If you too are ready to start loading up on those fall must-have items, here’s the items that made my lineup:
Single breasted blazer // Striped long sleeve tee
I am so happy that blazers are here to stay. I don’t think there’s anything more sharp for layering in these cooler months than a blazer that makes a statement. This red single breasted blazer is the perfect example of class and fun weaved into one. Whether you’re headed into the office or a night out on the town, a quality blazer that will last for years is always a good investment to make [and this one for under $80 is a guilt-free purchase]!
Striped long sleeve tee [size up one, wearing in US 2 but need US 4] // High Waist Super Skinny Jeggings // Block Heel Chelsea Ankle Boots
I couldn’t survive without these tees. Under $15 and the easiest thing to throw on with any jacket, vest or to wear alone. When I think of fall, I always think of striped long sleeve tees as they are my most worn basic all season long. Getting one [or four] that feel great is a must. It should be noted that their pieces do run on the small side, I would recommend sizing up from your regular US size.
High Waist Super Skinny Jeggings // Block Heel Chelsea Ankle Boots
As we know, denim rules all when it comes to fall. Whether you’re tailgating, venturing to your local pumpkin patch, wine tasting with the girlfriends or whatever it may be, comfort is king. I’m a huge jeggings fan as jeggings = leggings but in denim material. Basically it’s a free pass to wearing pajamas. I bought these High Waist Super Skinny Jeggings and while I may have ordered a size too small [blaming you mac and cheese] I know that in my correct size they will be magical as their comfort level is off the charts. It should be noted that their pieces do run on the small side, I would recommend sizing up from your regular US size.
4. Booties that were made for walkin’
Block Heel Chelsea Ankle Boots
Give me all the boots and booties, am I right? I ventured out of my comfort zone [all things brown/tan] and went with these under $50 booties in navy for a twist of something different. Super comfortable and stinkin’ cute. Oh, Marks & Spencer I am going to be in so much trouble with you.

Last but certainly not least, at number 5 for my list of fall must-haves is a great tote bag that can support all of your layering habits. I love having a bag that is big enough to carry my jackets or sweaters as temps start to creep up during the day. I found this tote for under $30 [it comes in some of the most delicious fall colors] and know that it will come in all sorts of handy during the next couple of months.
Fall, your presence is now welcome. Remember to check out Marks & Spencer for your new favorite wardrobe essentials. Their new arrivals have me all sorts of heart eyes….

Founder and creator of LIY, Erin turned her dream of a hobby blog into a full-time career which she now runs alongside the LIY team! When not in front of her computer screen [with a La Croix or wine in hand] or in front of a mirror taking mirror selfies, you can find Erin spending time on the water, cuddled up with her two pups and husband most likely watching the latest Shark Tank episode, or getting lost in an easy beach read.
Totally love this post — helpful to see examples from this brand, and just use as outfit as a guide to creating any pulled together fall look!

I so agree, fall fashion is the absolute best fashion! Layer it up! I’m so excited about Marks & Spencer!! Like I read about them in pretty much every single British novel that I’ve ever read and I felt like I was missing out. No more! I had no idea that they shipped to the US. Can’t wait to get to shopping! Thanks, Erin!
Already in love with this brand! Ordered a bralette and it arrived from England in two days! I have been looking for a DD+ bralette for a while now. The fit is amazing. I don’t know how it is so supportive, but it is and looks amazing. And for less than 20.00!! This will be a new addiction!
Love the tote bag. I went to the site and ordered in tan and black.
Thanks for all the info you provide. I’m fairly new to getting your newsletter and I’m thrilled.
Love seeing living in yellow in my emails.
I would like a cute pair of booties to wear with crop Jean’s or dress pants that will go with anything with a bit of a heel not to short or tall if that makes since.
