Who needs a party to wear a cute sparkly dress? Definitely not I, and you shouldn't either. This one is a staff fave because it's reminiscent of vintage stunners from the 1950s and early 60s, but proportioned for a modern XXS.

Yes, we know, it's October. We also know it was 97 degrees in Sacramento yesterday, and that's not the only place where it's decidedly still summer. This sleeveless dress keeps you looking hot (figuratively) while staying cool (literally) and pairs beautifully with a jacket or cardigan when the heat finally starts to subside.

Philadelphia-based Heyne Bogut does some of the coolest prints I've ever seen, and this dress is no exception. I have three pieces from this brand and can confirm that it's as long-wearing as it is gorgeous and will keep you looking fantastic year after year.

My obsession with Israeli brand Alembika is well documented and while I tend towards their knit fabrics, I really liked the look and feel of this linen piece when I tried it on for the "large test" (basically, if something is tagged large I try it on to confirm it will indeed fit one.) The hand and drape of the fabric are just lovely, and the boxy cut helps keep you stay cool in summery weather.

Diane von Furstenberg's silk jersey wrap dresses are iconic, but I also love this pullover sleeveless style in the same easy-to-wear fabric. Perfect on its own in summery weather, easy to add a black jacket or cardigan for fall transition.

It's dark blue with long sleeves and refined ruffles, but it's also silk and it's got some white in the print. We like it with a skirt as shown in the listing, but it would also look fab with jeans or tailored pants.

I love a versatile dress, I love a good animal print, and I love the Pink Tartan brand. This dress looks amazing on its own or paired with a cardigan as shown in the listing.

I'm always happy to offer Chicago-based brands, and Maria Pinto's M2057 line is one of my very favorites. The Italian-made fabric feels as good as it looks, this particular jacket pairs equally well with both casual and dressier outfits, and the green gives you a nice pop of color with black, gray or other neutrals.

This brand is known for exquisitely cut garments in beautiful fabrics with great whimsical details like the buttons on this piece, which can be worn alone as a top or layered as a vest.

This fantastic Italian-made jacket's mostly black and brown print says fall, but it's also got off-white accents and elbow-length sleeves. Fabric is cotton with a hint of Lycra for stretch, unlined apart from the silk seam bindings. 

Super soft to the touch, this jacket's fabric is perfect for keeping you warm without bulk. It looks great either with or without the self-fabric tie belt.

This understated shift dress features a square neckline in both front and back, and works beautifully with a wrap or cardigan when you want to layer a bit for the fall weather.

"Classic... with a twist," literally. Black wool tailored jacket from Anna Molina of Blumarine with whimsical logo lining to match the slightly quirky exterior. 

With a pattern that's like an abstract, black and white leopard print, this swingy jacket looks great with neutrals, brights, denim and knits. The portrait collar and single glossy black button are charming details.

Easy pull-on waist and bubble hem, muted green color is wearable year-round but lends itself brilliantly to combining with autumn hues and fabrics. Stretchy cotton knit feels as good as it looks.
