This skirt has a slight drop-waist feel to it, or maybe tulip? Well, I like it and it's only $80 at Yoox in gray or black (gray is in for Fall).
NOTE: I am moving(!) tomorrow and Thursday, so there may be a significant lack of posts :(. So here are some sites that will hopefully keep you entertained!

Are socks going to replace leggings as the way to stay warm(ish) while wearing a skirt in the Winter??? Either way, I love tall socks, I wear them under pants since I get cold so easily. Buy these at Active Endeavors for $20.
Bright colors are remaining in this Fall, and this top is beautiful, fun and definitely bright! I like the sleeves and the fun wrap style and it's on super sale, just $39 at Label Spree.
What a very chic pair of shoes that are perfect for even the most conservative office! Buy at Jildor, originally $275 but marked down to $179. There's also a white & tan version on the site.
This beautiful satin dress is half off at Net-A-Porter, only $120. How can you possibly resist?!?!
There is no place more perfect for preppy shopping than J. Crew. I love this sweater, it looks like the ultimate thing to snuggle up in once Fall starts. Buy it for $128.
Another bag created to replace the millions of plastic bags thrown out each year, the Baggu Bag is cute, comes in a zillion colors, folds up all tiny and is super strong and stretchy! You can buy one for $8 or in bulk (presents for all your friends!) at Baggu.
I recently read about the rough, uncut diamond trend at the WSJ and I'm desperately looking for a place that you can buy them online. 
I love this ring by Diamond in the Rough, but, while you can buy them in store at a few places like Bergdorf & Neimans, they don't seem to have them online!
The best I could find was the De Beers Talisman Collection, which uses small rough diamonds, but nothing really stand-out. I'll be sure to keep my eyes open for you though!
I will post more later, but here's one Panama hat (a straw fedora) which is the ultimate accessory for this Summer! I own one in black, so hopefully I'll be able to get away with wearing it in the late Fall, we shall see. Get this beautiful and simple one at Amazon for only $20.
These have brilliant details on the side vamp (that's the front toe area of the shoe)! Plus, eve though they're on huge, super sale, there's pairs available in almost any size. Buy them at ShopBop for $168, down from $335.
I've been checking out Erica Aneburg's jewelry line, and I really love her stuff! She definitely rocks the edgy and dark vibe, though some of her stuff is sweet too. And remember that gun necklace I was obsessed with awhile ago? Well, she has a version for only $112. In fact, she has more than one in case you prefer an AK47 or Uzi. She also has grenades, knifes... just go check it out!
Down to $59 from $90, this tee has a retro sex appeal to it that I love. Buy it at Intermix in ivory or coral.
Remember the gray and gold version of this tank dress I posted about? Well, I like this one much better, I think the black on black just looks better and more versatile. Buy this at Queen Bee for $198.
I'm often drawn to girly details, as long as the piece isn't over the top. This is a perfect example, taking a simple tunic and adding a sweet ruffle. Buy this top at Couture Candy for $114.

Everyone should own one pair of sleek equestrian boots since they always seem to be in at least once every three years. Here's a few options in as wide of a pirce range as I could find (boots are expensive!)
Plaid this Fall is a mix of dark and bright and this skirt is a perfect example. Very cute and undeniably schoolgirl, buy this at Victoria's Secret for $60.
Kate Spade Friends and Family Sale!
Save an extra 20% off sale items until tomorrow, Sat 28, by using the code "summer07" or by printing out this coupon and brinigng it in-store.
A polished wrap top with stylish bamboo print. Looks like something you could easily wear to work, or happy hour or just running errands. Buy at Planet Funk for $54.
Made out of very comfy material, this could be used for lounging around or worn out on the town with heels. Buy them for $68 at Style Scene.
This ankle boot has a sexy cut and a vintage-inspired style that I love. Buy at Lollipop London for the sale price of £90.00 or about $180.
I'm still on a quest to find more Summer tops to wear to work. This one is great because the cut is heat friendly and still conservative, and the print is creative and fun! I am a little worried that it's too sheer, but that's nothing a cami won't fix! Buy it on sale at Active Endeavors for $105.
This is a great bag that, at first glance, looks classic and tailored. But then you notice the cute details, like the zipper pockets, and you realize it's still fun and unique. Buy it at Luna Boston for the sale price of $120.

Get this 100% cashmere cowlneck sweater for $131 and be the envy of all your friends! The back is stunning, just click on my image or go to Fashion Chateau to see it for yourself.
Most of the wrap dresses I've seen have been knee length. But if you're in the mood to wear a universally flattering dress to a festive party, get this mini version by Lewis Cho. Buy in emerald green or black at Tobi for the amazing sale price of $99.
While people are saying that wide-leg pants will be in for Fall, it seems to me that everything is up in the air as skinny, wide and flared duke it out. But instead of missing out, just buy a pair of pants that are cute AND affordable. Get these trousers at La Redoute for $70.
Get yourself a Puella grab bag with 10 items - camis, tops, dresses and the like. A retail value of $700 to $800, it only costs $150 at Puella Online!
Most of my readers know that I hate thong sandals and I'm constantly looking for cute flats that won't hurt between my toes. Here's a dressy pair by Stuart Weitzman that costs $198.
Of course that price tag might put you off. In that case, here's a pair of very similar sandals by Nine West for only $73.
I love it when a piece of jewelry mixes gold and silver together! If you wear this ring, you could also wear silver earrings and a gold necklace and no one could fault you! Buy at Revolve Clothing for the sale price of $42.
This morning I was complaining on how I didn't have any Summer work tops to wear. This would make a good addition to any closet and it's only $60 at Blondette.

This is the ultimate comfy skirt. Something you can wear to the office and yet it feels almost like you're wearing sweatpants, I want to own one in every color. You can get one at Old Navy in pink, purple, blue, red, brown, gray and black for just $15.
This is a good Summer to Fall piece, perfect if you want to keep your torso warm and your arms cold ;). Or you could layer it over a long-sleeved tee for a very cute Kate Moss look. Buy at TopShop for £35.00 or about $70.
Booties are still in for Fall, and this is a good pair to buy since they're affordable and cute. Their toes are perfectly shaped... I've discovered that my pointy toe booties look like witch shoes. Get these at Piperlime for $99.
This skirt is a great color (what is my weird obsession with green clothing?) and a really fantastic shape. Buy it atone of my favorite labels, Tulle, in green, red, black or gray for just $58.
While the the print of this dress is mod and eye-catching, the colors are sedated enough to make it work without being over the top. I love this argyle sweater tank dress, but is it really worth $380 at Satine? I feel like if I could just find the material that I could make this no problem.
A very cute necklace that's not dark and edgy like I usually post but still a little off the beaten path. You can buy this at Indie Shopper for $90.
There are tiny details to this blouse that give it a girly touch that's subtle and balanced with the black. The ruffled sleeves are fun and not overdone, and peter pan collars are always very sweet. Buy at ShopRapunzels.com for $158.
While I really don't like the belt on this jecket, you could easily switch it out if you don't like it. But I do like the color and I adore the cap sleeves–it's rare to see that style on a blazer. Buy it at ModCloth for $48.
This is a very airy top the color of mist. I love the girly bow, thought he site describes it as a giant bowtie. Buy it at BlueBee for $209.
A very cheeky bag that you probably don't want to take to the airport! It's light-hearted and cute and reusable and just $12 at Perpetual Kid.
white and pale-colored Summer dresses are still a fantastic buy, even if you only have a month or two left to wear them. Of course, when they cost only $48 at Style Violet, it's an even better buy!
Goodness, I heard about this but I'm shocked to see that they're already available. Costing $15 to $50, buy yourself one from Totes.
