30 Dresses In 30 Days

30 Dresses In 30 Days! Are you ready? Am I? Really not sure, to be honest. Nevertheless, it all starts this Friday, November 1st, and I’m going to go for it even if it means some of the dresses are covered in baby throw up and/or some days I just post a picture of my bathrobe and call it a “dress.” For all Memorandum rookies, 30 Dresses In 30 Days is (apart from being fairly self explanatory) a major event around here. From November 1-30, I’ll be sharing a dress a day, and the occasion (and accessories) to go with…

Sam Edelman Hilty Booties

These super highly rated booties are nothing short of essential for winter dressing. Such a beautiful heel and classic shape, you really can’t go wrong if you’re in the market for a fresh bootie for fall and need something affordable. There are a bevy of gorgeous color options, but I think this is an especially great boot to purchase in snakeskin if you’ve wanted to dip your toe (literally) into this season’s snakeskin trend, but feel wary of making a huge investment. Trends that you might be sick of in a few months are much easier to test out when…

Hooded Puffer Jacket

With winter approaching, and a tiny human around, it’s really nice to have a throw-on-and-go hooded puffer that can keep me warm in all weather conditions. It’s also extremely nice that this one happens to clock in at under $60 (WHAT?), comes in seven colors, and is super cozy on quick coffee runs. I mean, it’s almost silly not to add this to your cool weather coat stash. I bought it in burgundy which is such a nice addition to my mostly-black collection of winter coat options. Best part? It’s fleece lined (!!!!), has a super flattering cut that doesn’t…

Baublebar Headbands

Everyone’s favorite affordable accessories destination has hopped on the headband bandwagon (which is simply a fun phrase to say), and the results are delightful. This braided burgundy velvet beauty was my first purchase, but it won’t be my last, because I can’t stop thinking about this stunner either. Get out of my head, and onto my head. Thanks.

Cozy Socks

Bare feet, it’s been real, see you in June. Fall marks the start of cozy sock season, and I’m kicking things off (I’ve got jokes), with the coziest pack of seasonal socks I’ve ever seen. They are so soft, so warm and the vintage patterns are the actual cutest. They’re like your favorite Christmas socks with the bonus of not being so holiday-specific that you feel weird wearing them outside the month of December. Yes, pedicures are nice. But have you ever tried just couching it all day with really, really warm feet?

Leopard Tee

Can we talk about this price tag for a second? I love long sleeve tees in fall—they’re an essential layering piece that’s never not a good idea to have around in bulk. But sometimes I get sick of my basic black and white tees and want something a little more exciting. These leopard tees have crazy high ratings, and crazy low price tags. Honestly they’re a sneeze above being free, it’s ridiculous. Also, there are endless cuts to choose from, and “there are too many great options” is a complaint that no woman has had ever.

Sarah Flint Booties

Fall is the season of the good bootie, and if your collection is currently lacking, know that Sarah Flint makes a literally perfect one in two colorways and two heel height options. They are INEXPLICABLY comfortable from the second you slide your foot in and while yes, they look stunning online, you need to know that they are even more beautiful in person. Seriously, they’re the Halle Berry of boots. You can’t imagine how they’d be more amazing in person but somehow, yep, they are. You’ve heard me wax on about this brand a million times in the past (their…

Chic Baseball Caps

You know what’s fun? Not doing your hair. I hope we can all agree that Baseball caps are a Saturday (or Sunday or Monday or Tuesday) morning’s best friend. However, I was receiving a lot of flack from family members who took note that I was consistently wearing a New York Yankees hat and wondered when I’d changed baseball allegiances. Battle lines were drawn and things got ugly before I even had the chance to clarify that it wasn’t so much about the team, but about the fact that I had received a free Yankees hat years ago that just…

A Classic Tweed Sheath

As we head into fall, our favorite textures come back into play. I love a classic tweed sheath dress—it’s an absolutely essential part of cool weather workwear and so effortless to keep in your rotation. I love this one, by Rachel Parcell for Nordstrom. You truly cannot beat this price for a tweed sheath, and you will get so much wear out of it. You’re a pair of heels and a smart earring away from being dressed for work in five seconds. Let’s do this.

Balloon Sleeve Cableknit Cardigan

Are you there Sweater Season? It’s me, Mary. Whenever cooler weather decides to make its entrance (and these 85 degree temperatures officially depart), I am going to be prepared. I’ve fallen in love with this sweater style from J.Crew which is a definite frontrunner for cutest cardigan ever. Cableknit plus balloon sleeves, leather covered buttons, a stand collar and an über-adorable coral hue? As far as I’m concerned, this puppy deserves a round of applause, and an immediate purchase.
