Umbrellas are the perfect place to add bold color and pattern. i’m loving the statement these make. The price is pretty nice as well!
Premium Collection: Starts at $49.95
Classic Collection: Starts at $36.95

madewell continues to keep my attention! the best thing about the fall lookbook is that you don’t need a wardrobe overall to achieve these looks. just a few styling adjustments and additional pieces. what do you think? are you into it??

i’m a little late to the game here- but my gosh- lauren moffatt’s fall 2011 collection is to die for. i love the mix of flowy prints, leather, and nicely tailored pants and skirts. and wide brimmed hats for fall? i’m all for it.

i love the liveliness and versatility of this green diane von furstenburg top. while perfect for business wear, you can dress it down with white shorts, leathery accents and a light scarf for casual weekend wear. i bet it’d look great with this skirt too!
scarf / bag / top / glasses / shorts / bracelet / shoes / gloss

these gorgeous pieces by etsy shop ISWAS+WILLBE have been styled impeccably. loving the earthiness and geometric lines!

how lovely are these simple designs from GOLDhearted? Michelle, the designer behind GOLDhearted, has created a sophisticated spin on friendship bracelets that are simple and elegant. i’d pile a few of these together, or with my favorite bangles and braceletes.
