I love Fall weather. To keep warm, I like to mix and match pieces for a casual and comfortable look that features leather, pleather, bright colors, fringe and men’s inspired styles.

Mix and layer tops with cardigans and jackets during the day. For nights out on the town, flatter your waist by tucking in a fitted cami underneath a high waisted skirt. Wear skirts, dresses and loose tops with leggings or tights to complete the look - and keep your legs warm at night.

These are some of my favorite pieces for Fall:

1. Miss Sixty Ankle Boots

2. Marc Jacobs Neon Pink Handbag

3. Stussy Robot Necklace

4. Antik Batik Scarf

5. Goorin Brothers Fedora Hat

6. Giles for Evoke Jewelry

7. Insight Flannel Top

8. Juicy Couture Mini-Black Jacket

9. Urban Renewal Mens Inspired Blazer

10. Costume Dept. Leggings

11. Vanessa Bruna Fringe Bag

12. Haute Hippie Fringe Cardigan

This summer, even more so than summers of recent memory, is all about the dress. Dresses for every occasion, every time of day and everywhere. And there is plenty to pick from. I’m really noticing  ankle length dresses are back in big way this season, which is sweet if you’re a tall person, unlike some of us. Bohemian prints are really hot, especially in the longer length dresses. (That would be the Tara Matthews example, above).  Feminine details like ruffles, bows and the cascade of extra fabric are also popular. And, when in doubt, pick something in a vibrant, eye popping hue like the off the shoulder cut from Robert Rodriguez after the jump. The T-shirt style mini is still a good choice, along with the draping, looser styles we all love with tights the rest of the year. Another interesting fabric is the dip and dye print, where the dress starts out one colour and ends up another. If it’s all too much, fall back to the classic colour combo of black and white in wild print. I’ve done the hard work by compiling what I see as the prime examples of major summer trends. All you need to do is find a reasonable facsimile. Pics after the jump.
