Back To School Style

The last few days of summer have always meant a few things: Desperately try to complete the last few items on your summer list (Still waiting on the book which becomes a permanent fixture on my shelves). On the other hand, we combat our summer sadness with the excitement of back to school style. Even though we are no longer actual students, there's still a fresh feeling that comes with the change of seasons and makes us remember the anticipation of picking out that fabulous outfit for the first day of school.

And as with many things in fashion, this year's back to school style starts with the perfect bag. “It’s back to the backpack,” says Teen Vogue senior fashion market editor, Mary KateSteinmiller. We are totally on board with the return of this school day staple because a) all that weight on our shoulders from totes can NOT be healthy and b) there are countless cute styles to choose from these days (not that we didn't love a good Eastpak back in the day). 

Whether you're still turning in homework or not, back to school style staples are must haves this season.

Fall Wish List: Lisa

I am so excited for fall fashion this year! Fall is my favorite season, so it only makes sense that I am obsessed with all the trends that we are all about to start wearing. I love buying a few trend pieces each year to mix and match with my current wardrobe. I mean, who can afford to buy a new entire closet each season? Not me! 

Quite a few trends are rolling over from last year but being revamped in a more updated way.
Hello plaid crop tops and kitten heels, swoon!  

Here are three of my favorite fall trends that I can't wait to shop:

Mad for Plaid

Joa // Sole Society // Tommy Hilfiger // ASOS 

Animal Print 

Elkin // Just Fab // Old Navy // Rachel Roy 

The Color Wine

Rag & Bone // Sole Society // Hilfiger via ASOS // ASOS

These Booties Were Made For Lusting...

I am a summer girl at heart - always have been and always will be so the winding down of the most beautiful 3 months here in Chicago is hard for me but luckily, there are a few things that can soften the blow starting with a never ending selection of new booties...

If there's one thing I look forward to in the colder months (and one only), it's wearing my favorite denim with a great pair of boots. Flat riding boots and ankle booties with a short heel top my list so I couldn't help perusing a few options online. Hey now, I need something to look forward to when the weather turns, right?

Here are a few pairs that caught my eye:

Which pair is a must in your closet?
