Perfect Cropped Shacket For Fall

The shacket trend is barreling full steam into another fall season and I am here for it. In particular, I can’t get over this perfect, cropped plaid shacket from Rails. In addition to the Ivory Camel buffalo check, I found it — with a little sleuthing — in Tan Pacific plaid, Mauve Ivory sepia and Ivory Rain so you can wear a different one every day of the week. I also discovered this similar plaid cutie that’s a very similar style at a fraction of the cost.

Hanna Andersson Family Pajama Builder

Our girls have been in Hanna Andersson pajamas since the day they were born. They didn’t come out wearing them, but they may as well have. These ultra-durable, organic cotton knit pajamas have a cult-following thanks to their endless selection of colorful prints and the fact that kids are as comfortable playing in them as they are sleeping in them. The brand has just added this brilliant shopping tool called the Family Pajama Builder which makes selecting the perfect jammies for the whole family (or just multiple kids) streamlined and simple.

Floral Sweater Vest

Puffer, suiting, sweater… we’re entering VEST season, people. This Coastal Grandmother is embracing her inner grandfather and just added this gorgeous red floral sweater vest to my collection. I’ll be wearing it over t-shirts, turtlenecks, button downs, and even layering it under blazers — because if I have my way, I essentially won’t be taking this vest off.

My Favorite Belt Bags For Fall

Adweek named fanny packs “Product of the Year” in 1988. Nearly 35 years later, we might be rebranding them as “belt bags,” “hip packs,” or “waist purses,” but without question, these hands-free handbags have risen again to the forefront of streetwear and high fashion. Don’t get me wrong, I love a purse, but the ability to have all of my appendages unencumbered is an undeniably convenient element of the belt bag. If you’re looking for guidance, I’ve compiled all of my favorite fanny packs for fall here in one place. Personally, I’m obsessed with this gorgeous suede option and I…

Tassel Loafers

The hardest part about finding structured leather loafers like these is the comfort factor. I bought a few similar pairs last year and the leather was so rigid, my feet were bleeding before they even touched leather. Needless to say, I was thrilled to discover these black tassel loafers from Talbots. They run true to size and between the soft leather and their memory foam footbed, these loafers were super comfortable on the very first wear.

New Arrivals at J. Crew

Thanks to J. Crew’s ultra-talented new Creative Director Olympia Gayot, I watch for the brand’s new arrivals like a dog waiting for scraps to fall from the dinner table. In case you missed it last week, I put together an edit of some of my drool-worthy favorites HERE. The first few items that were promptly added to my cart were this wrap jacket and this perfect checked shirt!

Janessa Leone Plaid Baseball Cap

By now, I’m well-known for my affinity for baseball caps and if you think my obsession stops when the weather cools down, think again. This plaid ball cap from Janessa Leone is a breakout star in my collection of fall hats and if you don’t have a collection of fall hats, it’s not too late for you. Put houndstooth and your favorite winter plaid in a blender and you’ll get an idea of the adorable mismatched deadstock fabrics that make this patterned hat so drool-worthy.

Silk Scarves

Whether it’s this sarong-sized Celeste scarf from Agua by Agua Bendita or this geometric white and navy geometric beaut from Totême, silk scarves are having a moment and… I’ve been waiting literal decades for it. Style them in your hair, around your neck or belted at the waist — there are so many different ways to wear scarves (without looking like you live at Grey Gardens). I also went down an eBay rabbit hole in search of Hermes scarf rings and my hunt did not disappoint.

MCM Flare Sunglasses

Ochre is a yellow-y, brownish-red clay color and fall is its time to shine. Even if the sun isn’t. I just got these ochre MCM sunglasses and I have to say: the flared, rectangular shape is universally flattering. They’re a little more amber than yellow IRL as you can see in this recent post. If they’ve sold out by the time you’re reading this, or if ochre isn’t for you, they also come in brown, black and blue.
