Ladies' Choice
Yes, it was 102 degrees today, but we're still holding out hope that one day soon we'll be able to layer up in our favorite stripey tights and fisherman sweater for a brisk, leaf-strewn fall stroll. It can't stay hot through November, can it?
Since we can't do much about the equatorial temps, we thought we'd remind you of the fashion possibilities to come with a few sizzling fall looks, as chosen by some of our favorite local style writers and editors.
Call it a hot list — sans the sweat.

"I've been drooling over this Rag & Bone looped knit jacket for weeks!" said Magsaysay. "I love the texture, structure and creamy color."

Lisa Raine, Editor of Racked L.A.
Alexander Wang "Alice" heels, $595.
"I love these because I was obsessed with furry tails three years ago," said Raine, "and if you take the tail off, you've got a pair of striking, sexy pumps you'll love for years."

Rose Apodaca, style writer and author, co-owner of A+R Stores
Joseph Brooks Pyramid Stud Bracelet, $775.
"I'm coveting a bracelet with a bronze metallic leather strap and pyramid-cut smokey quartz by L.A. designer Joseph Brooks," said Apodaca, "because it's such a stunning reinterpretation of a studded accessory, somehow earthy and still punk."

Khanh Tran, Sportswear, denim & textile editor for Women’s Wear Daily
Penelope and Coco black leather loafers, $317.
"Penelope and Coco’s studded oxfords are the punked-out mullet of black flats," said Tran. "They’re business in the front with simple laces and super-soft leather that molds your feet, then party in the back with a phalanx of silver pyramid studs protecting the heel. Their made-in-LA pedigree and blush pink lining make my tootsies extra-happy."

Rick Owens tunic and skirt, price upon request.
"This stealth-chic ensemble by Rick Owens looks comfortable enough for a long plane flight—half wrapped-in-a-blankie, half sexy siren," said Pike.
