    All the Fall Zara Items in My Cart Right Now

    If I could only shop at one clothing store for the rest of my life, it would be Zara. No other store matches how well they manage to do trends every season, and absolutely no one does it so affordably. If you enter Zara, you’re going to find pieces that are unique, fun, and on-trend, guaranteed.Zara goes all-out for fall every year, and 2020 is no exception. Many of this year’s trends can be worn just as easily at home (like polo and button-up sweaters), and all the others are so beautiful you just can’t pass them up. From affordable leather bags to knitted pants (you heard that right,) these are the things that are in my cart for fall 2020 from Zara.

    The Best Boots of Fall 2020

    Beyond pumpkin-scented candles and big, cozy scarves, the most defining part of fall is perhaps the shoes that come with it—specifically, the boots.Every year, swapping out sandals and flip flops for the boots that have been sitting in storage for the better half of the year is almost as exciting as that first day where the temps drop and give us a glimmer of fall. There’s no footwear as exciting or versatile as a boot—the rich tones, ability to elevate an outfit, and overall aesthetic of them simply can’t be beat. And the best part? They can last you for years and years.
    In 2020’s fashion, fall will probably disappoint us in some ways, but the boots that have come with it definitely will not. These are—hands down—the best boots of the year:

    These Amazon Organizational Solutions Will Make Your Life Easier

    Peanut butter and jelly. Wine and cheese. Gin and tonic. Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas. Me and… clutter.Some things in life just go together. Unfortunately for me, Joe Jonas just isn’t who most would associate me with. A fresh mess five minutes after cleaning, however? I think most of my friends and family would wholeheartedly agree that clutter and I get along quite nicely. No matter how hard I try to be a clean, organized person, disarray always finds me. So much so that I now consider being a tad bit messy as a personality trait. There are worse things, right?
    In my relentless pursuit to change who I am at my very core, I’ve been seeking some affordable organizational solutions that might make tidying up more intuitive. Because if there’s one thing I’m better at than accumulating clutter, it’s scrolling for hours on Amazon and clicking “add to cart” at an alarming rate. If you, too, are in the market to tidy up your home, check out these 50 Amazon organizational finds that just make sense:

    The 10 Shoes Every Woman Should Have in Her Closet

    What makes or breaks a look quicker than a killer pair of shoes? They’re the queen of accessories, the cherry on top of every outfit—and sometimes, they can be just as important as your outfit itself.Shoes are the ultimate investment—if you do it right, you can wear them for years and years to come. You don’t need a million options; you really just need a few that you can wear with a wide variety of outfits. If you skip out on fast fashion and trendy pairs, you can instead choose timeless options that you know you’ll be just as excited to wear when you pull them out of storage next fall, too.
    Build your ultimate shoe capsule wardrobe with these 10 shoes, and you’ll never feel like you need another pair.

    A classic white sneaker has the ability to make any outfit look cool, polished, and effortless. We’ve already talked about how you can wear them with just about anything, and they’re appropriate for any season. Once you get a pair you love, it’ll be hard to put any other shoe on.

    Having a perfect LBB in your arsenal is as important as a good LBD. They can—quite literally—be paired with anything, from jeans and a T-shirt to a business-casual outfit for work. Opt for an ankle-high pair in the heel height you’re most comfortable in.

    The loafer came onto the scene a few years ago and now has us wondering how we ever lived without them. They immediately make an outfit look more sophisticated and put-together, and since they’re completely flat, are a chicer alternative to a ballet flat. If you’re a loafer newbie, a classic black pair is your best bet; if your closet is already stocked with loafers, get a pair in a fun color or print to spice up your basics.

    There’s nothing better than having a chic slide sandal that you can slip on any time the weather’s warm without giving much thought to it. They’re the upgraded, adult version of your Old Navy flip flops.

    Over-the-knee boots go in and out of style as the seasons come and go, but a boot style that’s always a good choice? One that hits just beneath your knee. They can be paired with anything from your favorite Spanx leather leggings to a short skirt, and always add more to an outfit than any short boot could. Opting for a pair in either leather or suede will ensure that they’re timeless enough to be worn year in and year out.

    There’s nothing worse than having an interview or wedding coming up and needing to run out the night before because you don’t have heels to pair with your outfit (just me?). Having a pair of heels (that you can walk in) in a neutral color that you can wear to any and all heel-worthy events is a rite of passage as a woman, and it’s better to get one pair you really love than a poor-quality pair you have to keep replacing (I speak from experience).

    Sometimes you’re getting ready in the morning, and after you throw on all your go-tos, you wish you had a little something extra to spice it up with—and that’s where a statement bootie comes in. They’re as effortless to throw on as your black options, but they take your looks from “I threw this on” to “I strategized this the night before.”

    A good pair of strappy sandals is arguably the most versatile form of warm-weather footwear—you can wear them with anything from denim shorts and a T-shirt to with a dress to a wedding. They’re wearable, versatile, and will add a little “oomph” whenever you need it.

    Even with a great pair of nude heels on your shoe rack, you’re likely to have events pop up here and there where you want a heel that gives you a little something extra—even if you aren’t a heel girl. For events where you’re wearing something neutral and don’t want to look like you’re heading for a meeting, a pair of statement heels is the solution.

    For errands and dog walking and weekends where you don’t change out of a sweatshirt and leggings, a pair of sporty, casual sneakers is your best friend. Luckily for us, they’re no longer hard on the eyes like they were in our middle school days; sportier sneakers are as in as the other nine shoes on this list. Colorful, neutral, patterned—pick whatever makes your heart sing. More
