Dakota Fanning looked ADORABLE at the New Moon premiere in this strapless Valentino! I am living for this dress! I love that she's so young but still has a really great sense of style... and keeps it age appropriate (Taylor Momsen- I'm looking at you...) To die. I'm MAYBE not loving the shoe choice- but I can deal with it. What do you think?

UPDATE: Just heard that the dress is made of LEATHER. Mind. Blown. This dress is incredible!

As a chill settles into the air and the leaves start to change an age-old question pops up- "What do I do with all my fave summer pieces?!" My go-to trend this summer was definitely the jump suit and as the weather turns instantly shorts UNfriendly, I've been looking for ways to fall-ize my jumpsuits. Check out these easy tweaks to make your summer jumpsuit winter-appropriate.

1. Tights.

A pair of tights will instantly add a bit of polish to a jumpsuit and protect against a chill. Try a brightly colored opaque pair for a little kick or keep it classic in black. If you're REALLY feeling adventurous, layer a pair of fishnets over an opaque black for a funky, downtown texture.

2. Throw on an oversized grandpa cardi or a boyfriend blazer

Play with proportions and throw on something oversized to simultaneously keep you toasty AND on trend. For a more polished look, keep your pieces monochromatic. To add a bit more of a kick, choose a piece in a different but complementary shade.

Welcome to my first Styling Q's Post! I LOVE LOVE LOVE solving styling dilemmas and will be solving yours as they come up! My first email came from a pal who 's asking two HUGE questions. I'll tackle 'em one at a time! Let's dive in:

"My closet consists of all solid-colored clothes and I'm looking to spice it up. And 2 - If I end up only buying one article of clothing on Friday (unlikely), what do you think is a Fall must-have?  Keep in mind, I'll be rocking this in Miami!!!  We don't really have a Fall. :( "

The good thing about having a closet full of solid colors is that you can re-use pieces all the time and it doesn't look like you're wearing the same thing by just doing a few easy tweaks. Here are 5 ways to spice up your "basic" outfit:

 

 

 

 

 

As for the second part of the question? My NUMBER ONE FAVE FALL TREND? Isn't it obvious?? I'm obsesssssed with peep toe booties. Here are a few of my faves:

I'll admit... The City is sort of a guilty pleasure for me. And while I'm alternately loving and loathing it  as I watch, I can't tear myself away. Mostly because I work in the fashion industry and interned and freelanced in the fashion department at a major women's magazine and the fakery really just drives me batty.

Let's start with my Olivia rant. I adore her, I do. She's always flawless looking and so polished and chic. Her hairstyles make me want to grow out my bangs for a second. But I HATE her attitude! Last week, when she said to Erin "If you don't like it, you can do it yourself?!" WHAT WAS THAT? That is just so unacceptable and rude, I can't even deal. It would never fly at a mag. Not to mention the fact that when you pull for a TV segment, photo shoot, ANYTHING, there's always a MINIMUM of 2 or 3 racks of alternates, selections and you ALWAYS have all the right sizes when you're dealing with models and girls. Her excuse about "there not being anything" is a total load of CRAP. I speak from experience. This week wasn't much better. More excuses, more attitude. I love me some Erin!!! She's fantastic and I love that she puts Olivia in her place every single time. Whatever, from the looks of the previews Olivia's bad behavior will NOT go unnoticed. By the way, I have to add how much I adoreeeee Joe Zee. He's so fantastic and his outfits were awesome. Love him.

Whit and Roxy

What is UP with Roxy's eyebrows? They're constantly distracting me all episode long. I am not her biggest fan. Last week she just rubbed me the wrong way the whole time. First with her TERRIBLE interview at People's Rev (which in real life, she'd NEVER have gotten the job between her bashing of a former employer, cursing, calling herself a bitch and just her general demeanor. Oh yeah, and the way she talked crap about Whit?) THEN the whole party fiasco was just... ugh. Who does that when they're staying at someone's place as a guest? SO unchic. This week she was stepping over Kelly Cutrone's toes and just generally trying to take control of everything. Poor Whit got the short end of the stick and got stuck with the blame for not bringing any clamps after Kel specifically told them to bring them. At least Kelly stuck it to Roxy and told her off for trying to go over her head. I love Kelly Cutrone. Loved Whit's braids at the end.

Can't wait for next week! What did YOU think of The City? Who's your fave? Least Fave?

Ok, confession: I am totally obsessed with Vanessa Hudgens. I LOVE HER. And I realize that as an adult woman and not a 9 year old girl, this is a ludicrous statement. But I admit it- I love her style. She's always dressed fabulously and her hair always looks incredible. And, hello, she has Zac Efron as arm candy! Please... The girl has obviously got it going on. I love that she never really plays it safe and always is right on-trend.

Some trademark 'Vanessa-isms': boho chic; floaty, chiffon tops, killer medallion necklaces, ripped jean shorts, skinny dark denim, metal aviators, fringed EVERYTHING, loaded with vintage feeling jewels, fabulous wavy hair!

Here are some of my fave Vanessa moments:
