Copenhagen currently feels more like fall, with its 50-degree temps and gusty rain squalls--and the city looks like it too, with cold weather-suitable coats, leather jackets and layered trenches out in full fashion-week force. Also ubiquitous: low-slung, loose-fitting, wide-leg white jeans. The unexpected summer carry-over is like a bright ray of sunshine in next-season's lineup, striking in its versatility and fresh-looking fit. Some solid options to defy the chill and gloom come from AGOLDE, Levi's, Slvrlake, Citizens of Humanity, and The Row.

It's all about a pointy-toe pump this fall, so I bought these (baby) kitten heels to kick up everything from jeans to skirts. They're everyday-running-around compatible and come in a variety of colors, but the French Burgundy, above, beams with sleek Khaite vibes.

Copenhagen's mid-August Fashion Week always provides a sneak peek into fall's coming styles, and as these pics reveal, a medley of ruffles, leather, and denim are bound to prevail. What's refreshing, however, is that everything is everyday wearable. Take, for example, the dramatic poet blouse, above, which makes a big statement but is easy enough to wear with jeans. I love these new iterations from Tuckernuck, Merlette, and Victoria Beckham. An oversized Khaite blazer, below, is a future (and forever) staple, as well as loose-fitting denim from Nili Lotan (similar to above) and Citizens of Humanity (pictured immediately below). To stave off the chill, we'll need a leather bomber (Pixie Market, Zara or The Attico) and a pair of yellow Sambas to get from here to there to everywhere!

Just a heads up that Khaite's most coveted, sold-out-everywhere ballet flats (read: must-have shoes!) are back in stock--for now! Available in neutral, above, and black, below. Modeled by Courtney Grow, the girl who has everything!

I love a haphazard jumble of charms! I hand selected the ones featured here to design a playful statement necklace with LA-based designer Lisa Statt. It boasts the cutest eight charms from a malachite heart to an enamel shell, all colorful and adorable. You can find it here!

A cocktail party in Malibu last night served up the usual offerings: a glistening ocean backdrop, bite-sized cilantro-laced tacos, Oscar-winning guests and perfectly-distressed denim. One friend turned up in a new pair of slightly faded, nonchalantly-long Closed jeans--A.K.A., the right-this-minute silhouette (pictured above). I was not only psyched to source them this morning--but find them on sale at 25% off! And that's not all: I discovered lots of discounted summer-to-fall styles at 24S. (Use code CVD20 to save 20% on purchases $300 and up and CVD25 to save 25% on $500 and up.) Take for example, the cute lace up ballet flats by Augusta, below, along with these Miu Miu white jeans, these Valentino lace-up sandals, this Anine Bing blazer and these Chloe knee-high boots. Peruse the whole sale, which runs through August 24, here!

This hot summer's halftime is boiling down to the white midi skirt! The on-fire staple works equally well for dinners out as well as days at the beach. I love Alexa Chung's Doen, above, and stylist Sarah Clary's Hill Home, below, and how it's styled here, too. I also adore these from Khaite, Vince, and Toteme.

Fall's must-have flats are already stepping out and about. Mango's Alaia-inspired Mary Janes, above, and Dear Frances Khaite-like mesh ballerinas, below, are hitting my stride. I recently bought this sparkly pair by Steve Madden along with the $44(!) pearl slides, last pic, because summer's not over yet! I'm also eyeing these by Le Monde Beryl, Stuart Weitzman and Loeffler Randall.
