Among my favorite trends for fall are wide-leg pants, which, of course, give the illusion of a taller, slimmer figure. I'd like that, of course, and I'd go for it with a new pair of boot-cut jeans--a back-in-fashion fall style that looks compellingly fresh again. Thanks to Shopbop's sale, which just started today, there are loads of jeans to choose from, including these by (similar to above), and , plus other excellent finds that tap into the biggest trends of the season. My picks include these , this , this , these , this , this , these , and these . To peruse all the offerings, click .

P.S. The summer-friendly items on sale--such as this gorgeous eyelet-trimmed , these forever-chic and this flowy --are also incredibly tempting, particularly to a year-round beach-going Angeleno like me.

These studs would give me the double ear pierced look I don't have but (sometimes) want--along with a good dose of sparkle. (You can tell I really like them as I featured them in silver !). I'd rock them casually like this...

This lightweight biker-meets-bomber jacket cannot be more fall-friendly--and chic.

When you marry an always chic boxy tweed with a classic denim jacket you end up with this incredibly cool, fall-ready, layered look.

Much to the chagrin of those nearest and dearest to me, I am a do-everything-at-the-last-minute kind of person. The one who decides to throw a dinner party the day of.

This bag's tonal, minimalist leather exterior would nicely conceal the daily throw-everything-in chaos of my life.

My ultimate go-to top: it's simple, sexy (it has a split back!), and can be worn day and night.

Of all the "it" white bags this summer, I especially like this one for its priceless where-did-you-get-that aura and striking horn handle.

This ultimate summer bag will go from a work meeting to a beach date without flinching.
