Don't get me wrong -- I love these dog days of summer when every weekend is planned out for camping, visiting friends or road trips out to ranch weddings and the day itself just seems to drag well on into the evening, perfect for a late dinner and drink rendezvous. But I still get giddy for the coming of fall. Crisp air. Shorter days. The promise of holidays right around the corner. And fall wardrobe shopping. Of course, when Club Monaco tapped me to pick out a few fall favorites from their August collection, which you can see here, I was beyond happy to do so. Their relaxed yet sophisticated city vibe has always resonated well with my style and this fall collection in particular makes for the perfect foundation for fall dressing. Think trench coats with leather touches. Full skirted shirt dresses. And lots of patterned separates that are begging to be mixed, matched or worn together for a little extra oomph. 

Check out the rest of my outfits and my other fellow style muses on Club Monaco here -- and would love to know, what would you pick from the August collection? Let me know in the comments below!
