OBSESS: Fall Shoe Favorites

The summer is fading.  No matter how much we wish it would stay, it's slipping away.  BUT that means it's time to pull out FALL FAVORITES.  Fall clothes are my favorite.  I love pulling out that fuzzy sweater and my skinny jeans.  I love breaking out the suede and cashmere!  And better yet, I love not having to cover it up with a bulky, puffer jacket.

Fall stuff has hit stores already and there are a few pairs of kicks that have been OBSESSED.  Let's start with the Aquazzura Christy flats.  If there's an IT shoe this season, these have got to be them.

I can't stop thinking about them.
It's taking over my life.
I can't sleep...though I can surprisingly still eat...

While I feel like they're starting to take over Instagram which means that they're almost on the brink of mainstream...but I still love them.  The pointed toe makes them feel a little more fashion forward, while the lace-up feels delicate and classic like a ballet slipper.  Be prepared to drop some dough- $675 for these beauties.

My favorite boot of all time has to be the Alexander Wang Sigrid Boot.  I bought these boots a few years ago and even today, after years of stretching them and trudging them through the salt-ridden snowy mush streets of NYC, they're still snuggly fit against my legs and I get compliments on them all the time.

These boots are a staple in the Alexander Wang shoe collection and will set you back about $1,050.  They are WORTH IT.  The day that mine finally die, I'll be re-upping.

I love black as much as the next girl, but I do realize that my wardrobe needs color sometimes.  Garance Doré recently shared these burgundy beauties by Jil Sander on her site and I'm loving them, too.

Coming in under $500, these are available now for $420.

Do you have any Obsessions for Fall that you're dying to get your hands on??  If so, tell me about them!  A girl can never have too many pairs of shoes....right???

Ogle: Alison Lou Jewelry

Every now and then I find something that is just so spectacular that I can't look away.  Recently, while poking around on Instagram, I ran into Alison Lou Jewelry.  The piece that pulled me in wasn't even that weird.  It was a really cute "Mrs." Ring.  I think she's kind of known for them.  They're adorable:

She does these rings in white, yellow, and rose gold and you can choose your initial and the stone.  Loved it.  Upon further investigation, it turns out that Alison Lou isn't really just about this sappy, just married, new initial flinging audience.  She's WAY more than that.

Enter into her world of emoji jewelry.  Beware that you can get sucked in quickly.  Her stuff is all super whimsical and hilarious.  Like this Sh!t ring.  I LOVE IT SO MUCH.  I CAN'T LOOK AWAY.

She does a lot with emotional smileys, I'm a big fan of the Smiley stud...

 

And this really cute Celebration bracelet!

Downside?  This stuff is expensive.  They're not timeless enough that I want to sink a couple thousand dollars into them, but I do think they're really amazing and really cute.  While I start to feel kind of cliché for liking the Mrs. rings, that's actually the one item that I would probably pay the price for.  What do you think?  Would you rock that Shit right?? :)

Own: Summer Whites You Can Destroy

I love the trend of wearing lots of white in the summer, but there are SO many ways to get completely dirty in NYC that I had avoided wearing white for so long.  From the random mystery drops of water in the subway to the dirty hands of strangers that you might come in contact with, just the idea of wearing white gave me anxiety.

The solution for me was to find cheap, white clothes!  That way, my heart would be broken when I inevitably discovered an unremovable stain in the back of my perfectly white blouse.

Here's my round up of wonderful whites that are definitely affordable and totally okay to destroy.

These two are from the Gap and I totally love them.  So affordable and simple.  You could wear them pretty much anywhere and because they're cotton, there's also no need to dry clean.

Lastly, my picks from Zara.  So many things are on sale right now and there are so many more cute white items, but I thought it would be overwhelming to post them all.  I love a good pair of white fitted pants and the ones from Zara are only $40!
