Pre-Fall items may be filling stores and real Fall may be quickly approaching, but that doesn't mean we're in any hurry to bundle up. In fact, this week's highly covetable new arrivals are just about as warm-weather appropriate as it gets — and even better, they'll pull double duty with the addition of a few layers once the temperature drops. An intricately patterned Roberto Cavalli wiggle dress, a gold-tipped pair of Yves Saint Laurent peep-toes, a silky Rachel Comey top — all the chicest just-in pieces are right here, in the slideshow.

Sneak Peek: See the Teaser For Dior's Secret Garden Film

This season's Dior film won't be released until May 3, but here's a look at the exclusive teaser.

by Christina Perez

This season's Dior film won't be released until May 3, but here's a look at the exclusive teaser. Titled Secret Garden, the sneak peek shows models Daria Strokous, Melissa Stasiuk, and Xiao Wen Ju strolling eerily through the gilded hallways of Versailles wearing the label's Fall 2012 collection. Set to the tune of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy The Silence," the mostly black-and-white teaser is punctuated by flashes of color, which reveal each girl's underpinnings — or new outfits entirely — as she walks and poses. Words are very unnecessary, indeed.

The Latest Covetable Looks From Pre-Fall 2012 — Alexander McQueen, Lanvin, Louis Vuitton, and More

Retro throwbacks, tailored perfection, and soft feminine references — pre-Fall '12 is a beautiful blend of structured shapes and unexpected girlie details.

by Marisa Tom

Retro throwbacks, tailored perfection, and soft feminine references — pre-Fall '12 is a beautiful blend of structured shapes and unexpected girlie details. Lanvin delivered deliberately unfinished embellishments like exposed dart seams and raw edges, while Givenchy revived its "greatest hits" prints (think tropics and rottweiler motifs), and Sarah Burton traveled back in time to the '60s English countryside to whip up a cool equestrian-inspired McQ collection. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. We're obsessed with Carven's nod to mod silhouettes, Derek Lam's focus on detachable mink collars, and Versace's Studio 54 vibe, too. It's a pre-season worth poring over, so get to it. Click through to see even more inspired looks and gorgeous accessories from Pre-Fall 2012.

>> Bill Gaytten kept it classic for Pre-Fall 2012. Below-the-knee pencil skirts, peplum jackets, bell-shaped tulip skirts, and round-collar capes were offered up in lovely, pared-down versions — with just a dash of drama found in liquid-like vinyl and graphic plaid.

>> Sarah Burton culled influence from the Victorian era — particularly, the ultra-full circle skirts of that period — for Pre-Fall 2012.

by Christina Perez

>> Sarah Burton culled influence from the Victorian era — particularly, the ultra-full circle skirts of that period — for Pre-Fall 2012. Also worked into the mix: the nipped-in waists of '50s couture, lush fabric motifs inspired by Elizabethan art, and exaggerated silhouettes that hint at the work of Charles James. "I've raised the waist, kept the peplum, but moved away from the pencil skirt," Burton explained.
