Over the weekend, a good friend and I were going over our fall shopping checklists and she crossed off the fur vest, explaining it was not worth the closet real estate. I'd beg to differ, particularly with this example, which would work over a silk blouse, under an army jacket or a pea coat. And it nails the season's boho spirit.

"Tenor setting" is how Vogue describes these flared jeans, the new style for fall. I witnessed them in full effect the other day while shopping at Decades with a vintage-loving friend. In walked a chic woman, clad in head-to-toe denim. Her jeans, however, were far from ordinary. They were cropped, yet not so much to be considered culottes and were flared and hugged the waist. They also featured what seemed like a crease from an undone hem. In other words: tenor setting. To the point where my vintage-collecting friend--who does not own a single pair of jeans--shifted her anti-denim stance and announced that she was thoroughly obsessed. So, I tracked down these new blues by (above), , , and .

I'm loving the retro (Louis Vuitton-esque) vibe of these jeans.

This cute sweater just might make me forget how much I hate cold weather.

A little fringe makes this denim jacket a lot more fun!

This faux fur trimmed cape will make the upcoming transition from warm to cold way more smooth.

It'll be a while till I get to throw on this fall-perfect shearling cape but, once I do, it will be so good! (I will also sub in one of my own leather buckle belts to up its game even more!)

My long whirlwind weekend served up the requisite fireworks, a last-minute trip to wake surf at an inland LA lake (yes, those exist!)--along with an introduction to a rather perfect pair of white jeans. I met them by way of a good friend, who sauntered into my house for a barbecue wearing them, their high-waisted, wide-legged silhouette so spot on right now and flattering. They're by Ulla Johnson and only available . Since wide-leg white jeans are the ones to have this summer, I sought out some more excellent options. My top picks include these by (similar to above, 30% off!), , , (75% off!) and .

I'd like to earn my style stripes this summer with this cute top!
