As the seasons change and I start transitioning my favorite summer pieces back into storage, I think about how fast the summer went and how sad I am to see it go. I am a sun shining, fresh breeze, beach waves kind of girl.

So many of my friends love the fall season because they get the opportunity to pull out their chunky knit wool sweaters, OTK boots and scarves. With the cooler temps gradually creeping in, I begin to start thinking about my seasonal favs that will hold me over until spring blooms start to blossom.

My Fall Must-Haves:

1. A lovely fashion forward stacked heel mule is an easy transitional item that will take you from summer into fall. This Mode Collective Black "Piper" Strappy Suede Mule is a fabulous example of that.




2. Rose' season is officially coming to an end (it never began for me!), and I am gearing up to stock our cellar with my favorite red wine, Domaine Serene Evenstad Reserve. A smooth tasting, easy going pinot noir that can transition any Rose' lover into the red wine season. Cheers! 




3. At Queen Anna part of our morning routine includes lighting a candle and creating a good vibe for a great work day. Voluspa's Vermeil Prosecco Rose Corta Maison Candle is one that I think everyone needs to experience.


These are a few of my favorite items that make the change of seasons easier for me. For all those that may be doing a "fall purge" making room for a few new pieces, make sure you think of Queen Anna if you find yourself in need of beautifully crafted transitional pieces.

The transition from summer to fall can be long-awaited for lovers of cardigans and booties. However, this time of year also serves as a  last call for statement sandals and flowing sundresses. We like to view the period of time between these two seasons as an opportunity to combine your favorite seasonal pieces for looks that will transition with the changing weather.  

Keep your favorite summer dresses in play by pairing with them with opaque tights, close-toed shoes and a leather jacket or sleeveless trench.  This creates a versatile fall ensemble by playing with layers and textures. A well-made leather jacket is truly an essential investment piece, as it will be on repeat throughout fall and reintroduced in early spring.  

If you’re not quite ready to pack away your summer sandals try pairing them with your go-to skinny jeans and lightweight sweater for for those warm September nights! And with patio season still in full swing, don’t be afraid to layer in the evenings. Whether that means throwing a cotton cardigan over a favorite tank or getting major use out of your denim jacket.

We wish summer could last forever, but our boots, knits and cargo jackets await! Here are a few of our must-have transitional pieces:
