    We are officially in the throes of summer—100-degree days in New York, iced matcha in hand at all times—and somehow, fall is still all I can think about. Though I'm a certified summer girl through and through, I've been catching myself daydreaming about crisp fall days, oversized sweaters, and the outfits I'll wear once the temperature finally breaks. There's something about the in-between season that always gets me thinking ahead, even while I'm still very much in flip-flops and sweat puddles.

    Ahead, a few pre-fall finds worth shopping now, including fresh denim from Calvin Klein, funky bags, and fashion-girl favorites like Onitsuka Tiger sneakers.
