If the knitwear, fuzzy fur, and animal prints aren’t enough of a hint, a runway enveloped with fall leaves and adorned with tree branches, along with head ornaments along the lines of antlers, should be screaming Unique‘s vision to you: amidst the wilderness emerges a female hunter, raised amongst the deer, befriended by the wolves. Well, perhaps that was the work of my imagination, but this timely fall collection is indeed somewhat a call to the wild, with knits, bulky jackets, long sweaters, fur-trimmed leather jackets and white shirts printed with pictures of foxes and such. But Unique’s isn’t just a woman of the wild; she is also a hunter, it seems, or a scout, a soldier. Also present this season were military suits, badges and blazers. She isn’t entirely masculine or feral either – returning to her femininity as she throws on sheer dresses beneath her long jackets and fur. It will be interesting to see how the fans translate such savageness into high street-appropriate chic come this next winter.

As everyone in New York has realized by now, winter is here, which can be a bit of a downer for all of us struggling to stay fashionable without sacrificing warmth and comfort.
Luckily, Topshop is keeping us covered with their ever-expanding line of winter accessories. With new hats, scarves, and gloves being stocked every week, the hardest part about keeping warm and staying stylish this season will be fighting the crowds in-store!
My favorite this week? Charcoal Lace Trim Gloves (they also come in black), which retail for $36. The knitted gloves feature lace and beading detail and are made from 70% Lambswool, 20% Angora, and 10% Nylon – sure to keep your hands pretty and toasty!
If you’re in or around New York, check out their US flagship on the corner of Broadway & Broome. If not, you can order online (half-price shipping until Christmas!) by going to their website > winter accessories > gloves.

As far as the fashion industry is concerned, the ’80s are here to stay – and have been in a big way these past few years. Some of the ’80s-inspired styles have been great, and some not-so-great, but one revival I hope will be sticking around are patterned tights. While black opaque tights are a wardrobe staple and appropriate for all occasions, funky patterned tights are a great way to spice up any otherwise dull, casual outfit.
Luckily, patterned tights have been all the rage this season and thus can be found nearly anywhere; however, I can’t think of any pair I’ve seen cuter than these Topshop Large Heart Opaque Tights! For just $20, you can immediately kick any outfit up a notch with these fun, flirty tights. The best part? They’ll go with nearly anything, and will look particularly fabulous paired with this season’s trendy ankle or thigh-high boots.
To purchase, visit Topshop.com (make sure you’re viewing the US site!), click tights & socks -> tights. Or, if you’re in the NYC area, simply visit their US location on the corner of Broadway & Broome!
