Shop Kate Bellman's picks:
"I’ve been looking for an oversized bomber jacket for years as the next iteration of the moto. With the shearling collar, this one brings all the cozy feels."
"This Madewell cardigan will be my everyday go-to when I’m looking for an easy third layer."
"This easy, low-profile sneaker is the most perfect wear-with-everything silhouette."
"Here in Seattle, the rainy season has hit. Any coat that can double in function and fashion is a must."
"This mini bag is both refined and chic, and the bucket shape can hold more than it appears."
"I’m really feeling the head-to-toe denim look this season, and the oversized shape on this wardrobe staple is a great modern update to achieve the look."
"Everyone needs a great pair of loafers for fall, and this true-blue color is a fresh take on the modern classic."
"This plushy goodness is perfect for both gathering at home around the fire as well as dressed up for a holiday party with a satin slip skirt."
"I love the juxtaposition of the organic hammered texture mixed with the sparkle and shine of the crystals. These would both spruce up a T-shirt and jeans or make a full statement for a night out."
"I’ve long been a fan of a severe boat-neck and love the sophistication of the plissé details. The cropped shape would style well back to a pair of high-waisted trousers."
