Fall for Fashion - Hoping that her jewel of wisdom sinks in, Keke dives into her fashion must-haves for fall. "I’m a fall shopper. I'm not really a summer shopper. I have a lot of sweaters, boots, long-sleeve shirts, jeans and sweatpants," the talented teen reveals. "I love shopping in department stores.

Bring It On - Try trends like tribal prints and make sure to rummage through your parents' closet for retro duds that you can repurpose. Flashy accessories will pull your looks together. "If you're rocking a dress for school and maybe you wanted to be a little more dressy that day, big rings and a great pair of earrings will help you play up your outfit," says Keke. Grab some great bangles, scarves and oversized belts as well. (Photo: Timothy Hiatt/Getty Images)

Work It, Girls\r - Girly-girls like Keke can go between ballet flats and cute ankle booties. Not too high, though. Keep the boys at bay. "You should definitely have some boots! Leather or UGG boots. Whatever one you prefer," the star chimes in. \r\r(Photo: Gregg DeGuire/PictureGroup)
