The Perfect Fall Dress

Shop: Zara dress // Gold earrings (similar) // Sam Edelman heels //

Louis Vuitton pouch (from inside tote, similar here) // Kate Spade watch

When I noticed this dress at Zara, it was love at first sight! I'm always a sucker for floral, flowy dresses but this one seemed especially perfect for fall and the upcoming holidays because of the deep red color, embroidered florals and don't get me started on the polka dot details! I think this would be a great look for a "Friendsgiving" celebration or Thanksgiving dinner with the family. Also, how cute are these shoes!! (They are actually my mom's and I am plotting to steal them when I go home for Thanksgiving.) Stay tuned for more holiday outfit inspiration soon!

At the start of a new fall season, I'm always excited to try the latest trends. There are, however, those trusty, timeless items I always pull out of storage and look forward to wearing in the colder months. While I'm less inclined to spend a lot of money on a denim mini skirt or off-shoulder top, I do invest in well-made staples like the ones shown above. I always get excited about bringing out my wool winter coat and quilted vests from J. Crew. I use my Longchamp tote all year but I think it looks especially great when paired with a leather belt and riding boots in the fall. I also love cozy materials like a soft cream sweater, velvet or suede pants, and a cashmere Burberry scarf (which is definitely on my wish list!). And for some reason, I'm drawn to gold jewelry more in the fall and winter — like a simple gold watch and classic gold hoops.
