Cool Camo

Some of the top magazine editors have proclaimed that if there is one piece for them to get this season, its a pair of camouflage pants. Army inspirations have been going strong and fall fashion weeks cement this style into our wardrobes. This pair of camo pants from the Gap are exactly what the style doctor ordered, with military influenced cargo pockets and a slim, straight fitting leg. Don't blend in, stand out in this cool camo.

Smells Like Style

Balenciaga recently launched a fragrance aptly named Balenciaga Paris and I am thrilled. I will be honest and say I have yet to smell the namesake essence of Balenciaga, available exclusively at Neiman Marcus, but I have very high hopes. The bottle is simply killer, so regardless I am sure this new fragrance smells like style.

Mulberry Street

It seems that one way to cement yourself as a style icon is to collaborate on a bag design. Kate Moss is doing it with Longchamp and now Alexa Chung is joining the ranks with the Alexa Bag for Mulberry. The bag emulates Alexa's downtown preppster look and the British cutie has already been spotted carrying around her namesake tote. Add that to the recent showing of Chung's collaboration with denim darling Madewell, that has been getting rave reviews, attests to the fact that she isn't going anywhere soon. But the best way to start snagging Alexa's signature style is by taking a trip down Mulberry street.

Bada Boum

One thing a couple of designers from NYFW have been toying with is the idea of being able purchase items fresh off the runway instead of waiting months until fall rolls around. I love this idea of instant gratification because when I see something I like, I want it NOW! Rebecca Minkoff is one designer who is trying out this new method by making a limited quantity of this Bada Boum tee from her fall presentation available for purchase now. So Bada Boum, need we say more.
