Those who know fashion know Yasmin Sewell. The Australian fashion consultant's look is always edgy, always fun and she's sort of a beauty icon of ours as well (her short, curly 'do is completely enviable). Yasmin's Paris street style came just in time to show us how to transition our summer maxi skirts straight into fall. The darker color paired with a patterned blouse in autumnal hues is seasonally appropriate and effortlessly chic.

Don't get me wrong; I love fashion, but trends are a whole other topic. When I spotted patent leather on the SS 14 runways via Versace and on celebrities like Rihanna and Miley Cyrus (neither of which make my list of fashion icons), I was thoroughly disappointed. Patent leather just looks like a colorful garbage bag to me.

Then I saw this savvy streetstyler. The deep emerald color and monochromatic ensemble pulled everything together. (And the holographic shoes don't hurt matters.) Damn, I may just be on board.

Any style that also appears to be comfortable is tops in my book. This oversized sweater paired with a skater skirt manages to look chic and effortless at the same time. Basically this is your typical comfy sweater and leggings look minus the leggings (release your grip, this is a good change). Plus, if you're dying to start wearing all those cozy fall fashions but the weather hasn't quite caught up with the editorials, this is an easy way to win in both worlds.

Menswear touches. Black and white. Tuxedo pants. What's not to love about this street style approach to office attire? Tuxedo pants are a great way to get in on the menswear trend if boyfriend jeans and brogue shoes make you feel more frumpy than fabulous.

Burnt orange and royal blue -- I'm in Pantone color heaven. This fashionista's colorful pairing is perfect for fall, and I fully intend to emulate this outfit with my own wardrobe. Whether your go-to fall outfit is sweater dresses and boots, or oversized sweaters and skinny jeans, break out your color wheel and take notes.
