I'm a Shopping Editor, and These Are the 13 Items I NEED as I Excitedly Wait For Fall

I have no doubt I'll wear these Taryn Rose Madisson Pointy Toe Mules ($160) constantly. The rich metallic leather can still act as a neutral — it goes with denim, prints, and many different fabrics. The block heel makes this design comfortable to walk in all day long.

There's something about Marc Jacobs Decadence Eau de Parfum ($74-$122) that makes me feel confident — I wear it for both day and night. Notes of Italian plum, golden saffron, and Bulgarian roses join forces with a woody finish that always gets me compliments. Plus, the bottle itself is so glamorous.

Dramatic outwear will be a huge trend next season, so consider a bold piece like this Alice + Olivia Angela Long Coat ($495). This rich hue and long hemline screams badass boss lady. Whether you're wearing it with a basic tee or a pretty blouse, it's going to get you endless compliments.

What I love about this Urban Outfitters Manicure Vase ($18) is that it does double-duty — it's a ring holder as well. Turn it around to see a pop of pretty raspberry nail polish.

During this transitional period of Summer to Fall, I like investing in pieces like this AFRM Cassian Wrap Dress ($118), It looks great with sandals for now, and equally stylish with booties later. Plus, the silhouette is pretty flattering.

When I want to polish off a Fall look, this Brahmin Mini Francine Ballington Bag ($395) is my top pick. The chic bag complete with a buckle-front detail is timeless yet statement-making. It comes in several other colorways as well.

A makeup artist recently used this Kat Von D Lock-It Concealer Crème ($26) on me and I immediately bought it the same day. The formula melts into my skin, yet it doesn't feel cakey. My makeup stayed perfectly intact through an all-day shoot with lots of hot lights. I also appreciate that is comes in a wide variety of shades.

Looking cute and comfy is a tricky balance, but this Free People Sunday Knit Set ($198) hits the nail on the head. This vibrant ensemble feels like a sweatsuit, but looks like a million bucks.

I may not be going back to school, but I do love organizing my life around this time of year. I'll be diving into Fall with this Rifle Paper Co 2019 Juliet Rose Spiral 17-Month Notebook ($35) in hand. Maybe I'll actually be on time to my next meeting!

I have no shame, I'm addicted to these Kitsch Velvet Scrunchies ($12). They add a playful touch to my ponytail, plus they prevent my hair from getting damaged. It's a win-win situation.

I'll wear this Reformation Amory Jumpsuit ($178) on its own now, but it will look cool with a turtleneck layered under it when the weather gets chilly. (I'm a sucker for anything with pockets.)

This Ban.do x Chasing Paper Serious Business Woman Art Print ($70) would be a cute addition to my desk at work. The site has many quirky prints that add a bit of fun to any space.

My addiction to statement jewelry is never-ending and these Loren Hope Avery Hoop Earrings ($238) are about to be my next investment. The bold colors and geometric design will elevate any look in need of some pizzazz.
