The Perfect Fall Inspired Bootie

Last fall when the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale catolog came out I drooled over a pair of L.K. Bennett Plum Colored Suede Booties- "Doris Bootie" they were the perfect heel height- just high enough for a fancy night out but not so much that you couldn't pull it off in a "casual"  heel scenario...maybe only in my book! :)  Regardless, I loved them, they were on sale and when I popped into my local Nordie's & there was only one size 37 left- in my closet they went!

I found myself being so careful with them it was almost not worth having. 

So I have decided to wear them with as many outfits this fall as I have convinced myself they would go with when I purchased. 

Here is one look I recently wore to a baby shower and loved wearing these beauties!

 Here are a few similar styles I love!

Ralph Lauren Cape Perfection

As I mentioned in my weekend recap I went shopping on Saturday with my Grandmother. She spotted this amazing Ralph Lauren Cape so I tried it on. I got mine at Lord & Taylor which is not showing online - so I've included the Nordstrom link.


















I was hesitant because being on the shorter side I was worried I could not pull off the cape look. Many I have tried on overwhelm me hanging close to if not below my knees. This cape however was absolutely perfect!

It is definitely over sized but in an obvious and intentional way. I paired this with a plain black long sleeved shirt - this one is actually from Old Navy (on sale for $9.00!) and my favorite jeans. For a more nighttime look I wore my favorite black patent leather pumps from L.K. Bennett!
