BB Dakota recently previewed its fall 2016 collection, packed with a bevy of feminine, lace-adorned dresses and ultra slouchy and cozy cardigans. For a brand that is known so well for its amazing outerwear, other pieces make just a big of an impact this coming season. The brand aims to create non-fussy clothing that is both comfortable and affordable, which it certainly does with the fall arrivals. Favorites include the Reyes dress, the Kimber skirt, and the Richelle sweater, which are all perfect for an idyllic fall day. The pieces are fashioned out of super soft fabrics, and since most are in neutral, earth tones, they’re also extremely versatile with your wardrobe.
The brand overall executes a very free-spirited look and mood, which assertively continues well into 2016. Make sure to keep a look out for the new fall collection in stores and online in the coming months, and click through the slideshow above to see more of our favorite pieces.
BB Dakota garments are available online at Shopbop, Urban Outfitters, Lulu’s, and Nasty Gal, and in select stores nationwide. Most products are priced at under $100, and you can find more information on BB Dakota products online at bbdakota.com.

From our friends at thefind.com:
Blazers and their slightly-more-structured cousin, the tuxedo jacket, have been a style staple for the casual fashionista everywhere. Throw one on over a classic tee and jeans and you’ve instantly transformed your look from lazy to luxe. Top off a tank and shorts and you’ve got yourself a night-out ensemble that’s totally sophisticated and sexy. The possibilities are endless, and the transition power is always impressive, and now just in time for fall, some of our favorite styles are getting even more stylish with chic leather details. Leather lapels are a subtle yet sexy way to edge up your favorite suited-up look – it’s just as sleek and polished, but with the slightest rock ‘n roll touch that’s perfect for pairing with your new spiky heels or moto ankle boots! It’s the perfect transition piece from summer to fall, if you’re not quite ready to break out the full-on leather jacket!

I’ve always been a fan of T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, and have picked up some AMAZING pieces dirt cheap such as this jumper I wore to Fashion 2.0 ($16.99) , hilarious floor-cleaning slippers, and countless other items I have yet to photograph! I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the increasingly high-end labels I’ve found on the shelves and in the racks, ranging from Valentino and Ferragamo to Poleci and Diane von Furstenberg. While my Mom was in town visiting, we went to check out the brand new T.J. Maxx at 57th and 8th Avenue in NYC. There we discovered some great pieces by Valentino, See by Chloe, and BB Dakota. My pick was this buttery soft pale grey jacket with folds that fell in all the right places. I also love to check out all of the socks and hosiery, as I always find some funky and fabulous Betsey Johnson items as well as staples by brands like Hue and Ellen Tracy. Mom perused the home decor and holiday offerings with cutesy ornaments, candles, knick knacks, and table décor. Some of my holiday gift suggestions you can get on the cheap at T.J.’s or Marshalls are: wool socks (for him or her), luxe bath products, gourmet food, and brand name beauty appliances such as hair dryers, curling and straightening irons. Happy Holidays, and happy shopping!

[My takeaway, this BB Dakota jacket ($80) – tres chic!]
Disclosure: T.J.Maxx/Marshalls gave me a $50 gift card to shop the store.
