As I scanned my post-vacation email inbox this morning (568 messages strong), I was excited to spy a note from Target alerting me to the Kirna Zabete at Target Look Book, part of the second installment of The Shops at Target coming this fall. Co-created by the Kirna Zabête boutique owners, Sarah Easley and Beth Buccini, Kirna Zabête at Target includes women's apparel and accessories that reflect the shop owners' personal styles - including handbags, scarves, hats and jewelry - with an "urban-chic" sensibility. There's a lot to look forward to in this collection, from a genuine leather moto jacket and graphic printed skirts to bright floral blouses and sparkly rhinestone jewelry. Some of the styling in this lookbook is a bit frenetic for my taste, but I can see many individual pieces that I love, like the leatherette skirt, tuxedo blazer (love it layered with that maxi dress), leopard trench and versatile long sleeve shirtdresses. With nearly 100 pieces ranging in price from $9.99 to $199.99, Kirna Zabête at Target will be available September 9, 2012 at all Target stores and Target.com.

Alright, ladies, what do you think?

I have fallen in love with the Dries Van Noten dress featured on Denise Porcaro in eBay's new Style Stories series (here). Any looks for less?! The colors, the cut, the mix and matched patterns…wouldn't say no to that cute BCBG belt either. —Michèle

First, let's start with the belt (that's the easy part): You can find BCBG's multi-colored belt for $68 at Lord & Taylor. It's unique and might be worth the price if you think you'll wear it often this fall and beyond. You might also try making a DIY version of this belt using some colored thread!

Now, on to the dress. When you're looking for runway-inspired pieces, your best bets are Zara, ASOS and H&M. Here's a mixed print dress that captures the feel of the Dries pretty well ($196, ASOS.com):

Fans of Method cleaning products will have a new reason to smile this fall as the brand unveils a limited-edition collaboration with graphic artist Orla Kiely. The new line combines the signature graphic patterns of Orla Kiely and the bright scents of Method hand soaps, which are biodegradable, naturally derived and free of parabens, phthalates, triclosan and EDTA. With four tempting varieties, I might just have to pick up one of each: Pear Ginger, Bay Leaf, Primrose and Vanilla Chai. Each comes in liquid or foam hand wash for just $2.99. Look out for this cheery collection in Target stores this September.

On Tuesday, July 10, I attended an exclusive Denim Fitting Party hosted by ELLE & Lucky Brand at their NYC Showroom. Joined by some of my favorite style bloggers, I sipped sparkling water and enjoyed some yummy finger foods while previewing the new Lucky Brand Denim collection for Fall 2012.

Menswear-inspired shoes aren't going anywhere this fall. The trend is back and better than ever with cool updates like pops of neon, metallic finishes, and unconventional colors. Bright yellow oxfords give Sienna Miller's neutral outfit some kick; Carly Rae Jepson adds a quirky, casual touch to a red dress by adding pink cap-toe oxfords; while Olivia Palermo enhances an eclectic evening look with a silver version of the shoe. Keep reading to browse some of the oxfords you'll be seeing soon on cool feet everywhere, including your own.
