If there is one thing I am most excited for this fall season, besides pumpkin flavored, well, anything, is wearing my Barbour jacket. After I first saw this classic beauty on the Upper East Side, I knew I had to have it! And thanks to a long depressing week of Hurricane Sandy, I treated myself to the best thing that has ever been mine.

Warning: Prepare yourselves for I will be living in wearing it all fall/winter long on Instagram. Safe to say I am pretty much attached to my Barbour. I love it that much!

“Barbour is a 120 year-old global brand with a distinct British attitude”, and has taken to likings of the entire Royal family. A British attitude and the Royal family? Who wouldn’t fall in love. The brand  is for the outdoor, countryside lifestyle, but has been taken over by the fashion savvy.

The Beadnell jacket that I own is a little masculine, but it is how you wear it that makes it your own. With its hunter green color and tartan interior lining, this classic jacket is my go-to for any fall outfit. I really do think this is an essential, staple piece for both women and men. I always do a double take and get a little weak in the knees when I see a guy sporting a Barbour.  It is laid-back, preppy, sporty, classic, and looks put-together all at the same time. The best part it is durable for any weather condition, a great mix of fashion and function–bring it on snowstorms! If there isn’t a Barbour store near you, you can purchase them at Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, Madewell, Orvis, Tuckernuck, and J.Crew.

I like printed pants and I can not lie. I know you are shocked but it is true, I do, and it maybe one of the only trendy things I wear. When in Rome I guess. Anyway, last year when J.Crew came out with a few printed minnie pants I instantly fell in love and jumped at the chance to snag a few. Maybe even knocking down a few fellow shoppers while doing so…

Now wearing printed pants can be a little tricky, it has to be the right print and the right fit. If I am going to wear a print, it will have to have structure. I would also suggest wearing heels while wearing printed pants to elongate your legs unlike the photos from below…. Hey we all make mistakes, lesson learned. 

My white shell top is probably my new favorite clothing item.  I love it for it’s casual feel but a dressed up look with the faux leather. It hits right at my hips but luckily for me I have a short torso so it’s not too short on me, it is as close to a crop top as I will ever get. You can now scoop it up for $59.50!

Oh booties, I am sure glad you came along. 
As much as I love wearing riding boots, I like clean lines and riding boots can sometimes cut the look of your pants and will create a bunch at the knee (no matter how skinny your pants are). I also get tired of wearing them every day and night. And lets face it, boots do not go well with every outfit so a girl needs more options! 
This is why I love the bootie– no not your backside, the shoe! The bootie is still stylish while staying warm. It’s almost like wearing heels but boots, but you’re not wearing boots you’re wearing heels? Confusing I know. They elongate your legs and can transform your day look into an evening outfit. I am definitely looking to invest in more for the fall season as you can never have too many pairs of shoes. 
p.s. This post may have been the hardest one I have had to write, since I am so distracted by New York Fashion Week.
