Even though we are in the last few days of September, transitional dressing from summer to fall can be particularly tricky or precarious. Brisk in the morning, hot by the afternoon. With eyes looking ahead, I have been shopping for autumn for a while now, and recently discovered stylish new fall arrivals that continue to surface. Suddenly, all I want to wear are cool jackets, leather boots, and sumptuous knits. There are exceptional fall options to choose from this season including new trends and reworked takes on classics. I've been collecting everything from denim jeans to new cashmere knits to long sleeve blouses for layering and textural trench coats. While there's a range of five-star options to consider that is in a class all by itself, I’ve pulled together an edited batch of affordable items which are of utmost interest because of their versatility that can be mixed and matched to create different outfits—thus, the fall transition style journals are here to bring you joy and fresh inspiration so it makes getting dressed a bit easier for the next few months.

I've have about a million browser tabs opened at Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, and Net-a-Porter. Fortunately my affordable favorite Retailers such as H&M, Zara, J.Crew, Madewell, Reformation and Mango have set the bar high with their latest new arrivals, and I couldn't help but snag a few fall pieces for myself. Quiet-luxury maintains its dominance, nevertheless I’ve rounded up 19 affordable but expensive-looking fall staples that look way pricier than their price tags featured in the style journals below. They offer outfit inspiration, top fall trends 2024 and a chic selection of fashion-forward pieces to buy for fall.

It's no secret that as editors, we're sent tons (and I mean tons) of beauty products. Our universal routines are in constant flux, and even if we like a particular product we try, it rarely—if ever—stays put as a permanent staple within our regimens.

Fundamentally, a product we’re infatuated with that actually works on improving our complexion in one way or another (altleast for me) are often as rare as earthquakes or environmental accidents for us. However, every so often, we do reach the bottom of a certain jar or tube—whether it's due to irrevocable obsession or because we simply didn't find another product that was all that much better. (Some products seem to perpetually fall into the bucket of "meh.") Obviously, we're much more focused on an alternative option.

By now, you've probably surmised we test-drive a lot of beauty products here at Always Chasing Rainbows. From nail polish and makeup to hair and skincare, we're knew-deep in all things new, exciting, and wish list–worthy. That said, due to the number of products we come in contact with, we've become very selective beauty consumers. Within seconds, we can tell if a new hair oil is too heavy, and we're quick to ignore a serum that yields disappointing results.

The good news? We can't wait to spread the beauty gospel to all of our fellow beauty lovers (that's you!) when we do stumble upon a product we love. From there, we'd decide which of those we'd actually buy again because they were just that impressive. Sharing is caring, so just below, you can see the products our editors couldn't get enough of and immediately added to their carts once they arrive at a singular conclusion.

We have an entire laundry list of products we simply can't leave home without, but an especially long one of beauty favorites I can't picture packing in my carry-on without. As such, I scour sites to find the best beauty items. I start early—weeks out—so my online shopping cart is stocked and I'm poised and ready to purchase.

We are sharing all summer beauty-priced picks, from skincare products to cosmetics, to makeup for your makeup bag, in every category at our favorite retailers Sephora, Merit beauty, Nordstrom, Myteresa, body care and fragrance to buy before your next booked vacation. Keep scrolling!
