Suede Button Up Skirts for Fall

Button up A-line skirts are everywhere for this fall, and I'm loving the trend! I've seen them available in many different materials including corduroy, denim, and suede. I've been lusting over the Abigail Skirt by Reformation, which is currently sold out. Luckily lots of stores are picking up this trend, so this style of skirt is now available at a lot of different price points.

 Here is the Abigail skirt by Reformation, it retailed for $198. It's suede material and I love the scalloped detailing.

This skirt is available at Asos on sale for $29. It comes in brown and black, and is made of a faux suede material. It's got a scalloped hem, similar to the sold out reformation skirt.

I've had my eye on this genuine suede skirt from Forever 21, which is a steal at only $37.90.

Will you be picking up an A-line skirt for fall?

Rebecca Minkoff Julian Backpack.. Duped!

In just a few days I'll be heading to Outside Lands, a music festival in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. I spent weeks hunting for a backpack that was trendy but also functional. All summer I've had my eye on Rebecca Minkoff's Julian backpack, but I didn't want to risk trashing it at the festival. Luckily I found a dupe on Asos! check both out below:

ASOS, $57.33

SHOPBOP, $295

The ASOS bag has my favorite details from the Rebecca Minkoff, the dog clip and middle front zipper. I have a feeling I'll be getting a lot of use out of my dupe backpack.
