Fall Must-Haves

I came across these items while doing some of my fall 2009 shopping, and I immediately put them on my must-have list! They're some great staples for putting together any look this season:

Black patent stud belt, $20, Torrid. Pair with dress or high-waisted skirt to make the look a little edgier.

Assorted leggings beginning at $20, Torrid, through size 26/28. Here's a great blog entry from Bahrain Poise on how to wear leggings this fall: Leggings.

Diane Von Furstenberg Hayworth Clutch, $395, Diane Von Furstenberg

Leather zip jacket, $199, oldnavy.com, sizes 16/18-20/22. This is such a versatile piece--you can pair it with nearly anything (wear it with something super frilly and feminine to make the look a little edgier, wear it with a pair of boots to achieve the oh-so-in biker look, or style it simple with a basic denim pant and tee)!

Thigh-high suede boot, $110, piperlime.com. Are you daring enough to try this trend? It's not just for the Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman-type, either. Any woman can wear them. If you're not sure how to wear them with an outfit, a simple belted dress is always a great choice (just don't pair them with anything made of fishnet or lycra!).

Cream/black shift dress, £35 ($57), Dorothy Perkins, through US size 20. Nuff said.

Melie Bianco diagonal stitch tote, $79, piperlime.com.

L.A.M.B. open toe ankle boot, $345, piperlime.com. These are a really versatile pair of shoes that can be worn with denim or dresses, day or night--be creative!

Dark denim pencil skirt, $29.50, Old Navy, through size 20. Classic. A staple piece to pair with all those trendy items you purchase.
