Hi Manhattanites! I’m FreshJess, a Seattle lifestyle blogger with a penchant for keeping stylish while I’m on the go and making things happen in this beautiful city. I’m honored to be among such great, inspirational ladies here on the Manhattanites blog and look forward to sharing my style with you.
I’m so excited to transition into fall, and in Seattle we always have to be ready for extremely variable weather conditions during this time. In addition to carrying my umbrella and sunglasses everywhere, here are a few fall essentials I’ve found thanks to Manhattanites. I am all for sexy & sassy basics sprinkled with bright splashes of color!

Clockwise from top left:
- David Lerner Organic Cap Sleeve Pocket Tee: You know how it gets cold & rainy outside, but when you step indoors it’s way too hot for your jacket? That’s when this soft & flowy tee shines.
- Siwy Hannah Slim Crop Jean in Wet Jet: These pants will look fab with anything and everything. Riding boots & blazer in the day, stilettos & sequined top at night…imagine the possibilities!
- Tolani Braided Scarf: I love the color & braided detail of this scarf. It’s like bringing the last of sunny days along with me into the fall.
- Mackage Quinn Coat: The high neckline, plaid & button detail make this the perfect coat for the young, professional style maven.
- CC Skye Mimi Bag: This bag brings a ray of sunshine to our many cloudy days ahead. Love!
- KRMA Dean Leather Jacket: Worn with the Siwy Hannah & a pair of red stilettos, it’s easy to channel Sandra Dee with this hot little jacket number.

Go Fresh Jess! Doing Sea-town proud. Way to represent. Love your fall must-haves. I’m your biggest fan!
I’m excited for fall too! I think I need to save my pennies and get that Mackage Quinn coat! I love the A-line sleeves and the back is totally different too. The perfect length and style!
loving fall style w/ freshjess. I especially love the leather jacket & tolani braided scarf! in the colder months i pair pashminas and scarves with anything and everything. just saw on rachel zoe yesterday that a leather jacket goes with everything so i’ve definitely got my eye on one. would love to incorporate into my wardrobe! great picks for fall!
