Fall Fashion is here but thats about all we get in Houston. We dream about cold days drinking hot chocolate on the porch and sitting around the fire in big cozy sweaters but, that won't be happening for a while.... We are still months away. What do you love about Fall the most and what is your Fall Must Have this season?
We have a lot going down this week!
Jacob and I are roadtripping to Atlanta today for his Best Friends Wedding. Yes we are driving, well he is driving... I will sleep! Tuesday we will be celebrating Claire and Jacob's birthdays, Wednesday is Bachelor/Bachelorette hang time, Thursday is Turkey day with friends, Friday is the rehearsal dinner (not to mention, our shop re opens!), and Saturday is the BIG day! I can't wait to get there and just have that special time with friends. Kelly will be working at Stash Co all week while they prep for their big Factory Revival November 30th/ December 1 and getting things prepped for Pinpoint 2013 trips. Then John Korey and her are topping off the week with Ren Fest (anyone else going?). Luckily, we squeezed in mucho family time this weekend before the crazy week starts!

...and for the Song of the day, everytime I hear it I think of Ashley, Liz, and our Costa Rician friends on the dance floor with me til all hours of the night! I love how songs can do that.
I'm not sure if it's the weather, the season change (yes, in Houston, there is a difference), the traveling or all the moving, but lately, I just want to toss out my closet and replace it with only a few key, classic pieces with a few trends thrown in the mix. Sometimes, I find myself buying something because it's a good deal or on sale, but then it just lives in the back of my closet and when I try to wear it, it's not me. Done with that. In trying to smart with money, I've really ended up being a whole lot of dumb. Anyone else feeling this way? These are a few of the key items I'm looking for this Fall.
A Wool Cape or Pancho // I have a cheap version that has served it's purpose of the the last two years that I bought F21. While I love it, I feel it could easily fall apart if I took it on a few camping trips and isn't all that warm. I need something wool that can handle a rough edge. Click here to view my F21 pancho and Brandi's Pendleton pancho. She was probably a lot warmer.
Studded Accents // Because it's fun to think you're a badass. I just need to order some studs online because I have a killer denim vest that would be perfect to studify.
Thin Layers // A good chunk of Fall and Winter here in Houston is still pretty warm. I love to layer it up just to trick myself into thinking the weather is changing with the season, so keeping it thin is pretty key.
Adding Texture// Fur, and Faux Fur are awesome ways to stay warm without piling on the layers and they instantly transform the look of your outfit. I really like the idea of a short fur cape. I'm hoping to score something like this in a thrift shop, but if I don't, I've found a few places online that are almost what I want... Got to keep looking.
Slouchy Pieces // Comfort and Stylish always win in my books.
A Badass Jumper // I REALLY want this jumper. I've searched high and low. Anyone know where I can find it. It would be awesome for traveling in the Fall and Winter because I could just change out the shoe and jacket to change the look. My heart is set on this one.
Boots// They just might be my weakness. I don't think I'll ever have enough.
Hats // Still searching for that perfect hat to travel in and wear with every outfit.
A Leather Jacket// It's so dang hard to find the perfect leather Jacket! I think this might be the year I get one. I've tried looking in thrift shops, but the fit is never right. A good fit is definitely key. I've fallen for the look of this sueded jacket, but I've found some nice styles over at All Saints as well.
Well, wish me luck out there. haha. Are you on the hunt this year? What key items are you looking for this Fall?
