It is finally October which means Fall has finally begun, the season of boots, coats, scarves, knitwear and more. But it’s only October, today happens also to be my 26th birthday (yay!), so this month’s Shopbop wish list might be a bit more special to me than the others one as it features some items I really, really wish for (but don’t have money for 
). It’s kind of really red-heavy this time which is weird because while I do like the color and own a lot of red stuff it’s unusual for me to pick so many red things, but the selection felt very natural to me, so I just let it happen somehow. Have fun & let me know what you think of my October picks.

When I shop for dresses I often end up with a new sheath dress in my cart. I have so many pencil dresses now it’s almost ridiculous. But I just can’t help it; these type of dresses suit my body shape the best. Baggy dresses look absolutely horrible on me and babydoll dresses are just not my cup of tea. However it’s tough sometimes with so many sheath dresses in your wardrobe because a sheath looks always quite dressy and you can hardly go for a casual look if you put on a pencil dress. Not that I would mind too much though because I prefer to be over- than underdressed any time. Look at this stunningly beautiful sheath by Roland Mouret for example. It’s perfection! How am I supposed to ever stay away from these kinds of dresses? Simply impossible.

ASOS is my go-to dealer for affordable yet stylish sheath dresses. Just look at this one below! A perfect Roland Mouret look-a-like but with a much nicer price tag of under $80. Once again I couldn’t resist, people, so I recently bought this dress. And let me tell you: it’s AMAZING! I love, love, love it. It fits me like a glove and keeps my shopping budget sane.

I love Black Halo dresses but who doesn’t? They are so elegant, so chic and timeless – great investment pieces! Unfortunately not everyone can invest $349 in a dress because they have silly stuff to pay like rent and food and mortgages. However, even at these prices Black Halo creations sell like hot cakes.

Celebrities Love Black Halo
Black Halo has always been very popular among celebrities, but this ruffled pencil dress was a must-have. I seriously lost count on how many celebrities have already been spotted in this dress. Taraji P. Henson was the first to sport one in black, then came Debra Messing and from then on the rest followed.

Hybrid Dress with Deep V Neck and Frill Sleeves
UPDATE (10/03/2011): Woohoo, look at these amazing Black Halo look-a-like dresses by Hybrid. You’ll get the same look for less than half the price. Love the rich plum version!

ChicStar Ruffle Sleeves Cotton Pencil Dress
If you like Black Halo’s sheath dress, but can’t spend $300+ on a dress, try this knockoff version by ChicStar. It might not be as delicate as the original, but you can’t beat the price of $34.95 (1/10!). The Black Halo knockoff dress comes in either blue or black and would make a great wear-to-work dress, don’t you think?

Ever since Scarlett Johansson split from hubby & hottie Ryan Reynolds her style and Wow!-factor has plummeted tremendously. I can’t even remember being mildly excited about any of her red carpet looks this year. But while we give ScarJo time to recollect her sense of style and let her get back to her A game, let’s go back to one of her best red carpet moments in 2010: the green Dolce & Gabbana lace dress which she wore to the MTV Movie Awards last year. So hot! Check out our budget-friendly take on Scarlett’s delicate look below and let us know what you think.
