I was back at Kohl's again a couple days ago to scout out the new fall arrivals. The Apt. 9 label - which is usually one of their more stylish lines - has a decent number of pieces that I wanted to own. Let's start with this Apt. 9 geometric textured sweatshirt ($20) shown above: It's got quilting (a big fall trend that I'm loving since it's an easy way to add texture to a look and update old standbys like the sweatshirt), and it's a beautiful Bordeaux color, which always says "Fall" in my book. Picture it layered over a white button-down shirt with black pants, heels and some J.Crew-esque baubles. Yes, please.
I also fell for this zebra sweater ($30) and this leopard print sweater ($30) - both were super cozy and soft and would look great with leggings or skinnies and tall boots (or ankle boots) this season.
If you've been pinning fall looks that require a moto vest or jacket but can't spring for costly genuine leather - or you simply prefer vegan leather - I think you'll be impressed with both this Apt. 9 quilted moto vest ($40) and this Apt. 9 moto jacket ($50) which I first spied on my girl Megan's Instagram in unexpected lavender, dusty blue, gray or black. Then again the pastel hues may be expected if you're fond of fall's pastel trend - a little seasonal color palette twist to keep things fresh!
Aside from these Apt. 9 highlights, I noticed the new Juicy Couture collection has launched (meh), and Dana Buchman has real leather handbags, a Kohl's first! Warning, they are pricy. This Dana Buchman "Bryant" leather satchel is $101 on sale. I think we could do better elsewhere. But it's a step in the right direction.
Scroll down for more photos - I didn't get to try much on (or buy anything) this trip because little man figured out how to unlock and open dressing rooms doors. He can't be contained! So I'll have to head back another time to get some goodies.

as for shopping with kids,
when my kids were little , I put them in the stroller and we went to mall. I guess I am from a different generation.

As for shopping with the little guy -- I'm from that "put them in the stroller and go" generation. Have you checked out the baby ipad/iphone games? No one wants to give them too much time on those things, but I'm thinking Mama's time in the dressing room could equate with Little Guy's time to play a game. Mama gets to shop and try on, Little Man improves his hand to eye coordination, I get to see his sweet face in the background of your pics -- Yay! We all win! :0)
