Things have been pretty crazy in the Shopbop studio as we gear up for fall arrivals. With all the running around, the sounds of stacked bracelets clatter in our very own stylish symphony. Karina wore a pair of mixed metal Giles & Brother bracelets to pump up her nautical-inspired, striped dress. The pop of bright leather and multi-chain links finish her look with signature Giles & Brother preppy-punk style.

Standout looks from the DKNY pre-fall collection. From left: 3/4 Sleeve Lace Dress, One Button Blazer & Pants, 3/4 Sleeve Floral Dress.

The little sister label of Donna Karan Collection, DKNY has always been a love letter to New York and its stylish denizens, taking Karan’s signature balance of comfort and luxury and turning it into flirty, feminine, and ultimately wearable pieces. For pre-fall, the femininity has been turned up in the form of delicate lace and playful flounces on frocks and separates that would find a home in any classic closet.

White button-downs, solid tops, neutral blazers: these are wardrobe staples we know and love. But adding a vibrant print to the rotation is a surprisingly versatile way to mix things up. To prove it, we set two of our stylists loose to put their signature spin on a bold Diane von Furstenberg blouse.

Pa: DVF always does great pieces and the awesome bold print of this blouse will easily transition from summer to fall. I love to play with contrasting prints and textures—animal print against the floral with leather—but still kept it classic with the blazer-and-skirt combo.
 
On Pa:
*Diane von Furstenberg New Whitman Blouse
*Tibi Blazer 
*Helmut Lang Skirt
*Alexander Wang Pumps

Rachel: I love the color combination on this blouse, it reminds me of prints I see when vintage shopping. It’s very flexible too. You can tuck it in to a high waist pencil skirt for a more dressed-up approach, or a pair it with your favorite denim and pumps for a casual Friday work outfit.

On Rachel:
*Diane von Furstenberg New Whitman Blouse
*DSQUARED2 Jeans
*Alexander Wang Bag
*Boutique 9 Pumps
*Karen Walker Sunglasses

Look 1: Alice + Olivia Jacket, Chaser tee, J Brand jeans, MM6 clutch, Steven flats. Look 2: Preen dress, Salvatore Ferragamo flats, Rebecca Minkoff clutch. Look 3: MM6 shirtdress, B-Low The Belt belt, Tory Burch bag, Rachel Zoe flats. Styled by Loni and Rachel.

I’m really not a heels girl, but I have a few dates coming up and I want to look polished and sexy. Do you have any tips for looking great while rocking flats?

Good for you for staying true to yourself! Fashion has never embraced flats as much as they have now. With the wide range of options, it’s easy to send the same styling messages as pumps.  

DRINKS & A MOVIE
A low-pressure movie date is the perfect opportunity to show off an edgier look. Studded red Steven flats have a polished pointed toe and an adventure-ready feel. A ladylike Alice + Olivia jacket, skinny jeans, and a graphic tee finish this easy, put-together look.

MEET THE PARENTS
Meeting the parents can be a stressful date. Make it easy on yourself by falling back on the classics. A Preen dress is ladylike and chic, and patent Salvatore Ferragamo flats are stylish, yet easy-going. Keeping a sense of humor is really important. Inject a peek of your fun personality with quirky jewelry or a Rebecca Minkoff snake-print clutch.

DAYTIME COFFEE DATE
For a causal daytime meet-up, you want to send a carefree, casual vibe. A loose MM6 Maison Martin Margiela shirtdress with a neutral belt will really make a pair of bold flats—Rachel Zoe has several colorful options—shine as the statement piece. Plus, wearing flats means you’ll be up for any post-coffee plans that might pop up.

An international background and years of global travels influence the classic, yet bold timepieces created by Sara Designs.  Crafted in luxe leathers, glittering crystals, and quality movement, Sara Designs watches carefully walk the line between oversized and refined. Worn alone, a Sara Designs timepiece cuts an elegant line on the wrist, enhancing any classic look. But these watches play equally well with an armful of bangles, anchoring a stack of mixed metals for a look that’s equal parts polished and punk.

Alicia here from Cheetah is the New Black! I'm a big fan of the drop-waist silhouette and thought it would be fun to style this little black dress multiple ways. This DVF number can easily be transformed from day to night, worn to the office as well as that special event, and will remain a favorite in your closet for years to come!

With the endless stream of amazing products that flow through the halls of Shopbop, when a single bag ends up on the arms of four, five, and six different women, there is reason to take notice. Enter the Madewell Transport Tote. Simple, yet chic, this tote works in almost every situation. It feels comfortable on the shoulder, and after a few uses has that perfect, aged leather slouch. I have the brown and am already eyeing up the black. Trust me when I say, you need this bag.

Between the cutouts and asymmetry on some of fashion’s finest designs this season, it can be a real challenge to find lingerie that works without being seen. Don’t get me wrong: we love the peek-a-boo trend here at Shopbop, but it’s simply not right for every look. That’s why I was pleasantly surprised to see how many of our lingerie brands (Calvin Klein, ResultWear, and Only Hearts to name but three) offered underthings that stand up to the season’s trickiest fashions.

THE ONE-SHOULDER DRESS & THE NOTCHED STRAPLESS DRESS

One Shoulder: Marchesa Notte Draped Dress, ResultWear Ava Bra, ResultWear Stella Slip.
Strapless: David Lerner Strapless Dress, Only Hearts Strapless Convertible Bra, Only Hearts So Fine Lace Thong.
