I love summer more than anyone I know, and even I am starting to get a little tired of summer fashion. And while I’m still not ready for the temperatures to drop, I am coming around to the idea of adding a few essential fall pieces to update my wardrobe for the next season. Plaid, velvet, leopard print…this season’s trends are all about standing out. And after spending way too many hours stalking my new faves on Shopbop, here are my top picks for fall essentials – from power suits, to chic everyday dresses.
