Five Winter 2016 Must Haves

Winter isn't over just yet...Here are some must have items to add to your wardrobe. I personally have two of the below pieces and provided pictures. :)
Click the individual links to be directed to the product!

1. LAURA BUCKLE DETAIL DOUBLE LAYER CAPE

I've been wanting a cape coat for a long time. I saw this and knew I had to make this coat mine! Boohoo is one of my favorite places to shop online. They are located in the UK, and have affordable, trendy and well made clothing that they ship all around the world. They even offer free shipping if you spend $50.00. Regularly they'll have a discount code featured on their website, usually between 20-30% off regular and sale priced merchandise. This cape coat retails for $72.00 and is on sale for $54.00. Currently, their 30% off code does not include sale items, but check back in a few days and they'll have a new discount available. I ended up getting 30% off last month and that brought my total down to less than $40....Quite the deal!

2. TOMMY HILFIGER GERRIE OVER THE KNEE BOOT

I love suede...The look...The feel...Everything. And over the knee boots will always be a staple for your wardrobe. 

These Tommy Hilifger boots are super cute! The inside has a nice, red fabric lining and the outside has stud embellishments on one side and a a zipper that goes about halfway up on the other. The best part about these boots is that they are very comfortable and have a 1.5 inch stacked block heel. So you get some added height and comfort!

3. Batteries Not Included Chain Bag 

Originally, $48.00, this purse is on sale for $33.60 (30% off). If you love video games, this is a cute accessory to be walking around with. It's definitely unique and a statement piece. 

4. AEO Fringe Open Cardigan

Everything I buy from American Eagle, I end up loving so much that I want to wear it every day. I was looking at their website and saw this adorable cardigan on clearance. Normally, $69.95, this can be yours for only $25.99. They are almost sold out of the heather grey...but it also comes in a pretty cream color. 

5. MID-RISE POWER SKINNY IN MYSTEEK WASH

Guess is having a big sale right now and I found these jeans that are normally, $128.00. You can get them for only $39.00! I love sparkly anything...so I am really considering buying these.

What has been your go to clothing item to wear this winter?

2015 Fall Wishlist

I'm still in denial that summer is coming to a close, but one thing that's helping me accept the seasonal change is that I can "justify" shopping for an autumn wardrobe.

Here are some of the the items on my Fall Wishlist:

Ralph Lauren Desert Tan Jeans

Pants are a necessity as the weather gets colder and this year I've decided to try more than black leggings and denim. I found these tan Ralph Lauren jeans on sale at Macys.com and can't wait to wear them with some boots.

Boohoo Open Shoulder Shirt Dress

Shirt dresses are a current trend and I really love the open shoulder look! Very cute and comfy...and as it gets colder can be paired with leggings.

Free People Velvet Skinny Scarf

So, I've noticed a lot of people are wearing skinny scarves. A month ago, I personally didn't like the look...but it's growing on me. I was looking on Free People's website and saw this velvet scarf and just loved it.

 

American Rag Lace Skirt

Being 5'2" can make it difficult to shop for clothes. I always love the look of long skirts, but a lot of the time, they're just way too long.  I've recently been searching for skirts to add to my closet and I absolutely love the lace look of this American Rag skirt.

Taylor Swift Keds

Taylor Swift has a line of Ked shoes. There are a lot of super cute styles, so be sure to check them out. I really love the subtlety to this particular pair. And this style had added height for a shortie like me. ;)

What are your must have items this Fall? And what are you most looking forward to?

I enjoy the changing of the leaves, Pumpkin Spiced Lattes and my absolute favorite part of fall is Halloween!
