Hat Trick

I was never strong at math but here’s an equation to contemplate. If you take the post-royal wedding obsession with dramatic headgear and multiply it by the current western frontier trend, what does that equal? The answer is fall’s statement making wide brim and cloche hats, all in western-inspired colors like brown, black, grey, camel, and navy. These gorgeous toppers were all over the fall RTW runways at Gucci, Lanvin, Dsquared2, and Moschino. Designers opted for warm materials like wool, felt, and suede. So you don’t have to compromise style for comfort. Just pull a hat trick!

Just In Lace

Maybe it’s the Kate Middleton effect, but we’re in love with ladylike dressing. One way to get the prim and proper look is with lace, whether it’s a dress, top, or accessory. Lace pieces have an old-fashioned vintage appeal that’s ideal for work or play, as well as a bit of a naughty side. Pair it with something edgy (think leather, studs, or sultry colour schemes) to keep it from being too sweet, or go head-to-toe and embrace the duchess within.

1. TopShop Lace Flippy Dress, $95

2. J.Crew Heather Lace Mini, $86

3. Free People Scalloped Hem Lace Short, $77

4. N et-a-porter Carven Cotton Lace Blouse, $785, available from

5. Forever 21 Tailored Lace Jacket, $30

Jeans, Please

Once September hits, it’s time to shop for jeans. When you invest in a classic quality pair you can wear them season after season. But every girl’s got to branch out from the dark denim skinnies once in a while. This fall, denim trends call back to the 70s and 80s, with bright colours, exotic patterns, and wide-legged silhouettes. Here are our high/low picks for the jeans of the moment.
