Fall in Love with Fall

Lilly Pulitzer loves summer. It's obvious in her Palm Beach prints. This fall, however, looks so bright and preppy without her usual pastel pallet. In the featured look, the embroidered Novelty jean ($168) looks snappy paired with the Drew jacket ($225-285) and the Monroe vest ($128) overtop either the Brent button down shirt ($98) or the Frankie turtleneck ($65). I'm seeing at least seven variations with this outfit, making it very cost-effective for my fall wardrobe.
Lilly does great long sleeve polos made of wonderful stretch pima cotton for $65, but Ralph Lauren's cotton mesh version can be customized for a mere $10 more. You choose the polo color, the Pony or monogram emblem, and the embroidery color. It's so inventive and interactive. I'm such a sucker.
Finally, I would like to spend the rest of my life working/living in a Sephora store. I visit the website more often than my email. As if the company knew of my engagement, they are now offering gift registries for whatever occassion you could desire. I am registered as a bride in need of constant glowing. Sadly, no one has made any purchases. Perhaps that's why my skin is still stressed.
Remember that with every online Sephora order, you get to choose three free samples and complementary gift boxing/bagging.
A gift registry to celebrate the fall fashion arrivals in stores sounds perfectly warranted.
