We're Back -- In Black!

Back in black – we hit the sack.
It's been too long we're glad it's back.


Black is back! I'm sorry guys, but I can't help but plagiarize from AC/DC's song "Back in Black" in order to emphasize that black truly is back. This season is all about the beautiful dark hue infused with classic Western cuts and fabric arrangements – also known as classy.

Some people like the brights (which has been pretty big this fall), but others like myself can't rid themselves of their devotion to the simple yet very mystifying black. And I mean, c'mon guys, black is cool. (Proof: It's Alexander Wang's favorite color!)

This fall you can cast aside the old myth that horizontal stripes should be avoided at all costs. Inspired by the super-sized style from the runways of Prada, Marc Jacobs, and Jill Sander, this season sees big bold stripes in neutral colors patterning wear-with-anything cable sweaters and knit tops alike. Leopard print shoes are undeniably one of the season's hottest trends, spotted on every celebrity as of late whether it be in a flat, a wedge, a pump, or a bootie (the Alexa Chung for Madewell "Zowie" booties, for example, are not to be missed!) so fittingly a leather bag in a rich brown is the perfect choice to offset the complementary tones of your leopard kicks.

We love LC's standout Chloe Coffee Paraty Tote and recommend a bag in a similar shade that calls to mind the caramel apples and warm cider that make autumn one of our favorite seasons. This brand-new B. Makowsky bag made of 100% genuine leather even has a gorgeous leopard interior to match your statement shoes! Want to see more styles?
