New York Fashion week is basically the unofficial start of fall in our books -- which means it's almost time to put away our colorful floral dresses and lighter wardrobe pieces. Almost. Style blogger Mara Ferreira of M Loves M gave us new inspiration for making our summer pieces work in cooler weather with this street style look. Her bright and colorful Darling romper passes as a fall ensemble with the addition of a leather jacket and peep toe Bamboo booties. Add a slick topknot (for running from show to show) and a hot pink lip, and you've got an effortless look that naturally caught the eye of a dozen fashion week photographers.

Engineer by day, fashionista by ... well, always; Carrie Colbert takes her fashion week street style game seriously. We were instantly glued to this bold, patriotically colored dress from Delpozo. (You may recognize the scalloped pattern from Cate Blanchett's ensemble at this year's Cannes Film Festival.) Despite its quirky shape, with architectural details extending out from the shoulders and bodice, the dress is actually quite flattering, thanks to its simple sheath dress foundation. This keeps the dress (and whoever wears it) sleek and streamlined. Strappy Aquazzura heels, Dannijo jewelry and a Chanel purse complete a look we're dying to copy.

There was a sea of BCBG Max Azria on the streets of New York City this morning, as fashionistas flocked to the designer's show at Lincoln Center. Atlantic-Pacific blogger Blair Eadie could have easily been mistaken for a runway model in this floor-length BCBG dress, Karen Walker sunnies and flawless crown braid. And we're taking notes: The mesh detailing in her long-sleeve maxi is a surprising way to flaunt a little skin while still looking sophisticated.
