A Touch of Southern Grace

Neutral sweaters are such a wardrobe staple for me. I am constantly cold, so a versatile sweater I can pair with dress/skirt/pants is a total win for me.

Two// Juliska Puro Tortoiseshell Vase

I gave this vase to my mom a few years ago as one of her Christmas presents, and it has become one of her most used vases. Beautiful in the pictures, but even more beautiful in person.

Three// J. Crew Barn Jacket in Plaid Double-Faced Cotton

Barn jackets seem to be everywhere this season, and I am 100% here for it. I am in love with this J. Crew barn jacket… fall plaid, gold buttons, brown details. Complete fall perfection. 

Four// Sezane Othello Cardigan

All it takes is the purchase of one Sezane sweater to start a complete Sezane cardigan obsession – consider yourself warned… I really love the effortlessly classic styles they offer. They are just the perfect addition to every outfit

Five// Sezane Crossbody & Shoulder Bag

Rich browns have a hold on my heart this fall season and seem to be absolutely everywhere! I feel like this crossbody looks so elevated, but at a reasonable price point. 

Six// YSL Vanity Bag in Raffia Wicker

Over the summer raffia Wicker seemed to have a hold on everybody. I feel like this is a lifetime piece. It is just so interest and has such a personality. If you take care of her, I feel like this is definitely a lifetime seasonal bag. 

Seven// Polo Ralph Lauren Quilted Barn Jacket

Ralph Lauren is one of my favorite designers, his classic taste and ability to stay relevant is really something to be admired. If you are looking for a barn jacket that is a bit more tailored, then this piece is for you. 

Eight// Veronica Beard Alexie Suede Midi Skirt

One of the first “adult” skirts I had was a red Suede Midi Skirt that I had to have for a middle school Christmas performance. I thought it was the most fashionable and sophisticated thing I had ever worn. A couple decades later, I still think suede skirts are oh so sophisticated, and this is really, really beautiful!

Nine// Dolce Vita Alizza Suede Ballet Flats 

Can one ever have too many ballet flats? I believe the answer would obviously be no… I love the fun strap detail with the gold buckle as kind of a fun twist on a timeless classic. Really love Dolce Vita flats – reasonable price point, great styles, and in my experience the ballet flats have been amazingly comfortable.

Ten// Ralph Lauren Cotton Utility Jacket 

This jacket is just the picture of fall. This utility jacket is another great classic Ralph Lauren piece that is made to be loved for years to come.

Eleven// Tory Burch Romy Suede Tote

This is such a great casual, everyday bag for the fall and winter. I love how roomy this bag is and how the material is the perfect amount of slouchy without being too much. 

Twelve// Ferragamo Tote Bag

Love the closer feature on this bag. Such a great investment piece

Thirteen// Lilly Pulitzer Teddy Boucle Shift Dress

This dress is even better in person. I love how it isn’t your traditional Lilly dress. The unexpected arrival of tweed in a tropical (store) climate just really stood out from the rest, in only the very best way.

Fourteen// Williams-Sonoma Quick Bread Mix Spiced Peacan Pumpkin

Williams-Sonoma is my favorite store this time of year; I will even stop in just to decompress. This is one of my most favorite holiday food items of theirs – try it, you all will love it!

Fifteen// Elemis Pro- Collagen Cleansing Balm

I am about anything that could possibly be anti-aging or make skin look more youthful, Such a great product!

Sixteen// Bistro Tile Stoneware Candy Bowl Halloween Edition

I am not a Halloween décor specific person at all, but the bistro style of this bowl just makes me go weak at the knees. 

Seventeen// Le Jean Zoe Gigi High Rise Skinny Flare

I really love the fact that any style of jean is in right now. I honestly really hope this stays a thing… at the end of the day it’s fun to change things up and some styles are just more flattering than others. If you are on the hunt for a flare pair of jeans, then these are a pair you need to check out!

Eighteen// Peter Thomas Roth Instant Eye Easy

I haven’t tried this product yet, but I have heard the best review about this eye cream. It is a temporary fix, but if you are little tired this product will give you a refresh.

Nineteen// Sarah Flint Natalie Flat

This flat is one of the best wardrobe investments you can make. I love how this shoe can be dressed up or down, and they wear so incredibly well; I have some Sarah Flint shoes that are over five years, and they still look like new. The new colorway is so beautiful. Use code: SARAHFLINT-LAUREN-15 for 15% off your first Sarah Flint purchase.

Twenty// Lake Pajamas Long-Long Set

Lake Pajamas are a favorite of mine – the Pima cotton takes the sleeping experience to the next level and the have some of the prettiest colors and prints.

If you loved ballet when you were little, I am convinced that you still love the magic that is ballet when you’re older. Tiler Peck is such an iconic person in the ballet world right now.

Two// Nostalgic Millennial Movie Sequels and Reboots

I really love how there are so many millennial classic sequels being made. I am especially excited for the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada! 

Three// Sarah Flint Natalie of Venus

Every year Sarah Flint comes out with a limited-edition pair of Natalie flats inspired by a famous piece of art. This year’s pair is inspired by Botticelli’s iconic Renaissance masterpiece. Use code SARAHFLINT-LAUREN-15 for 15% off your first pair of Sarah Flint shoes 

Four// NY Times Best Fall Recipes

Fall and Winter food over summer dishes, every time for me. The New York Times has compiled a list of their best fall dishes and some of these just look beyond amazing!

Five// Petite Plume Holiday Collection

I know I am jumping the gun on the holiday season, but honestly, this time of year brings me so much happiness, so I don’t really care. I’ve already started listening to Christmas Music. Petite Plume’s holiday collection could not be any perfect. Love their classic plaids, stripes, and holiday prints

I have had my eye on the Varley skorts for so long. I love how they all seem to have that classic look but with a classic twist. Really love these for around town or for their actual intended purpose

Two// Bottega Veneta Andiamo Bag

This is going to be such an unpopular opinion, but I am not a huge fan of Bottega bags… I still think they are beautiful bags, but they usually don’t appeal to my personal aesthetic. However, the color of this particular bag is just so deep, rich, and beautiful, I feel like it would be an annual fall staple for anyone

Three// Reformation Brooklyn Polo Sweater 

I am completely smitten with the slouchy, slightly oversized polo sweaters. This is hands down my favorite I have seen so far this season. 

Four// Williams Sonoma Cinnamon Apple Butter

Williams- Sonoma is one of my happy places. I love wondering around their stores and looking at their cookware, bakeware, glasses, dishes, cookbooks, and everything in between. Then always level up for me when the September hits and they start rolling out all the holiday and season treats. I spend like nine months just looking forward to the release of the pumpkin and apple butter release. 

Five// Marea Louisa Skirt

I am in love with this skirt. It is such a great transitional piece and the color and pattern is beautiful. 

Six// Stanley Quencher 

Can you ever have too many water bottles. I really like the flip straw feature on this one and the shade of pink. 

Seven// Barbour Luella Waxed Jacket

Barbour has the market on waxed jackets. They are such classic pieces that will last you basically a lifetime. Really like how this one is a little bit more detailed than normal with the contrasting pockets and the plaid cuff details

Eight// Loeffler Randall Noelle Ballet Flat

Gold ballet flats, need I say more… 

Nine// Vineyard Vines Wool Blend Fair Isle Sweater 

I love a fair isle sweater. They are just so classically festive and have such a nostalgic vibe to them. I really like the colors that are used in this one. In full honestly, I usually like these types of sweaters a bit more oversized and boxier so I can wear them with either pants or a sweater, but I’m here for the color with this one.

Ten// RD Style Bea Houndstooth Quilted Barn Jacket 

Barn Jackets are having such a moment this year, and I am so hear for it. I really love the houndstooth one, and this one is really beautiful and under $180

Eleven// Hermes Terre d’ Hermes Pure Perfume 3-Piece Gift Set

Full confession, I feel in love with the packaging and didn’t realize this is a gift set for men until I was putting together my weekend shopping series. I decided to include it anyways because the packaging is so beautiful and men are soooo hard to shop for and this really would make such a great gift.

Twelve// Hill House Home The Cosima Nap Dress

I have the short version of this dress in the seersucker gingham print from the summer and it is such a flatter style. I love the new rust stripe for fall; it would be perfect as is for right now and beautiful with a sweater over it when the temperatures start to drop. I went up one size from the size I wear in the Ellie – I felt like the smocking looked nicer in the size up for this particular style

Thirteen// Halloween Icon Juice Glasses

Anthropologie has the cutest fall and holiday home décor pieces. These juice glasses would be so fun to go with your fall breakfast, especially if you have children old enough where cups being glass wouldn’t be an issue

Fourteen// UGG Tasma Slipper 

Does anyone else remember the 90s clog that I had the same trim as these? I was in elementary school at the time, so obviously, I don’t remember the brand, but it seemed like everyone had a pair. I really love the fact that some of the classics of the 90s are currently influencing fashion today.

Fifteen// Ferragamo Animal Print Mini Bandeau

I really love bandeau right now and how many ways they can be used – wrapped around the handle of a handbag, worn as a hair accessory, tied around your neck, and even wrapped around one’s wrist as a bracelet. The print on this one is stunning!

Sixteen// Merit Beauty Flush Balm 

Merit Beauty products definitely live up to the hype. I have their beauty balm in a different shade and it has lasted me almost a year and the seamless, natural look it creates is really beautiful. 

Seventeen// Ralph Lauren Metallic Rope Anchor 

The classic belt trend has a hold on my heart right now. It is such a flattering look to belt a dress or have a classic fall look of jeans and a tucked in shirt complete with a belt. 

Antiques & Garden Show

This is probably a Nashville specific thing… However, I am so ecstatic that David Lauren and Lauren Bush Lauren are going to be the keynote speaker at the Antiques and Garden show, January 9, 2026!!!

Two// LAKE Pajamas Madeline Sweater 

I have this exact sweater in the Driftwood colorway, but the new English Navy Banker Stripe sings to my heart. I also really appreciate that LAKE made this sweater the perfect length to wear with either jeans or leggings.

Three//Addison Bay Fall Collection

I am so obsessed with all things fall at the moment. The summer season always seems to be soooo hot now a days, and the thought of a crisp morning air and the crunch of leaves under my feet just makes my heart feel lighter. This new collection is really very beautiful and so perfect for fall! 

Four// Inside Jenna Ortega’s Bag

I feel like Jenna Ortega is having such a moment right now and people have absolutely gone crazy for her as Wednesday Adams. I have to say, her dance scene was just iconic. I really love watching the ‘what’s in my bag’ type videos and this one is a really good watch

Five// White Lotus Season 4

I was such a late comer to the White Lotus Party, but now I am completely obsessed. I mean, could Parker Posey have been any more perfect in the last season… their casting is always so spot on! I am so excited for the new season and the fact that it is set in France!
