Brooches at Verrier, Rag & Bone, and United Bamboo.


Style tip?  There’s nothing quite like a brooch to add a dose of instant style to an outfit.  You can go big (a la Carrie from Sex and the City), or you can try a smaller piece in an eye catching color or texture.

Fall 2009 Fashion Week Trend: Capes and Capelets

Capes and Capelets at Jeremy Laing, Y-3, and Tuleh.


Style tip?  Capes and Capelets add a posh, Euro chic touch to any outfit.  They’re a great layering piece and can add texture (as at Tuleh), a sleek sophistication (as at Jeremy Laing), and warmth (as at Y-3).  Capelets are lovely on petite women, while full length capes are better worn by taller women.

Fall 2009 Fashion Week Trend: Layered Dresses

Layered Dresses at Karen Walker, DKNY, and Rag & Bone.


Style tip?  You don’t have to stick your short sleeved and sleeveless dresses into storage when it’s cold out.  Just layer them over a long sleeved shirt or sweater.  Solids are safe, but don’t you love the visual texture of the grey dress over the green and grey stripes?  Gorgeous.

Fall 2009 Fashion Week Trend: Deep Blue

Deep Blue at Lela Rose, Lacoste, and Tuleh.


Style tip?  Blue is such a relaxing color, and it’s a perfect shade for cool weather days.  For the longest, leanest look, you can wear blue head to toe.  But blue doesn’t have to be boring - for more visual variety, combine different shades of blue in the same outfit, as in the Lacoste example.
