Check out the AEO Denim X Straight Jean in Out to Play (slide 12, $49.95), the Boy Midi Short in Light Destroy (slide 10, $44.95), and the Tomgirl Jean in Shadow Patched Blues (slide 8, $59.95).

Most affordable, and a personal favorite, are the accessories (see the Choker Necklace in Black, $12.95, and the Triangle Pendant Necklace in Gold, $12.95). On the other end of the spectrum is the footwear, which ranges from laid back loafers to over-the-knee boots.

New York Fashion Week is complete, and the key trends for Fall/Winter 2016 have emerged from the runways. Perhaps you blame it on the return of the Star Wars franchise and the beloved companion of Han Solo, Chewbacca, but longer fibered, more natural-hued real and faux fur seem to be taking precedence on the runway for fall/winter 2016. Fur is, of course, not a surprising staple for winter collections, but this season’s lineup has rehashed it in order to make it feel fresh and edgy.

Sally Lapointe embellished her over sized knits with luxurious fur sleeves, while Zang Toi opted for more traditional vests and collar accents. Jonathan Simkhai showed ultra plush fur coats, and further proved this is a piece that is not going away any time soon. Moncler Grenoble perhaps took the most unique approach, even going as far to show the collection outside at Lincoln Center to truly expose its new garments to the elements Among the many ski-oriented clothing options from the brand were fur cuffs and lined boots, perfect for the sub-zero temperatures they were presented in. Click through the slide show above to see how these, and other brands and designers interpreted the fur trend this season.

MANGO Fall 2013 Collection

For fall 2013, MANGO stays on board with the trends that are certain to be huge in the coming months. With the roll-out of the new collection in August, I can assure you there’s plenty of garment variety, along with jewelry and accessories to choose from. Within this vast collection, many of these pieces can be easily morphed into the necessary day-to-night versatility.

As a whole, the collection consisted of several tones, ranging from pale jeweled hues to dark ombré ones. One of the standouts of the MANGO collection for fall is the simplistic yet incredibly wrought attention to detailing found in the blouses and dresses. Many of these bejeweled items had metallic embellishments and were paired with everything from silk blouses to chunky wool sweaters. The embellishments either trimmed the collars or made an art-deco, chevron pattern on the chest of specific garments.

And of course , no outfit is complete without the proper accoutrement, namely, a great piece of jewelry, so MANGO makes sure it is worn via chic metallic cuffs, collar necklaces, and my personal favorite, a great pair of star earrings. See the slideshow above for a sneak pic from fall, including some sure-to-sell-out items!

Glamorous Rock ‘n’ Roll for Club Monaco’s Fall 2 Collection

While previewing Club Monaco’s Fall 2 collection for 2011, I felt as though I walked into the closet of a glamorous-boho-chic woman of the 70’s, who is obsessed with rock ‘n’ roll, while at the same time is the ideal example of class and sophistication.

Not only was I enamored with the prints, sourced from vintage wallpaper found in London bookstores, but also the tasteful textures of velvet burnouts, faux fur, Mongolian lamb vests, and an ombre poncho. Patterned sweaters compliment well with the palette of black-tinted mulberries, rusts, and plums shades that are subtle but still quite rich.

And the details! The design team paid very close attention to the collection by adding fringe and leather flare making the collection elude an edgy appeal. The floral and feather prints in whimsical and flowy fabrics mixed with the combination of flared pants and wide brimmed hats achieved a fresh look and truly illustrate the dramatic inspiration. The mix of accessories seemed timeless, like they were taken them from a stylish grandmother’s closet.

The Fall 2 collection is also chock full with layers, which will give you a fall look without having the feeling of the winter blues. Each option is better than the next from the colors, to the textures to endless inspirations. I’ll take one of everything, please.
