It's inevitable that I'm most inclined to shop at the start of a new season. There's just so much new stuff, and it's likely that I just cleaned out my drawers and closet for a fresh start going into the changing season. So it's time to replenish. And I don't mean just fashion items—my beauty-product collection is also getting an overhaul for fall, so I'm sharing those items on my wish list as well.
The only sad thing about this roundup is that I can't have everything on my list of wants, but at least I'm not selfishly keeping it to myself. Below, you'll find my fall dream bag, a stunning face palette I just added to my collection, a Zara maxi skirt I just tried on (and think everyone should order), and much, much more. Enjoy, and have a very happy (and stylish) fall. I hope this list of new items to try makes it even just a little bit happier.
New Beauty Products
Hourglass
Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Face Palette
This is not your average palette in which you only use half of the shades—each one is gorgeous, wearable, and complementary. There's something for every need, from blurring powder to highlighter to blush to bronzer. I have the Elephant palette, but there are two others that are equally perfect.
Merit Beauty
The Minimalist
I've been a huge fan of this stick since its initial release, and my love for it only grows, as Merit just nearly doubled the amount of product. I use it almost every day, and it's ideal for travel.
Face Gym
Brightening Active Roller With Vitamin C
Micro-needling has always kind of freaked me out, but these new at-home rollers are anything but scary. The tiny micro-needles dissolve into your skin, and after you've rolled it over your face for about 10 minutes, it'll look like you just got an hour-long skin-brightening facial.
Lawless
Hold Up Soft Set Creamy Eyebrow Wax
I love the look of fluffy, well-groomed brows in the fall, and this new Lawless product is providing me with just that. I'm not surprised in the least that the Sephora reviews are already very enthusiastic.
Mutha
Power Exfoliating Serum
Mutha just launched an exfoliating serum, and "Power" isn't an overstatement. The morning after using it, my skin truly looks brighter, and I've noticed that some of my fine lines are becoming, well, less noticeable.
Chantecaille
Prairie Smoke Lip Chic Lipstick
I always find Chantecaille products to be worth the money, and the same is true with this new lip launch. The brand released four new shades of its sheer, balmy Lip Chic, and all are spectacular, but I'm partial to this smoky rose shade. Plus, the tube couldn't possibly be any chicer.
J.Hannah
Gamay (Glacé Tint)
Wine-stained nails are something I just realized my fall aesthetic has been missing. I'm surprised this unique polish isn't sold out yet—grab it while you can.
Sunnies Face
Fluffmatte The Pinks
Sunnies Face just released a pink collection of its wildly popular matte lipsticks, and someone please tell me how I'm supposed to choose.
Augustinus Bader
The Eyebrow & Lash Enhancing Serum
When I saw that Augustinus Bader made a lash-and-brow serum, I ordered it immediately. It's pricey, but its products are always worth it, so my hopes are high.
Ourself
Lip Filler
Another brand-new launch on Violet Grey, this lip filler in a tube sounds very promising, and it's next on my list to order. Unlike lip plumpers, it delivers long-term results.
Prada
Paradoxe Eau de Parfum 1oz.
This new Prada perfume is raking in glowing reviews, and the bottle is very appealing to this Prada-triangle-logo lover.
I've been on the hunt for a new pressed powder for what feels like ages. Westman Atelier never disappoints, so I'm very tempted to splurge on this new one.
Eighth Day
Resurfacing Tonic
If you haven't tried Eighth Day yet, trust me—its products deliver. This newly released Resurfacing Tonic promises brighter, smoother skin. I believe it.
New Fashion Items
Prada
Small Brushed Leather Prada Supernova Handbag
Prada's new It bag has yet to leave my thoughts since I first saw it. This is a timeless style that you can be confident about if you're ready to make such an investment.
Zara
Satin Effect Long Skirt
I recently tried this new Zara maxi skirt, and I'm tempted to order it in every color—it's that perfect.
Dorsey
Marguerite, Lab-Grown White Sapphire Collar Necklace
Dorsey, the brand making tennis necklaces a little more accessible, just released this jaw-dropping necklace, and I'm in love.
Totême
Alpaca Wool-Blend Sweater
This Totême sweater (which is the one I'm wearing in the intro photo) is so fluffy and oversize but not heavy and itchy. It's basically perfect. I plan on wearing it in place of a jacket on fall days that are chilly enough to allow it.
& Other Stories
Buttoned Tweed Jacket
The French-girl effect is strong with this piece.
Reformation
Montauk Pleated High Rise Corduroy Pants
Something tells me that these new Reformation pants aren't going to be in stock for long.
Lisa Says Gah
Quinn Midi Skirt in Vintage Indigo
If you buy one skirt this fall, make it a long denim one. (Actually, I'd buy two—this and the Zara one I raved about above.)
Mango
Worn Effect Leather Blazer
Everyone on our team is understandably obsessing over this new Mango blazer.
Frankie Shop
Athina Striped Cropped Turtleneck Sweater
I plan on wearing this new cropped sweater with my many high-waisted bottoms.
COS
Relaxed-Fit Cropped Wool-Blend Jumper
This pretty pullover is next up on my sweater-shopping list.
American Made Store
Scrunch Knee High Extra Long and Heavy Socks
For styling with ballet flats à la Miu Miu.
Miu Miu
Logo Band Ballet Flats
Speaking of Miu Miu, the maker of this season's It shoes.
Loewe
Wool-Mohair Logo Patch Scarf
This will punch up any outfit it adorns.
Le Specs
Outta Trash 53mm Oval Sunglasses
These new Le Specs are fun and trendy.
J.Crew
Odette Sweater Lady Jacket
Styling this without anything underneath is quite fun.
Jeffrey Campbell
Geist Square Toe Boots
I can't get over how perfect and reasonably priced these are.
Levi's
Baggy Dad Jeans
These just-released Levi's Baggy Dad Jeans are selling out across the internet, but you're in luck.
