Banana Republic, Fall 2012

 Conservative, but chic, warm and cory, in classic black, gray and neutrals from Banana Republic for Fall 2012. There is something about simple classic designs and pieces (like the knee-long skirt, classic trench, woolen coats) that I just can't get enough of.

Lyn Devon, Fall 2012

I am very pleased with Lyn Devon's Fall 2012 collection, with warm, cozy and classic essentials after my own taste: warm and cozy fabrics, knee-long skirts and dresses, turtleneck sweaters and chic coats. Mustard yellow tones, graphite gray, purple and ink blue make for a cool and sophisticated palette. I adore these pieces!

Salvatore Ferragamo, Fall 2012

 The Fall 2012 collection from Salvatore Ferragamo has a militia-inspired feel, with structured jackets, buttons, belts and collars. The color palette also brings about a military flavor, with black, gray, browns and greens. I love leather rimmed clothes for the Fall and Winter, and we can see a lot of that this season, including this collection.
