The Start of Fall and Fabulous Bags

Happy Fall, Y'all!!  The official start of fall is finally here and the temps actually cooperated enough for me to wear some layers (and even flannel) to celebrate my favorite season!  With the change of seasons also comes a change in my bags.  My usual summer day bag this straw Tory Burch tote that I've carried every summer for the past several years.  I love it but I'm ready to swap it up once Labor Day rolls around.  I began my fall bag search a month or so ago and I fell in love with Vera Bradley's entire new line of totes, cross body's, satchels, backpacks, shoulder bags and clutches.  They are all so fabulous it was hard to choose which would be my go-to bag for fall.  I was torn between this navy and black bowler satchel and this cheetah calf hair beauty and then I came across this denim and quilted leather satchel and knew it was the one.  Dress it up, dress it down, work day or date night, it's the perfect bag for me!

JORD and a Jumpsuit

I love a good jumpsuit and I love a good piece of jewelry.  What's even better is when they are both functional and fabulous!

Jumpsuits are easy to toss on and go.  They can work for all kinds of occasions ~ from brunch with friends to dinner out with The Hubs, from a business casual office to a red carpet event ~ I've worn a jumpsuit for all of these environments and events.  It's all about the accessories and completer pieces you pair with your one piece wonder.

My iPhone replaced my watch years ago but when I was introduced to these beautiful JORD wood watches I knew I had to add one to my daily arm party.  I'm all about unique pieces and JORD does them well!  They have watches for both men and women in all different woods, shapes, faces and sizes.  They also fit the watch to you before it's shipped out so it comes ready to wear!  This Kora Wood and Rose Gold beauty is next on my wish list!

Olive Utility Jumpsuit: Forever 21 | The one I'm wearing just sold out online but I found a few more almost-identical options HERE, HERE and HERE that are all under $35!  I'm ordering the long sleeve version in blue for fall.
Gold Wedges: Y'all these things are soooo old and they are still some of my favorites!  They are by Steve Madden and currently not available (because they are so old, ha!).  Here are a few similar options ~ Zappos, DV by Dolce Vita, Candie's (These are under $25!)
Tote: Tory Burch | I've been carrying this bag for three summers now and I still love it.  Nothing says "summer" like a straw and metallic tote!  HERE's another great summer tote you can carry now and pull out again next summer!
Necklaces: Stella & Dot Hibiscus Pendant (you can wear it in three different lengths) and Zuni Necklace (it's four necklaces in one!)
Bracelets: Pearl Spike Cuff and Sawyer Stretch Bracelet
Wood Watch: JORD
Pedi Polish: Turquoise by Absolute New York
Mani Polish: Southern Belle by Sinful Colors | I was given this polish color for review.  It's not available yet online.  HERE's a similar shade.

How fun is this wall?!?! I love my beautiful town!

Side note ~ Olive is my color obsession right now.  It pairs beautifully with any color from other neutrals to bold brights and it transitions from season to season.
