My own daughters have such fun personalities. One minute they’re dressing like princesses, then the next they’re out in the yard looking for lizards. They’re creative, confident and respectful, and that probably explains why they both seem to love the aesthetic of GapKids X ED, a limited edition collaboration between Gap and Ellen DeGeneres. With empowering quotes and fun graphics, the entire line was designed to support and encourage young girls to take pride in their own interests and abilities. The GapKids X ED line also benefits Girls Inc. and their Economic Literacy program. Read more about the collaboration and see the entire line at gap.com.

Fall trend to love: denim dresses

≪ Previous: Introducing GapKids X ED styles for girls

While I’m definitely looking forward to rocking some denim pants this fall season with my new booties, I’m also looking forward to the new denim trend — denim dresses. Casual and stylish, a denim dress is a fun piece to help you transition to cooler weather. Wear it with a pair of booties or if it’s sleeveless, pair it with a long sleeve tee to balance out a chilly weather day.

It may not be time for a jacket right now but that first frosty morning will be here soon. Rather than rush and grab for something–anything–warm when that day comes, I suggest you check out some of the great trench coats available. Trenches are classics to be sure but they’re also very “in” for fall 2015. If you don’t own any trench coats, try a style in basic beige or olive. If you already have one of these pieces, however, this should be the year you try an updated style like the black drapey trench of the gorgeous blush trench coat below.

There’s nothing more comfortable than wearing an old t-shirt around the house but since that’s not really the look we want everyone to see us wearing, a shirtdress is the next best choice for comfort. Loose around the body, the shirtdress is a great look to transition to fall weather. You can pair it with tights, booties and a long-sleeve shirt on a cold day or if sun is in the forecast, pair it with flats and a tank underneath to keep you cool. A shirtdress is a versatile piece for the coming season that will take you from casual days to dinner without even a change of shoes.

If the thought of a mini bag gives you heart palpitations (seriously, how are you going to fit everything you need?), take heart because chic backpacks are huge for fall 2015. Like your favorite high-school pack, you’ll love the extra space for need-now things like files, a laptop or even baby’s things. Unlike your school bag, however, the best fall backpacks come in rich suedes and leathers (real or faux), making them perfect for work or weekend.

One of the best thing about the fall season, besides pumpkin spice lattes, is wearing boots. However, the fall weather can be unpredictable and wearing a full set of knee-high boots is out of the question if the weather is still hot out. Booties is the perfect compromise to wear something stylish into the fall season that is just as much of a statement as your favorite pair of tall boots. Pair any of these booties with your favorite boyfriend jeans and a simple blouse and you’ll be on trend.

Today marks the unofficial last day of summer and it’s time to bid adieu to long, hot summer days and nights and welcome the crisp fall weather. We should start packing away our tank tops and flip-flops in favor of boyfriend jeans, booties and ponchos. Yes, the poncho is the “it” sweater of the season and is the perfect way to get the stylish layered look. Throw it over a graphic tee and jeans for a casual look or dress it up with a black jumpsuit and heels for a night out with friends.

As much as we would love to have a new wardrobe every season, it’s not really practical. However it’s easy to mix-and-match your seasonal wardrobe staples with the current season’s on trend accessories to make the look current. This fall season it’s all about the long pendant necklace. Add a long pendant with a chambray button-down and an A-line skirt for a casual work-day look or dress it up with a black jumpsuit for a night on the town — either way, it will look on trend.

If you’re looking to supercharge your skincare this fall, sheet masks are a smart option. Hugely popular in Korea, these serum-soaked cotton masks have finally become widely-available here in the states. No matter your skin’s needs or challenges–brightening, soothing, hydrating, clarifying–there’s a formulation practically guaranteed to solve it. Although sheet masks won’t replace a step in your regimen, they’re so worth the few extra minutes.

One of my favorite things about the changing of seasons is getting to update my purse. While I tend to carry bigger bags because of all the items I carry for me and my kids, the roomy satchel that is on trend for fall is one of my favorites. From basic black and tan handle bags to those that have texture and bright colors to match the season, find a bag that you’ll love carrying this fall season and that you’ll carry on into the new year and beyond.

For fall and winter–with all its rainy, snowy, cold days–I don’t mind splurging a bit on versatile, high quality boots. Chelsea boots for kids absolutely top my list of must-haves for all ages. School uniform or not, these slip-on styles generally work perfectly on school days. When the weekend comes, Chelsea boots for kids are absolute no-brainers. They look adorable with skirts and tights, jeans or chinos, making them fantastic choices for every kid.

One of my favorite things about fashion is to see how fashions and trends from the past get modern updates. This fall season, it’s all about 70′s fashion from fringe to flared jeans to tie-neck blouses. The tie-neck blouse is an essential for the fall season that can be worn a zillion different ways. For casual days, pair it with skinny jeans and slip-on sneakers or for a business meeting jazz it up with an A-line skirt and ankle booties. You can even wear it for cocktails by throwing it over a black jumpsuit and heels.

My last pregnancy happened to coincide with the height of skinny jeans. Basically, my choices for denim were skinny, ultra-skinny and maternity jeggings. While I love a great skinny jean, maternity flare jeans are so flattering and comfortable. If you happen to be shopping the maternity department these days, rejoice because you really do have options! In every wash and every price range, there are some truly amazing options…just see the maternity flare jeans below.

With summer officially over, it’s time to break out the autumnal nail colors. While you certainly can’t go wrong with a deep burgundy or rich rust, violet nail polish is one of the season’s hottest hues for tips and toes. Unlike spring’s candy-esque purple polishes, fall’s violet is much deeper and more saturated. Even lighter tones (like the uber-affordable Wet n Wild option below) tend toward a warmer, more vibrant shade, making them right at home with sweaters and boots. Spend $1 or $50…there’s a gorgeous violet nail polish option for everyone this fall.

We all know that the accessories we add really make the outfit. In some cases it can be what takes it from “ho-hum” to “wow” and for the fall 2015 season, you’ll also want accessories that will add warmth on chilly days. So this season, take a cue from the runways and add a plaid fringed scarf with your everyday jeans and sweaters to make your outfit perfect for the fall season.
