About 2 weeks ago I asked you guys to ask me anything – and some of you actually did! I’ll be sure to answer all questions (if not through post, then through individual email), but thought I’d start with the one above as it’s one I’ve gotten several times. So, what to invest in this fall?

1. Leopard Flats – Sure, these have been around for a long time, but leopard is a huge trend this fall and if you don’t own a pair of spotted flats yet, you really ought to think about it. Wear them whenever you’d wear a neutral to kick up an outfit without looking like a crazy cat-lady. I love Lanvin’s but they cost well over $500 more than Ann Taylor’s pair, which are also awesome (and look better in-store than they do online, btw).
2. Camel Outwear – Duh. Chloé, Celine, and everywhere else from H&M to Hermes. And no, camel isn’t only for old ladies–are you kidding me?!
3. Pointy-Toed Pumps – Stella McCartney and Valentino (his studded styles) were my favorites this season. And when you’re buying pointy-toed pumps/slingbacks/etc. I would suggest purchasing half a size up and inserting foot petals to keep your toes from crunching forward. Trust me on this: I own about 6 pairs of pretty pointy pumps and actually wear them.
4. Lady-like Satchels – I DIE for Louis Vuitton’s selection, but Kate Spade’s is much more wallet friendly and still offers plenty to dream about.
5. Capes – I bought one from Zara at the end of August for under $200 and they’ve since added more color-ways. Go. Buy. One. Now.
6. Shearling – If you happen to love shearling this is the season to invest in a good piece. Honestly, shearling styles have never looked as chic (and that’s mainly due to Christopher Bailey’s collection for Burberry).
