Love the start of the new seasons when all is new. Labor Day weekend is the time to see the new collections, as well as check out the last of the summer sales. Armed with the fall trend list, you have a better idea of what will carry you through the coming months.

Among what's new at Neiman Marcus is the Rachel Zoe collection which will appeal to those with a taste for the L.A. celebrity stylist's '70s boho glam.

Rachel Zoe faux fur turn-lock coat ($550) and motorcycle leggings ($275).

Then, on the heels of Karl Lagerfeld's capsule collection for Macy's introduced Aug. 31, set to arrive Sept. 13 at Target is the retailer's Missoni collaboration line. It's a simpler version of the original, but I'm looking forward to seeing what the quality of the knitwear is like. Would be great if the quality is good and could augment the M Missoni pieces I already have. Here are four looks from the collection:
