The 10 Essential Items You Need For Fall

0:00The following podcast is a Dear Media Production.

0:06Hey, everyone. Welcome back to another episode of Let's Get Dressed. It's your host, Liv Perez. Happy September. It's here. I can't believe it. September came so fast. I cannot believe summer went by that quickly. I love September. I will probably say that it's my favorite month of the year. As a kid, I remember loving back to school. I loved going to Staples and getting all my stuff ready for the new school season. And September to me just kind of feels like a fresh start. It feels like we're like gearing up for Q4, like the final round of the year. And for me, September is always such a busy month.

0:40It's fashion month. So I'll be in New York City for a few days next week. And then I'll also be at Paris Fashion Week at the end of the month. I also have two weddings this month, two really good friends of mine. So I've been like deep in like wedding guest styling and looking for great dresses for those occasions. And then of course, all the other things that a normal month brings. So it's a hectic month, but I always love fashion month. I love being able to travel and I've said it before, but it feels kind of like summer camp. I have so many friends in the fashion industry that live all over the world.

1:11And it's that one moment where we all kind of get to see each other and be together over that one thing that we love. I'm so lucky that so many of my like quote unquote colleagues and people I work with in the industry are some of my really close friends. So it is so much fun to be able to be doing something we all love and also be able to like connect on that and travel the world together. I always feel very, very lucky anytime I get to be included in anything for fashion month. So if you're interested in seeing all that, I always say follow me on Instagram, which I'm sure most of you do, but I'm at Liv Perez on Instagram, at Liv period Perez on TikTok.

1:44And I'll be, of course, covering all the fun things. I'm also most excited for fashion month because I feel like there are so many people right now who I like love to follow their style in like the pop culture space. And I always get excited to see like, who's going to be at what show? Like what show is Charlie XCX going to be at? Like, is she going to be at Balenciaga? Where is she going to be? Same thing with like Chapel Rhone. Where is she going to be? I always get so excited to see that stuff and see what brands really resonate with so many artists and people that I love. And of course, the other thing I love about September is that we start to add a few more layers into the wardrobe.

2:19I know that it sounds weird being from California, but I don't really love summer fashion. It's not really like the thing I gravitate towards. I'm always in layers. Like I'm always in a sweater and I just feel really comfortable in that world. I like to like layered textures and patterns and like I like a look that's a little bit more complex. In the summer, I feel like I always gravitate towards like a good tea and jeans and then really lean into my accessories to make an outfit feel different. And with fall winter, there's so much more to play with, like coats, blazers, jackets, like all those things just make it a little bit more exciting for me.

2:51And I actually was going to leave this episode for a few more weeks from now, but I decided to post a mood board that I've been working on for like the things I'm eyeing for fall, things I'm excited to wear. And so many of you engaged with it. Like you saved it, shared it, commented, DMed me being like, I cannot wait to wear X, Y, Z. that I was like, okay, everyone, it seems like everybody's sharing the sentiment that they're excited. Let's expedite this episode a little bit. Before we dive in really quickly, per usual, I want to let you guys know where everything I'm mentioning right now is shoppable.

3:25If you go on my Instagram or at my TikTok bio, you'll see a link that says shopmy.us backslash live Perez with two Vs. On that link, you'll always be able to find everything I'm talking about. there's a fall must-haves shelf on there and if you click on that everything I'm talking about is going to be there again that's s-h-o-p-m-y dot u-s backslash l-i-v-v-p-e-r-e-z and you'll be able to find everything I'm talking about there also if you can't find it just in case as a backup there will always be a link to this shop in the description of these episodes okay let's start with number one and that is what I think is undoubtedly the color of the season I've been seeing it all over recently, and that's burgundy.

4:08And I actually think what I like most about this color of the season is I'm not seeing it in a very obvious way. Like I'm not seeing a monochrome burgundy look. I'm not seeing a burgundy dress. I'm seeing it in little accents as the pop of color in a look. And I really like it so much as kind of like the it color right now because it's actually really easy to transition from summer to fall outfits. You can get just like one good burgundy sweater or maybe like a burgundy vest and still be wearing that right now, maybe with like a white linen skirt that you have from your summer wardrobe and slowly transition that.

4:45So say you're still in an area that's quite warm, you could wear a great burgundy vest with a little white like linen skirt and then in a few weeks be able to wear that same vest with like a dark pair of denim jeans and really like kind of lean into more fall wardrobe when the time comes around. I actually saw someone like had burgundy nails the other day and I was like, oh, even that is the most like inexpensive way to incorporate it into your wardrobe and feel like you're transitioning to fall style a little bit. I have had the same nails, you guys, for three years. I've never changed the color of my nails.

5:17I always get the same nails every month. I get a Russian mani, strawberry milk, oval shaped nails. It's like my neutral. And I honestly, I feel a little bit tempted to switch my color. But with a Russian mani, I do them monthly and I feel like I can't commit to that for a full month. I like like my neutral color too much that I know goes with everything. But if you aren't doing Russian mani, recommend a little burgundy nail. I love that touch and that little accent as you're starting to transition for fall. I really feel like this color kind of started to seep into the fashion industry a year ago with the Gucci and Cora show that happened in Milan last September, 2023.

5:52The entire color was this like oxblood burgundy red from miniskirts to bags to loafers to even changing the color of like the actual Gucci bag itself when you go shopping in the store. It's that like blood red burgundy color. And I feel like since then, since that collection hit the stores last spring, it's really started to trickle down and has very swiftly made its way to the it color. There are two really seamless ways that I would say if maybe the color feels slightly intimidating to you, two really easy ways to incorporate them into your wardrobe right now. One, I would say a bag. Obviously, if you have a bigger budget and you're looking to invest in a great bag, all of the major designers are doing that oxblood burgundy bag right now from Loewe to Kate to the Rowe.

6:39You can pretty much find one anywhere. And there are also a ton of more affordable options as well. there's a really great burgundy shoulder bag from mango that's about 70 and then if you're looking for maybe like a bucket tote that you can take to the office the essential bucket tote from madewell is about 180 and you guys know that if you are looking for really good bag dupes i always say go check anthropology they make some of the best bag dupes that i see out on the market from the monster gabrielle bag to even like the woven bags from bottega veneta so i always check there if i'm looking for something that's on the more affordable end.

7:16And if you're looking for a top, I would either say go for a great burgundy sweater, really simple, easy layering piece, or I would say go for a vest. I love a vest for transitional dressing. I feel like from spring to summer, summer to fall, it's just that really great layering piece that you can wear underneath a blazer if it's cold outside or take that blazer off if it happens to be warmer during the day. There are two that I love. There's one from Gap that actually is a full-on suit. So if you want to get the matching pants. That would be really cute too. It's the long line twill vest and then a little bit more of an investment top from ALC.

7:49The Woodson 2 tailored vest is so chic and beautiful. Also comes with a pair of pants and would be really great to like wear to the office or even like drinks with your friends. Both great pieces. I love this color. I want to wear this with like a chocolate brown bag and like a little sweater over my shoulders and just feel so fall. So I'm so here for this color. Okay, next one, denim of the season. I say this every single fall. So if you listen to last year's, you know what I'm going to say. And that's dark wash denim. Dark wash denim to me has actually become like my year round denim. And that's because I love how elevated it looks.

8:25If you're someone who wants to elevate just like even your jeans and a white tee and you feel like, you know, the classic true blue or the light blue jeans doesn't feel where you want it to be, highly, highly, highly recommend switching those jeans out for a darker pair. My absolute favorite pair are from Tibby. They're the slouchy carpenter jeans. They're about$380. And I also really love a dark jean that's a carpenter pant as well, like has the pockets in the back, has like the loopholes on the side. I just think that it's so easy to wear that with a neutral top and have that be the focus of an outfit.

8:58So I love those. They have them available on Shopbop right now. They're in my store. but you can also get dark wash denim anywhere right now. Like check out Levi's, check out Revolve, any of those places where it's easier for you to shop. I definitely recommend doing that. I actually really like to buy denim off of Revolve because I'll buy a few pairs and make sure I find like my perfect fit at home and then be able to return the ones that don't work for me. So recommend doing that so that you find your pair that you absolutely love and fit with everything in your wardrobe. While we're on the subject of fall dressing, I'm not just going to give you guys recommendations just for us adults, but also for your little ones as well.

9:33I don't have kids yet, hopefully one day, but I have a ton of nieces and nephews. So I'm always on the hunt for very cute clothes for them, which is why I always turn to Posh Peanut. I'm obsessed with Posh Peanut. It's just the cutest place ever. And especially right now, they have the cutest clothes for back to school, Halloween, or as they like to call it, Poshoween. So they have so many different cute clothes for your little ones. And what I love most about them is they are made from the softest material. So kids love them and they also stretch as your kids grow. It's actually made from a viscose from bamboo and it's four times stretchier than cotton.

10:13They're made to last. They're loved by all the parents that I know and approved by kids as well. It's also breathable and chemical free, which means that they're delicate on all of your baby's sensitive skin. Posh Peanut makes really thoughtfully crafted, beautiful and stylish clothing for kids. All of it's designed in-house and they even have some items from your favorite brands such as Hot Wheels, Disney, Hello Kitty, and Barbie. It's made for infants and kids, but they also have sizing for all you moms and dads if you want the whole family to match. And if you're not a parent like me, consider this just the perfect gift for any little one in your life.

10:47Right now, Posh Peanut is offering our listeners 20 % off your first order with promo code LGD. Go to poshpeanut.com slash LGD and use promo code LGD for 20 % off your first order. Got to make sure the kids look cute too, guys. That's poshpeanut.com slash LGD promo code LGD. Okay, the next one you guys are kind of feral for, which I love and I'm so excited about. Literally every single response to my mood board, whether it was like a DM or in like my question box that I put up was how excited all of you are to wear suede. My honest take on suede, I feel like there's been a really big trickle down effect from at the top of this year when I did a podcast episode with Gab Waller.

11:32I asked her what the bag of the year is. Like what is everybody lusting after? Cannot keep up with demand. Highest DM in her inbox right now for her to get. And it was the Margo bag from The Row. This bag has like a bunch of different sizes, a bunch of different colors. And I think the one that was one of the top selling for her was a suede. And it was a suede brown. There was also like a suede taupe. And since then, I feel like everybody has silently been waiting for fall to happen to wear suede in like full effect. Even now, the next two items that I'm going to tell you guys about, suede jacket and a suede bag.

12:12And I think it has come all from that Margo bag and has just trickled down. I love suede. I always get a little nervous, though, when it comes into popular culture because I feel like people automatically are like, OK, the trend for this season is Western. And Western does feel a little bit trendy to me. It's why I don't gravitate towards it. I do think that Western dressing is inherently a part of the fabric of American dressing. I think of Ralph Lauren, which is so indicative of how Americans get dressed and how it has so many of those Western undertones. But it's not something I'm reaching for in my closet on a day-to-day basis.

12:47And I feel like sometimes it can feel a little costumey when I'm putting it on. So it's not something I gravitate towards. However, I'm not here to yuck your yum. I feel like Western is trending everywhere. I even went on Mango this morning and there was like an entire section dedicated to Western dressing. So if that's your thing, please do it. Bring out the fringe, bragging about the studs. I'm so here for it. You know me. I say dress how you want, dress for how you feel, and nothing else matters. But suede is definitely everywhere, especially the suede jacket. The one thing I will say about suede, though, that kind of drives me a little nuts is it's a lot of the suede pieces are investment pieces because faux suede or like suede that is like, you know, it's like imitation suede almost in a way I've always had really negative experiences with in the sense that it will like rub off on things around me.

13:38So for example, like I bought a suede jacket once from a vintage store. And again, with vintage, you never really know where something's from. And the suede rubbed off all on this white bag that I was wearing. And I was wearing like a chocolate brown suede jacket and like it fully was on the white bag. So just one thing to pay attention to as you are investing in suede pieces this season, if you are getting them from, you know, the Mangoes, Zara's, H &M's of the world, just pay attention. Maybe look on Amazon for like a suede protectant so that the fabric doesn't mess up any items that you're wearing with it.

14:08I'm always very cognizant of suede for that reason, but it's kind of hard to resist. It's such like a sexy, warm, like it's the perfect fabric for fall. So I'll be wearing it and I'm going to be recommending a few pieces for you guys. So let's start with a few suede jackets. First, there's one from Veda that I have my eye on that I actually need to take the plunge on. If you're not familiar with Veda, it is a sustainable brand that's sold on Reformation. And the one that I have my eye on is the Veda Reed jacket. It is so cute. I'm obsessed with it and I definitely need it for all the fall things.

14:39It is an investment. It's around$500 and they have it in two different colors. There's like a color they call Parmesan suede, which how can I not get a Parmesan jacket? And then they also have like a beautiful chocolate brown color as well. This is to me like the quintessential suede jacket. It's colorless and it has little silver buttons up the center. I feel like with this jacket, you can go either way. You can get like your fit to size and have it fit you perfectly. Or you can even get it a little oversized and have it be a little bit more of that oversized fit, which I love for fall. I really love this with like a T and jeans, obviously, if you're looking to keep it super simple.

15:17But I also love the idea of pairing like a light caramel brown sweater underneath my like dark wash jeans under this, maybe a pair of brown boots. This feels like the perfect jacket that's going to carry you all through fall before winter. I also was on Banana Republic Factory earlier today and found an amazing trench coat that is vegan suede. Actually, it is like the perfect tan suede trench coat for$120. It's currently on sale, currently 50 off. I would 100 % wear this with like black jeans, a black turtleneck. This is really that like quintessential suede trench coat. They have it in regular sizes and petite sizes as well.

15:54Okay. And as I mentioned before, number four, of course, is suede bags. And just a quick style tip. I wouldn't recommend wearing the suede jacket with the suede bag. I really think what's amazing about suede is that it's such an interesting, specific texture that you should always have it be that one center point of your outfit. You don't want two like suede competing moments, in my opinion. So pick one and run with it. I just got a suede bag that I'm so in love with. I traveled with it last week. It's from a brand called Flattered. It's currently sold out in the color that I have, which is the brown, but they also have it in black and so many other colors.

16:29I feel like every single brand I love right now is doing the suede bag. They're literally everywhere. So I'm here to tell you my favorite ones, but know that you can probably go on whatever website you love to shop at and find a really good one right now. I am loving the Patrizia Bowling Bag from Reformation right now. I feel like they're always so on it with things that are trendy and they actually have it in two sizes. They have it in a medium size, which is$4.48. And then they also have it in an oversized, which is$5.98. But I'm like obsessed with the chocolate suede one that they have. Veronica Beard also came out with bags this year and they have a really good suede tote bag that's great for every day.

17:08Those are also in the$600 range, but I found a few others that I'm obsessed with. There's actually one from Madewell that I think is so good, so chic, so great. If you're looking for like a suede tote bag, maybe to replace your current work bag, to have your looks for the office feel a little bit more fall inspired. They have the essential bucket tote, which I also talked about earlier being available in that like, you know, deep red color. They have a suede olive bag that I, chef's kiss, love. And I love the way they have it styled on the site too. They have it with jeans and like a matching green trench coat as well.

17:46And I feel like this is such an easy way to integrate fall colors into your wardrobe. The bucket tote, as I mentioned earlier, is about$180. And even if you're just wearing this with jeans, a pair of black loafers, and maybe even a black sweater. That olive tone is an instant crowd pleaser for fall. So good. I love this bag. So good for the office. Great for like errands on the weekend. It's just such a good bag. Suede is everywhere. Literally everywhere. I feel like I'm seeing it on every single website right now. Again, follow that style tip of like keeping all the other items in your outfit, lighter fabrics like denim and cotton and let the suede be that like center point of your outfit.

18:25What I love about fall fashion, again, is layering. And my biggest style tip, if layering is something that feels a little bit intimidating to you, it's pick one fabric. Maybe it's a tweed. Maybe it's a denim. Maybe it's a suede. And let that one item be the center point of your outfit. Don't recommend piling them all on top of each other like a tweed jacket with a suede bag. It might feel too chaotic. So pick one standout fabric and build the outfit around that. Okay, number five, halfway there, guys. I feel like this was newly invented by Gracie Abrams herself. If you guys follow me, you know I love Gracie Abrams.

18:55I love her music, but I also interviewed her for Porter Magazine earlier this year, and she's just the best. But there were some rather cute pictures of her and Paul Mezcal walking around London last week that I saw, and I loved her outfit. It was so cute. She was wearing like a baggy pair of trousers with a really great belt and a little cropped cardigan, great sunglasses, sneakers, and her hair was like up in a clip and it felt so reminiscent of like 90s off-duty model style and so simple but really chic, really pulled together and really easy, which don't we all want to dress like that? So I'm loving this little cropped cardigan moment.

19:36And I think, again, it's one of those pieces that's great for transitional dressing, not too hot, not too cold, right in the middle. I get so much of my knitwear from Jenny Kane. One, I love the brand. I think the design ethos is really great, really forward. I love all the colors. And I also love it because I have a discount code for you guys. It's LIVP15. You can use it anytime for 15 % off your order. Again, I just love their stuff. I love their quality. It's so cozy. So I'm always going to them for anything knitwear. If you're looking for a cropped cardigan there, I would say go for the Finley cardigan.

20:09It's$245. So about$200 with my discount. One thing I would say about the cropped cardigan when you're styling it in your wardrobe. You guys know what I always say. If it's baggy on the top, it's got to be tight on the bottom. And if it's baggy on the bottom, it's going to be tight on the top. And I feel like the cropped cardigan has been like the answer to the fact that we've been in this a little bit more of like an oversized era when it comes to our pants. I feel like we had the low rise jean and the cargo pan and things that feel a little bit more oversized. Obviously, skinny jeans, I feel like have had a really, really strong departure in the past few years.

20:43So it makes sense to me that this cropped cardigan is having a moment considering, you know, it's like the peanut butter and jelly to the little bit baggier of a bottom. So I love it. I could see myself wearing like, again, a baggy pair of jeans with the cropped cardigan and a cute belt and maybe a pair of boots and just having that be like an easy go-to outfit this fall. Okay. The next one, which I'm really curious to hear your guys' thoughts. DM me if you have passionate thoughts like this, like I do, but that is the chambray top. If you go on my Instagram and look at the mood boards that I posted from last week, on the third swipe, there's a look that I absolutely love.

21:19It's a pair of white jeans with a white tee with a chambray top layered over it and tucked in with a brown leather jacket over it. And I usually am not someone who wears a chambray top or a denim top or anything other than denim on my pants. And I saw this and I was like, oh, that is just so chic and so fall. and not really giving as Western as I usually feel when I'm wearing a denim button down. So I saw this and I was like, okay, that's something I definitely want to try this season. But I also, after my episode last week with the Millennial Decorator, if you missed it, go back and listen to it.

21:54So good. Such a fun episode. She posted a picture the next day wearing a quote unquote Canadian tuxedo of a denim button down with matching denim pants. And she had this beautiful necklace on, an Elsa Peretti bean. and it just edged up the look in a way that I haven't seen denim on denim done in a really long time. I loved the way it looked. And I feel like that's the key to nailing the chambray top. And what I feel like we're going to see a lot of this season is how you accessorize it. Like, I loved it layered under the brown leather coat like I posted on my Instagram. And I loved it paired with this like very striking, cool silver jewelry that I'm also seeing on the Millennial decorator.

22:38So definitely going to be trying that. Going to be trying it with like white jeans, maybe some like strong silver jewelry to edge it up a little bit and like modernize it a little bit. I don't know. I feel like sometimes when I put denim on denim on, and I don't know if you guys agree, that I look at myself in the mirror and I'm like, this couldn't feel less elevated. Like, I feel like it's hard to elevate a pair of jeans anyways. So denim on denim feels even harder. And I'm feeling really inspired by these two looks. And I'm definitely going to be trying some interesting looks with a chambray top.

23:06If you're looking for one, Ralph Lauren always has one. J. Crew always has one. Definitely recommend doing that. Throw it in the wash when you get it to make it a little bit softer because sometimes those denim tops can be really rigid. And I really like them when they're like soft and mushy. Okay, piggybacking off of everything I just said, I don't think that there is a bigger trend right now than the like big chunky silver jewelry, especially both of the images that I just told you guys about. The one that's currently in my mood board and the one from the millennial decorator. They're both wearing the iconic bean necklace from Elsa Peretti.

23:41For those of you who don't know who Elsa Peretti is, she's an iconic Italian jewelry designer. She passed away in 2021, but she's had a collection with Tiffany & Co. since 1974 and really created such an iconic collection within Tiffany's. And it's making a huge comeback right now. So much so that the millennial decorator last week actually had an Elsa Peretti drop on her website because there's been such an interest in it. They just re-released the small bone cuff and actually made it into rings as well on Tiffany and Co. And I've been seeing it all over my Instagram. What I really love about Elsa Peretti jewelry, and again, we're talking about investment jewelry here, but I love it because it is so sculptural, but also kind of feels like second skin.

24:26The way that it moves feels like the human body. And I just love it. I think it's so beautiful. I'm so excited that it's back. And whether it's from Tiffany & Co or even J.Crew, there is such a good silver cuff right now on my fall edit that you guys will love. It's from J.Crew. It's$30. If big silver jewelry or cuffs are new to your wardrobe, I would give it a shot and see how you like it. I really love the idea of like a pair of trousers with a really great sweater. And that cuff feels like an elevated outfit that feels different, shows off your personal style a little bit, and also great conversation starter.

25:03Again, that cuff is the hinge cuff bracelet, and it's on J.Crew right now on sale in silver. And if you are looking to get something from Tiffany & Co., the bone collection is pretty pricey. I think the least expensive thing on there is in the$800 range. But I also love the Elsa Pretty Bean collection. That's what the millennial decorator is wearing in that photo. and the smallest one on there is$3.95. So still an investment, but such an iconic collection that I think we're going to be seeing in fashion so much more moving forward. When I think about jewelry like this, like big motif jewelry, I actually think back to the Michael Kors show from fall 2023.

25:43I was there. I saw it in February, 2023. So over a year and a half ago. And I remember that show was all around these gorgeous oversized stone necklaces. Like every model walked down the runway and their look was revolved and centered around this giant stone piece at the center of their chest. Even some of the dresses had cutouts like dedicated just to that stone. And I remember at the time thinking, oh God, like I don't think, I don't know if I'd wear that myself, but Michael Kors is really good at predicting accessories. A lot of the big belts that we've been like loving over the past few months have come from Michael Kors's brain.

26:21and even now so I'm seeing so many big kind of stone centerpiece items whether they're actual stone or even these Elsa Peretti bean necklaces I'm seeing them everywhere and that feels like a trickle-down effect from that show a year and a half ago I feel like now it's beginning to resonate and I'm seeing it everywhere and I'm loving it I'm thinking about getting myself an Elsa Peretti bean necklace stay tuned on that definitely be a classic incredible piece in my wardrobe. Okay, next one I love because it's probably something you already have in your closet. And that's including a little pop of pastel in something that you're wearing.

26:57What I'm loving about is it's not about this like complete upheaval of your wardrobe. It feels like incorporating these little elements that we already have, maybe the burgundy bag, or in this case, maybe a pastel shirt under a sweater. So there was a look that I saw recently that I loved, and it was beautiful women in a pair of gray slacks with a matching v-neck sweater with a really cute yellow button down shirt underneath with the yellow collar sticking out under the gray sweater. So monochrome look with this really cute little like yellow pop of color. I'm loving this trend so much because this feels perfectly transitional.

27:36It's like keep those really fun summer colors going, but you know, be able to also switch to fall mode with like the cashmere sweaters and maybe the darker colors. And she also had this like really cute yellow bag with it. I was loving it. And then there was another look that I saw that was really similar. It was like a gray crew neck with a yellow and blue striped pastel button down underneath. I'm loving it. It's so, so, so cute and actually really reminds me of a lot of what I saw people wearing in Copenhagen when I was there for Copenhagen Fashion Week. I think the ability to play with color like this is really challenging.

28:12Like I'm not good with color. I'm good with monochrome dressing and maybe like a bold colored sweater here and there. But this like sneaky pastel moment I've been seeing all over my TikTok and think it's actually a really easy way if you are a little bit color shy to incorporate color. So you can take your usual gray sweater with a pair of jeans and maybe throw on like a pastel blue or a pastel yellow button down underneath it and have it feel a little bit more like collegiate fall style. Really quick one, something you probably already have in your closet that I'm seeing out there in the world that will just keep you on trend for the season ahead.

28:45Next one, also another top, which I love. I feel like if there's anything in my closet that I'm always stressing out over, it's like good tops, which is why like anytime I find a top that I love, I usually buy it in every single color so that I can just keep re-wearing it. But I love that right now I feel like a lot of the trends that I'm seeing, a lot of the styles that I'm seeing are really based on great tops, the tiny cardigan, the denim button down, the pop of pastel, and now this one, which is ruffled chiffon. This is super specific, but I feel like we've been seeing a very, very, very strong influx of quote unquote boho style since Jimena Kamali took over Chloe and presented her last collection.

29:26In case you missed it, her first collection was in February and was revealed to absolutely rave reviews. Everybody loved it. It felt so quintessential Chloe after what felt like a slump for the brand. So there's this new heightened sense of excitement around the brand and everything that Jimena is doing there. She also was just nominated for at the British Fashion Awards as designer of the year. So very exciting. I feel like she is everywhere right now. Also, Vice President Harris has been wearing Chloe a ton on her campaign trail right now for president. So I feel like Chloe's having a major moment.

29:59And again, that influence is being felt all over. If you go on Mango, if you go on Zara right now, the like ruffled chiffon dresses that are very true to Chloe and something we saw in the entire last collection that is now hitting stores is everywhere. Of all the items that we're talking about today, this feels like the most niche, the most fashion forward and something that you would have to buy to add to your closet that might not feel eternal. and I always like to give you guys just one of those. Keep you on trend. If you are someone who likes to dress for the trends, this would be it. I will say that one thing I love about it, my favorite fabric in the world is chiffon.

30:36I love wearing it. I feel so good in it. It feels so romantic and flowy. And so I'm really thrilled to be seeing this like beautiful kind of ruffled rouge chiffon blouse because it is really romantic. There are a few from Mango that I love and they're all in the fall edit right now. I will say I don't love the styling that Mango is showing them with. I feel like it's very unapproachable. It's like mini booty shorts and like knee-high boots. Definitely not something I would think of right off the bat. But if you are someone that is going to be trying this kind of like fluid blouse trend, I would recommend it with more of a tailored pant or even a mini skirt.

31:12Let the shirt do all the talking. It's a lot of fabric. It's really billowing. So make sure that whatever you're doing on the bottom is a bit more form-fitting so that you're not completely drowning in this like very kind of oversized, billowing, romantic top a la Chloe. I loved the last Chloe show. I thought it was so romantic and so beautiful. If you're looking for more of like a toned down version of it, I really love this one top from Banana Republic. It's the rayon silk blouse. They have it in white and it's kind of the toned down minimal version of that. The sleeves are like a bit oversized and billowing.

31:45There's a rouging at the neckline. It's a button down. It has cuffs at the arms. And I feel like this is the more subtle version of what you're seeing on Mango on the fall edit right now. So I love this one. It's$120. And this is one of those ones that feels easy to incorporate into your wardrobe. Also, what I'm loving in this one on the Banana Republic site right now, if you click on it from the fall edit, it's actually styled with a big silver cuff. So we're hitting all the items in this one. Look, guys. Okay. And last but not least, I always leave my favorite color combo of the season to the end and drumroll My go-to color combo of the season is navy and brown.

32:26I'm obsessed. I don't know what it is It feels so cozy. It feels so elevated even though it's still hot in la right now. I have been leaning on my Navy lisette trousers that I wear all the time You guys have seen me on instagram wear them with like a white tee and like my brown purse all day every day I'm so excited to wear my jeans an oversized navy sweater and like a chocolate brown suede bag with it I'm really loving that color combo so that's gonna be my go-to you'll be seeing me in a lot of that soon and that's it guys that's my wrap-up for the season I'm so excited about fall fashion in this episode got me even more excited I really want to get your thoughts on these guys what are you loving what are you most excited to try what are you like absolutely not I'm not doing that like let's get rid of it please dm me on instagram i love talking with you guys and my dms are always open to you as well as i mentioned at the top of the episode you can always shop everything i'm talking about at my shop my link that's shopmy.us backslash live perez with two v's there are over 80 items on there right now and i'm going to keep adding to it so whatever you need for fall everything is there available for you guys have an incredible week everyone and i'll see you guys next week live from new york fashion week bye guys Thank you.
