Retail Site Review: Ann Taylor’s fall runway looks

By Andrea Thatcher on October 8th, 2007

Some people see Ann Taylor as a bit uptight and conservative, but they really have the trends down to a ‘T’ this season. Their Fall Runway selection includes all the top styles with the option to buy the complete outfit, so you don’t have to worry about going from store-to-store for each piece. There are two categories to choose from–Early Fall and Late fall–both had hot designs, but I thought the Late Fall was a bit more in tune with the top trends, except for the fitted white blouse with pencil skirt and patent leather peeptoe pumps, (total: $344) above. My favorite ensemble is the dark chocolate sweater dress with belt, long gold layered necklace, shiny croco weekender bag, platform booties and black tights (total: $818). It looks so incredibly chic and sexy–I would never have guessed it was from Ann Taylor.

Fall Fashion Pick of the Week #4: The cape

By Andrea Thatcher on September 27th, 2007

fall%20capes.JPGThe cape is huge this season, and a great fall must-have for all those chilly, but-not-yet-freezing days. So, I’ve come up with a selection of chic styles to keep you fashionably cozy. The first two, above, are lighter designs to wear now through mid-fall. The cape on the left, is a cute and comfy Echo buttoned-down chunky capelet for $98. I really like the big, bold buttons and the over-sized, folded-over turtleneck. On the right is the adorable Portolano ruffle-edge cape for $250. A bit more expensive, but the ruffles and horn-shaped toggle buttons are so sweet, I couldn’t resist. Check out more, warmer-styled capes at the jump.

Plaid wraps–expensive to cheap from Burberry to Urban Outfitters

While procrastinating at work, I came across this Check Wrap Coat by Burberry for $1,395 and realized I’d seen something just like it while shopping at Urban Outfitters the other day. At Urban the Lux Little Edie Cape is only $78. If you belted it, it would look so cute and really similar to the Burberry item. These plaid numbers are perfect for keeping you toasty and comfortable when the weather turns cold, while still looking very city chic.
