10 Luxe Fall Finds I'm Lusting Over and 20 Under-$50 Finds I'm Actually Buying
As a fashion editor, there are hundreds of items that come across my desk, email, and social feeds that I instantly lose it over. Whether it's designer suede bags or a pair of heirloom-worthy black leather boots, I'm privy to liking nice, expensive things thanks to my line of work. My credit card, however, doesn't always agree. As much as I'd love to drop a quarter of my salary to do a fall luxury clothing and accessories hall, let's be real—unless I'm the fifth long-lost daughter of Logan Roy, it's not happening anytime soon.
To satisfy my splurge-friendly cravings, I've gathered up over 20 affordable, under-$50 items I'm buying instead of the 10 designer pieces on my wish list. When you see how chic some of these pieces are for less than the price of dinner for two, I'm sure you'll be freaking out just as much as I am. Scroll with caution, though, and try not to add everything to your cart at once!
