Fall Favorites

Fall is already completely in full swing, and I still can't decide how I feel about it.  Still in disbelief that summer just came and went so quickly, but there's just something about the Fall that gives me a nice feeling inside. I'm not quite ready to let go of summer just yet, so I decided to cheer myself up by making a list of things I really love about the Fall:

C. Wonder Hits Columbus Circle

Two weeks ago, The Shops at Columbus Circle proudly welcomed a new addition to their atmosphere with the grand opening of C. Wonder, the chic lifestyle brand by J. Christopher Burch.  The store is in rare form with only ten locations throughout the country as of now, making this one their second in New York City. {You can find their Flagship store in Soho between Spring St. and Crosby}.

The brand is very reminiscent of the Tory Burch style, making their main aesthetic "affordable glamour" for women with an eye for fashion.  And you certainly can't bypass the store without being lured in by their vibrant colors and exciting window displays.  The stores are beautifully merchandised with a variety of colorful products like clothing, jewelry, housewares, electronics, and other accessories, many of which can be monogrammed with your initials to add a personal touch.

After taking a few laps around the store and mentally noting everything that I want, I came up with my own list of the top 5 most fabulous items in the store:

1.  Pebbled Leather and Chain Double Wrap Bracelet - $58

2.  Small Ikat Cosmetics Pouch - $28

3.  City Bike in Fuschia - $249

4.  Enamel Initial Cuff - $48

5.  Large Nylon Easy Tote in Black - $78

So I recently took a walk into the Michael Kors store and stopped in my tracks. Nearly everything for their fall collection is to die for, and I'm not one to carry bags, {I have last year's Uptown Astor Shoulder Tote sitting in my closet untouched} but I'd definitely make the exception for one of these beauty's. This year I have my eye on the Hamilton. Although I've seen this bag worn by many people, it's a piece that I wouldn't mind getting because there's such a variety of colors and styles, that the chances of someone else having an identical one as yours is slim. It's such a classic bag that's timeless and versatile. The hardest decision to make though is choosing which one. So many options! Burnished leather or python embossed? Black with gold hardware or navy with silver? Woven finish or studded detail?! For now I can't decide.. but what I do know is that my birthday's coming up and this bag is certainly at the top of my wish list :)
