 each

I am in love with everything about this suit! The print and the style!

"Captiva Tunic Coverup"
Original Price: $118
Sale Price: $39

Super cute! I love the subtle print for a nice relaxing day at the pool or beach!

"5 in. Callahan Shorts"
Original Price: $64
Sale Price: $44

I'm really happy about these shorts because I can wear them to school because they follow our dress code. Although they won't be any good to me in a few weeks I can wear them in the Spring!

"Printed Large Pick Me Up Pouch"
Original Price: $32
Sale Price: $14

Okay... It was $14... how couldn't I? It is pretty large so I will be using it for cosmetics most likely!

Although most of these are very summery I don't think it was silly to buy any of these because I know I will wear them next year, the prices were amazing, and the quality of anything made by Lilly is amazing! They will hold up for a while!

Lastly- I did the math. I saved $576- more than I even spent! So I would say that it was very successful and I recommend it for next summer to anyone who loves Lilly!
