FALL SHORTS | PART 2 | DENIM

Photos via: Trendy Crew | Chiara Biasi | Free People Blog

Last week I shared some inspiration on how to transition shorts into fall for work or a dressier occasion. Now, here are three looks that show one of my favorite ways to transition denim shorts into fall, for a more casual look- Just throw on a basic tee or tank, a cozy cardigan sweater, a great pair of denim shorts, ballet flats or ankle boots and you're set!

How does Miroslava Duma manage to look this cute 24/7?! She had me at denim and stripes, but that Chanel jacket and bag, the cool mix of accessories and those Prada platform sandals bring it to a whole other level. Really love when a Chanel jacket is styled with a casual chic look.

CALIFORNIA COOL | MLLE MADEMOISELLE | FALL 2013 LOOKBOOK

Obsessing over the Mlle Mademoiselle Fall 2013 lookbook. The styling, the location, the film-like quality of the photos, the model's hair... don't even get me started on that leopard print jacket.

Their e-boutique launched today and all the California cool pieces from the lookbook are now available. So yea, my bank account is now in serious danger.

A TRUE CLASSIC

ph: Style Sightings + Tommy Ton // Style

I first posted this look from Samantha Traina some time back in 2009 and every summer since, I find myself going back to it. A true classic in my book. I am always re-inspired when I come across it and amazed at how it remains just as chic as the day I first laid eyes on it.

PUMP UP THE VOLUME

ph: Votre Beauté

Sometimes, I just want full-on bombshell hair and after seeing these two looks, I'm on the hunt for the perfect product to help me achieve this volume. Would love to try that up-do. I've heard a few people swear by Bumble and Bumble Thickening Hairspray, so I am thinking of giving it a try. I'm hair lazy, so hoping I don't have to do too much work to get the job done. Any other recs? On a side note, I'm loving the contrast mint baseball top and the coral leather jacket.
