FALLing in Love
Sunday, November 7th, 2010
In Chicago, there are only a few quick weeks of brisk fall weather before winter’s frosty temps set in. While those weeks may be short-lived, they’re still highly anticipated by the fashion community. Season after season, fall collections are the most exciting, and we get to sport autumn must-haves before covering them up with the dreaded winter coat. This new season brings us a shift in color and texture—a dramatic change from summer’s threads. Bright patterns and flowing fabrics have now moved to the back of our closets to make room for new fall additions, including structured pieces, somber colors, luxe leather, surprising cut-outs and long-sleeve minis. Here’s a glimpse at my lust-worthy picks for Fall 2010.
Clockwise from upper left:
1. A.L.C. mini jersey dress ($298; Intermix). A simple long-sleeve mini in the season’s most coveted color and ruching at the hem makes it extra flattering.
2. Alexander Wang “Willow Frame Messenger” ($925; Barneys NY). The messenger bag grows up with a structured, ladylike shape and sultry red hue.
3. Sam Edelman “Zachary” ($208; Lori’s Shoes). A platform bootie that looks amazing paired with tights.
4. Drape neck sweater ($100; Zara). Cozy and chic, a modern cowl neck top is appropriate for work o play.
5. Ali Ro cutout dress ($264; Cusp). Unexpected cutouts give this cocktail dress a fresh approach.
6. Dana Rebecca Designs “Samantha Elizabeth” earrings ($1,540; Dana Rebecca). Black onyx paired with super Seven Quartz make these statement earrings a justified splurge.
7. Helmut Lang shearling jacket ($1,840; net-a-porter.com). Style meets function in this edgy yet warm jacket.
8. Essie’s “Sew Psyched” nail polish ($8; Essie). A refreshing alternative to fall’s standard Bordeaux nail lacquers.

Trend Watch: Statement Gloves
Monday, January 11th, 2010
Gloves can do more than merely keep your hands warm and accessorize your winter coat. From fingerless motorcycle gloves to knit armwarmers, the right pair can also add drama and individuality to your indoor ensemble. We aren’t talking about your typical mittens here. We’re talking about bold statement gloves that are fashionably on-mark and complete an outfit in an unexpected way. Experiment with such an accessory by adding one of these pairs to a chunky knit sweater and leggings, a sexy cocktail dress, a floral day dress, and even a vintage tee and jeans. You won’t want to miss out on the style power these gloves have to offer.
Clockwise from top:
ONE. Purple gloves with ruffle detail by Corder ($65; asos.com)
TWO. Black fingerless biker gloves by Carolina Amato ($44; Fix Boutique; 1101 W Fulton Market)
THREE. Nude and black leather and lace gloves by 3.1 Phillip Lim ($199; Barneys NY)
FOUR. Long, black leather gloves by Gala Gloves ($131; farfetch.com)
FIVE. Pink knit armwarmers by Topshop ($24; topshop.com)
Form and function can go hand-in-hand after all.
