Stella McCartney Satin Camisole Dress

When you take a style cue from Charlize Theron, you really can’t go wrong. The amazing actress herself just wore this absolutely stunning Stella McCartney Satin Camisole Dress to the HFPA Annual Installation Luncheon in Beverly Hills a few days ago, and she looked marvelous. You can get the same dress from Net-A-Porter, and better yet, it’s on sale! Now just $597, originally $995, it’s surely a must-buy. The only thing better than being as stylish as Ms. Theron is to be as stylish as she is at 40% off!

Rachel Roy Layla Plaited Strap Dress

Rachel Roy is current queen of all that is New York pretty and chic. She’s married to a music/clothing mogul, she has an unbelievably stylish wardrobe, and her eponymous upscale fashion line is being bought up by every luxury store in the country. She’s the unapologetically girly-girl with an indescribable New York cool. She’s the new Kimora Lee Simmons, except multiply more refined. Get a piece of the action with this Rachel Roy Layla Plaited Strap Dress, $720 from Net-A-Porter. The goddess draping has a certain Sophia Kokosalaki quality to it, while the easy silhouette is very Stella McCartney. A fabulous dress for under $750? Now that is cool.

Chloé leather ballet flats

What can I say?  I have always favored brown leather shoes for fall.  Dreary black shoes seem like they should be strictly reserved for the winter months when you’re cold and need stark contrast in your outfits.  Fall begs for much more earthy and muted hues all in the same family like browns, cranberries, burnt oranges, and the occasional copper.  I love these Chloé leather ballet flats.  Their shade of russet-toned leather always seems like the quintessential color of footwear to pair with cozy sweaters and multi-colored leaves.  I could see myself wearing these year after year under oh-so-blue November skies.  My favorite details include the rounded toe and buckle, which remind me of the make-me-drool Paddington bags.

Catherine Malandrino - Puff Sleeve Blouse

Here is another great example of Fall’s bright colors!  This Puff Sleeve Blouse by Catherine Malandrino is super chic!  (Well……of course everything from Catherine is super chic.)  It comes in this great Fuchsia color with a large keyhole neck tie and has embroidered detailing on the shoulders.  The color and style of this blouse is breath-taking!  I think it would look great tucked into black trousers or a black pencil skirt.  Available at Net-a-Porter - $395.00.

Chloé Heloise Shoulder Bag

My heart skips a beat every time I think about a new season of fashion.  I go absolutely nuts for the few weeks before I can officially start wearing the fall styles, and then I settle down into a comfortable pattern of wearing my older favorites.  As usual, the must-have bag for the upcoming season is brought to us by Chloé.  Even with a new designer in its house, Chloé’s accessories are as strong as ever.  I love the red patent leather look.  This bag will brighten up any day, no matter how dreary it might be outside.   The best thing about the Heloise bag, in my humble opinion?  Lots of adorable compartments!
