Fall has barely poked it's annoying face down my way and I am already cold- this September/ October/ November trio has never been my favorite.  The wind, the rain, the darkness- argh!  But I guess all my woes can be obliterated with a fur vest?  It will keep me warm, impossibly stylish and when I feel lonely or miserable, I can just rub my face on it for some much needed coddling.  Kate Moss seems pretty happy with her vest- though she is not smiling I am sure she is happy. 1) Cheap- Michael Kors  at Zappos $130 2) Steep- Neiman Marcus $1,100

I love how Katharine pairs a neutral dress with such a bright accessory. They offset each other perfectly. 1) Dress by Nanette Lepore at Bloomingdale's $127 2) Clutch by Rachel Comey at Gargyle $100

I am not a huge fan of prints- it feels like the item of clothing is yelling at me or something.  But Mary Kate somehow makes this work here- she pairs it with simple black and a hot like fire clutch- nice. 1) Kohl's $55 2) Roberto Cavalli at net a Porter $990

I love oversized blazer.  I really do.  But I am pretty short so they don't look that good on me- I look like I am wearing my dad's blazer or something.  But if you have the frame for it, rock it.  Oh and for some odd reason, I can't seem to find any inexpensive oversized blazers- if anyone has any suggestions, please don't hesitate to post them! 1) Stella McCartney at Net a Porter $2045 2) Elizabeth and James at Net a Porter $395

Pumps- Charlotte Russe $30 Dress- Dillard's $180 Belt- Madison L.A $81

I think she might be onto something... rocking a leopard scarf can rwarrrr up any old outfit.  Stick with basic colors and you might just be queen of the jungle for a day... yeah that was a lame pun but I simply could not resist. Anyways seeing as there are a plethora of uber expensive and super cheap options for you, here are 2 which I think cover the price spectrum and look pretty darn cool! 1) Cheap  Asos $30 2) Steep Alexande McQueen at Net a Porter $475

I am mos def jealous of how Cameron Diaz can make the simplest Stella McCartney sweater dress look so glamourous- arghghg.  Maybe it's the heels- yeah let's just say it's the heels :P 1) Dress LNA at Shop Bop $124 2) Shoes Asos $50

I love how Gwyneth can pair these cargos with pumps at night or strappy flats for the day- all whilst rocking a blazer to keep the look put together.  Both  outfits look equally pimp but you know that I prefer the ones with the flats cuz, well you know, it's flats. 1) Cheap Tilly's $36 2) Steep   Balmain at My Theresa $1982

Oh Jennifer, you can make such a plain jane strapless dress and tan shoes look oh so effortlessly stylish.  The look is on the basic side, which is prob why I covet it so much.  But it works.  And it's awesome. 1) Dress  Max & Chloe at Nordstrom $148 2) Sandals Nine West at Zappos $80

1) Alloy $33 2) Macy's $34 3) Zappos $50 4) Tilly's $35 5) Farfetch $48

1) Dress- Yoox $98 2) Blazer- Top Shop $135 3) Pumps- Macy's $80

Seriously the only bottoms I want to wear all summer long are shorts.  I have become obsessed.  I think they look amazing dressed up with a blazer or dressed down with some chill flats.  I love love love this look by Cameron Diaz- so summery with its light color palette, stunning platform shoes and oooh, no over the top accessorizing- lovez it! Shorts- Delia's $30 Blazer- Asos $67 Platforms- Endless $93

Yeah ok so I have not yet jumped onboard the silky cropped pants trend train yet but I just might do it... eventually.  I would rock the black ones as I do not think I have the legs for its lighter colored counterparts.  These silky cropped pants look great paired with some sky high heels, a light flowy top and for some reason-  a nice oversized clutch.  Happy shopping! Cheap- Alloy $20 Steep- Marc Jacobs at My Theresa $620

For realz ladies- this is a look totally fits my bill.  It's simple, easy and combines 2 of my favorite colors- navy and tan.  You will literally get dressed in like 3 minutes with this look- enjoy! Romper- Tilly's $48 Belt- Delia's $20 Tan Shoes- Yoox $70

I love me a good jumper.  I have yet to purchase one but it is most def on my seemingly never0ending shopping list.  Jumpers eliminate at least one step in the "what to wear this morning" process.  Here are a few under $50 ones for our perusal.  Enjoy! 1) American Apparel $38 2) Chickdowntown $45 3) Pacsun $23

You know what? I actually enjoyed the sequel to the first SATC movie.  I came in with very low expectations and left pleasantly surprised.  Maybe it was because of my hatred of the first installment, or maybe it was because Aidan looked so cute in that white button down shirt (*sigh... Aidan...) or maybe it was the fashion- yeah prob the fashion.  It was over the top and a bit circus-y but by golly, I have never seen couture on a camel look so good.  Oh and yeah, check out SJP's shoes below- how frikin hot are they? Get em here if you have the moolah: Browns Fashion

I have been on a mission for a yellow strapless dress since once of my closest friends announced she was getting married a year ago.  It was my choice of style and color for what would be a very special occasion. Bah- I failed terribly on this fashion mission. I could never seem to find the right shade, style or price point so I ended up wearing a nice purple strapless number.  Regardless, this dress is still on my mind and I found a few options whilst browsing the interweb- I may just purchase my one 'em.  Enjoy! 1) Target $15 2) Asos $127 3) Shop Bop $342 4) Windsor $65

1) Nordstrom $43 2) Asos $43 3) Delia's $35 4) Delia's $35 5) Forever 21 $9

I love a good flimsy jumper/ dress in a bright color, belted at the waist.  I think the loose-ness of the coral piece adds some casual-ness to what would otherwise be a dressy outfit. Coral Jumper- Alloy $28 Mary Janes- Kohl's $38 Bangles- Arden B $14 Belt- Charlotte Russe $9 Black Cardigan- Asos $25

When I saw this look I initially thought- wow, there she goes again.  SJP never disappoints.  Look at her pairing taffeta and lace- it's incredibly impressive.  I love the colors together- very untraditional, very outside the box and very Sarah Jessica Parker.

Ahhh Balmain, you make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. You inspire me with your low cut tops, shiny pants, sky high lace up boots- you make me want to hit a club on south beach and hang out with some sort of jet set crowd and spend loads of cash I don't have and regretting it later- I really love Balmain. If you are feeling Kim's top below as much as I am, you are def in trouble. It pretty pricey and I have yet to find a cheap knock off. 1) Top B almain $4435
