7 FALL-ish LOOKS YOU CAN WEAR NOW
Although summer doesn’t officially end until September 23rd, the fact that it is now September 1st makes us excited that the Fall season is just around the corner.
With fall product deliveries in full swing among many large department stores, it’s difficult to transition from summer to fall without:
A) being too hot considering it’s still 85-90 degrees in most parts of the world
B) realizing that summer is over and you want to hang onto every last second of warm weather, so you encourage the outfit choices.
The biggest dilemma is figuring out how to purchase items that you can wear now yet look a bit more fall-ish. We no longer want to wear sandals, sun dresses or tank tops, but rather booties, denim, and cardigans.
Based upon what’s trending across the world, here are 7 outfits from bloggers in 7 different countries who no doubt have different weather patterns depending on their location. Most of these items can work with many different wardrobe styles, and can be worn during various temperatures.
So no matter where you live, here are 7 outfits trending for the pre-fall season.
RUSSIA: Yulia Sidorenko shows off a great dress that is perfect for the summer to fall transitional weather. We especially love her pairing of wide brim hat and black peep toe booties.
INDIA: Nilu Yuleena Thapa wears the perfect denim jumpsuit for warm or cooler weather. Pairing with her black peep toe booties make this look more fall-ish
POLALND: Another great look from Gabriela Grębska is this A-line denim skirt paired with her blousy white top and suede booties. The fringe on her booties, and suede purse also gives the outfit a little bit more of a fall feel.
GERMANY: Anna R shows off a great minimal, classy look that easily transitions from summer to fall. Her lightweight trench and sneakers are must have pieces for the fall season as well.
UNITED STATES: Mary Ellen Skye of http://maryellenskye.com pulls of the best trend of fall..the tomboy look. With her work shirt, drawstring shorts, booties and trilby hat, her outfit is simple, casual and perfect for fall weather.
CHINA: Rosa who posts only to http://lookbook.nu/lrosa has been featured a few times here on Global Garbs, is wearing such a simple yet chic look for fall. Her high waisted trousers, feminine blouse and oxfords are right on trend for fall ’15.
UNITED KINGDOM: Laura Rogan from The fashion Wonderland , shows off more of a bohemian look that she entitles “chic slob”. Her long duster cardigan is the perfect piece to layer with her boho embroidered shorts.

Top street style looks from the Paris Couture shows
One of the best parts of the Paris couture shows or any fashion week for that matter is the street style going on outside the tents. From celebrities, editors, buyers and fashion bloggers, the troves of women in particular who attend these shows are definitely there to see and be seen.
Some of the outfits chosen can be a little over the top, but the looks below represent the top twenty street style looks that are definitely inspirational yet wearable. Although we enjoy from time to time seeing the outrageous show stopper looks, we usually are most inspired by the women who just seem to have a certain je ne sais quoi, without wearing something too crazy.
From Olivia Palermo’s chic ensemble to Nicole Warne’s sexy yet chic look, the women did not disappoint the fashion photographers this season. We suppose it doesn’t hurt that it’s the spring shows and it’s obviously much easier to dress appropriately as opposed to being bundled up in a coat.

EAST COAST VS WEST COAST STYLE - NYC vs LA
When it comes to the East Coast vs West Coast fashion, there’s always been this unsaid stigma of who has a better sense of style. Although both the east coast and west coast are so large, we are going to focus on two cities that are often compared to each other…New York City vs Los Angeles.
New York City has always been known as the fashion capital of the world, but Los Angeles has been on the radar for quite some time. The city was even ranked no 4 according to the Language Monitor, who puts out a ranking each year of the top fashion capitals of the world. Yes, the city of Angels has slowly but surely made a name for itself in the fashion industry. From top fashion bloggers such as Aimee Song from Song of Style or Emily Schuman from Cupcakes and Cashmere , Los Angeles’ sense of style has always been casual yet chic, and of course never with the necessity of a heavy coat.
We did a piece a few months ago on the differences in East Coast vs West Coast spring style, because obviously weather makes a huge impact of what styles are trending from coast to coast. Now that it’s officially summer time, we thought we’d take another look at what’s going on in LA vs NY.
LOS ANGELES
Jenny Tsang from Tsangtastic who is prominently featured on Lookbook as one of the top bloggers on their leader board is a Los Angeles based fashion blogger with a large following both on lookbook and instagram. With almost 50k followers she’s slowly climbing the ranks as one of the top fashion bloggers from the west coast. Her style is simple yet sophisticated. Her taste is modern with a neutral color palate, while also throwing in a pop of cobalt blue or yellow here and there. She seems to gravitate more towards pastels and whites, especially based on her overall instagram gallery.
She’s definitely got the whole “less is more” thing going for her. All of her outfits look effortlessly chic yet comfortable. She has a relate-able style that will never make someone wonder “what was she thinking?”.
NEW YORK, NY
Rachel Lynch from I Hate Blonde‘s style is basically on the complete opposite end of the style spectrum compared to Tsangtastic. The main visual difference is that Rachel features more editorial type photos which are styled and shot in a much more conceptualized way as opposed to Tsang’s street style images. Lynch’s style is on the edgier side, with her combat platforms and lace, or pleated skirts with moto jackets. The two blogger’s different styles illustrate the statement “to each his own”.
One cannot say there is a clear winner in terms of style, which would always be a considered completely objective. The overall take away from observing the top two fashion bloggers on the Lookbook platform is that there could easily be someone located in NYC that dresses similar to Jenny Tsang, and there are many women who would relate more towards Rachel Lynch’s style as well.
These two style blogger’s comparison can be seen as the somewhat stereotypical view of what New Yorkers wear vs Angelenos. The vast majority of people associate NYC as being edgier, while Los Angeles is often viewed upon as more relaxed and casual. Either way, these two both know who they are as personal style mavens.
In today’s world of style there are no boundaries. Everyone is connected, emulated and admired.

4th of July Style and beyond
In honor of the 4th of July celebration here in the USA, we’ve compiled a few red, white, and blue looks from all across the country. It’s interesting to see the differences just within the United States of trends worn from state to state.
Red, white and blue for the 4th of July and beyond can make a statement regardless of whether you’re trying to be patriotic. The contrast between the blue and red hues work really well together, and are always a classic American look. One tends to think of Ralph Lauren, who is the epitome of All-American fashion. The looks below cover a range of classic and trendy outfits, but the overall theme is that these women have style and aren’t afraid to wear color, whether it be head-to-toe or a pop of color in their accessories.
Whether you’re headed to a BBQ or just want some American style inspiration, check out some of our favorite looks below.
