While I hate to kiss summer goodbye, I have to admit that Shopbop
is making it quite easy to welcome fall and the colder weather by giving us the best of fall fashion. Looking at their latest arrivals I once again found a ton of covetable things I’d love to add to my closet. If money were no object this is what I’d get to update my fall wardrobe…

I love the idea of Fab Friday 5. All week long I want, I want, I want and then the next week starts and usually I want, I want, I want five new things so this feature is perfect (I’m pretty sure Irina, Vahni and Vanessa are all with me on that one). I initially tried to stick with a theme, but then thought, screw it, my taste is all over the place and that’s OK! There’s some color, some jewelry, some alcohol and some shoes. Here are a few of my favorite things from this week…
The Breakdown:
- LOFT Flutter Silk Dress, $128 – I’ve been obsessed with this dress for the better part of a week. I LOVE how LOFT styled it up with a rugged brown belt. I plan to do the same with mine. Because I obviously have no will power. I planned on waiting for a sale but nope. Too weak.
- Baybreeze Cocktail, $5-15 – I thought about including food as one of my FF5 items, but forget it, it’s too hot to think about food. Let’s think about drinks. I mean it is Friday after all, and as they say, it’s always 5pm somewhere. I present the Baybreeze. A delicious, oh so summery drink with vodka, cranberry and pineapple juice. It’s my go-to summer drink.
- Anthropologie Higgledy-Piggledy Pencil Skirt, $148 – OK, I know it’s a bazillion degrees out right now, but pretend it’s a cool 55. Now picture yourself wearing this skirt. So cute, right? It probably tops my wish list at the moment and we all know that’s no small feat. I love the asymmetrical buttons. I want to wear this with a silky, flouncy blouse and deep purple tights.
- Silver Multi-Chain Shoulder Necklace Harness, $49.99 – I’m know I’m not exactly being cutting edge with this (these shoulder chains have been around since 2009 – duh) but I had to include this because I am currently lusting over body jewelry. I haven’t bought one yet but it’s only because I’m waiting for the perfect one to enter my life. Tick tock…
- J.Crew Tilly Satin Two-tone Platform Heels, $325 – J.Crew isn’t necessarily the first place I’d turn to when looking for a new pair of shoes, but I have to admit that I sat in front of my computer drooling over their Fall arrivals. It was hard to choose just one pair to feature here, but I just love these “Tilly” two-tone heels. They will look ah-mazing with colored, patterned tights. I pray for a sale. And now on to the next five!

I know that here at InTheirCloset we have both Kardashian friends and foes. I have to admit that I generally fall into the latter category. Yes, they are beautiful girls, but they often end up looking a little more klassy than classy if you know what I mean. Occasionally, though, they actually put together looks that I find not only passable but *gasp* cute.
Exhibit A: Khloe Kardashian showed up to the Naven And Boulee Fashion Event in L.A. last year wearing the designer’s super fun hot pink mini skirt ($140). Hot pink is certainly not for the faint of heart, but I think it was a perfect statment-making piece on a summer day. I also really dug her cut-out sandals. For a cheaper version of Khloe’s look, take a look at our picks below. I’m especially in love with the skirt – I love the slight paper-bag style waist!

When the H&M Garden Collection debuted last week, and promptly flew off shelves, I had a feeling that a floral revolution was upon us. I, myself, have been lusting after a floral bustier for what feels like ages. Of course the onset of spring always brings with it a love of all things abloom, but this year feels especially flowery. Clearly our favorite starlets are just as besotted – and with the floral mini-skirt in particular. It feels fresh and young and pairs equally well with knee-high boots as it does with sky-high heels. I don’t always advocate jumping on the trend wagon but in this case all I can say is “welcome aboard”.

You’re probably already aware of my obsession for everything nautical, so it may not surprise you that seeing Emmy Rossum in this super cute VAVA by Joy Han skipper dress makes me swoon. Emmy attended Nivea and Shay Todd’s “Bikini Bash” in Malibu a few days ago and looked simply drop dead gorgeous in that dress whilst being perfectly accessorized with a white Gustto “Andrea” satchel.
I am really, really loving Emmy’s dress – the cute navy striped bodice, the high-waisted denim skirt and don’t even get me started on the cute gold buttons! L-O-V-E! Perfect summer dress.

One year ago a fresh-faced Keira Knightley attended a photocall for her film “The Edge of Love” in Edinburgh wearing a cute floral printed blouse from Topshop (£35) which had a black contrasting collar and ruffled bib. Keira paired her Topshop blouse with a black high-waisted pencil skirt and matching black lace-up booties.
I love this look on Keira, she looks so healthy and happy and her outfit is young and fun, it would make a great wear-to-work ensemble.

A few weeks ago actress Vanessa Hudgens was spotted out and about in Hollywood sporting a super flirty floral high-waisted Myne skirt with a black tank, her favorite DvF pendant necklace & aviator Ray-Bans, Dolce Vita sandals and a black Antik Batik fringe bag.
I love this look on Vanessa, she’s improving more and more in the style department.

Like Vanessa’s flirty ensemble, but don’t have thousands of cash laying around? No problem, here are a few recession-proof suggestions that are just as stylish:
LuLu’s Plush Rose Tank Dress
This tank dress from LuLu’s instantly reminded me of Vanessa’s outfit when I stumbled upon it. The skirt might not be pink like Vanessa’s, but it’s high-waisted, has florals on it and costs only $34.

Report Nita Black Sandal Flats
Again these sandals are no exact match to Vanessa’s flats, but why spend hundreds on pricey shoes when there are cuties like these which are way more affordable?
