Grey on Grey and My Fall Essentials

I can't get enough of the color grey lately, and ever since seeing Emily VanCamp rocking an all grey ensemble two year ago, it has been one of my favorite looks.  Now that fall has officially arrived, there's are a few fall essentials that every girl should have, and I happen to be wearing five of them in  this outfit.  The first being grey or black skinny jeans.  Since grey is my favorite color this season, I was excited to pull these Jbrands out of my closet, and I'm sure you'll be seeing them a lot more on the blog.  I decided to try an all grey look with these jeans, and paired them with my second essential for the fall, an oversize sweater.  There is nothing better than throwing on a cozy sweater when there is a crisp breeze in the air.  My third essential for the fall is an ankle boot.  I recently added these to my wardrobe and love how they have a sling back, making them different from any other ankle boot I own, and perfect for the changing weather.  My fourth fall essential is a leather jacket.  I live in leather jackets this time of year, and love how they add a bit of edge (and the right amount of warmth) to any outfit, whether it being jeans or dresses.  To make my all grey look not too drab, I paired different shades of grey to add depth, and added a statement earring and a red lip, which is my fifth fall essential.  I normally don't wear a lot of lipstick, but fall is the perfect time to try darker shades, and thought the red added a nice pop of color to my outfit.

I was recently introduced to Raise.com, an online marketplace where you can buy gift cards to retailers at discounted prices.  I was excited to discover that they offer gift cards to some of my favorite places to shop for clothing and beauty products, such as Bloomingdales, Zara, H&M, Neiman Marcus, Sephora, and Walgreens.  Check out all the retailers where you can buy discounted gift cards to here.  Also, if you have unwanted gift cards, you can sell them on Raise.com for cash!  Whether getting a deal on a gift card to your favorite store, or selling a gift card for extra cash, Raise.com is a place to visit when adding fall essentials to your wardrobe.
