My 2011 Fall Fashion Wish List

I’m sure you all are used to me posting about all of the serious stuff in my personal, professional and spiritual life but I am a woman and I love fashion.  I struggle with buying color because black seems to fit my style so well, but each season I look forward to adding a few key pieces to update my look.  Check out the top ten items on my wish list for fall 2011…

1 – I’m very picky about watches.  I finally found a silver and a gold one by Fossil that I absolutely love so I am thinking about adding a classic white boyfriend watch to the collection.

Dress Leather Watch - $105

2 – As the temperatures start to cool, its nice to have something pretty and warm to wrap up in.  Since I usually wear basic blacks, I think this cute red coat from Express will give me a little pizzazz…

Wool Blend Fit and Flare Coat - $198

3 – I will always have a special place in my heart for stilettos but as I get older and my son moves a little faster, flats become more attractive. I debated between the brown and black Nine West boots but you know the black won…

Knee High Boots - $159

4 – Although I love wearing jeans and leggings (especially with those cute boots up there), I’m planning to add some sweater dresses to my 2011 fall look.  I think they’re stylish yet comfortable.  Tip: make sure you wear the proper undergarments and focus on fit, it’s not cute when they hug you in all of the wrong places. 

Argyle Cowl Neck Sweaterdress - $24.80

5 – I’m not necessarily a pack rat but I do like to have everything at the tip of my fingers so having a purse that I can throw all of my necessities into without them getting loss in an abyss is essential.  This season is all about accent colors for me and the quality of a leather Coach bag is unmatched.

COACH CHELSEA LEATHER JAYDEN CARRYALL

Chelsea Leather Jayden CarryAll - $358

6 – In preparation for the holiday party season, I like to kick off with one great black dress.  Betsey Johnson, one of my favorite dress designers, never fails to deliver.  Her styles are so unique and quite flirty which I think describes me perfectly ;)

Bows Strapless - $398

7 – I don’t wear make up every day but when going out, I love to go all the way.  I’ve tried other brands but once I went MAC, I never looked back.  Glossy lips, blushing cheeks, flawless foundation and smokey eyes will be my look for fall.

6 Warm Smokey Eye Shadows - $38

8 – Although my toes will be tucked away in warm socks and cute books, rest assured that they will be perfectly pedicured in OPI polish.

9 – Yes, I am still debating which tablet I need (more of a want) for my fall travels but so far, I have settled on the iPad2.  Yes, I consider my technology to be a part of my style – lol, don’t judge me :)

iPad2 with WiFi - $499 at BestBuy

10 – Of course, you always have to have one dream item on your wish list otherwise, it would be a shopping list.  Tacori never fails to deliver some stunning eye candy for me…

My favorite thing: Betsey Johnson dresses

I think this should be my birthday dress... happy #33 (Aug 4)

Back in the day, I was a Store Manager at Betsey Johnson’s boutique in Nashville.  Before working there, I had always admired the designer’s bold colors and girly dress styles.  She isn’t afraid to do her own thing which makes her my kind of girl.

I vividly remember the store’s silver floors and pink walls as well as the reaction of many of Nashville’s conservative customers as they ventured into our wonderland.  I don’t think many of them expected to find such timeless creations in what seemed like a whacked out locale.

Aside from Betsey’s cute shoes and accessories, her dresses have always been my favorites.  I wasn’t much of a dress person before finding her designs but it seems like they fit me perfectly, offer the optimal balance between flirty and sexy while making me feel like a woman.

If you’ve never been in one of her stores, I suggest you check it out.  If the styles seem a little over the top, I suggest you at least try one on… you never know (how they will fit or look) ’til you try :)
