Our Top Picks for the Week of September 4, 2018

Balancing summer blushes and bright blues with moodier, deeper tones is a good way to ease into fall vibes, and we are loving these darker florals for the season. But in this time of transition, we still feel a little celebratory -- it's not cold yet! -- so we're reaching for this amazing skin product to look our glowing best, munching on the cutest gummies ever, finding our staple skinnies, and donning slightly more substantial jewels than felt right pool-side, all in this week's top picks.Elizabeth: People think of spring for florals but we love them for fall. The Choux Top in Noir Floral by Ulla Johnson is the perfect piece to start wearing now. (Available at The Hive, $265)Amy: To celebrate our anniversaries we are popping the bubbly at Red Barn Mercantile and Penny Post this weekend! Stop by for a glass -- and discounts up to 30 percent! -- or if that's not your thing, then pick up Sugarfina's Sparkling Gummy Bears. They are great for any celebration!! (Available at Penny Post)Celeste: Tailored in a structured cotton, this very special Nicole Miller Atelier double-breasted blazer features a vintage floral print and we are obsessed! Pair with a skirt and boots for an updated work look. Fully lined. (Available at Kiskadee, $495)Angela: Hate the feeling of foundation? Wish you could run out the door with lip gloss and mascara, but need just a bit more? This is your answer. Not a BB cream, not a tinted moisturizer...the best way to describe Vita Liberata Illuminaze Complexion Veil is as a skin perfecter. It goes on clear, but meets the moisture in your skin and develops into a beautiful glow that evens out your skin tone. I am obsessed! (Available at Bellacara, $39)Alicia: Classic 70s-inspired high-rise jeans will be a staple in your wardrobe this fall and the Le High Skinny Raw Slit Studs by Frame is a great pair. The Hazelwood wash is a medium wash with a raw hem adorned with studs. (Available at TSALT, $240)Meaghan: It's officially September, which in my book means I'm gravitating towards richer, deeper color tones as I mentally shift towards dressing for fall. This smoky quartz and cognac diamond cocktail ring is the perfect transitional statement piece with its airy 14k yellow gold filigree complementing the darker-hued gemstones. I can see it paired just as easily with a white peasant blouse as with a black turtleneck. (Available at Alx&Co., $1,480)
