Here's the Fall 2011 look book for Olsenboye, the teen fashion line by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen sold exclusively at JCPenney stores and online. This season's mix of dresses and separates comes in a palette of reds, black, dark blue and ivory with floral prints, plaid and stripes, ruffle embellishments and loosely woven knits. Faux fur and shearling vests add texture while colorful tights, crossbody bags and cool hats give the lookbook a boho-meets-London-street-style vibe. Observations: The redheaded model reminds me of Jane Aldridge from Sea of Shoes. Leather shorts are ubiquitous for fall. If I can fit into the juniors sizing, the dress shown above will be mine. Shop these pieces at jcp.com, where you can see Olsenboye shoes and bags, too. Lots of great options under $50.

I'm starting college across the country on the East Coast in a couple weeks and I'd really like a pair of classic brown riding boots. Unfortunately, every pair I fall in love with is $300! Do you have any ideas for more affordable options?

I do! In fact, I'm looking for a pair of classic brown riding boots myself. There are dozens of great options hitting stores now, and my favorite has to be these Merona "Manette" tall boots in tan or brown, just $39.99 at Target. I love the clean, classic lines while the decorative buckle adds a distinctive touch.

This dress reminds me of Tucker for Target with its casual, vintage feel. Add a cool belt, tights and boots for the perfect fall look.

Recently, I have become absolutely infatuated with the Emily & Meritt for Kate Spade Westward Adventurer Satchel (shown below). Even for such a great bag, $795 is more than a little steep. Any ideas for a cheaper, similar version? I love the idea of a bag this size for weekend journeys away/train traveling. —Maria

That's certainly a drool-worthy bag, but you're right, the pricetag is out of reach for many of us. But don't fret, I found an amazing alternative! Whenever I'm looking for a classic, timeless leather bag with a vintage feel, I think of the Fossil Vintage Reissue collection - it's Fossil's best styles from the past, reinvented for today. This weekender bag, for instance, captures many of the attributes you like from the Kate Spade Westward, for about $570 less. And because it's Fossil, you won't sacrifice quality. Click the image below for details, it's also available in camel, red and a gorgeous two-tone style.
