It’s taken me a little while to get into the swing of fall, mostly because the temperatures have remained in the 80s here at the beach. I’ve still been letting the sun kiss my feet in trusty J. Crew flip flops and holding on to the last sliver of summer in weekend sundresses, short sleeves and skirts for work. Only a few days ago, did the first hint of post-summer weather begin to show its snuggly fall face.

I was unprepared. I left the house in a chiffon blouse and pencil skirt. What’s a girl to do? Take to Twitter and ask the experts! (And put on a sweater!) I’ve been inquiring with a few of my fashion faves about what their recommended must-have clothing or shoe is for fall. Guess what? I got answers! Don’t you love the beauty of Twitter? How else can you interact directly with major players on the fashion scene than the lovely chirping of a Twitter mention? (P.S. I love @dknyprgirl! So honest and funny!)
 
Thanks to my diligent tweeting, you can now enjoy a hand-picked collection of fall fashion straight from the designers, the likes of which only Anna Wintour may have accessed in a pre-Twitter world.
