These are the 3 “It” items that make up my Pre-Fall “must-buy” list

Pre-Fall weather in L.A. is always dry, mostly windy, and still a lot of sun, with big temperature differences from day to night. So here are the 3 items I always buy during the Pre-Fall Season:

1. An everyday carry-on tote bag.

The one I am wearing here is from Sandro, and I just purchased this Zara canvas tote bag — also perfect color and size to carry a water bottle and other everyday essentials together with an extra jacket (for early morning or late night layering).

J.Crew Knit Cardigan Sweater// Mango Pleated Skirt // Slingback Pumps // Sandro Tote Bag

2. Knit/Tweed Cardigan.

They are just such a comfortable fabric and design and can be dressed up and down. Here I am wearing this J.Crew tweed cardigan in an all buttoned up style and paired with a Zara cotton skirt. I like how this cardigan comes in a cropped style, and it actually helps to elongate my legs.

J.Crew Sweater Lady Jacket // Zara Cotton Skirt // Carolina Herrera Tote Bag // Raffia heeled Mules (no more available, similar here)

3. Mesh/braided ballet flats.

This kind of flats are so IN this summer of 2024, and I believe they will still be hot during the Fall season — at least I wish them to. They are just so comfortable and when you choose the right style, they actually help to elevate the look to an effortless yet classy level. Here I am wearing a pair by H&M, and am thinking to make an investment to these ALAIA Mesh Mary Jane.
