Fall dressing has been the last thing on my mind since NYC had the hottest day of the year yesterday. It was almost 100 degrees! As much as I hate to admit I'm ready for the cooler weather, I do enjoy getting one last wear out of some of my summer pieces. Either way, I still plan on wearing my whites far into the fall season, as I like the color far too much and never follow the rules anyway. 

This Lush blouse is a closet staple of mine. The Lush brand has such great basic pieces, for a fraction of the cost you'd usually be paying for a silk top or crepe pants. I have this blouse in three colors, and wear it on a weekly basis (sadly). It comes in like every color possible, so I'd highly recommend picking up one for the fall - you can wear it numerous different ways!

Valentino Rockstud Bootie

As if I didn't already have enough of an obsession with the Valentino Rockstud pumps... Now they come out with the perfect fall variation. I spotted these during a quick visit to Intermix last weekend. To. Die. For. And for all you flats girls, the flat bootie version is here.
