Another closet staple that I’m on the hunt for this fall is the perfect ankle bootie.  As you know, comfort is key to running around the city and a chunky heel will definitely keep you on your feet for hours (a few of my blogger friends can testify!).  Naturally, the Rag & Bone Harrow Bootie would be at the top of my wish list — that is, if I had half a grand to drop on a pair of shoes.  Lucky for us, I found a few budget-friendly options that make for quite the steal.  Your wallet and your feet can thank me later!

little mesh dress.

There are plenty of ways to wear a little black dress, but this one might be my favorite.  I’m not the kind of girl that you’ll see wearing cut-out panels, but I will rock a bit of mesh.  It’s definitely more demure than its edgy counterpart, but it shows enough skin to make for a feminine and fresh take on the LBD.  This time around, accessories take a backseat to this fun little party frock.

As an Arizona girl living in NYC, fall is a bit of a strange season to me.  I’m used to the weather going from scorching to freezing in a matter of two weeks, which is why I’m completely unprepared for an entire season dedicated to transition.  I’m on the hunt for a new jacket to keep cozy while the temps slowly drop and the moto jacket is on the top of my list.  Check out a few of my favorite options and let me know which ones you’d rock!
