It seems that Fall has arrived! I know back in Vancouver, talking to friends, it showed up in all of it’s glory the first week of September. Here in Kamloops, it peaked in a little, then buggered off again to give us three days of sunshine and 32 degree heat! But now, it is here. There is a bit of a chill in the air and just enough to make you question your footwear. This annual transition between seasons can be somewhat confusing for the wardrobe; at least I always find that happens. Once you see a few Fall gems in store or online though, it’s easy to find your way with a nice scarf and a good pair of booties. Here is a round-up of my favourites for Fall fashion – some new and some tried and true.

We will start with new purchases!
On a mini shopping spree, I picked up this William Rast Moto Jacket from Hudson’s bay. It’s a perfect layering piece for Fall. I even wore it with a pretty slip dress to a wedding at the end of Summer. It was the perfect touch on the floral dress to give it a bit of edge.
H&M happened to have just about every piece I was after. I love this leather bag as it easily doubles as my diaper bag. It’s large and deep enough to hold diapers, wipes, the odd toy or ten, my wallet, my giant BKR bottle and whatever else I may need for the day. The Heather Grey Tee and distressed skinnies are the perfect go-to mom outfit. Comfy, fashionable and easy to get around in when you are chasing a crawler. The hat is that gorgeous raspberry color that we have noticed pop up all over the place and the felted fabric makes it nice and cozy for those windy, blustery days ahead. I love the boho shawl as well. The stripes and colors make it easy to mix in with other outfits and it’s a great layering piece. Can you tell I like to layer?
Lastly,the tried and true pieces from last year. My Jessica Simpson Ballerina Flats are a nice solution when you don’t feel like boots. I’ve paired them up with skinnies and skirts and they are super comfy.The stretchy ankle strap adds a bit of youthfulness to them as well. My Sam Edelman booties are a godsend and lets just say I wouldn’t get through Fall without them. Or Winter. Or Spring…. okay I may be obsessed with booties. What is on your Fall Must-Have shopping list?
