What are your 5 favorite purchases from fall? Did you expect them to become your favorites when you bought them?  Mine:


-Forever 21 black cotton blazer I thought it would be a cheap throwaway piece, but I wear it all the time and it still looks great.


-Salt Works Orchard St. jeans Click to enlargeI liked them so much I bought 2 pairs.


 


 


-Bronx boots Bronx Shoes 11964 Lina (I debated keeping them initially, but they're the only one's I've found that come close to fitting my skinny legs.)


-Juicy "Ivy League" hoodie in green (like this one but not cropped)


-Nine West shoes Womens Nine West Heron (Brown)(in black). They fit so well I am seriously debating another color.

Halleybird- Are those nine west shoes comfortable? 


 


Ok, my favorites:


1) This Gerard Yosca cuff.  It's perfectly my style, pretty, unique, and mermaid-esque- I think it's stunning and can't stop looking at it.  I am obsessed with it- wore it a ton when i first bought it and a rhinestone fell off   So now i'm waiting til short sleeve weather so my shirts don't pull over it.




2) These Salvatore Ferragamo vintage peep toes.  I got them for $40 on eBay and they are the prettiest shoes ever.  I barely wear them because they are uncomfortable, but I have them set on a table on display for now.




3)  This sweater from Anthropologie.  I rarely wear turtlenecks (it can button up all the way at the neck), but I love this ones color and it is SO warm.  Wearing it right now.

4) This Inhabit basketweave cashmere cardigan.  It is so pretty and soft- I am just sad because I pulled one side by running into a nail. I always damage my nicest things.  I like my scarf here too.



5)  This suede Anthropologie bag in a rich brown.  I got it way on sale in the store, and wear it a ton.  It has turquoise contrast stitching.

yes -- insanely. The leather really softens up as you wear them.


I love your picks! I think the ferragamo shoes are my favorites.

hmm, now i want them.  Did you have to size up because of the pointy toe?  I wear between a 9 and a 10- but usually a 9.5 to give me some extra room.  If they run small, i'd need the 10.  Let me know soon- I think i might order them because they're so cheap!

Lynnie - those shoes on the table have to be the funniest thing I've ever seen.

"I barely wear them because they are uncomfortable, but I have them set on a table on display for now."

That is just hysterical & sounds like exactly something I would do!!!!!!!!!!! But i've never thought of it & i don't think my husband would let me get away with it.

dot: i'm so glad you posted this and commented positively on it. i've been eyeing up this poncho for a while and still debating on getting it. i have yet to own a poncho and really don't care about the trend being over... they are so practical and this one is really special looking.

i love michael kors shoes...so i got these because i don't own or like uggs (sorry if anyone here does) but i like the concept.  i wanted a heel cuz i feel more comfortable with heels.


KORS by Michael Kors Beavertoni bought this in august.  it's not the same as mine, mine has the plaid (the style that's around the face of the watch) continued onto the band.  i couldn't find a pic.


  i love my bcbg cardiwrap.  i've had one since feb. 04, and now they're just getting popular.  they're so much better than ponchos, and so classy.  i have them in red, mahogony, black, and powder pink.



finally...my dior saddle bag in black.



and my bcbg signature tote in magenta (a darker shade of the picture)


p.s. i love the vince poncho!

hotcocoa - i got this on sale at saks in january. i would wait because they will probably go on sale after the spring season. (who know why the hell anyone would make a cashmere poncho for spring summer! i could sooooooooooooooo not wear this in the spring! too hot!)

anyway, the poncho is wonderful. really super soft cashmere. it's washable! and as i mentioned, super warm. if i can get another one for less $100, i will definitely buy another. also just a note, mine is much longer on me than it is on the model! maybe the spring ones are short?

the ponchos are on sale at bluefly right now for $99... how much did you pay? less than that if yours was 70% off, eh? it's going to be cold here for a good while longer... so i could get some use out of it right away, but it'd be nice to get it for less than $100 so i'll keep waiting.

In no particular order.


Frye Campus boots in Saddle. I never thought I would rock these since I'm a city girl, but they are so cool. I wish I'd known about then years ago when I went to Texas. I could've used them when I was riding horses at my friend's ranch in West Texas.

True Religion Joeys in dark handsand. I them

Kenneth Cole black leather knee high boots with a kitten heel. They actually fit my muscular calves and I could walk in them for days and days, they're so comfy. They're at the shoe repair place getting new soles and a polish. (I will edit a pic when I get them back...)


Ivory cashmere Vince ballet-neck sweater. It was the best sweater investment I ever made...so versatile on only $68 at Neiman's first call sale last November.

Max & Co box-pleat denim skirt...wearing it in this pic. Worth every cent I paid, since it's just like a pair of jeans, but more polished. Plus there are only 18 of them floating around the country, so I feel special and exclusive.

1. I didn't get it in fall, but for Xmas I got a Chanel caviar bag. I LOVE it so much and my mom did a great job of picking it out because it will always be in style.



2. Lots of cute blazers... I got the J. Crew Academy blazer on sale and lots of cute, cheap blazers from Target, Forever 21, and Old Navy. Halleybird, I love Forever 21 blazers too... they are cheap, come in great colors and lots of different styles.



3. These green suede boots from Ann Taylor. I got them on sale for $65, down from $250



4. Lots of cute, cheap flats.



5. I got some really cool jewelry too. The first 2 are from Turq Jewelry. The other necklaces are cheapo finds from Ebay including my score of awesome beads.




*Yes I am a dork and have attempted to photograph and catagorize my wardrobe
