As soon as the temperatures drop, I start reaching for the soft leathers, rich tones, and fun textures in my closet. The cute and classic box shape of this Fossil crossbody reminds me of a little schoolbag. It’s just big enough for some pencils and lip gloss (and let’s be real…these days, a portable charger), and just in time for classes to kick back up. Stay on time and on trend with these lovely fall pieces from Fossil, available at Zappos.

Abercrombie tee  |  Sandro Paris jeans  |  Rebecca Minkoff backpack  |  Rebecca Minkoff shoes

Rebecca Minkoff has done it again: the perfect flat slides that look like bedroom slippers made to hit the pavement. I love the femininity of this brand—the soft silhouettes and playful colors pair perfectly with edgy-rocker touches. Chunky silver hardware on the dove-grey Julian backpack toughens up this floral-white-tee and jeans look, perfect for the last few rays of this Indian summer we’re enjoying in Seattle. I can’t wait to wear it long into autumn, lightening up the deep reds, forest greens, and rich brown shades of fall.

Although hats are only a sometimes thing for me, you won’t get an outfit much more ‘truelane’ than this. A comfy tee, easy shoes and a big bag are key, but there’s nothing like the perfect pair of jeans to take an outfit from meh to a-maz-ing. This pair from AG comes at the perfect cropped length for me to show off a little ankle above a good summer shoe, but are in a gorgeous deep tone great for fall. Cuff them with some suede ankle booties and a huge sweater for cooler temperatures, and you’ve got another foolproof truelane look just in time for autumn.
