I love me some Fossil.
When I take a client shopping, I always get a look of ”for real?” when I tell them that we will be shopping for a few things at FOSSIL. SIDE NOTE: I typically don’t tell a client the stores we’ll be visiting until the moment of. If I told them the evening prior, even the afternoon of our shopping consult, that client would have checked out the site, read reviews about it, checked the twitter, the Facebook….you get the idea. The “new experience” element is gone.
I love that FOSSIL will always provide me with high quality pieces: great leather, cottons, etc; great design: sunglasses are edgy, blazers are cut well, etc., and; great price: much of the styling at FOSSIL is comparable to Anthropologie’s, sans sticker shock.
But I ramble.
Here is a sneak-peak to their Fall collection. I’ll let the images speak for themselves.

Tilly Dress, $68.00

Janet Blazer, $88.00

Hue Tights, $22.00

Stamp Kit, $30.00

I am in desperate need of a perfect black blazer/jacket. I just realized this morning. If you spot one in your shopping adventures, would you please send me a shout out?
When I received this message, I immediatley thought of the blazer below which I had just seen at a Shopping Field Trip (which reminds me, I should post on what a Shopping Field trip is) at New York & Co. I love the mix of “polish”, which a black blazer instantly creates and the “casualness” the rolled up sleeve creates. However, it’s the detail of the lining that you can see when rolled up that is the true winner of this blazer. Highly recommend this jacket (or similar) with denim or a bright colored skirt with some pretty flats or pewter flops.

Black Blazer, New York & Co., $69.99
