The fashion crew has moved on from London to Milan for the next round of runway shows--and taken fall's romantic dresses with them. Signatures include exuberant florals, saturated hues and exaggerated sleeves, and the cumulative result is swoon-worthy.Take for example, the unabashedly pink puff piece, above, by Michael Kors or this (way) less expensive version. Also these by Asos, Preen (last pic), Love and Lemons, Proenza Schouler, Topshop, Farm Rio, and Keepsake.

This pic convinces me that a jumpsuit is 100% essential this fall (and perhaps forever)! The all-in-one outfit is easy-comfy cool, and this iteration by One Teaspoon is especially amazing, with its sleek and flattering fit. Also incredibly chic: Schutz's thong sandals that will really truly go with everything! More one-and-done wonders worth considering are by The Frankie Shop (a cult hit in NYC!), Alex Mill, Rebecca Taylor, and Madewell.

London Fashion Week had attendees flaunting their newest fall finery this past week. Among the highlights: statement sweaters, leather skirts (and pants and dresses and shirts!), and more statement sweaters!

$168, gap

How I plan to stay chill in the bitter cold. (BTW: the oversized fit is everything!)

Make no mistake, sweater weather will be long--and, at least, so will the sweaters. This season's new oversized knits extend past the waist, in part or altogether, and the effect is high impact and extra cozy. Take a look at these from Monse (above), Tibi (immediately below), H&M, and Khaite.

Fall's prevailing back-to-basics trend is anchored in outfit-polishing--and fresh-looking-- double breasted blazers. The rest is simple: straight-leg jeans and an unfussy top. My favorite options on the market are by Acne Studios, The Frankie Shop, Madewell (Celine-inspired!), Rebecca Valance, A.L.C and Zara (immediately below, and in black too!).

Not your mother's pearls, but the kind pictured here--funky, unexpected, bold--is the new big thing. Particularly love these by Shashi, Mizuki, Bauble Bar, Anne Sisteron, Mango, Catbird, Natasha Schweitzer, and Simone Rochas.

$59, h&m

My favorite NYFW trend: the unbuttoned button-down. It's oversized. It's undone, both on top and bottom, and it's gorgeously paired with a bold gold chain like these by Laura Lombardi (great bang for the buck!), Rachel Comey (super popular) or Jenna Blake (forever-chic investment). I'd like to slip into these sexy shirts by Madewell, Toteme, Rails, Topshop, Vince, and R13.
