The fall fashion season is afoot and there’s no need to scramble to find warm and trendy pieces — we’ve already done it for you.

Shi’s A Lady
Using beautiful silk brocade and stained-glass techniques as the focal point for her jewelry, Shi Studio designer Cory Judge creates pendants, necklaces, earrings and leather cuffs (pictured). A hip and chic complement to any outfit. From $56, shistudio.com

Heavens to Betsey!
Your outerwear needs to be just as stylish as what you’ve got on underneath. We recommend Betsey Johnson’s double-breasted jacket with unexpected red buttons and cuffs for your first steps into fall. $375, betseyjohnson.com

Mother of Style
“Women would constantly stop me in the street, asking excitedly ‘Where did you get that dress?!’ My answer was always, ‘Oh, my Mom made that,’” says My Mom Made That designer Nancy Rosa. Canadian and uber-cute: what more could you ask from a little dress? From $130, mymommadethat.com

Singing in the Rain
Stylish yet functional footwear is harder to find than the Holy Grail, so Ilse Jacobsen’s 100% natural rubber boots, that come in every colour of the rainbow, must be divine intervention! Check out these electric aqua rain boots with modern white laces. From $225, ilsejacobsen.dk

Layer Cake
As the temperature drops, bundle up in Nixxi’s luxurious wrap shawl. The layers of fabric keep you warm, while looking lavish and elegant. Wear it simply as a shawl or belt it for extra flair, but make sure you balance with a skinny jean, legging or pencil skirt. $230, nixxi.ca

Good Lux
Canadian designer Debbie Cham of Lux & Luster creates a collection so frilly and ultra feminine, you can’t help but fall in love with it. Check out the flirty, Mara Flower top in ginger. $255, luxandluster.com
