Color has been infused into our outerwear and thank goodness for it!  Dare you to find a black coat without it’s fruity colored counterpart lurking nearby.  Belted and found in bright fuchsia, yellow, green, orange – think fruit basket colors!

I’ve always loved the structure of ‘Andrew Marc‘ outerwear and he is right on-trend with this gorgeous teal version of the bright coat.

How to wear it?  Let it be your statement and don’t compete with it.  Keep bright colors to outerwear and leave the rest of your outfit neutral – black, navy and beige underneath highlight these coats best.  Keep belt tied tight to cinch the waist and your scarves and gloves are best also neutral.  Come across a fabulous 3/4 sleeve version? – why not pair with a killer pair of elbow length gloves.

Winter is depressing enough as it is so why not be bright and fabulous throughout it?

Fashionistas are flying to try the latest trend—pretty feathered hair accessories. Since the end of the summer I’ve been finding plummed headbands, hair combs and hair clips.

And now with fall they’re in deeper colors that are the feather trend to die for. My latest find is a feather hair clip for $20 from Urban Outfitters - gorgeous peacock, tan pheasant, and pinks all mottled (oh and a few rhinestones for spark). And for highend feather headbands also check out Plumashop.com

I also like this Urban Outfitter Vintage-inspired wool felt cloche trimmed with a tonal ribbon and topped with a cluster of coordinating feathers.

Love her or hate her she does have a knack for picking "it" and creating "it" lists’s not her fault her followers start looking alike because they can’t add their own personal zest to "the look."

It’s not uncommon for Zoe to dress her girls out of her own overstuffed closet, full of free clothes given to her by designers in hopes that she or one of her clients will be photographed in them. Since most of us can’t afford our own stylist we’re left to be satisfied by tips.

Revolve Clothing has released Part II of Rachel’s Fall Style Guide which allows us to get a glimpse of some of her favorite outfits. This is a much better alternative than her fee of up to $6,000 per day! *Let’s not wrongful give blame to Zoe for some of the 6am walk of shame outfit combos.

Here are some great knit "it’ picks: RACHEL PALLY – Scoop Bubble Dress. This one gets double points for being the first bubble dress I’ve seen that does not make you look like a circus act. This dress is so hip (easy to layer, pair with leggings, add a splash of red or black, long sleeves) and could easily become a classic. Get it here.

VELVET - Velvet Aveza Dress Velvet (the brand not the material) offers sensuous pieces that flatter without sacrificing feminine or fit. I’ve got some of velvet’s long tanks for layering up. They’re gorgeous, soft and great quality. This dress is a fabulous wardrobe staple. Get it here.

Also worth checking out is another Rachel Pally – in bungee.

It’s got the trendy slight bell sleeve, and its swing-line shape will work with skinny or layers – it’s stylish, cute and will definitely get you noticed. You won’t want to take it off! Tip: Accessories and jackets are the easiest ways to update your current wardrobe.

Pink is out! Red and burgundy for lips (go sheer red if you’re faint of heart) and pair with a rosy tone blush for cheeks.

Eyes: brows should be natural looking, but shaped (not overly tweezed) and lashes should just be one good coat of mascara (brown or black).

Foundation: this fall use it sparingly or go bare. A tinted moisturizer is a safe bet.

The final touch is a dark polish: browns or burgundy. This will subtly pop on fall’s tweeds and plaids.

Luxe Grunge – says it all

You may not wear an original MJ, but it’ll be hard to avoid the knock offs of this chicer updated grunge/boho collection; an unkempt approach to wardrobe (a la Olsen twins).

First motivated by Seattle’s groundbreaking rock scene in the 1990s – Jacobs’ update contains all the mainstays of yesterday’s grunge (flannel, plaid, layers and leg warmers) alongside today’s sophisticated pieces, including capes, shawls and jackets.
