For those basket bag lovers out there (that would be me!), Caterina Bertini offers up a winter-ready version: a chunky-knit straw tote, complete with velvet ribbon handles. Too cute! I'm also besotted with her wool knit bucket bag, her Chanel-spirited shoulder bag, and chunky knit pouch. All under $120!

I've got an in with the peeps at Moda Operandi, which I want to share with you: 25% off with the code PRIVATE25 through 10/20. Up for grabs: Fall's newest must-haves, like the Veja sneakers, above, this coveted Proenza Schouler bucket bag, this faux fur Stella Jean jacket, and this party-ready lace Alexis dress. Quick, shop it all here.

I've been on a dress-wearing streak lately. In fact, I can't remember the last time I wore a pair of jeans! LA's endless summer is enabling this stylish whim of mine, but I'm also hooked on the throw-on-and-go ease of a dress. I'd like to perpetuate my streak straight into fall with the no-fail slip-dress-sweater combo. It's a look that both comfortable, feminine and yes, throw on and go. I'd happily slip into these dresses by Asos, Alexander Wang, And Other Stories (also this one), Protagonist, and Free People.

I have a similar looking pair of Alexandre Birman heels that are currently in heavy rotation, but would love to sub in this fun red pair by Seed Heritage at a quarter of the price.

I love the idea of wearing a cardigan as a jacket--and this is the time of year to do it (or at least we're getting close to it)! This nubby knit has all the trappings of outerwear: it's cozy, chunky, yet still light enough to be indoor friendly. It's hard to see from this pic, but the yarn bobbles form cute heart shapes. In other words, it's adorbs--and under $100. Yes, please!

I'm into this season's robe-like coats, as they're the perfect (lightish) weight for this transitional weather, plus they look fresh and new. What's more, they suit my current easy-way-out mood--amenable to casual jeans and dressier dresses. Some to consider come from
