These Sam Edelman Sawyer Cut-Out Leather Oxford Booties combine severl trends in one shoe: They're booties; they're oxford style and the cutouts are lacy. Pair them with just about everything in your wardrobe: jeans, skirts and dresses, winter shorts, and suits. When wearing these fall shoes with shorter hemlines, pull on a pair of opaqe tights first. The substantial 3-inch heel is flirty and chunky, which makes it very wearable.

2. Fall Fashion Handbag

This Lucky Brand Abbey Road crossbody bag is the hottest handbag silhoutte this fall. It's a feminine take on a messenger bag. This one is made of distressed leather, has a detachable strap and plenty of pockets. It leaves your hands free so you can hold coffee and the subway pole at the same time while commuting in the morning.

3. Fall Fashion Necklace

A trendy take on the still fashionable statment necklace, this Banana Republic Eurdyce necklace adds a tough girl edge to any outfit. Resist the urge to wear it with straight black — insted pair it with more feminine looks like lace or hot pink to add an unexpected twist.

4. Fall Fashion Military Jacket
