Fall/Winter 2019 Must Haves Under $50

It's that time wonderful time of year right between fall and winter. Summer is gone gone,  fall is barely hanging on and winter is swiftly approaching. These past couple of weeks I have been on my Marie Kondo and purging my wardrobe as I do twice a year. After purging, I did an inventory of what I needed to add back and realized I'm missing some key fall/winter pieces. I made a list of things I need and think you need to make sure these things are included in your wardrobe for fall and winter. 

1. Hair Accessories

2. Oversized Blazer

3. Statement Coat

4. Printed Tights

5. Boots

Fall 2018 Must Haves Under $50

Last Saturday marked the first day of fall. For once, I am happy that summer is over because the weather has been super trash. This weeks forecast has more sunny days then there has been all summer here in DC. The fall weather is looking up so far. So I'm excited about that. 

It's that time where we bring you the current season's essentials or must-haves. Most must-haves repeat themselves from year to year, but this is the perfect time to tie in the current trends. You can also incorporate items from past seasons, like your mules and sneakers from spring to fill your fall wardrobe. See what I think you are this fall's essentials. 

1. Light Jacket - Wear it on its own earlier in the season before it gets cold cold. Depending on where you live, you may or may not have already pulled out your jackets. Try buying a size up so you can layer for later in the season. 

2. Long Sleeve Dress - Ditch your summer dresses for a long-sleeved style that you can pair with boots or sneakers.

3.  Paperbag Pants - Cropped, fitted or flared are all variations of paperbag pants. Find a style that fits you and add (if you don't already have a pair) them to your fall wardrobe. 

4. Jumpsuit - Trade your romper in for a jumpsuit. They are perfect for any occasion. Whether you are running errands or a night out with your girls or bae. Wear them with mules, sneakers, or booties, whatever you want really. 

5. Ankle Boots - It's not really fall until you pull out your boots.  Wear them with literally whatever you want. Get some bold booties that make a statement and step into fall.

Fall 2017 Must Haves

Whew! It feels like it's been a while since we did a "must haves" post but I'm going to jump right in and say in normal fashion that I am not ready for fall at all. Especially now that I am living clear across the country in Los Angeles and the top reason for my move was so that I would not have to deal with seasons. According to LA locals, September/October can be some of the hottest months which I am totally looking forward to. Enough about the weather I'm experiencing and more about the items you need in your closet this fall! See below 6 things you need this fall!

Wrap Skirt |  Faux Leather Pants | Mini Skirt $50 | Leather Jacket | Faux Fur Top | Shearling Jacket | Retro T-shirt

1. Neutral Plaids - Whether it be a skirt, dress or pants you can pair your neutral plaids with just about any band tee or slogan tee to make it edgier.

2. Leather - This must-have is explanatory, I always have at least 3-4 leather pieces in my wardrobe at all times. Get yourself a leather skirt and a pair of leather pants and you'll be solid for fall.

3. Fun Fur - I have seen this "Fun Fur" in Zara over the summer. Basically, colorful faux fur on the sleeves of sweatshirts and tee shirts but also a fun fur jacket wouldn't hurt.

4. Slogan Tee - One of those trends that will follow us forever. To be honest the slogans get doper each year!

5. Shearling - Shearling was a huge trend last fall and winter and here we are yet again but let's take it to another level with brighter colors as a statement piece.

6. Fringe - MORE FRINGE! Get it in your closet!

Fall/Winter 2017 NYFW Recap

It's officially been a little over a week since we attended New York Fashion Week. Our trip to NYFW was based around an invitation to the Yuna Yang FW17 show that we received. 

Day1: We arrived in New York around 11 am Friday and got right to it. Our first few hours in the city consisted of us doing a little shopping in the city and then we attended NYFW Style Soiree with Stylinity where we were able to drink champagne, network with other fashion bloggers and check out the unique jewelry in LuLu Frost. We kept the ball rolling and attended the Art Loves Fashion show that evening. The Art Loves Fashion show showcased three up and coming designers. The three designers we saw were: Fernando Alberto Atelier, Pineda Covalin, and Mister Triple X. My favorite designer of the evening was Fernando Alberto Atelier because of the chicness of each piece. Check out a couple photos from the show.

Day 2: We attended the Yuna Yang show. It was the first official show of our trip and we ended up sitting front row where we could see the models at the beginning of the runway. Sweet! See my favorite looks from the Yuna Yang FW 17 show and video of the actual show below!

After the Yuna Yang show, we took our talents to the Skylight Clarkson Square building where most of the top designer shows are held and somehow we ended up in the Dion Lee FW17 Show. Major Win! The Dion Lee line was very dope, edgy and right up my alley with simple yet daring pieces. Check out some of my favorite looks from the show as well as video of the actual show below!

After the Dion Lee show was over we hung out in the Skylight building and visited the photo booth to take some quick photos and then we swung by the Tresemme NYFW Salon where hairstylists are hired to spruce up your hair with everything from halo braids to wand curls absolutely free. The right price for frugal shopaholics like ourselves. So we got our hair curled and were prepared for our next move, dinner with some fellow fashion bloggers @inspiredbykrys & @tashjmackk.

We had one more fashion show to attend Christian Benner FW17. It required us to stand outside in the cold in my heels for an hour and a half. It felt like we were standing in line for the club. Once we got in the concept was totally different than what we expected. The models were standing on a stage and on the tops of booth seats decked out in Christian Benner leather jackets. It was jam packed but we at least got a chance to see the line.

Needless to say, we were happy that we came to NYFW! We were able to attend 4 fashion shows our first time! We met some great people and had an experience of a lifetime. We definitely have a better understanding of how things work and will be bringing our "A" game come September!

Shirt or Mini Dress - Add some tights and sandals or thigh boots to make this a great fall look. You can add these fall pieces to your fav summer shorts.

But we want to equip you with items you should look out for and purchase if the price is right!
