"For a dressier look," Ronson told us,"accessorize with a sexy heel, statement jewelry and bold makeup, such as a red lip." And what about dressing down? "If you're going for a more casual look, pair your dress with a leather jacket and chunky boots for a sophisticated edge.

Making multiple layers look stylish can be a challenge, so we're lucky designer Charlotte Ronson is here with the perfect solution! "Play with different textures and fabrics," Ronson told us, "but stick to lighter basics underneath to avoid looking too bulky. Try layering a pretty floral dress with stockings, then add a favorite henley underneath a sweater along with a leather jacket and boots."

Guest Editor Charlotte Ronson knows a thing or two about beauty; in fact she's got her own line! So what does this designing woman always take along? "A great concealer such as my Perfect Fix Concealer from my Sephora Collection," Ronson told us. "And vibrant lip color. Depending on my look, I’ll pick A Perfect Kiss Lip Gloss in either Samantha, a light pink perfect for day, or Annabelle, a subtle red."
 
And who does this beauty insider list among her biggest inspirations? "Charlotte Gainsbourg: she puts her own spin on current trends and it always looks unexpected, effortless and chic," Ronson explained. "I love the way she is able to modernize vintage pieces by layering colors and patterns, then incorporate new pieces into her ensemble to create a unique look."

Designer Charlotte Ronson is more than just in the know when it comes to fall fashion—she's the one creating the trends. So what does this style star have her eye on for this autumn? "Printed floral dresses," Ronson told us in a recent interview. "Floral prints in plums, reds and rich jewel tones are easy to coordinate with tights and boots, and they also give you a feminine and flirty silhouette throughout the fall season. Wear it with a chunky sweater and leather jacket to create texture and keep you feeling warm and cozy." 
 
Her other big pick for the season? "A leather tee—it's a twist on the classic tee shirt, and the leather version is great for layering. It takes you from day to night and toughens up any outfit."
