The Pop Five

I tend to get in fashion ruts. Anything denim, black, and striped appear to be my go-to styles, mostly. Well, since September is all about endless inspiration with Vogue’s legendary thick issue and the start of New York Fashion Week yesterday, this week’s installment of the Pop Five includes fashionable finds.

Here’s to wearing something unexpected this weekend!

I love a good U.K. import and my friend, Mara, clued me in that Bloomingdale’s is having an invasion at the moment with select exclusives on British designers. I’m obsessed with this Karen Millen dress. (And plaid is so on trend!)

I love the adorable blog, Pirouette. Its covers kiddo fashion, travel, and family. Isn’t this crochet camera so sweet?

Maybe it’s my Midwestern roots, but for me one of the best parts about autumn is the sweater selection. I adore ones from Pure Collection, which contain every color and style imaginable to flatter anyone.

Fashion often begins with accessories and handbags, and stylists from here to here preach investing in the good stuff. Check out Bella Bag. The luxury shop is owned by Cassandra Connors, who sources authentic vintage, designer handbags and sells them both in her showroom (in Atlanta) and online.

One of the most recognizable names in the realm of fashion blogging is Garance Doré and while her site is gorgeous, I love her whimsical illustrations even more.
