Fabulous Fall Fashion Under $200

The fall fashion this year does not disappoint, but prices do seem to be rising. If you are tired of shopping your closet, maybe you will find yourself a little something in this under $200 style edit. The chic clothing and accessories will stretch your budget with style!


Camden Soft Sweater Poncho
Prep school chic. The classic tennis sweater gets a comfy twist. A great look at under $100.

Precious Sweater Coat
I have just discovered this brand over summer. I liked it so much that I bought 4 pairs of their leggings/pants. The price point is terrific and the quality is there. This coat will be your "go to" 

Wool Mix Hybrid Cape
Something different for our wardrobes. A good look to pair with any bottom.

Varley Perry Gilet
New this season. This vest will infuse your wardrobe with luxe warmth for a transitional look. A perfect layer for driving, walking the dog, or just lounging.
Varley

Bucket Hat
The charm of a bucket hat continues for fall. A fun accessory that will always be chic.

Double Breasted Teddy Sherpa Topcoat
Many years ago, "Mr. Shop This," gave me a teddy bomber jacket. I so loved that coat, and here they are back on trend. This style comes in four fab colors, including black. The Code "MOREFALL"
will bring this coat home for less than $200.

Josey Tights
I am a little wild about these tights! First of all, I only wear this brand. They are comfy and so very well made. These will add drama anything.

Mod Turtleneck Poncho
Loving the bold statement that this poncho makes. It's said to be super soft. Love it!

Silk Resort Shirt
A good shirt can elevate anything. It's effortless elegance. This style is said to be super soft. Also in green and black.
Blanc Noir Drape Front Jacket
Turn up the edge on any bottoms this fall with vegan leather and drapey knit. It is a marvelous mix of athleisure and night out vibes. I have it in my 
cart now.

Andrea Bootie
Combat chic. The chunky combat boot is still coming in hot for fall. I actually love the silver studs. Just under $200.

Plaid Fringe Wrap
Isn't this a blanket fall statement? It's equal parts cozy and sophisticated.
Anthropologie

Zadie Padded Shoulder Bag
The gold chain is showing up everywhere in bags. Take a look at Bottega Veneta's  handbags. This style is thousands less than the Bottega. Of course it is faux, but still fabulous. Get the look at

Wedding Wednesday: Fall Inspiration


The first day of autumn is a perfect day to bring back Wedding Wednesdays. If you are marrying this Fall, you are down to the final touches. If September or October, 2022 is your wedding date, begin here. Be inspired by the harvest hues, fluffy florals, and unexpected details.


Modern Invitation
Paint your palette in autumnal colors that are bold and rich.

Silk Ribbon 
What a fabulous Etsy shop this is! One look at their ribbon collection, and you can't help but be inspired for your special day. Think, ribbon for invitations, guest favor packaging, flower girl sashes and more.
Shy Myrtle

Samantha Wedding Gown
This Etsy wedding shop is for the laid back bohemian bride. Fall may just be the right time to consider a long sleeve gown. Other styles available.

Vellum Place Cards
If you are having a reception with over 25 people, you need to have a place card. These are one of my all time favorite choices. They will arrive handwritten to your specifications. Very chic!

Velvet Vow Books
One of my fave Etsy finds ever. Long after you speak your vows, these will become a forever heirloom.

The Wedding Cake of Cakes
Is this not gorgeous? It features all of the fall feels and then some. This perfect cake and the bakery that made it is from Jackson, NH. Lucky you if you live there. If not, take this photo to your bakery for inspiration.
Autumn Nomad

Handpainted Watercolour Invitation Suite
Begin your pretty palette with the invitation. These have been created, in part from silk paper. They are wonderful!

Fluffy Florals
These spectacular pampas grasses are having a huge moment this year. They are just perfect for fall. Etsy has a huge selection in seasonal shades. Best of all, these displays will never fade or wilt.

Manjour


Cali Dress
Fall is the perfect time to mix and match bridesmaid dresses and colors. This stylish scene is an autumn wedding look at its' best.

Shawl Favors
If you are having an outdoor Fall wedding, your guests will appreciate these wonderful wraps. Perfect for all of those LBDS on your guests. Affordable and simply an adorable idea. Also a nice gift for your bridesmaids.

Photo Backdrop
Guest interaction is fun at any party.  This photo backdrop is beautiful. It also is fabulous behind a cake table or bar.

Vermont Maple Syrup Favors
Favors for your guests are not a "must," but if your budget allows, they are very nice. These pretty containers are filled with syrup that is "the real thing."  Sold in lots of 24

Oscar De La Renta 
Brilliant shades of beet red, watermelon pink, orange reminiscent of cantaloupe, and papaya celebrate the season. These styles are from his Spring Collection, but they sure do give me festive fall vibes for bridesmaids, bride or mother of
 the bride. Pre-order at

Hexagon Table Numbers
Do not depend on your wedding venue to have a good looking table number. They just don't. So supply your own. These are elegant, affordable, but simple. Also available in other colors, but gold is so good for autumn.

Fall Fashion For Your Home

 

Fall is certainly the best season for fashion. Most of us can't wait for sweater weather and a new pair of boots. It's also a good time to dress your home in the shades of the season and with terrific textures. Settle into September with decor and more that is oh so cozy chic.


Tweed Emphasize Throw
The easiest seasonal update to your home is a few new pillows and a tweed throw. This one features a nod to mid-century style. You may or may not know that every room should have a touch of black to anchor the space.

MacKenzie-Childs Pumpkins
A chic check is always in style no matter what the season.  You will find these porcelain pumpkins at

Faux Pampas Grass
When your garden roses fade, bring in the look of autumn with pampas grass. These stylish stems add some seasonal style, texture, and drama to
 your home.

Scented Candles
When it comes to scenting your home for fall, there are many choices. Few do it as well as Nest New York. For me the candle container is as important as the scent. This pretty pair will add a big dose of fall flair in your space. Shown here are Moroccan Amber and Pumpkin Chai.

Velvet Pillows
I love the way Widell & Boschetti layered  patterns and colors of these velvet throw pillows. It's a very cozy look that is still luxe.

Wave Tabletop Fire Bowl
Fire has such a calming effect. Set the mood while you set the table (indoors or out) with this unique fire element. It uses non toxic gel fuel. Love it!

Olivewood Serving Board
I was just at Adaline Restaurant in Chicago (excellent by the way), and they served dessert pastries on a wooden tray. We all loved the idea at the table.  These are just gorgeous. Available in three sizes.

Pelosa Sheepskin Ottoman
This piece has warm and fuzzy written all over it. Two of them are perfect at the end of a bed. Or use it as a place to perch your feet anywhere in your space. It's fab!

Blushing Garden Wreath
Consider using something marvelous in metal this season. These flowers will never fade or dry out. 

Missoni Venere Throw
Missoni Home goods are a coveted collection, and carry a certain style status. This wool knit throw is now 25% off along with other Missoni products at
Horchow

Cowhide Chain Pouf 
A home just can not have too many places to perch. These sophisticated and chic poufs are so very glam.  Best yet, they are on sale!

Fall Colored Tiny Tapers Set
Tall and lean, these chicly colored candles will cast a warm glow to your tablescape. 12 in a set of each color above. Lovely!

Rustic Modern
This cozy chic look is all about casual sophistication. From the floor up: Sweater Rug (how fab!) Balboa Swivel Chair, Faux Fur Throw, Hand Knit Pillow Cover.

Podevache Placemats
We will be bringing the meals inside soon. Time to dress the table. These Podevache placemats feature a great graphic pattern. Gorgeous with black, white, or wooden dinnerware.

 Welcome to the last weekend of Summer. It's also my BFF, Mollie's, birthday. Sending love and wishes her way. How will you be spending these precious days? I hope that you will enjoy beautiful weather, with lots of fun in the sun. Before you get started, here's some links for cooking, drinking, shopping, and saving.


Though I am still wearing white (gasp), Vogue tells us that brown is trending big for Fall. I am not a huge fan, but it is very sophisticated when paired with black. A few examples of good styles in brown are Everlane's Half Zip Sweater,  Bottega Veneta's Chain Leather Tote, and Staud Tuli's Ballerina Flats.
