While I love summer thunderstorms, my mind is already looking forward to fall: back to school, the scent of foliage, and fall fashion!

3. Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum / Parfum
I've been coveting this fragrance since I smelled it on the Keira Knightley ads in a magazine. I've been testing out samples throughout the year and while this scent is sophisticated to what I usually use it works all throughout the year. The ever-elegant Chanel parfum bottle design makes it even more justifiable.

4. Slated Blue
I've been noticing this shade of blue in various items lately: from Sally Hansen's Gray by Gray, Barielle's Slate of Affairs, Rebecca Taylor's sweaters, and Burberry's lace blouse (above) - just to name a few.
Lace blouses can end up romantically classy or shockingly tacky. The toned down color makes the classic garment more modern but somewhat understated.
