The Fall Five


 

The five things you need to keep you going this season.

 

With September right around the corner, it’s definitely time to consider the ‘it’ pieces we need in our wardrobe right now; to ace the fall sartorial report card. With so many trends and so many new collections it sometimes becomes overwhelming to spot the season’s essentials (after all, no matter how much we want to, we can’t buy everything). That’s why, we came up with our ‘Fall Five’; the five things you need to keep you going this season. Discover the five essentials currently topping our seasonal wish list.

 


1) The Backpack

Nothing speaks fashion and functionality like the good ol’ backpack. Stand out in the crowd by ditching dull fall colours and going for this Fendi mini flower appliqué backpack. Whether on your way to class, or hunting for cute locations for your Instagram photos, this little baby will help you carry around pieces of spring into the fall.

2) Statement Sneakers

A city girl sure knows the importance of a good pair of sneakers during fall. For those sneaker-lovers out there (like me), or for anyone looking for a remedy for the back ache those high heeled boots caused; this Azzedine Alaia laser-cut leather sneaker is your answer.

3) A Leather Jacket

A good leather jacket is the botox for your fall outfit; it will give it an instant lift. My pick is this Mock Black jacket from Acne Studios. Get ready to take embrace street style superstar status when you have this beauty on.

4) The Replenshing Face Mask

If you have spent long enough researching skincare on the internet, rigorously reading up beauty blogs and columns alike, you probably know by now that no one does skincare like the Koreans. The product that made to my fall wish list is the Shangpree Charcoal Hydrogel Mask. Apart from the fact that these sheet-masks are quiet the rage right now (and make for a great snapchat story), they also deep cleanse your pores like no other. It’s a great way of dipping your foot into the ocean of Korean Beauty and Skincare industry.

5) Everyday Arm Candy

Since it isn’t holiday season yet, and going all out bling would look a little obnoxious, go for this dainty Carbon & Hyde evil eye bracelet. It’s a great piece to add to your everyday arm candy, for taking that insta-worthy #wristcandygoals photo.
