Are you ready for Fall?

I know the last thing you probably want to think about in August is the fall, right?  But truth is, fall fashions hit the runways a while ago, and of course I want you to be fully prepared for the season and have as much info on all the new trends.  So today I want to tell you the 10 items every woman needs to have in her wardrobe....in preparation for fall.  Here's your cheat sheet of wearable trends to shop for, plus runway-inspired finds you'll love!  It's never too early to prepare for the upcoming season ladies, so get inspired now for what's to come this fall!

1.  Pencil skirt - at designer shows like Jason Wu, his tailored pencil skirts paired well with everything from tailored blouses to big and boxy jackets.  Heels are a requirement here ladies, be they pointy-toe pumps or strappy sandals.




2.  Multi-fabric coat - wool meets leather and fur in fall's mixed-media outerwear.  You don't have to match your boots to your (leather) trim to rotate these statement pieces into your wardrobe.  But consider their vibe - whether tough, bohemian or classic.




3.  Bright Chunky knit - cables and jacquard weaves team with hot colors for cozy knits.  Designers went for contrast on the runway, and so should you.  Choose a dressier piece - preferably tailored, not froufrou - as a contrast to bulk and texture on top.



4.  Winged tote - expandable sides define the newest big bags, but it's more about the look than utility.  This classic shape adds ladylike poise to unstructured, loose sportswear.




5.  Leather T - so chic I hate to call it super-trendy (but it is!).  Combine with separates in denim or lace, taking it as reserved or as edgy as you wish.  Try it belted.



6.  Cropped pants - this season finely tailored versions wake up your work look and can even stand in as tights under a dress. Pair with oxfords, ankle-strap pumps, or any other shoe you want to show off.



7.  Moto Jacket - the tough topper is having a major moment!  Besides straight-up black leather, there are two-toned takes and tweed versions with details like quilting and rough edges.  Pretend it's a neutral blazer and sport with anything from a long, flowy skirt to wool trousers.



8.  Full-skirted dress - designers just couldn't let go of the 60s silhouette, which makes for luxe looks that aer a whole lot easier on the hips than, say, the classic sheath.  Dress it down by adding flats and a fitted jacket or cardigan.



9.  Pointy-toe pumps - your new day-to-evening heels.  On the runway these sharp shoes glammed up menswear cuts. Go for a bright or jewel tone to enliven a wardrobe of neutrals.




10.  Printed suits - DKNY, Louis Vuitton, and Miu Miu took suits on a psychedelic ride! For night, show skin with a sleek tank.  For day, personalize with a crisp white shirt.
