Mansur Gavriel Handbags.

My love for Mansur Gavriel handbags started long before I even knew who created them. I remember seeing a street style image shot by my favorite Tommy Tom of a French Editor wearing it outside a show last year. I fell head-over heels for that black bucket bag and knew I had to have it. Unfortunately, at the time I had no idea who made them or where to buy it. Life went on, and I stumbled upon it again via a fashion blogger that I admire months later. I finally found out the name and tried to buy my own - sadly, at this point there was a waiting list and limited supply so I put my name down, per-ordered and received my giant box almost six months later.

To be a hundred percent honest, I've never gone to such trouble to get anything but the wait was so worth it. I'm hoping I can get the another bag when they are back in stock because they are made with such a beautiful Italian leather and will distress gracefully. Nothing flashy about them and super minimal which, I absolutely adore. The colors are great too. I got mine in black with a deep navy interior.

The light pink backpack is so cute, I've thought about getting it or the tote in a dark brown leather but for now I'm thoroughly enjoying my mini bucket bag.

Zara AW. 14

Of course Zara slowly is rolling out another great collection of amazing pieces for Autumn/Winter. I've been a fan of Zara even before they were available in the United States and although the prices have gone up a bit, most their items are still very well made and still affordable enough to get a couple pieces every season. Just got my Zara box delivered today and I'm craving cooler days and nights to be able to wear them.

This oversized sweater is amazing. Céline made a sweater in cashmere in a light beige like this and I fell in love with it. Granted - it was over $2,000 dollars so I had to go the more economical route, obviously. But, this one is great. Not too oversized and a really nice tan color. I can't wait to wear it.

I was looking at the Nude Collection on Zara.com and really fell for this coat. Very minimal and clean lines and the lightest color tan. It's really beautiful and fits well. I'm into oversized lately mostly cause I like to wear a lot of skinny pants and trousers so it's a nice balancing act. I went with the XS and I'm between a 0-2 so it fits great. Perfect addition to my Fall wardrobe.

+ Coat

All the new pieces aren't out yet online and I'll probably order a couple more items when they do but for now, I'll just turn the air-conditioning up and wear my sweater and coat around the house - haha, kidding.
