Zara

All week the Spring '13 runways have made us long for warmer weather and a bright palette — cue Zara's latest TRF lineup to change all that. With the labels' new moody hues, camo prints, and wooly, cozy textures, we're actually excited for the temps to finally cool. We're envisioning a Fall uniform of black skinnies, topped with one of the collection's cool camo hoodies or oversize leather vests. As always, Zara makes it easy to give your staples a trendier-minded boost — this season that means distressed tweeds, embellished jackets (the kind that give your tees and tanks a touch of the Baroque vibe), and quilted leather. It's a little Parisian, a little rocker-chic, very Kate Moss-meets-Emmanuelle Alt — and all at Zara's TRF lower price point. Read on for our takeaways, then click through to get a glimpse of the full Fall lineup.

• With all the trendier fare to choose from, this wool coat would lend a classic, menswear-inspired contrast. It's the kind you can wear season after season without worrying if it's "out of style."
• A little Baroque, and very cool — this embellished jacket would help us get dressed up in a snap.
• These skinny-fit camo pants make it easy to experiment with the trend. We'll style them up with an oversize boyfriend sweater and ankle boots to test the waters.

It may only be the second week of August, but we already have inklings of what we'll want to wear come Fall's crisper, cooler days, and it looks something like Zara's latest lineup. Tapping right into the upcoming season's biggest trends, Zara delivers a crop of fit-and-flare peplum tops, ornately, pearl-embellished silky tops and minis, and a metallic sequined jacket right along with a healthy dose of our (new) favorite basics, like biker boots, leather skirts, and rocker-chic tweedy jackets. Truly, this collection is all about the details, from ombré-effect feathered skirts to the tough-girl studs on the shoulders of a classic-fit blazer, Zara pretty much nails that fantasy-wardrobe feel at its shopping-reality price.

• It hadn't dawned on us to start coat shopping until we spied this slick version, a cool-girl balance of bouclé and moto detailing.
• Come early Fall, this is all we'll be wearing — a boy-meets-girl play on a classic knit and slick leather shorts.
• This peplum top would be just the thing to upgrade our work and weekend wear in one easy, ultrachic step.

The trendy retailer just released its Fall campaign featuring one of our favorite faces, Freja Beha Erichsen, wearing a preview of the brand's newest offerings for the season ahead.

Don't let a burst of color or a tricky print get in the way of your personal style. To set you on the path of graphic-printed t-shirt righteousness, we've outfitted this bold comic-inspired 3.1 Phillip Lim tee ($175) five unique ways. If you've got a more polished 9-to-5 dress code, add a black leather pencil skirt, slick ankle-strap sandals, and statement jewelry to the mix. If you're more of a laid-back kind of girl, play up the bright hues in the shirt via a navy-blue blazer, neon-yellow shoulder bag, and classic white Chucks. We've thought of everything, even catering to an ethereal blend of flowy chiffon and mixed metallics for the ultrafeminine style setter. Click through for our take — five ways — on this season's vibrant printed t-shirt, and then shop the look that makes this quirky piece work for you.

While we love a stunning "straight from the runway" look, we get equally excited spotting our favorite celebs in covetable (and totally affordable) pieces. On today's lower-priced lust list?
