September is a weird month. Is September still summer or is it fall? For that reason, I decided to give myself a no-shopping rule. I definitely have a hard time sticking to a complete nothing rule, so only a few things snuck in.
Now we’re in October, but it’s 88° today. I’m seeing all the gorgeous fall things that I want, and yet I’m sitting here in shorts and a T-shirt.
So for this week, I’m keeping it simple and sharing with you the things that made it through the no-shopping rule, things that I’m eyeing for fall, and what I think are the best purchases that will last year after year.

$35 cardigan I love this so much that I’m planning to grab the purple! I am not a fan of purple, but the muted shade is gorgeous!
Suede purse a must for fall & a steal at only $60!
Burgundy sweater so soft & cozy! Perfect for the season.
Back to my fav shampoo I’ve tried so many high-end brands &have decided to go back to this!



Favorite cashmere sweater this is the perfect oversized, cozy cashmere sweater. I be it in two colors!
Henley cashmere so pretty for something outside of a plain cashmere sweater.
Drifter sweater the perfect classic look that meets cozy & preppy!



Fall leather bag this designer makes the most gorgeous leather bags they are soft, supple & affordable.
Leather boots this boot is just screaming buy me! It is classic & cool at the same time. You’ll wear these year after year.
Ballet flat perfect for that casual look that needs just a tiny bit of elevation.


My favorite style of jeans I have these in several colors. They work with every body &are so comfortable when you have the extra middle weight because of menopause.
I have these in 3 prints camo, zebra & bandana prints are in my closet. They just released deer print which are in my cart. Comfy, cute & $16!
