lace is the bomb

I thought this lace bomber jacket would be a great transition piece because it's nice and light and would pretty much look great with anything from jeans to dresses to leather skirts (outfits I'm already planning in my head for work).  I love the faux leather trim on the collar, which contrasts nicely with the delicate lace.  So no matter what you pair this jacket with, even a pretty floral dress, your look won't be too sweet.

bootie call

My first shoe purchase for fall!  I think these ZARA 'ankle boot sandals' are the perfect transition piece because they're not quite a boot, but not just a sandal.  Yet, they're not odd looking like peep-toe boots (that's one trend I just can't get on board with - just close the toe!).  These are only my third pair of ZARA shoes, but they're definitely not going to be my last.  They're super soft and very comfortable.  I was eyeing these Michael Kors Collection sandals for awhile (they're wedges!), but they would have blown most of my budget (stupid duties).  These ZARA sandals definitely fill the void, for a fraction of the price.
