This week I did a little recon at Old Navy and found some solid pieces to share with all of you, including the elusive grey flat boot - a true grey, not greige or taupe for all of you who've been on the hunt - plus must-have accessories like leopard print scarves (just $8 online, wear with everything!) and work-to-weekend plaid ankle pants. So chic this time of year. I was also loving a plaid trapezoid bag (similar) but think I'd wait for a sale. The leopard ankle boots I ordered online are now in my store (argh!) and I'm not going to lie, they look kinda cheap close-up but from a distance, they'll do. Just make sure you get them on sale. And don't miss Old Navy's ponchos - these have finished edges and arm holes, an upgrade from the ones I bought at Walmart, so they cost a little more. Finally, Old Navy has lots of cute plaid shirts. You can never have to many! From trips to the apple orchard to the pumpkin patch to fall festivals, these are the easy-to-wear styles you'll want to stock up on.

If you're excited to start wearing fall trends but the weather still says sunny and warm, Emmy Rossum's deep orange dress and nude lace up flats are the perfect transitional ensemble. Even her saddle bag is on-trend, one of the most popular handbag trends for fall (and we love them for their timeless appeal). When the forecast calls for chilly breezes, just toss on a neutral cardigan (something chunky and beige would look sweet) and this outfit can carry you into fall.

Here's how to stretch your favorite summer maxi dress or skirt into fall, according to trendsetter Alexa Chung: Just add a chunky knit sweater and your favorite sneaks (or boots) and you'll have a cozy-cool look to transition into those cooler temps. Athletic shoes are having a huge moment, so you'll definitely get a lot of wear out of your classic Converse. Pick up a new pair in a fall hue like dark green (shown here), burnt umber or chili paste red. We're obsessed with Alexa's on-trend suede handbag, and think the Zara bag we found is an excellent budget substitute. Get the rest of her look for less after the jump...

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley isn't just traveling in style - she's showing us a perfect way to remix one of your polished work blouses for the weekend. Just mix a ladylike v-neck top like this one we found at LOFT with ripped skinnies and peep-toe ankle boots. Simple yet so chic! Finish it off with a sleek timepiece and oversized sunglasses.

Oh, Olivia. How do you make fall layering look so effortless? This photo was actually snapped on a chilly spring day as the style icon walked her pup in New York City but it's totally on point this season, too. Start with a neutral base - gray menswear inspired coat, leather(ette) leggings - then add colorful accessories like a maroon crossbody bag and scarf. Hi-top sneakers and a chambray shirt tied around the waist finish this put-together Downtown look. Read on to get it for less...
