The zipper makes a pair of everday black flats a lot less basic and a whole lot cooler.

1. Coach printed silk dress,
2. Sugar Bean rose gold lip studs, 
3. Chanel vintage bag,
4. Nine West zippered flats, 

An unconventional mix of sequins, pleating and an asymmetrical hemline knocks this one out of the ballpark.

There's something very Celine about this clean and elegant leather clutch. When monogrammed (doable!), it's very Marlien. And it's 25% off.

Classic, Chanel-ish, couldn't be cuter.

Meet the Gucci Spring 2015 denim dress that will undoubtedly spawn a million spin-offs. (Think Zucci, I mean, Zara!) Some fashion insiders are already ahead of the game, as they trotted out their true blues during New York Fashion Week. Here are some current cute options in the market from , , , , , and .

With all the stripes coming down the Spring 2015 runways, Topshop was smart to re-issue this previously sold-out (see last image below) this time in black and white. P.S. It's the contrasting seams and rounded hem that make this dress super flattering and chic.

This tough-looking bootie entertains the inner rebel in me.

I am a sucker for charm bracelets, and this one had me sold on first glimpse.

Fall is calling for mod (mini) dresses, and they're exactly what I want to wear right now, while the weather is still warm. They're also fun, flirty and throw-on-and-go easy. Come wintertime, these little frocks will look cute with opaque tights. (Miroslava Duma, above, is wearing a past season lace lovely by Marni. You can find its brethren .) Inspired by the Fall 2014 offerings from primo designers like , , and , I'd go for a dress with a graphic print like this , or standout embellishment such as this , and/or a sleek and simple . I also adore these lovelies from , , and .

Evidently, I'm in denial that summer's just about over, as I snapped up this darling embroidered throw-it-over-a-wet-swimsuit . But I am also thinking it will work like magic on warm winter getaways (that I am already plotting!)--and for many summers to come. Happy long weekend!
