Truth be told it's taken every ounce of restraint I have to hold out on wearing my favorite tall boots.  Now that October is here, all bets are off and the boots are on.  We all know how the shoe makes the outfit and if that's the tipping point then the boot most definetly makes the wardrobe.  This is never more true than in the fall.  Whether we're talking skirts, shorts or the ever popular skinny jean, the tall boot plays so well with all.   What's even better is how many fantastic buying options there are for this go-to footwear.  It's obvious to say that so many of us fell in love with this gorgeous style from Stuart Weitzman.  What started with the 50/50 boot, beautifully designed and wonderfully flattering this boot is admittedly a bit pricey but pays for itself with every sexy stride.  Some of the more casual styles are also going to be perfect for these crisp days and chilly nights.  Cognac leather is so classic and lovely especially when paired with quintessially fall pieces like ponchos and pea coats and chic cozy sweaters. Camels, greys, wines and heathers all look incredible when worn with a pair of boots like these.  Of course as a huge fan of all things Tory Burch, I'm also adoring these two pairs (here and here).  For more affordable options you can check out these other options here and here (under $100).  I hope you all are as excited for the weekend as I am…so much fall fun to enjoy!  Have a fabulous weekend!

Lately I'm obsessed with what I consider the staples of fall meaning scarves, boots and vests.  The lovely thing is, I'm not alone.  It seems like every other girl I know is mixing and matching some combination of this trinity,  fit to suit her own style.  What I love is that these pieces can be styled in so many fresh ways.  They can go casual or get dressed up, whatever your mood or need be.  This ivory quilted vest is so sweet and so versatile as well.  I'd pair it with a soft and cozy camel sweater like this one, a cute skirt this scarf and these amazing boots for a great fall day look.  Similarly, these ankle boots would be perfect with your favorites black skinnies (so craving these), a slim turtleneck and this incredible scarf.  Toss on a couple of your favorite jewelry pieces (love wearing these with absolutely everything!)  Just like that you're date night ready.  Switching up your look and adding versatility can really be as easy as it seems.  Key pieces like these make it so simple.  You can shop each of your faves via the thumbnails below.  Enjoy and have a lovely Monday everyone!

Fall fashion is easily one of my absolute favorite facets of styling and one of which I can just somehow, never get enough of.  Fall 2012 is no exception.  From saddle shades of logo embossed boots to richly saturated sweaters, one's closet easily runneth over.  And, while I could easily spend the entire week detailing all the season's fabulous finds, let's look at the highlight reel for now....

//BAGS//  Season after season, Tory Burch's appeal knows no limit.  This time around, her soft summer  hues and their complementary fruit-flavored brights have ripened into an array of deep plums and blues to mention just a few.  Marc Jacobs presents just as well with this gorgeous soft pebble hobo I am completely craving right now.  

//SWEATERS//  For as long as I can remember, I've always been a sweater girl.  There's just nothing quite as cozy as slipping into a soft and warm turtleneck or cardi.  This one here is just that and comes in two color combos (burgundy and blue or black and white) for you to choose from.  Enjoy.


//BOOTS//  I have officially begun boot season and my feet could not be happier.  What flip flops are to most girls, boots are to me.  I guess I just love the versatility they lend to any outfit and the classic equestrian feel they evoke.  My favorite pairs of the season are these by Tory Burch and Ralph Lauren. Classic perfection.


//SCARVES//  What the turtleneck does for sweaters, the scarf does for just about any look you casually love.  With the endless prints, patterns and color palettes available, these one time partners of woolly mittens, have become a fashion focal point all year round.

So those chilly October winds seem more than apropos as I happily snuggle into my fall favorites.  How are you styling the season?  I'd love to see your top picks as well.

Have a beautiful Monday!

XOXO
