Creature Comforts for Fall


Summer's ending and I'm sad. I'm going to miss the hot weather and street festivals and coming home to take a cool shower and cranking the AC. Fall leaves a bad taste in my mouth and I can feel it in my loins. Fall makes me think of school starting, short days, and homework assignments. 

The one thing I do really like about Fall (besides Halloween) is reconsidering my wardrobe for the upcoming season. Here are some things I'm wanting to spice this season up a bit:

           
Large Mirrored Backpack Satchel 


 I love shiny,silvery, reflective things so much. I also favor large bags because I'm a bit of a shopping bag lady and have to carry everything around with me. This bag is basically the perfect combination. 
$80 from Golden Ponies



Serinna Ankle boots


These shoes are basically sex and wine in a footwear format. That back zipper - delicious! These seem like the type of footwear required if you intend to hang out at a flashy club and sip a martini and glare at people or if you want to get in touch with your inner femme fatale...or both!
The only downside is they aren't real leather and they're 110 bucks! Perhaps setting up a Gofundme page is in order. These are available in two other colors as well from ALDO.



Knit Fingerless Armwarmers (Pumpkin Orange)





I'm the type of person that imagines scenarios in which I'd wear a garment. When I saw these I imagined myself spending an entire rainy, overcast fall day in Filter ( a local coffee shop) sipping caramel apple cider and  writing, reading, and drawing in my sketchbook while wearing these comfy looking arm warmers. I'd also be doing my best to ignore all the annoying people walking by on the side walk that like to tap on the window as they pass by. Available in a variety of colors for $48 from LeftTwistKnits on Etsy.


Zana Bayne Harnesses




These harness make me wanna die. They're amazing! I was introduced to this designer by a very fashionable and adorable girl that I hung out with a couple months ago and she was wearing one. What I like about them is that they could basically make any outfit look interesting and they could literally be worn everyday. They're real leather which means they can get kinda pricey (The cheapest is about $110) but they come in a small variety of different colors and they have some vegan options. I have been eyeing the basic harness style in clear PVC. They're available for sale here.

Happy fall!
