Is anyone in need of some shopping inspiration? Well, nobody asked, but I'm certainly delivering anyway. With a dizzying number of new pieces hitting the market, it can be downright intimidating to peruse what's out there in the hopes of making a little wardrobe update. But that's where I come in, friends. On a typical day, I do some online browsing to highlight the very best shopping picks of the moment, but today, I'm taking it a step further by showing you what we're personally adding to our closets and including some inspirational outfit photos.
There's no doubt our editors are a stylish bunch. (I look to their Instagrams for my own style ideas.) So when I tell you these new tops, dresses, shoes, and bags are it, I think you'll agree. From the new Gucci bag Bobby is flaunting to Lauren's It flats and the maxi dress I'll be living in all fall long, keep scrolling for the new fashion favorites we added to our closets in August.
"The second I saw these Miu Miu ballet flats come down the runway, I knew I would be splurging on them come fall. It took me a minute to decide between all the stunning colors, but I have no regrets getting the brown pair. I find that I want to wear them with absolutely everything which is great news considering they weren't the cheapest purchase of my life."
In case you've somehow missed it, Abercrombie is back. In place of the logo-filled wares that used to fill the mall brand during my own middle school days, the retailer now touts a collection of cool basics with a neutral and minimalist bent. This lace-trimmed slip dress is seriously impressing me and everyone who comment on it is similarly shocked to know its sources.
Loafers may be trending now, but this pair from timeless label G.H. Bass is forever. After internet stalking this exact pair for months, I finally found it in stock in my size at Anthropologie. Shopping tip: size down by a half size as they're known to stretch and mold to your foot as you break them in.
Okay, fall, I'm ready for you now. Contrary to the above evidence, I'm actually not the biggest dress person but as soon as I slipped into this Realisation Par number, it was love at first try. It has the perfect slinky fit and versatile shape that I can already tell I'll be wearing on repeat with everything from heels to boots to flats.
"I recently got these tie-up satin ballet flats from Tory Burch, and I can not sing higher praises for them. They've quickly become the only shoe I want to wear because they're comfortable, cute, and bring in all the compliments."
"I just got this fun crystal bag and can not wait to wear it this fall. It's the perfect amount of sparkle."
"I just got this oversized button-down for fall, and I'm so grateful I got it. It's hard for me to find button-downs that fit my bust, but this is so flattering on and is bound to become my most beloved top."
"I was reluctant to try out fisherman sandals, but this pair from J.Crew has been my most worn shoe this month. They go with everything from casual to dressed-up pieces."
"I'm really into double denim for fall, and this oversized denim jacket has the ideal fit I'd like when trying out the classic look."
"I just got these beautiful loafers on Italist. They're so sleek and will become my new go-to shoe this fall."
"This little bag is an investment piece that I'll use for years. I love the shape and the navy hue."
"I'm obsessed with this new indie brand Haus Label that NYC-based publicist Karina Trofimova recently launched. Everything is made of swimsuit material so it's perfect for summer and can be worn in literally dozens of different ways."
"I'm legitimately obsessed with these linen trousers. They are so comfortable but also super elevated and appropriate for any occasion."
"Ukranian label Cultnaked has the most stunning takes on faux leather pieces, which immediately caught my eye when I spotted Kendall Jenner wearing them. I’ve always been a bit of a ’90s style enthusiast, and this is the perfect option for anyone who similarly wants to tap into to cool minimalism of fashion from the decade."
"Summering-in-Italy-approved."
"These jeans were made for me. Literally. I got a pair of custom tailored jeans from the brand Lenny, and let me tell you: I’ll never be the same. I’ve never had a pair of jeans fit me so well—the cut is perfect, the sizing is exactly what I’ve always wanted in a pair of jeans, and the fabric is ridiculously soft. I even added a little personalization because why not. This is the only way to buy jeans now, I’m positive!"
