As I live somewhere that doesn't really have a Fall...well, not a 'proper' Fall...only a few days of blissful, 'just right', crunching through the fallen leaves when you walk weather...not the weeks of it that would be my ideal...

As someone in this situation, the words "pre-Fall" irk me a little...even when the clothes are jaw-droppingly beautiful (as is the case below, courtesy of Givenchy)...there's always that underlying thought that when they arrive in stores it will still be hot and humid...and that Fall will arrive and depart before you can say "pass me a cardigan". Much better to look upon them as inspiration for the next few months...
