Allie's Picks:

Blazer_2 Lacedress

Equestrian

Not since Ralph Lauren launched Polo in 1967 has there been such an affinity for equestrian wear. Think of Dolce and Gabbana’s Fall 2008 ads full of tweed, wool, and plaid. This herringbone blazer by Smythe features leather padded elbows, two button closure, and a classic tailored fit.

Lace

No longer granny’s staple, lace is abundant this season, and it’s anything but sweet.  Prada’s Fall campaign showed a dark, almost Gothic use of the classic Victorian fabric. This Marc by Marc Jacobs dress conjures up a heavy, brooding, and romantic feel with it’s black layered hem and all over use of black metallic lace.

Poppy's Picks:

This fall, it is all about the return of the feminine aesthetic. Two of the biggest trends that will get you back to embracing your classically elegant “I am woman” side are fall floral prints and lady-like blouses.

 

Tibidress Blouse_2Fall Floral
Add some sophistication to your evening wear with a moody floral print, like this Tibi strapless gathered silk dress with sweetheart neckline, available at Saks Fifth Avenue. This dress is the perfect embodiment of the trend with the jewel toned, art inspired print that will add some color to your monochromatic fall wardrobe.

Feminine Blouses

This fall, ditch your t-shirts and sweater sets for a beautifully detailed, semi-sheer blouse. This silk Gianna Blouse from JCrew is ultra-feminine, understated sexy, and a perfect representation of the trend. Plus, it will effortlessly transition from day to night with a quick change of your jacket.

Bag

BootiesPut it together with a refined statement satchel like this Chole bag from Bluefly and a pair of menswear inspired Oxford Booties. Classic and practical, these "of the moment" shoes take any outfit from simple to simply amazing.

I love the mix of the tweed and soft frilly blouse - and the shoes are to die for - good picks and a great eye
