Five Friday Favorites - Fall Shoes

You guys really liked last week's Five Friday Favorites focused on outerwear pieces for fall/winter so I thought I'd keep it going with shoes this week. 

#1 - Booties
LEFT - shirt / jeans / booties
RIGHT - sweater / vest / booties

Who doesn't love a good pair of booties.?!?!  I know I do, in fact I'm slightly obsessed and have five pairs in my closet.  In my defense, I've collected them over the past few years and wear them ALL THE TIME in the fall and winter.  I have two basic black pairs (one heel, one flat) and three beige/nude ones (one flat pair I bought this year and two with heels).  There are so many great booties out there but I'm partial to Vince Camuto...they are so comfortable and really great quality.  Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack have great options available! 


#2 - Rainboots 
 LEFT - jacket (similar) / shirt / leggings / boots
RIGHT - shirt (similar) / vest / jeans / boots (similar)

I've really needed rain boots this season...it has rained SO much.  These are a staple on rainy days, esspecially on the weekends when I'm out running errands or at mini's games.  They are comfortable and cute.  I've had the black glossy pair for 5+ years and they are still in excellent condition.  I recently had a great find of these blue shorter ones at Nordstrom RackHunters are definitely worth the splurge because they will last AND you can use them all year round...just put some of the sock liners in when the weather gets cold and you've got snow boots! 

#3 - Fashionable Sneakers 
LEFT - shirt / jeans (similar) / sneakers 
RIGHT - shirt / cami / necklace / jeans (similar) / sneakers

I never had "fashionable" sneakers in my closet till having kids and was running around all the time.  Now I've got a few go-to pairs that I basically live in on the weekends during the fall/spring months.  If you are looking for a pair that will go with basically any weekend casual outfit then I would recommend either of the two I have above...so comfortable and a great neutral to pair with anything!  I also love these black Vince ones that are on sale and these Target pink ones.    

#4 - High Boots
LEFT - shirt (similar) / jeans (similar) / boots
RIGHT - sweater / jeans / boots

I LOVE me a high boot.  You will start to see me in these ALL the time in the later fall, early winter months.  They are cute, comfortable and really make an outfit.  In my closet, I've got a basic flat black pair, a dressier black heel pair I wear to work, a flat brown pair (on the right) that I wear the most and I just added the pair of the left from Target...a cute suede slouchy style.  With these boots I recommend investing in a pair of Frye or Sam Edelman's for your everyday ones and then the more trendy ones get at like a Target because you never know how long they will be in style.  

#5 - Flats 
LEFT - shirt / purse / necklace / jeans / shoes
RIGHT - shirt (similar) / jeans / shoes (similar)

Flats can be a girls best friend or incredible uncomfortable.  I have a few go-to flats that have gotten me through 18+ hours on my feet...my favorite hands down, most comfortable flats are from Tory Burch.  They are definitely a splurge but last forever and are very comfortable.  I have three pairs (black, black patent, brown) and have had all three for 5+ years! If you are looking for a great neutral flat...check out these from Caslon...bunch of colors available but I have the nude for a nice go with any color.  I also love a fun flat too...and these leopard ones from J.Crew Factory are fun but not nearly as comfortable.  They are good for a basic work day.

Favorite September Looks

 September was a VERY dreary month here in the DC area.  I think it rained at least (if not more than) 75% of the time.  It was weird dressing weather with some cool and some warmer days.  Here are my favorite looks from the month -

top (on sale) / necklace / earrings / jeans (on sale) / shoes

Love this blouse from LOFT.  You can dress it up or down and it's on sale plus an additional 40% off!  The jeans are also a staple of mine from Kut from the Kloth and they are on sale too!   

shirt / necklace / sunnies jeans (similar) / sneakers

I love a good rugby shirt and this BP one is on point with the navy and pink combo.  Perfect for running around on the weekends.  And it's under $40!   

jacket / tank (similar) / earrings / jeans / flats (similar) 

Finally got to wear this jacket!  I got it at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  Lucky for you it's still available.  Also comes in black.  Highly recommend.  


EVERY woman should own this tank.  It is SOOO flattering and extremely comfortable.  Very soft cotton with the most beautiful lace detail.  Great on it's own or layer with cardigan or jacket.   

shirt / necklace / bracelet / bracelet / jeans (similar) / shoes

I might look like a hot mess in this pic (was taken before I went to get my hair done) but I LOVE this look.  It's so comfortable and still looks put together with really no effort.  The SOFTEST top and it comes in black and dark gray.

Fall Wardrobe Staples - Outerwear

Fall is by far my favorite time of year for clothes so I'm going to do a whole series on what I think your fall wardrobe essentials should be.  Many of these items I've had in my closet for years and they are my go-tos when the weather starts to cool down.  First up is outerwear!

Navy Blazer
It's not really outerwear but more a layering piece...wasn't sure how to classify this one so it's going in outerwear for now.  This is a go-to piece for me for work in the fall because it goes with soo many things.  I'm not a fan of the "lady" suit but I do love a good blazer and my navy one gets a lot of use.  The one pictured below is from J.Crew Factory (three years ago) and it has stood the test of time.  It goes with anything...a nice dress, a graphic tee or simple long sleeve shirt.  It can be paired with flats, boots or booties.  Here are three different looks I love -

Boots - http://shopstyle.it/l/ffus
Necklace - http://shopstyle.it/l/ffzH

Quilted Vest
I love a good quilted vest in the fall...I might have a slight obsession with them.  J.Crew started making them a few years ago and I began my collection with a fun orange one that I love to wear with a navy stripe shirt (seen below) and then J.Crew Factory had them at a much better price so I added bright pink and navy...and now this season I've added this patterned one to the mix.  What I love about these is I can wear them for a casual day/night out or if I'm lounging in my athleisure wear.  I've only ever gotten the J.Crew ones but they last, I have washed them and they come out looking great.  Here are a few ways I style it -

Utility Jacket
A good utility jacket goes with about any outfit. It's a great for a layering look and I love giving it a little something extra with a scarf for color.  I actually found the perfect utility jacket (in my opinion) from Madewell during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale...and it's still available here.  Great fit (runs on the smaller side so I'd size up, I'm wearing a small)...good quality and really looks good with anything.  Not a fan of this one, you can check out my blog post from a couple weeks ago where I featured a few other utility jacket options.  Here's how I plan on styling this jacket -

Fleece Jacket
A good fleece jacket is perfect for those really cool mornings or evenings in the fall and I like to give myself options depending on outfit.  I try to keep these types of jackets to neutral colors like creams and grays so they can go with anything.   Here are a two of my favorite fleeces -

Closing out May's OOTD


Closing out May with some of the latest OOTD.  Favorite outfit would have to be the Lilly Pulitzer short's and top...you will see it a lot this summer!  My favorite pieces would be the J.Crew New Balance shorts and Target tee (worn twice).  And my favorite jewelry is a tie between the Stella & Dot necklace (don't forget Stella & Dot dollars) and Nordstrom Half Yearly sale purchase BP necklace (which I'm giving away on Christina's Favorite Things Facebook page).
