The arrival of next season's styles also means the arrival of every girl's favorite accessory - shoes! Whether they're suede boots or metallic flats, it's time to think about which styles you'll be sporting. Gunmetal grays are a hot trend for early fall. If you haven't started planning your wardrobe, we recommend considering the following styles:

Ghillie Pump - $49 Menswear is a huge trend this fall (as you might have noticed from our Fall Fashion Preview post). These spectator-styled open oxfords are the perfect marriage of masculine paired with feminine in an easily, wearable 2" heel.

Essential Skimmer - $29 Honestly, you can't go wrong with a classic flat in fashion colors. There's a reason it's named the "Essential" - it is an essential component to your wardrobe this fall. The only question is how many colors do you want?

Demi Wedge Pump - $59 A new twist on a fall classic, the Demi Wedge is styled in black, emerald and gray. Instantly update any outfit with these runway-inspired pumps.

Three Buckle Riding Boot -$149 Trend-right wide calf boots are tough to find, especially once fall arrives. Silhouettes carries styles in calf widths up to 17" and we suggest snagging your size before they're gone!

Though our thermostats may tell us otherwise, it's time to start shopping for fall. After paying close attention to the fall runways at New York Fashion Week, I've been looking forward to the luxurious fabrics, rich textures and saturated Autumnal hues all Summer. Silhouettes's pre-fall selections just went live, and I am already making my shopping list! Check out a few of the pieces I am excited to wear!

Melange Knit Dress - $69 If purple is your favorite color you're in luck this Fall, because the hue is back with a vengeance. Inverted pleats from an empire waist are also incredibly flattering.

Gillian Grey Soft Pleat Cardigan - $59 There are certain pieces that you fall in love with at first glance. For me, this gorgeous draped cardigan falls into that category. It's casual but has enough detail to make you feel effortlessly chic.

Swing Jacket - $74 Menswear detailing turns this ultra flattering jacket into a key piece for Fall. Plus the swing shape, bell sleeves and inverted pleats help streamline your silhouette.

Print Ponte Dress - $74 Although this dress is described as an "earth toned abstract print", every time I look at it, I see Monarch butterflies. Pulled together by the black cuffs and hem detail, set this dress free on a sunny Autumn day.

Beaded Shell - $44 Who says basics have to be boring? This beaded shell makes every day glamorous and it will transition beautifully into holiday!
