My last shopping trip was one where I stocked up on a lot of basics. Basic seems to get a bad rep these days but these pieces are some of my faves to purchase and it is amazing how important they really can be in a wardrobe. 

what's nice about it? 

The Jeans

Both pairs of jeans are a must try. They are comfortable, great fits anda great price point for their high quality.

The Bags

I needed to add a couple new mid-size neutral bags to my collection and lets be honest can you really ever have too many? I loved the structure of the Kate Spade and it is luxurious but not over complicated. The Michael Kors bag was a great deal and I loved the uncommon pairing of the silver hardware with the cashew coloured leather. 

The Dress

This dress is actually the second in my collection (I bought it in Grey last year) and it is a must have for your fall wardrobe and beyond. It can be dressed up or down and the outfit creation possibilities are endless it looks great paired with everything. 

The Shirt

A basic white tee with a twist... LITERALLY, I love that this shirt can be paired with jeans, leggings, skirts and instantly elevate any look. 

The Shoes

Both the mules and booties had hardware I just could not get enough of. Comfortable, lightweight and extremely fashion forward - I would highly recommend checking them out. 

The Ring

A little bit of shine to add to my collection and my fingertips. Nadri has quickly become one of my favorite jewelry brands.
