No, it's not Friday yet, but I'm doing This Week in Fashion a day early this week. You'll see why tomorrow (or some of you may already know.) It was back to the office for me after a week and a half working at home. While I enjoyed being back, I did miss my sleep, I had gotten used to getting up hours late last week. Depressing.

Last night I went to a fun event hosted by Marshalls in NYC, I'll post more about it next week. Today I'm going out to lunch with some old friends, should be a nice change to get out of the office during lunch. I usually just eat my sandwich at my desk because I'm too cheap to buy lunch every day.

I wore this super comfortable look to go out to dinner with one of my best friends last Friday.  I am going to have to force myself to not wear this Phillip Lim for Target sweater all the time, although not sure why that would be a totally bad thing. I should just give my many other sweaters some time in the spotlight, after-all, I love them too. What drew me to the sweater was the fun jeweled detailing on the collar (obviously.)

Today also happens to be my Mom's birthday! Yayyy! Sadly I won't be able to go home for dinner with the family because I have an event to go to with Marshalls. I'll just have to give her the awesome present I got her tomorrow.

I've had these photos saved for a couple months and am finally posting them...better late than never, right!? Anyway, Oasis and Warehouse both have amazing lookbooks for this Autumn/Winter season.  I definitely have my eye on a bunch of the pieces. What do you think? I'm smitten with all the outerwear, so many gorgeous coats and jackets.

Capes, purple and cashmere. Put them together and you have one of my new favorite pieces! I scored this cashmere cape at Roundabout Resale on Saturday! I went in just planning to look around and spotted some purple in the clearance section, pulled it out and was greeted by this amazing cape!  It was only $35, must be the fates telling me it had to be mine. I had been on the hunt for an affordable cape for a couple years and finally the fashion planets aligned to find my perfect match. I think I've found my new Fall weekend outfit.

Earlier this week I received an awesome name necklace from O Necklace! I have been wanting a name necklace for a while and they have so many styles to choose from, I ended up deciding on the 24k gold plated Alegro style. It is the perfect size and the chain is durable but dainty at the same time. I'm a sucker for packaging so I really enjoyed the textured gift box the necklace came in. (see more photos of the necklace and box at the bottom of the post)

We also tried to take some spinning/leaf throwing pictures, but they didn't work out too well.

This was my position all week.  I was still stuck at home because of train issues so, from 9-5:30, I worked from my couch.  Usually when I work from home I stay in my pjs all day, but this week I decided to try and get dressed for a couple of days.  I still kept it super comfortable in a sweater and jeans though.

And of course this one always tries to distract me...

I love leather jacket season! And the funny thing is: I didn't own a leather jacket until I randomly found this for a steal last year. It will definitely be a huge staple in my wardrobe for years to come. I wore this over the weekend to the Heritage India Festival the next town over with my aunt, brother and his girlfriend. I had a lot of fun people watching and almost bought a gorgeous tunic, but I resisted because I wouldn't have worn it a lot.

Time to introduce everyone to another new to me store: Tucci Designer Clothing. Tucci offer a fabulous collection of designer womenswear from leading designers including French Connection, Guess and more! Below are some piece I would love to add to my wardrobe for Fall and Winter.

It is finally the perfect weather for the inspired-by Burberry owl shirt I made last year!  For it's first outing this season I decided to pair it with my Mother denim skirt and burgundy booties.  I wore this for a morning of errands on Saturday - grocery store, T.J. Maxx and Duchess for lunch! A perfect morning. 

Tee: made by me, Skirt: Mother c/o Marshalls, Boots: Zigi Soho (DSW), Purse: Etienne Aigner (thrifted, $2!), Necklace c/o Gorjana Griffin, Watch: Skagen (Rue La La), Rings: vintage & Mom's

I always love being introduced to new websites and brands, recently I discovered Brantano for shoes.  They have an amazing collection with tons of womens boots options, perfect for Fall.  I've taken the liberty of creating a couple outfits for some Autumn inspiration!  This year boots that hit just above the ankle are very "in," but I am still partial to shorter booties or really tall.  I will definitely experiment with an in-between length when I find the perfect pair.

Look 1: These shoes are pretty basic so I went with an edgy vibe for the look. When you wear simple shoes you can really pump up the volume in the outfit.  Even though it is monochromatic I think it is very complex. The pleated leather and printed sweater go perfectly together.

Shoes: Clarks via Brantano, Skirt: Burberry London, Sweater: Mary Katrantzou, Clutch: Michael Micheal Kors, Earrings: Kimberly McDonald

Look 2: For this look I decided to go for an animal, safari vibe.  Tights may be needed for this outfit depending on when it's worn but Fall is that time of year when you never know how the day will end up.

Shoes: Emilio Luca via Brantano, Jacket: 3.1 Phillip Lim, Dress: Mara Hoffman, Necklace: Deepa Gurnani
