As we transition from summer to fall, look for shoes that combine elements from both seasons. For example, these Naya ‘Kasha’ pumps are a hot choice.
The two-tone brown leather makes these shoes a cool option for fall and the open-toe makes them workable for the end of summer. These pumps have plenty of interesting details, like the buckled strap across the vamp, lace-up front and recycled cork sole.
You can get these shoes right now at Nordstrom, priced at $160. Wear these lace up pumps with everything from a boho-chic skirt to cropped jeans.

Get ready for fall with some of the latest fashion trends.
Unexpected leather
Of course leather jackets and bags are hot for fall. But this year, we’ll see more leather in unexpected places. Plenty of leather A-line skirts and dresses are popping up in stores right now. Check out the leopard-print leather skirt from Rochas, See by Chloe leather trouser shorts or the red leather shift dress by Cacharel (pictured here).
Daytime glitz
Add a little shine to your everyday wardrobe with beads, sequins and other sparkling touches. TOMS casual slip-on shoes get a glitzy upgrade. You’ll love them in plum sequins or blue glitter. Available exclusively at Nordstrom, the TOMS Classic Sequins slip-ons are priced at $84.95. And with every pair of shoes purchased, TOMS gives a pair of shoes to a child in need.
Ladylike pumps
If you want to spring for a pair of designer shoes for fall, make them ladylike pumps. Lady-chic jackets and dresses are very trendy, so you need the right pair of shoes to go with them. We love the Manolo Blahnik “Menry” pumps. These d’Orsay suede pumps are accented with flirty scalloped trim and a little leather bow. Priced at $725, these pretty pumps come in grey, cream or brown.

 The safari trend was hot a few years back. And now, we are seeing the influence again in more subtle ways. Of course, animal print accessories are still all the rage. And so are safari jackets, hats and shorts.
We love these belted cargo pocket shorts with a little bit of a safari influence. These adorable shorts feature button flap top pockets on the rear and d-ring cargo pockets up front.
Part of the Baby Phat Summer Splash collection, these shorts available in brown or natural. These cute cotton shorts have a touch of spandex for a little stretch and extra comfort. Get them now at BabyPhat.com for $59. And when you buy two regularly priced items on the website, you get 40% off.

 Stripes and florals aren’t the only prints that are hot for summer. This season, look for abstract prints and geometric designs.
We love this geometric print shirtdress from Piazza Sempione. Though it has long sleeves, this dress can still be a summer favorite. Created from cotton with a touch of spandex, you can just roll up the cuffs and add a pair of white strappy sandals for a fresh summertime look.
When wearing a piece of clothing with menswear details, such as the spread collar and shirttail hemline, play up your makeup for a nice contrast of femininity.
Originally $895, this designer dress was already marked down to $537. But right now you can take an extra 25% off for a bottomline of $402.75.

 The full skirt was hot for spring and continues to be sizzling this summer. If you are going to wear a full skirt, make sure you do it right. Pick a fitted top and partner it with a full skirt (or a dress that is fitted in the bodice and has a full skirt).
Like with any skirt, you’ll look better if your full skirt’s hem ends at a slimmer part of your leg. So it shouldn’t be super short and hit mid-thigh or super long and hit mid-calf. Instead, a hemline that’s just a bit below or above the knee looks great.
We love the Kate Spade lilith striped skirt pictured here. This full A-line skirt has a high (but not too high) banded waist and box pleats. This full skirt is priced at $295 at Neiman Marcus.

This summer, getting into neon — but don’t over do it. Instead of wearing a neon yellow dress, add a single neon accessory to your white dress for daytime (or with a black dress at night).
 Neon accessories can come in the form of everything from bags to belts. Here are some of our neon favorites, just in time for summer.
Skinny patent belt
Add this skinny belt in neon orange or neon yellow to any outfit. This faux patent belt easily wipes clean and is accented by a polished metal buckle. $30 at Gap.
Cat-eye sunglasses
Chic and cheap, these mod cat-eye wayfarer style sunglasses by SO are available in neon pink or bright yellow. Protect your eyes and look cool too in these affordable shades. On Sale for $12 at Kohl’s.
Unisex watch
Unisex watches are hot right now. This summer, pick up a watch in a vibrant neon shade. The Nooka Unisex line features cool watches with artsy-modern style. This neon blue polyurethane watch will add some oomph to your everyday look. Get the Nooka Unisex Zub Zirc watch for work or for play. $130 at Endless.
Neon tote
Grab a colorful tote bag in neon pink to add some flair to your summer wardrobe. With a bright bag, the lines should be simple. This Vemo faux leather tote bag fits the bill. It’s roomy enough to hold all your summertime essentials. $52 at YESSTYLE.

 This summer, if you want to add just one piece to your wardrobe, make a breezy, swingy white dress.
Look for a dress that isn’t too long or too short — if it hits at the knee or just below, it’s perfect. The swingy shape makes it ideal for parties or it can even be used as swimsuit cover-up.
We love the tiered halter dress by Theory ($295) pictured here. This pretty dress can be worn halter style, or the thin straps can be tied in a bow on the bustine to make it strapless.
You’ll also adore the Lauren by Ralph Lauren ‘Esmeralda’ Linen Sundress ($158). This white linen dress features a full, gently pleated skirt and eyelet embroidery trim. It’s available at Nordstrom in sizes 8-16.
