It’s official: fall – and its cooler weather! – has arrived. You can actually see the seasonal shift take place in my looks last month: beginning with cotton dresses (I love the autumnal palette in this Cara Cara one) and ending with a tip-toe into sweaters. It also helped that I traveled to cooler climates – first, NYC and Watch Hill, Rhode Island followed by a magical trip to Paris (still here!). This really gave me (and my wardrobe) a jump start to the new season.

Here, my five hero pieces from the month of September – plus a shopping list at the end!

1. A great pair of black pants is as indispensable to me as jeans. These pants from Frame check every box: comfortable, flattering, and (!), they show almost no wrinkles – even after being jam-packed in a suitcase.
2. Same goes for a pair of not-quite-pants (especially during the summer-to-fall transition) which is why I have the same Frame pants as above in the cream color.
3. It’s been a long time since I’ve found a sneaker (beyond my beloved New Balances) I love as much as I do Rothy’s RS02. These aren’t for runs on the treadmill but rather for wearing everywhere else – except the gym. Not only are they incredibly comfortable, but stylish, too. I love them so much that I bought two pairs – black and green.
4. My Blazè Milano blazer is an oldie-but-goodie. It’s easily my most-worn piece and worth every pretty penny.
5. Kule’s cotton sweaters are so good. They’re chunky enough that they feel cozy, but not so thick that they can’t be worn throughout the warmer months. I have this one in two colors.
