Every thing is beautiful . &nbsp;That red, plaid jacket is to die for. Well, everything else&nbsp;is too, really. &nbsp; Lyn, please consider getting your pumps whether they go on sale or not. &nbsp;You love them, you will wear them. &nbsp;If you have to cut back on something else &nbsp;( not food ! &nbsp;LOL ), then so be it.</p> <p>Also, regarding Kate Middleton's dress. &nbsp;Are you sure it is the dress you want and not the Prince and the private jet ? &nbsp;; ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-fall-shopping-list#post-999782 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 14:56:33 +0000 Day Vies 999782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous. All of these are so perfectly you. I especially love the teal belt and tartan dresses. I have been looking for tartan pieces myself but I haven't found the one that begs me to bring it home yet. </p> <p>Early fall is my favorite time of year too it seems that designers put more effort into winter/fall collections. There is so much eye candy about! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-fall-shopping-list#post-999774 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 14:44:59 +0000 Sara L. 999774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your list sounds very well thought out.&nbsp; I wish you luck in finding everything you want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-fall-shopping-list#post-999614 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 07:21:53 +0000 Hil 999614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress in #3 and the booties in #8 are gorgeous!

Your shopping list looks gorgeous.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm afraid I can't really help on finding that specific heartbreaker dress (it's gorgeous though!), but the Fall 2013 Heartbreaker collection has a similar green plaid dress:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://heartbreakerfashion.com/dresses/mitzi-dress/mitzi-dress-cozy-flannel-olive.html">http://heartbreakerfashion.com.....olive.html</a>&nbsp;If you wait,&nbsp;Blame Betty (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://blamebetty.com/">http://blamebetty.com/</a>) might stock it for convenience (Canadian, free returns, pretty cheap shipping). Cheers!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-fall-shopping-list#post-999605 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 06:25:25 +0000 ramya 999605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love love the shopping list Lyn. The booties are my fav of the lot </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-fall-shopping-list#post-999599 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 05:46:52 +0000 lyn* 999599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is my favorite time of year - the pre-season before the Fall/Winter shopping season which is typically my busiest time of the year! And living in Canada means that my biggest season is Fall/Winter, too!&nbsp;</p> <p>This year though, I'm hoping to be able to prune my closet down into a well-oiled machine, so I thought I'd set myself up with 10 things that I really really really want to buy, and hopefully be able to hold off on everything else (haahah).&nbsp;</p> <p>I tried to match each item with a reason why I wanted it - whether I was inspired by some other piece or that someone else had one, or if I needed to replace or repair something I already had. Alternatively, pieces can also add mileage to what I already own, too!</p> <p>Are there any gaping holes or omissions?&nbsp;</p> <p>THE LIST:</p> <p>1) REPLACEMENT (1/2) - Nude (or Nude Toned) Pumps&nbsp;- I'm after the Naturalizer Lennox; none other will do I just need them to go on sale!</p> <p>2) INSPIRATION (3/4/5)&nbsp;- Blackwatch Plaid Dress - After Kate M's iconic McQ dress, I can't help but want one myself! While the original (3, with mods) is a bit out of my price range (haha, a bit) - there is a pretty sheath style from Talbot's (4) which has an interesting lace detail at the hem. I am also fond of the shape of the Heartbreaker version (5) but it seems to be sold out, so much stalking will be necessary.</p> <p>3) INSPIRATION (6/7) - Blue Lace Dress - I haven't had much luck with sheaths lately, so taking a page again from Kate M, I do like the flared style of a navy flare dress I found on Pinterest (7). I am hoping that it can be my Winter 2013 party dress, too - apparently I have "EVENTS" I am supposed to go to. *eye roll*</p> <p>4) REPLACEMENT (8) - Ankle Booties - My last pair of booties decided to die on me last year, but I did some repairs and the CPR only lasted the rest of the season, so I do need a replacement this year. Not looking forward to the search.&nbsp;</p> <p>5) REPAIR (9) - My Doc Martens need ++ repair - I am slightly embarrassed to take them to the cobblers. I hope he has seen worse :p&nbsp;</p> <p>6) ENHANCER (10/11) - I plan to invest in two Anthro belts; one that will be a brown or a black basic that I can match with almost anything, and one that is a bit more fun in colour or design. I have been getting a lot of wear out of my Anthro belts, so I don't mind making the investment.&nbsp;</p> <p>7) INSPIRATION (12) - One of my colleagues has a beautiful plaid blazer, and I want one too! I do need to find the right one for me - I am currently stalking this one from Anthropologie, although J Crew has a blackwatch plaid one Tee hee.</p> <p>8) BONUS (13) - I want to get a dress in a heavier fabrication that can carry me through the colder fall; this Anthro one is a heavier material. I need to stalk it too, because it is a few years old in design.</p> <p>9) REPLACEMENT (14) - Nicer Costume Jewelry (These are by Maru and are so cute!)&nbsp;- I am starting to outgrow some of my Forever21 stuff and it is falling apart and all over the place; I am hoping to invest in one or two nicer (still costume) pieces that aren't too blingy!</p> <p>10) BONUS (???) - Because we always come across something that we MUST have or need but couldn't anticipate, right? :)</p> <p>Wish me luck! </p> <p>PS: I want a red frock :)</p>
