In case you haven’t heard, Madonna is capitalizing on her material girl ways, joining the long list of singers and actresses who lend their names and fashion smarts to clothing lines. To be completely honest, when I hear that a celebrity has decided to make a fashion line, I roll my eyes. Madonna predictably named her line “Material Girls”, which can be found exclusively at Macy’s, and I must admit that my expectations were, well, minimal. Nevertheless, I looked online, and was pleasantly surprised to find that some of her line’s pieces will contribute to autumn’s attire rather well.

Unfortunately, looking at the pieces online and in-store are two very different things. I’m glad I visited Macy’s before making any impulsive online purchases. A lot of the fabrics were very inexpensive, and I felt like the quality wasn’t as high as it should be. However, among the disappointment there still were some great pieces.

This leather jacket, which is about $80, is my beloved. Doesn’t it just force that melting, I-have-to-have-it feeling into your heart? I definitely hope to buy this piece for this fall. It is both leather and studded. I get giddy with uncontrollable excitement thinking about how great this would look against a neutral-colored minidress, or even with just jeans and a t-shirt. Unfortunately, I didn’t see it at Macy’s, and although that perhaps is a sign that it’s so amazing that it’s sold-out, I’m on the lookout to find this jacket at every Macy’s I come across. Hopefully, it doesn’t disappoint.

The lace on this flannel shirt is another one of my favorites, as it adds a soft touch the “boyfriend” look which plaid entails. It comes in several other colors, and is, in general, a great piece for fall. I also am obsessed with the studded purse. Small crossbody bags have been everywhere lately, and I like Madonna’s studded version.

The striped crop top and studded fleece sweater were also great, and certainly a tribute to the 80’s, where Madonna first made her stamp in the world of pop. Cropped tops and studs are both also very in-style this fall, and these are two cute and casual pieces. They would look especially fashionable with high-wasted shorts over leggings, which is also a major trend.

There are adorable parts of her line, but all-in-all, I’d recommend checking out the clothes in person before you buy – not everything felt high-quality and durable. Fortunately, there are a couple of stellar items that I am actually very impressed with, and will certainly be great for the fall.
