The Nordstrom End-of-Summer Clearance Sale is going on now where you can save up to 40% through September 13 on all those summer items still on your wishlist...or, you can find pieces that will work well into the fall and beyond. This floral skater dress will take on a romantic fall mood with opaque tights, ankle boots and a floppy felt hat, while this pencil skirt in a rich plum hue will look office-chic with navy, ivory and leopard accents (check out this outfit for inspiration).

Sometimes I feel like I'm living on the wrong coast, because as much as I love classic New England style, I'm obsessed with the ease and warmth of modern California-casual decor. Case in point: Every time Glitter Guide founder Taylor Sterling posts a peek of her L.A. home on Instagram (@taylorsterling), I swoon. I love the lightness, the soft pinks and muted tans, the Southwest references and the warm-weather plants like cacti and fiddle leaf figs that still feel really exotic to this East Coast via Midwest girl. If you share my obsession, read on for budget-friendly decor items and furniture that will help you get Taylor's look in your own living room...

Never one to rock the boat, JCPenney quietly shared their women's casual fall lookbook featuring easy ensembles from a.n.a., Liz Claiborne, St. John's Bay and Stylus (their newer in-house label). But that doesn't mean they aren't up to great things for fall. Designer Nicole Miller celebrated her 10th anniversary with a special limited-edition collection (still available) and the department store has teamed with Eva Longoria on a chic new home collection. As for the fall lookbook, highlights include a St. John's Bay anorak ($60), Stylus poncho ($40), tan Stylus moto jacket ($84), and a.n.a. 2fer top ($36) - and I call them "highlights" because they're easy-to-wear pieces with lots of style potential that you can work into your existing wardrobe. Shop these looks in stores and online at jcp.com starting this month. See anything here that catches your eye?

Taylor Swift rocked this look in late May, but we think it's absolute perfection as we transition into fall! We love the oxblood purse for this season, and how Taylor's nineties-inspired overalls have been updated with a slim fit and a low waist to show off her ribbed crop top.

In this week’s Two Ways to Wear it column, team Sydne Style shows us how to wear a romper. The trend works whether you are petite like Sydne (right) or tall like Haley. Check out sydnestyle.com for more fashion inspo!

While fall is around the corner, there’s still plenty of time to get your summer style on. And one of the easiest trends for warmer days is the romper. The one-piece style makes getting dressed so easy… and they’re extremely comfy!
