Fall Decouvertes

And today, I am going to share with you some ridiculously FAB finds for this autumn — most are under $100, all are under $150, and every single one has made me stop and stare.

Though I was on the whole a little underwhelmed by the Phillip Lim for Target collection, there was one star of the show for me: these adorable cami-and-tap-short combos!  Lim had an expensive version out for his regular line a year or two ago and I eyeballed them for months, and then decided there were better uses for my hard-earned money.  Now I can get the look for a fraction of the price ($29 for nude-and-black; $29 for cheetah):

I mentioned my obsession with the sweater-jacket-bomber-ish-thing I’ve been seeing all over the place.  This style by Club Monaco ($150) absolutely takes the cake. I need it.  Like, yesterday.

Yes.  Wouldn’t it look fab with a little flippy skirt (as you know, I now own this in black + white — currently on sale for 25% off!)?  (The one shown below is also Club Monaco — $150).

I am pretty much the pickiest shoe person ever.  I am especially picky about the heel and toe of boots — sometimes they just look so clunky/awkward to me.  So it’s been an epic struggle to find a pair of wedged boots/booties for myself for this fall.  (For example, I liked the idea of this high-shaft wedge Alexander Wang from The Outnet, but the toe is terrifying with that strange seam.)  I’m in LOVE with this affordable pair, however ($139) — love that gleaming gold buckle, the heel height, the rounded toe.  Very high fashion for a great price.  I’ll wear these with skinnies tucked into them.

(Also available in a warm brown hue.)

I HAD to snap up the light brown heathered version of this adorable elbow-patch sweater ($98 — but remember the 25% off code!) — OBSESSED.  I love the slightly longer hem in the back, the loose fit.  I wore it yesterday with my favorite jeans and moccasins and felt like fall had finally come!

These snakeskin-print loafers are just flat out awesome — they’re also 100% leather, so a pretty good bargain at $49, especially since they are running a 35% off all full-price purchases right now.  Also available in a punchy red and luxe camel.  Get thee to Gap…

I MAY have mentioned (slash overdone) my obsession with bow-front blouses for this season…and this $100 black style is a slam dunkeroo.  Don’t mind if I do…

After a stint with pale pink / nearly white nail polish this summer, I’m back to Essie’s Really Red for fall.

You may not be able to afford an Hermes enamel bangle, but these two C. Wonder finds gave me serious pause.  Wouldn’t these look fab layered with a bunch of other gleaming gold arm party attendees?!  ($68 for black; $68 for navy.)

Which of these bad boy stops your list?!
