I love this top's floaty, Zimmermann-y spirit--and under $100 price tag!

French fashionistas didn't wait to bust out fall's must-have trench coat. They debuted this cool-weather layer back in July (!), as evidenced in the snaps taken during Couture Week. So, it's not at all too early for us to contemplate which one we might want to sport come fall. Just keep in mind that the roomier the fit, the chicer. This season's oversized trench has a masculine flair, and it's relaxed enough to throw over pretty much any outfit. I'm eyeing these from Asos, Hatch, H&M, A.W.A.K.E, Topshop (or this one), and Alexander Wang.

Mango's take on this season's puff sleeve blouse is extra stylish with its back scarf-tie. I'd wear it with everything from denim cut-offs to work-sharp trousers.

I'd like to weekend in this playful '70s-spirited jumpsuit--and come fall, with a striped long sleeve tee underneath!

Nothing like a little retail therapy to allay my summer-is-flying-by anxiety! Thanks to Shopbop's sale, I snapped up the super cute Lisa Marie Fernandez suit, above! Also desirable: these everyday-ready J Brand jeans, this bead-trimmed Keepsake dress, this spot on vintage-looking camo jacket, this romantic floral print maxi by Likely, and this whisper-light gauze Matin blouse. Check out all the sale offerings here.

In my mind, floral-print dresses are as much a part of summer as sunscreen and sandy toes. But this fall is bringing in a bevy of blooms too--a trend I am eager to embrace! The most beautiful wear-now (and later) dresses I love include this Alice + Olivia, this Preen by Thornton Bregazzi, this Balenciaga, this Yumi Kim (on sale!) and this Topshop.

I adore Zimmermann's ethereal dresses (above)---but not so much their steep prices--so I was delighted to discover The Outnet's treasure trove of discounted past season pieces, such as this lattice-trimmed dress, this lace-paneled, floral print midi, this embroidered gauze dress, this lace-trimmed bikini, this ruffled romper, and this broderie anglaise blouse. Happy Friday!

If I had to pack my weekend getaway bag with just one clothing line it would be Faithfull. This Bali-based brand specializes in effortlessly chic, ready-for-anything pieces--all under $200! During the past month, I've worn this dress umpteen times. So, I'm inclined to stockpile more, including the striped jumpsuit, above, the strapless linen top and skirt, below, and the high-waisted pants and top, last pic. I also love this romper (on sale!), this cropped top, and this off-the-shoulder jumpsuit.

I've been wearing this ruffled statement dress on repeat and raking in compliments, but what's most gratifying? I snapped it up for just $28! You can find it here!

Worn with high-waist pants, this season's most coveted crop top shows just a sliver of the abdomen--thankfully, the flat part, just below the rib cage. For this reason, I am a big fan! Particularly of the Ganni checked version, above, as well as these by For Love and Lemons, MDS Stripes, Elizabeth and James, Jen's Pirate Booty, Tome, and Free People.
