Fall is my favorite time of the year! The layers, the colors of changing leaves, pumpkin picking, cozy nights in chunky sweaters... I just love it all. Where Summer style is about effortless pairings and getting away with as few clothes as possible (at least here in the South), Autumn is all about the perfect mix of texture and color. This Fall, I'm bringing you my favorite eight trends of the season complete with shopping sources and styling tips for easy dressing. In the next few weeks you can look forward to seeing a whole lot of these Fall style essentials (click the link to shop the styles featured in this post):

Sporty Styles

Fun Sweaters

Leather Details

Embellished Collars

Leopard Accents

Metallic Shoes

Denim

& Camo Print

While I do have Fall styles on the brain, Labor Day is the perfect time to pick up a few last minute Summer items. Denim staples, summery prints and bright colors are all up for grabs this weekend! I'm hoping to score a few fun things to store away until the weather is warm again or to wear until the South catches up with the seasons.

Surprise, we spent the last few days exploring our new town in Alabama! I'm a type-A personality (I carry my simplified planner everywhere...) so I'm sure you can imagine how stressful it is for me to move somewhere we've never even visited. I've been begging for recommendations researching Huntsville since Mr. Jackson got his job offer but, after a week of sleepless nights, we decided that a road-trip was necessary to put my mind at ease.

This little trip has been so good for my soul! We toured a few amazing apartments, explored the cutest shopping/date-night center (which has a J Crew, my prayers have been answered) and got a feel for this new town of ours. I'm so recharged and excited to make a move! By the time this post goes live we'll be on the way home but I can't tell you how much I needed to see it for myself.

p.s. It's almost jacket weather! I'm so excited to add a few more layers to my everyday outfit. I've got my eye on some of these:
