Simply Vera Vera Wang for Kohl's Fall 2010 Lookbook




For Fall 2010, the Simply Vera Vera Wang for Kohl's collection plays to its signature strengths of texture, color and modern proportions. Pleats, sequined panels and ruffles add flare to tops, jackets and dresses. Rich, jewel-toned hues are incorporated in printed, patterned and solid treatments on feminine fabrics and embellished detailing. Think reds, greens, grays, purples and blues for a warm and inspiring palette. Key pieces include the traditional cardigan with an artful twist—such as military-inspired, open-front or cropped—worn buttoned, belted, wrapped or layered for an updated look. Accessories are all about the modern glamour of a jeweled necklace, a sequined scarf or studded satchel. Highlights for me include a paneled sequin top ($48), motorcycle jacket ($78) and padgett over-the-knee boots ($109.99). You can find these pieces now with more being released in September at Kohl's stores and online at Kohls.com.

Macy's Ready-to-Wear Fall 2010 Lookbook

Macy's Ready-to-Wear Fall 2010 Lookbook

For Fall 2010, Macy's is celebrating the season with four main trends: Brick, Down to Earth, Metropolis, Caravan and Knit Picks. Roughly translated, we can look forward to a color palette of autumnal hues, menswear-inspired fabrics, minimalist glamour, eclectic vintage-inspired pieces and modern sweater knits. The must-have pieces to get the look? Something pleather, statement jackets, faux fur, novelty sweaters, lace trim, feminine blouses, slouchy trousers, slim pants, utility everything and lots of leggings! I'll let the clothes do the talking. I'm loving the juxtaposition of soft and edgy (nothing new, but well done by Kensie and BCBGeneration), the ghillie tie ankle boots and the cargo jacket. Take notes, people!
