The Colours of Fall!

Woah, I just wrote the word "fall" and we aren't even in August! But it's true, fall is right around the corner and that means it's nearly time to put the shorts away and pull out the sweater and pants. Scary thought. BUT rather than focus on that, I will focus on the colour of fall!

Forget Orange, Yellow and Red... the colour of fall is Purple!

It seems like everything now comes in purple and why not? It goes with most colours, it's classy and can be dressed up or down. Here's a few suggestions at different price points to check out!

Wild shoes from Go Jane & Great Tube dresses from Forever21:

$34.99 for crazy shoes your bff won't have! $19.80 for the dress AND you can still afford a few drinks when you wear them out on the town!

Dainty Bracelets from F21 & Purple Fall Coat from Nordstrom

$4.80 for the cute bracelets...why not? At $109.90 (SALE) the coat is very much do-able!

You can finish off the look with Urban Decay Purple Haze and DKNY Delicious Night both at Sephora

$16 for the eyeshadow and $68 for the perfume... smells sweet to me :)

Do you think you'll jump on the purple bandwagon?

Need to Have it!

This weeks NEED TO HAVE IT! Comes in the form of a long Pearl Necklace!

Most recentely popularized by Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City (see above), the pearl necklace is making a come back in a big way! It's versatile, funkier than it's shorter version and down right cute! It will be sure to add that extra something that your outfit may be lacking!

If you want the style a la Carrie Bradshaw try:


LOW: at JC PENNY the Freshwater Precious Pearl Necklace is available (to our American friends) for $18.99 (what a steal!!!)


MEDIUM: Pearl Paradise The "City" necklace (clever name) is available for $495


HIGH: Mikimoto Pearls The actual pearls worn by SJP and at $11,900-- keep dreaming, girl!

I also suggest checking out the shops this weekend! There are some GREAT sales on right now as it is sadly the end of the summer clothing season! I picked up a long pearl necklace for 50% off at a store I would never usually go in! That being said, your mission is to check out stores you have never been in! (and report back to me about what you found!)
