Fall Essentials

Leather Riding Boots - Fabianelli 

Purse - Kate Spade Gold Coast Maryanne

Black Sweater with elbow patches - Marshall's 

These leather boots were definitely a splurge, but I love them! :) They are lined with fur and so comfy. They may be a bit too warm to suit California's attempt at fall weather, but I like pretending that we are actually graced with a fall season. I was surprised to find such good quality boots at Marshall's. They were about 160 dollars with tax, however, they are made in Italy and seem like they are good enough quality that they will last me for quite some time! Leather riding boots are a great way to dress up any outfit. The chestnut brown color of the boots is perfect because it looks great with red, purple, black, or even grey. I will continue to get a ton of use out of these boots for years to come! 

I love my new red bag from Kate Spade. It is the perfect all-around bag. Who says red isn't a neutral nowadays? ;) I say that red is appropriate any time of day. Red is the color of confidence so have fun with it! This bag was also a splurge but as the savy shopper I claim to be, I am always looking around for the best sales. At retail price this bag goes for approximately 400 dollars. Kate Spade was doing a 2 day sale and I was able to snag this fancy bag for 209 dollars with tax! It's large enough for me to carry all my work supplies in and I just love the color. However, as an evening bag, I would probably opt for something smaller!

I have been searching for a sweater with elbow patches for a while now and I FINALLY stumbled across this one at Marshall's for only 17 dollars! Sewing on elbow patches could also be a fairly easy DIY and a fun fall project to do with friends. Here is a good site to refer to if you are looking to DIY!
