VERDICT: Lulus.com! I've been a customer of lulus.com for a while thanks to Teen Vogue, but their website's new fall looks are out of this world! Here's some of my faves. And the best part? They're cheap!
I can totes see myself making a Starbucks run in this one, guys. Esp. with some good jeans.
Jellyfish top in black-- $24. (also comes in Periwinkle)
Perfect for something with a vague wardrobe request. Not too dressy, not too casual. Looks great with some tall boots!
Cyclone Tunic by RVCA-- $70
Here I am, back to green again, guys. This top is so pretty! And it would look good with my grey Sparkle and Fade leggings, or jeans.
Keep A Secret Top in Olive-- $29 (also in Teal, Charcoal, and Plum)
This top was made for summer, but in a climate like Motown's, it will last into fall. The little strawberry print is whimsical and fun, but it's small enough to not be overpowering.
Favorite Button Up SHirt by O'Neill-- $50
Casual, but different. And I dig the pocket.
Gardening Day Top-- $27
This sweater is perfection! It's so cozy looking. It would look great thrown over leggings and a plain white tee.
Portola Sweater Wrap by Billabong-- $79
Hope you like these, kiddos. I'll be getting ready for fall. So you should too.

VERDICT: Nail Polish! Nothing says "fall" like manicures. Or maybe that's just me. Moving on... I already gave you a sneak peak at my pick for back to school. But here's some more autumn shades!
Essie is my #1 fave nail polish brand. And my absolute fave color, Material Girl, is discontinued. Alas, things are looking up! These hot shades will carry me into a cool fall looking Rachelous (exceptional readers know I'm talking about the season premiere of Glee!)
Who says corals can't be worn in fall?! I think Tart Deco could give a nice pop of color to the general browns, blacks, and grays I tend to wear through the dreary season.
This pretty purple, Main Squeeze*, is light and shimmery, but I'd pile on multiple coats for maximum pop. I'm not one for sheers. This shade is a little bit neutral and a lot interesting. It's not fungus purple, it's cupcake purple. And it works.
*This webpage also has a bunch of other great lavenders.
It wouldn't be a fall list without a real earth tone. Alligator Purse is red, but not classic. And it's got just enough orange to be optimistic even as temperatures lower. (or not, in the case of Motown.)
Pretty Edgy is a part of Essie's Summer Collection, but I think it has staying potential. But as I said in a past blog, I'm into greens that play up my coloring right now.
