Amazon Fall Fashion Finds

A few of my favorite Amazon Fall Fashion Finds. From left to right, a striped turtleneck sweater, a grey sweater, a cream cardigan sweater, a navy blazer, black ballet flats, a leather puffer jacket, a white quilted shacket, a tan long cardigan sweater, and a black quilted leather crossbody bag.

I’m back with another monthly round-up of Amazon Fashion Finds. This month, there are a bunch of incredible pieces for fall. I’m eyeing this cozy oversized cardigan sweater that I can wear with leggings around the house or with jeans and sneakers for a casual everyday outfit. This ivory quilted shirt jacket is a lovely lightweight layering piece under $50, as well as this tan long cardigan coat. These leather ankle boots are under $30. And these leather ballet flats come in many colors and are incredibly comfortable.

3 Transitional Fall Outfit Ideas

3 Transitional Fall Outfit Ideas

I’m feeling very inspired by all the new arrivals for fall. J.Crew and J.Crew Factory especially nailed it this year, and I’m looking forward to finally being able to wear some of those pieces in the next month. For now, I’m brainstorming some transitional fall outfit ideas that will carry me through the changing seasons and temperatures. Over time, I’ve found the key to styling transitional outfits is picking pieces that you can easily layer. You get double the wear out of the pieces in your closet, and it saves you from buying a whole new wardrobe every season. I’m a big advocate for wardrobe staples, and these versatile pieces are exactly that!

Is the high today in Chicago 102º F? Yes. Am I writing about fall basics? Sure am. It’s fine, I’m fine, everything is fine, haha. But in all seriousness, J.Crew Factory has some pieces I’m pretty excited about wearing once it cools down, just a touch. And you can take an extra 20% off $100+ with the code YESPLEASE. Here are a few of my favorites, from sweaters and coats to skirts and shoes.

Note: In case you’re coming over from Instagram, here is the last post I did on Emma’s room! Need to post photos of it now that it’s completed, but most links are here. :)

I’ll start by saying this: Emma’s a year or two away from being an actual tween. In her heart, though, she’s there. 😉 Yes, she still loves a lot of “little girl” stuff. But she also loves sleepovers, Zara, graphic novels, texting, dance parties, gaming, makeup, tween YouTube stars, Harry Styles and Taylor Swift. (Though probably not as much as her sister. IYKYK)

What to Buy from Tuckernuck in August

It’s hard to believe that summer is already winding down and that fall and cooler temps will be just around the corner before we know it. Tuckernuck always has the best pieces for fall, so I sifted through their new arrivals and pulled some of my favorite finds to share. There are a few transitional pieces you can wear from the end of summer into fall as well as a bunch of new fall staples like quilted coats and cozy sweaters that I’m looking forward to pulling out in about a month.
