Autumn Outwear

Fall might be the fashion world’s favourite time of year. It’s not too cold that you have to sacrifice style for function, but there’s just enough chill in the air to justify a new coat. Colour blocking brights, mixed patterns, fur, and texture took center stage on the fall 2011 runways, so don’t be afraid to stray from basic black—there’s enough time for that once winter hits.

1. H&M Waistcoat, $59.95
2. Joe Fresh Plaid Coat, $89
3. Forever 21 Toggle Button Jacket, $39
4. Anthropologie Sweeping Swing Coat, $498

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

From simple to retro chic, here are a few Zoe-approved looks to inspire you for the upcoming season.

Color Blocking

This trend is certainly a huge hit this fall, but don’t be afraid to had a fun element to your outfit, be it feathers, sequins, or a fun accessory. Who said cold weather has to mean gloomy clothes?
