Instead of sandals, add booties and throw on a lightweight cardigan or a poncho, and you are fall ready. How important do you see denim skirts, shirts and jackets for fall 2015? Oh, how amazing chambray is going to be this fall! You will see lots of denim in the dress world, worn with tights and boots or even heels. I have add- ed six new denims to my per- sonal wardrobe this year with three dresses, gaucho pants, shirts and high-waist jeans. What are some must- have accessories for fall? What is trending? For shoes? handbags? What about backpacks? This fall is expected to be cold and possibly rainy, so wraps and ponchos are a must. The re- versible tote is the new "it" bag, giving you two color options in a style that you love without the double price. Cross body bags are still big but the backpack is making a comeback. This look is not great on everyone but it does work and happens to be functional. What do you think the current look with hats will be for fall? Where do I wear them? I love hats. I can't buy enough or wear them enough. This fall, you will see lots of color in the hat world as well as oversized brims. I wear my hats when we have a light rain as an easier option than the umbrella. I also love to wear them on Sunday coffee shop mornings while reading the paper and sipping a latte. No matter what I am wear- ing, the hat makes it feel like a very posh Sunday morning. What will be the hot color for fall this year? I am screaming colors from the rooftops right now. Anything in blush, wine, navy or light gray is a great addition to any ward- robe. The colors are softer and the payoff is spectacular. Wrap available at Barcelino in Sausalito. From Coqueterra, the Selah bootie.
