I hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend. We’ve had beautiful Fall weather, especially in the evenings. I had to grab a little cardigan last night when we headed out for dinner. Boots and booties are next!

I was able to finally visit the Factory store last week and found some great items that did come home with me! Here are a few of my picks. I loved the Wool Fedora and bought it in Brown. I also purchased another Elephant Tee as I have worn my retail version constantly and could use a back up. I sized down to a Small in the Homespun Popover Shirt. I think that will probably be the only plaid shirt I purchase for the season.

I was excited to see and try on the Wool Blazer in Green. It and the Sherpa-Lined Utility Vest were both 50% off in-store. I bought the size 8 instead of waiting for a price drop on the Petite 10. Since the weather has finally turned I am excited to finally bring out my Sawyer Booties. You’ll definitely see them paired with my Wide-Leg Cropped Jean.

I’ll have reviews this coming week as well. And just in time too, as Factory will have a new roll-out this week.

Happy Sunday Shopping!

This is one of my favorite sales during Fall. There so many great pieces to choose from. I’ve seen the Silk Bow Blouse and it’s gorgeous. I would buy that in a heartbeat if I worked in an office. I would throw it on under my Black J Crew Blazer and Trouser Jeans with a Leopard Bootie. The Lidia Polo is a favorite of mine. I have this one in black.

I’ve reviewed the Pleated Silk Shirtdress and Drawstring Tunic Sweater. The Swindon Flats are a cool version of the black flat and probably the one item that is high on my list to purchase. I’ve tried on the Derby Riding Boot in a size 7 in the Brown. It’s a gorgeous color but the calf was too tight for me. The foot is actually pretty long so sizing to a 7 1/2 would make it look too big on me.

Are you looking at anything during the Tory Burch Fall Event?

To kick off October here’s a quick little post about some Halloween items I was able to find at the Pottery Barn Outlet. They had a lot of items available for Fall, Halloween, and Thanksgiving decorating. My PB Outlet is such a large store and carries items from every store in the William Sonoma family – PB Retail/Baby/Kids/Teens, West Elm and Williams Sonoma. Husband and I usually spend a few hours in there looking at everything and have found quite a few items for our house, both past and present.

The front of the store was set up to show off all of the Halloween and Fall items for decorating. Of course, pumpkins were everywhere including these Grout & Mercury Pumpkins and Antique Mercury Glass Pumpkins. There were a lot of luminaries and candle holders including some similar to these Owls.

Here are a few IRLs from some items in the outlet. I really liked the Spider, which was on promo at the time for $34.97.
 
These Pumpkins would be perfect to extend through Thanksgiving.
 
I was a little creeped out by the Crow Pillow. But that just means it’s perfect for putting out for Halloween.
There was only this Mummy Pillow in-store but online has a Luminary and a Wine Bag.
Currently, the Pottery Barn retail store has up to 40% off all Halloween items. The PB Outlet has an extra 25% off Kids Halloween items. I saw a lot of costumes and fun decor for kids at the store.
If you find yourself lucky enough to have a Pottery Barn Outlet near you it’s worth stopping by!

I really am liking Anthropologie’s Dress and Skirt options for Fall. There are several dresses that will work really well into my Fall Style.  The Tylho Sao Paulo Tunic Dress and the KAS New York Halli Dress will be great to wear with my Frye Shirley Boots.

Someone returned the Paper Crown Florette Maxi Dress at my store so I was able to try that on. I’ll share IRLs this week but I love the flow of the dress though I would need to size to an 8 instead of the 6 that my store had.

Both the Maeve Mazie Skirt and Cabled Colorblock Dress are adorably Mod. I was also able to try on the Cabled Colorblock Dress in-store so look for that review as well.

It is always nice to see a color option other than black for cocktail and special occasion dresses. The Byron Lars Carissima Sheath in Navy looks divine. From the online images I see that the lace detail is just slightly different between the colors offered – Navy, Black, Ivory.

What are you new favorites from Anthropologie? Are you shopping for day-to-day or already thinking ahead to Holiday parties?

While the guys are watching football, let’s do a little Sunday Shopping at Kate Spade?

I am in desperate need of some good denim trousers. I had a pair from the GAP but I wore them so much they have faded. I like having an option of a dark denim to wear instead of slacks.

That Fabled Forest Shift Dress is THE questionable item from Kate I’ve seen in a long time. I can’t even…Ugh. But watch, I’ll see it IRL and fall in love! 😉

The Read My Lips Coffee mug is one of my favorites. There’s also a Bow and Macaroons to choose from as well. Shop the rest of my picks on my Pinterest Board!

I’m actually multi-tasking by shopping AND watching football. I have a ve$ted interest since I’m in a Fantasy Football league. I came in Last Place last season. I am making sure that does NOT happen again! LOL! Here’s my Team Name and Logo, created by me with a razor, some construction paper and a little Photoshop. I’m soooo creative!

Have a Great Sunday!
