Alice McCall's Fall/Winter 2012 lookbook has some serious ethereal beauty going on. The dainty cutouts and feather light materials are enough to put me in a trance. These are pieces you would definitely need to throw on a warm sweater or coat with. I'd be willing to fight the cold for these goodies though.

I have not been so eager to see a new collection from a designer in a long time, but I'm running out of patience when it comes to Arabella Ramsay. The Australian designer has yet to release her 2013 Spring/Summer collection, so I'm just going to blabber about her current Fall/Winter one in anticipation. Crustacean themed prints, sailor inspired colours, and a youthful, but vintage appeal pretty much sum up the line. Arabella's clothing has a lot going on and it all seems to work together harmoniously.

It's been awhile since we did a post on street style, so I thought I'd revisit the topic. The Locals is a style blog capturing the fashions of Copenhagen and beyond through the lens of freelance photographer Søren Jepsen. The great thing about this blog is that you can search by city, so I am able to see what is currently inhabiting my old stomping ground in London or venture over to Paris for a an hour or two. I especially love this colour story from the city of love, perfect for fall.

There are quite a few autumn goodies in Dolce Vita's Fall 2012 collection. This appropriately patterned dress has me (and soon to be you) pining for it. Apparently, I can't resist anything with braided detail. Also, if you're in the market for the perfect plaid coat, I'm pretty sure I have found it right here. And make sure you check out both the Dolce Vita and the DV by Dolce Vita labels. DV is a bit friendlier to the piggy bank, but both lines are really fun.

Back to school is long gone, I know. However, lately I have been reminiscing about my uni days and how much simpler life was when I wasn't a grown up. Even though I can't go back in time, I can pretend and Jack Wills University Outfitters' fall line up can certainly help. Normally campus-preppy is not my thing, but if I were still in school, I would definitely wear Jack's cozy leggings to an early morning class. And presently, I'm all over the Fairford midi skirt for my current office gig. So I guess, campus-preppy might be my thing after all.

Club Monaco's October lookbook totally has the 'wish I was there' sentiment down. Autumn hangouts on a dock at the lake are the best. And although I am heading up north to a cottage in a few weeks, I doubt I will be looking as spectacular as this girl does. The details are just perfect, from the simple paneling on a coat down to the cutest floral stockings peeking through. Club Monaco now has online shopping, so it's hard to stay away. I'd kill for this silk shirt featuring a just-right leather patch pocket.

I'm not a big fan of summer. Ok, there, I said it, so sue me. I just don't like being all sweaty and hot and stuff. However, I just checked out this viddy for Montreal designer Eve Gravel's Spring/Summer 2013 collection and I cannot wait for winter to be done with. Usually the layering of the fall season has me swooning, but I am all over the textures and the colours of Eve's upcoming release. If this is any indication of what we'll be seeing next year, then I can hardly wait!

Jane Aldridge, the girl behind Sea of Shoes, is one of the most influential style bloggers on the interwebs today. Not only does she tastefully put together gorgeous ensembles for all of us to see, but she is also a designer collaborating with the likes of Urban Outfitters and Gryphon. A fan of the colour red, she really should be featured on our Ruby Tuesday pages, but Jane has such great style we couldn't refuse her our Sunday Best.

Amanda Johnson of Making Nice in the Midwest is another one of those amazing women that I look up to for seemingly doing it all. She is a wedding photographer, blog designer, writes a personal blog, and has an interior design degree in tow. Phew! Her lovely lifestyle blog shares inspiration for just about everything, including the best vintage wardrobe ever! The yellow dress pictured above is to die for! She is currently expecting (so we can soon add Mom to the list too) and has the cutest maternity outfits as well!

Part style blog, part personal diary, Natalie Off Duty covers the adventures of New York model Natalie Suarez. Her rocker chick vibe and affection for vintage have made her blog a must read for me. Interestingly enough, her candid behind the scenes shots from modelling gigs are some of the more the gorgeous images on her site. Take the last shot in this series posted last week - absolutely amazing.

This girl does it all. Kendra Robinson's blog, The Ruffle House, features personal style, interior design, art, DIY projects and more. Her modern, yet glamorous style is to be desired, as are her perfect Little Mermaid-esque locks. Kendra's outfits are never too fussy, but always seem to have a standout piece that really dazzles. I also came across this amazing embroidered wall that I am dying to try. It would be really lovely on a bathroom wall above the tub.

Late Afternoon is a personal style blog chock full of bright colours, bold patterns, and chunky jewels. Liz Cherkasova has a refined California style with the perfect mix of tailored glam and pretty vintage. I love that she doesn't shy away from pattern mixing and often wears pastels so well that it keeps me awake at night. It must have something to do with all that California sunshine.

This week we're bringing you another stylish Torontonian. I would really love to rifle through the closet of Elizabeth Victoria. Her outfits are simple and sweet, with a subtle edge that I am completely enthralled with at the moment. I knew as soon as I saw this all black outfit (the perfect blend of texture might I add) that I would be using it for inspiration come early autumn.

Kristy of Monochroma.Chic, a Toronto based style blog, is absolutely adorable! I kind of want to be her and I really want to own her wardrobe. Who wouldn't though? It's the perfect blend of office appropriate tops and super fun shoes. The best part is her Outfits page which organizes her fashion choices by season and activity. Adorable indeed.

I love the carefree ways of Betty at Le Blog de Betty. Anyone that can wear a batman t-shirt and leopard print shorts together and look amazing is definitely up there in my books. And with over 200, 000 likes on Facebook and her blog available in Portuguese, English and French, I'm almost certain she's at the top of everyone else's books too. As an aside, these boots are a must!

I'm not exactly sure why I've neglected to do a post on The Cherry Blossom Girl before, but better late then never I always say! Paris native Alix started style blogging in 2007 and her high-fashion pedigree has kept her going strong ever since. Romance, fairy-tales, and flowers come to mind when browsing through her images and suddenly I feel like I'm in a Sofia Coppola movie. The only disappointing thing is, that I've waited so long to share it with all of you.

Personal style blogger Veronika knows how to rock vintage and fast fashion all while looking like she just stepped out of a Noxzema commercial. Her blog Girl & Closet showcases her best style choices and a weekly giveaway from one of her many (amazing) sponsors. On top of all that awesomeness, she also runs her own little jewelry shop. Seriously, how does she find the time?!

If there was ever a person to embody summertime cool, it would have to be blogger, Gracie Carroll. Her outfits just scream effortless chic. Gracie notes Chloe Sevigny as a major style icon of hers and I can definitely see the connection. They both emit a bright confidence and independence through their style that I think every girl hopes to achieve. Confidence definitely helps Gracie shine in this summer sweater tank, which by the way I am now completely obsessed with.

Blushing Ambition is probably one of the cutest style blogs I've come across in a long while. Creator Annabel Ly manages to pull of an understated coolness that looks like a piece of cake. Speaking of cake, Annabel also captures her various food adventures, and trust me, it will make you long for the day when burgers are calorie-free.

Finally, it's time for some swimwear! If I could spend everyday on the beach I would, and this is what I would wear. Mara Hoffman has outrageously fun and cheery styles to suit up in for the summer. They bring back every memory of fruity popsicles and towering ice cream cones you had as a kid. The colours, cuts and patterns have me too excited for words. I haven't worn a one piece in years, but this beaded, purple number might have me changing my tune. I'm in awe of the plunging neckline and perfect peek-a-boo of skin in lieu of a bare all mid section. And what would the beach be without a beach bag? This one covered in pom poms makes my life complete.
