There's lots to love about Summer, but the cool days of Fall are a refreshing treat after months of sweltering temps. Not only do my long-sleeved shirts and jeans replace sundresses and tank tops, but barely-there yoga wear also gets swapped out with longer, roomier tanks and tops in darker hues. Here are some of my favorites for Fall from I Am Beyond, Zobha, and Lululemon. And if you're really in the mood for change, it may be time to give your workout routine a mini makeover, too!
Clockwise from top left: I Am Beyond Heather Gray Original Pant ($81), I Am Beyond Heather Gray One Shoulder Cami ($68), Zobha Low Impact Criss Cross Tank ($72), Lululemon Run For Your Life Tank ($64), Lululemon Lively Crewneck Tee ($48), I Am Beyond Long Double Strap Cami ($75), Zobha Lightweight V-Neck ($72)
The moment we laid eyes on Dolce & Gabbana and Miu Miu's dazzling footwear on the runway, we knew we'd be in trouble come Fall. Not a trend for style wallflowers, shimmery shoes in the way of glitter, metallics, crystals, and sequins are it for the coming season. The best part? These stunners aren't just for nightwear; we suggest you go double duty and pair your sparkly footwear with denim during the day and swap them out with dressy maxis and pretty cocktail dresses come night. Read more tips on how to wear them below:

The bow tie blouses coming down the Fall '11 runways at Mulberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Tory Burch, and more speak emphatically to a very feminine style sense. Not to be confused with a man's tie, these tie neck blouses are all about retro-inspired, ladylike appeal with high, Victorian-like collars, or sometimes deeper, more modern necklines. They appeal to the season's call to elegance, like high-waists, structured handbags, and slim skirts and trousers — and they wear just as well with them, too. Bow tied they feel prim and poised; undone they're just a little sexier. Either way they're like having a key accessory already built in to your look.

We already got a sneak peek of Tom Ford's upcoming Color Collection, and now here's a closer look. The 132-piece line features intensely pigmented makeup, skin care, and two new scents. And in keeping with Tom Ford's envelope-pushing personality, you can expect some eyebrow-raising names within the line, such as a bold red lipstick called Lost Cherry and a dark polish called Bitter B*tch. See more of his first official beauty collection before it lands on counters this November.
OnSugar blogger fashion fortuneteller is helping us shop the best grown-up blazers for back to school:
I'm so nervous about going back to school. I know I shouldn't be. I mean I'm going for my Masters, it's not like I'm new to sitting in a classroom, managing work load, and pulling all-nighters! But something, just has my stomach full of butterflies. So naturally, what do I do when I'm feeling nervous or unsure about something, need time to think things through, or am simply having a bad day... I make outfits! I dip into my closet and just start creating new looks. It's my CALM. Lately, I've been trying to think about how I could use the tons of blazers I have in creative ways. I work a corporate 9-5 that requires suits, therefore I have blazers galore. Suits are so not my thing — just seems too structured. Can you think of any creative ways to use blazers, like any of the ones I selected to feature today?

Fashion is all about taking risks — but how far are you willing to go? In an ode to the upcoming season, we gathered up some of the wildest Fall looks, ranging from furry gorilla sleeves to kooky headgear, for you to weigh in on. We appreciate the creativity and artistry behind the looks, but not everything can translate from the runway to real life. While most will probably say pass, we're sure there are some celebs and fashion folk who are dying to try out some of these creative out-of-the-box designs. Peruse the slideshow, then tell us if you're willing to go with it, or if they should stay on the runway.
When Summer winds down and Fall rolls around, there are a few films that always take us back to the days of shopping for new school clothes and heading back to class. Whether we're after a '90s prep-school style, or we're feeling more East Coast Ivy Leaguer, there's a school-themed movie that's sure to fit the sartorial bill. From Love Story to Clueless, click through to see and shop the looks inspired by our favorite back-to-school flicks.
Lace is one of Fall's dominant trends, and the lacy confections coming down the runways at Elie Saab, Dolce & Gabbana, and Jason Wu felt simultaneously sweet and sexy. It's a call to ladylike dressing, albeit with a sultry undertone. That's what we love about lace; it speaks to femininity in two ways and makes us feel both prim and hot. With that in mind, we've rounded up 15 of our favorite lace dresses that hit all the style qualifications we're after. Some hint at that girlier sensibility with pink lace and full skirts, others to our sexier side in black body-conscious lace. Click through to shop all of our picks, and find the style that speaks to you.
