Erlanger some of Hollywood's brightest including Lupita N'yongo, Meryl Streep, Kelly Clarkson and more.

She also recently teamed up with TJ Maxx to kick start the retailer's new STYLED by Runway at TJ Maxx incubator program which is giving five emerging stylists hands-on mentorship, access to Runway’s high-end designer fashion to build their portfolios, funds to build their styling closet with premium fashion and exclusive opportunities to expand their skills and further their fashion careers.

"When trying new trends, I encourage everyone to consider their personal style — shop for one or two trendy pieces and find ways to incorporate it into your existing wardrobe to let your personal aesthetic shine through while keeping up-to-date with the latest fashion," Erlanger told "GMA."

She continued, "The fashion cycle moves fast, so you don't need to participate in every trend that comes up — just the ones that speak to you."

"Denim has long been a fall fashion staple, and creating a double denim outfit puts an elevated spin on a chic monochromatic look," said Erlanger. "You can get creative with your look and add denim accessories like handbags, hair accessories, jewelry and more."

"Pulling through rich-hued colors that capture the essence of fall – like olives, browns, reds and oranges – will add excitement and depth to your autumn wardrobe," said Erlanger.
