You can’t ever have enough simple camis - and this is one that we’ll be wearing with denim cutoffs and gladiator sandals come summer. What we love about this extra long cami is threefold:
(1) Its shape is extremely flattering and works with, not against, your personal architecture.
(2) The cami is long enough to be a dress…when temperatures warm up, that is.
(3) The mesh cross, while noticeable in the image, is much more subtle in real life. So - you get a bit of detail without it making too much of a statement.

This season, it’s all about the collar. Detachable collars, metal tipped collars, contrast collars, and DIY collars. But the emphasis on the collarbone doesn’t need to stop there - we’re loving choker necklaces to keep the focus near your face. Sleek and sensual, this silver choker necklace not-so-subtly draws attention to your face (and your décolletage). Wear it with simple silhouettes in solid colors for best effect - don’t make it compete with loud patterns and textures.
$56 at Bauble Bar.

With this stunning pair of earrings from A Peace Treaty, you can do good while looking good. We’re loving this pair of handmade earrings for their fierce beauty - the delicate dangling goldplated brass chains are tipped by spikes for a look that’s both hard and soft.
What’s special about A Peace Treaty? Each season, the designers travel to a region to seek out local village artisans to create unique, limited edition accessories. Not only does A Peace Treaty support the local craftspeople with employment opportunities, but they also donate to international aid organizations to support reconstruction efforts in areas of socio-political strife.

Just like a schoolgirl pining after a first crush, j’adore pleated skirts. Luckily, this season’s pleated skirt, with variations in bright colors and fantastic patterns, feels miles away from its schoolgirl roots. American Apparel’s above-the-knee length version combines a figure flattering cut (great for you, regardless of personal architecture) with a stunning royal blue color. Feeling demure? Wear it with a white blouse cinched with a cummerbund belt. But if you’re feeling the fun, go grab a bright orange blouse and watch heads turn as you walk on by.

True to our mission of style for all, we’d like to take the opportunity to feature standout pieces that are as stylish as they are attainable. We’re loving this deliciously drapey shirt, as it exudes elegance - with just a hint of the wild. Giving a nod to the fashion of the Wild West, this 100% silk shirt features something special: decorative metal tips at the collar. We’ve been digging metal collar tips since Balenciaga’s Spring 2011 show, and we’re loving that these decorative collars are feeling increasingly wearable.
$79.90 at Zara.

Vintage French swimwear inspired this heavenly one-piece swimsuit, with its layers of sophisticated (and fast-drying) tulle. What we love is the versatility of the suit (you can remove the straps for a bombshell look) and its figure flattering cut - the layered tulle is kind to those not blessed with a washboard flat stomach. Grab this suit (or the bikini and brief version) now - it will surely sell out quickly.

Look beyond color and texture and create a look based on silhouette. We’re loving the dramatic oversized look of this faux shearling lined parka, which can serve as the star of your silhouette based look. If you live in a temperate climate, you can pair it with shorts, as seen on the model. But for colder climates, we’d recommend switching out the shorts for a close fitting pant or pair of leggings to maintain that gorgeous big-over-small silhouette.

Autumn style is all about layering - sweaters, jackets, scarves all find their place. But autumn layers need not all be heavy. In fact, we love the juxtaposition of a lightweight, gauzy top against a heavy sweater or jacket. This loosely fitting, half lace top will do the trick - just remember to slip on an extra tank underneath.
Extra bonus? This top works perfectly for Spring - so you’ll get double mileage from it.
$64.99 at ModCloth.

Army and military styles are supremely chic for Fall 2010. We’re loving this camo print tee for its greyed out take on traditional camouflage - and for how well it pairs with straight leg and skinny jeans.
$35 at Need Supply.
