Shopping List: Fall Must-Haves

Aug 24, 2012 at 5:50am by Lauren Conrad


It's "back-to-school" season, which means we need to start thinking about stocking up on fall-friendly fashions. As lazy summer days come to an end and studious new beginnings await, now is the time to transition your wardrobe by mixing in new autumn-approved pieces with your summery staples.

Back when I was in school, I remember always feeling frazzled this time of year. When I would go back to school shopping, I'd always beg my mother for just one more pair of cut off shorts...when in fact, what I really needed was a fresh pair of jeans and a crisp cardigan. As I grew I realized that this transitory time was key in setting the tone for my fall wardrobe so I came up with a basic list of must-have items to grab at the end of each summer. Today I've decided to share this list with you. Consider it your go-to shopping guide that will help you focus in on what pieces you actually need to kick-start your fall wardrobe.

Whether you're shipping off to college or simply looking for a work wardrobe update, these basics will get you in the fall shopping spirit:

tbd:Amazon:photo

Stock up on basics: Vince Camuto Leather Buckle Trench Coat, Paper Crown Wildflower Dress, LC Lauren Conrad Boyfriend Blazer, Topshop Petite Khaki Army Jacket

Renew your staples: Goldsign Misfit Skinny Jeans, J.Crew Fine-kit Cardigan, J.Crew Painter Boatneck Stripe Tee, Citizens of Humanity Avedon Skinny Jeans

Snag some new knits: Romwe Bowknot Pants, Topshop Sleeveless Peplum Top, J.Crew Stretch Tank, LC Lauren Conrad Floral Pleated Skirt

Find the right footwear: Urban Outfitters Kimchi Blue Victorian Boot, LC Lauren Conrad Ballet Flats, Zara Studded Cowboy Ankle Boot, Steven Inspirre Flat Boots


While breezy dresses and light-weight tanks are great, I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't excited to greet my boots and scarves that have been in hibernation these past few months... So get excited and get ready to transition your closet for fall.

Are there any shopping guides you would like to see featured on LaurenConrad.com? Let me know in the comments below :-)

Happy shopping!

XO Lauren

      Hi Lauren.


      I am from Denmark and the weather here is definately different than in L.A. That is why, one thing that often annoys me a little by these articles, is that it's not possible in Denmark to wear skirts and shorts in the fall. (Much less in winter, where it can get a lot below 0 degrees.) So I see all these wonderful articles about fashion, that I have no chance of using unless I wanna catch a cold. So I was wondering, if maybe it was possible for you, to take this into consideration also? Maybe there could be a fashion inspiration for us, who live in colder areas of the world? I bet I'm not there only one looking for this. :-)
      Just an idea...
      Otherwise - LOOOOOOVE your site. So pretty and inspiring. :-)

      Thanks for the tips. Just got myself a peplum shirt. I see it's in this season and can be worn for the rest of summer, spring and fall. The khaki trench in different shades is definitely something I wanted to try this winter, possibly blue. Yay fall lets have fun with it!

      One of my most favorite items for fall is Boots. I would pair boots with skinny jeans and a light white, light pink lace. With my hair like laurens. AMAZING!!!
