Fall Must-Haves

I set out to make a list of the top ten must-haves for fall but couldn't narrow it down so, it's a top eleven list. You, however, should narrow it down. Don't feel the need to go out and buy everything on this list, just pick 2-4 items that really speak to you to add a little freshness to your fall wardrobe.

1. Long pleated skirt: so feminine and ethereal; just remember to keep the pleats small and delicate not school girl-y
2. Navajo inspired prints: we often see tribal prints on trend but this season we're seeing some unique Navajo and western inspired ones
3. Cape: such a fun layering option
4. Colored jeans: these usually look best in a skinny version
5. Striped sweater: such a great weekend option paired with jeans
6. Color-blocked handbag: a unique option, choose a classic shape with two or more tones
7. Wedge ankle boot: great with a pair of wide leg jeans
8. Fur trimmed coat: or you can go with a fur trimmed cardigan
9. Stacked heel boot: all the height with none of the hurt, stacked heels are much more comfy than stilettos
10. Chunky knit sweater: so cozy!
11. Slim, cropped pant : pair with flats a la Audrey Hepburn or roll up the bottom and pair with a stacked heel

Shopping for Missoni at Target

That's right, you read that correctly: Missoni has created a line for Target! This is probably one of the biggest designer collaborations Target has ever done. The 400 piece collection will hit stores (and online) on September 13 and I have a feeling these things are going to go fast. Here are some of my favorites:

The swimsuit is adorable, the maxi and long cardigan, while a little matchy-matchy together would be great individual pieces and I would wear that cape/cardigan with an all black outfit or jeans all winter.

If you're intimidated by Missoni's sometimes loud prints, take a baby step with some accessories. Prediction: those flats will be one of the first things to sell out and the printed bobby pins are to die for!

There are even pieces for men and kids. I'm loving these ties. And this jacket and rain boots are so adorable for a little girl.

I'm actually most excited about some of the pieces for the home. I would buy everything pictured above.

And how can you resist this bicycle?! I rarely ride a bike and this one might motivate even me to hop on two wheels more often.

Happy shopping and let me know what you score!
