Celebrity Fall Shopping Lists

If you want to add just a few key pieces to your wardrobe this season, which ones should they be? Our favorite celebrities help us count down the top must haves for fall AND tell us where to get them. Check it out. 



#1 Thigh-high boots
These are easier to pull off than you think. You can vamp it up the way Fergie, Victoria Beckham, Kelly Bensimon and Shakira have by pairing them with a sexy dress. Or, you can dress them down with jeans. My pick are from DSW for $89.99.  Not a bad price considering Heidi spent nearly two thousand for hers!


#2 Animal prints
"Melrose Place" vixen, Katie Cassidy, is all about leopard this season. So are
 Kim Kardashian, Michelle Trachtenberg and Rachel Bilson. We tagged and Lily Allen in an adorable animal print sweater. I found a very similar looking cardigan for $44 at Kohl's.

#3 Cropped leather jackets
Super chic 90210 girl, Jessica Lowndes, confesses that a cropped leather jacket is number one on her shopping list.
 Ashlee Simpson loves a black, zipper-less style and Rachel Weisz recently wore a pink leather version with some serious shoulders. I love the brown bomber I found at Macy’s, priced nicely under fifty dollars. 

#4 Shiny blazers

Yes, the wool blazer is a fall classic. But how about adding a little shimmer? Whitney Port, designer and star of "The City", loves her own satin design. We spotted Gwyneth Paltrow in a shiny, white tuxedo cut and adorable Amanda Seyfried in navy. My gun-metal gray blazer from Forever 21 is a perfect day-to-night find for $28.80 

#5 Flirty, printed dresses
These are my personal pick. There are so many gorgeous patterns out there. Diane Kruger and Joy Bryant seem to prefer delicate florals. Olivia Wilde and Zoe Saldana look stunning in abstract black and white. I love the Bohemian, deep burgundy dress I found at American Rag for under $50. Just add tights and boots and it's a fall staple. 

So, do you agree with our list? What are your must haves for the season?

    My must have for fall that I've been wanting to shop for is a new coat. I'm not into to much leather, I kind of would like a coat that is about knee length and I'm loving London Fog new line of coats this year. I think $200 is a reasonable price for a new coat, also I want several scarve sets. Red is my go to color for fall, and black. My new coat and boots are going to be black. with matching scarves in black and also a nice crimson red...My Lipstick is also leaning on reds this season. The new sweaters I have for fall have studs on the sleeves and are light, not chunky. I was into the chunky look last year. The color is pink...Well take time to buy a new coat shop around. A coat is something that you will need to wear in all kinds of weather conditions. So, if it rains wool might not be the right type of material. Wear I live in CA it's cold but not freezing so it doesn't have to be a parka...Ha ha ha

    I love these! If you want anything like these HOT trends, but wish to also support the handcrafted movement, go to Etsy.com. Check out either authentic vintage, or even go to the custom section, and they can hand make anything you want to your exact measurements. Or use a simple search.

    Best of all, you will be supporting individual artisans, not big corporations!

    Wow... I wouldn't wear ANY of those so blatantly. I might wear some minimal animal print. I also agree with TwiggyMolly... etsy.com is a great place to find handcrafted items. So you can enjoy the "must-haves" and also make them unique too.

    That new actress Queena Isadora goes for the everday classic look wearing booties with boot cut jeans and a complimenting cashmere sweater. When she's glaming, she does another classic wearing bare shoulder cocktail dress or evening gown in velvet or silk. Very classy girl.

    Dresses? This is Fall, not Summer. Even here in California it is already too cold to wear dresses. I buy what I think looks good, not necessarily what is the current "trend". I really don't see why that matters anyway. Those prices listed above also don't seem cheap to me Then again, I'm a college student who has better things to do with her money than buy single clothing items for $40+ :P

    My fall must have is a J. Crew wool/cashmere blend coat,something with a twist on the classy.I saw one at Macys which was reasonale prices,I also fell in love with these awesome boots from Dillards which are $300 and not they are not thigh high but really good quality.Another fave thing of mine which I am obsessed with now are the the riding inspired boots from RL,Carlos Santana and Michael Kors to name a few of the brands.Jc Penny has them on sale and yes people they are sort of expensive if you want the real deal as in real leather so I am opting for JcPenny's boots for under $100(on sale) or some from Aldo and then buying another pair of the really nice ones from Macy's or even stores such as Saks's Fifth Avenue,Neiman Marcus,Bloomingdale's or Nordstrom because sometimes the online sales are way better then the mall ones and yes you pay more for the things but guess what they are way better quality.Also the long belted sweater is an awesome investment but make sure that you pay something reasonable.

    I do not understand why the style shown here is so hideous!I mean seriously don't people want to reuse some of the clothes they wear or shoes not say that they are out of style.As for the cheap prices well they are okay but I would rather spend more and get something of better quality.I hate the thigh high boots b/c they look like hooker boots not something you want to wear to work if you are working in a museum or an 8-5 job.People should think of buying something that is useful and that could be used next season such as coats,boots,etc yet in styles or patterns that will go with every outfit yet look chic.You do not need to spend a lot of money to look chic especially as I,a graduating student, have learned yet instead of taking their advice I will use the blazer as my only inspiration to update my wardrobe and ignore the rest because they do not benefit me and the style will change in a matter of months.
