Fall 2010 Picks: Lucy

Hello lovely ladies (and gents - love you guys too!).....I thought that I'd start off hump day by posting some of my favorite fall pieces. While today's weather keeps me guessing (I've already changed my outfit twice), I'm absolutely certain that I want to snag each and every one of these items. I hope you dig 'em too!


1) Free People Tulip Hem Quilted Jacket - $168

This quilted jacket will be your fall wardrobe staple…it evokes the equestrian look spotted time after time on the runways of Burberry and Hilfiger. Throw it on over an earth-toned bodycon dress or rock it with skinny cargos and riding boots to create a slim and structured silhouette without looking like a Ralph Lauren wannabe.

2) Free People FP-1 Godet Maxi Skirt - $128

One of our favorite Fall 2010 trends is the maxi length, simply because it is so unsuspected. In recent spring and summers past, designers have constructed these floor-length dresses and skirts in vibrant hues from breezy fabrics. The maxi trend has since made its mark as a fall staple, turned autumn-appropriate with darker hues and thicker fabrics. The FP-1 Maxi Skirt is one of my favorite fall pieces because of its exquisite hand-made construction as well as its versatility; its fitted elastic band allows you to wear it as a strapless maxi dress or pull it down as a skirt. With changing temperatures, however, layering it key; experiment by wearing it thermals, woven button-downs, lace camisoles, or even a denim or suede vest.

3) Evil Twin Blue Velvet Drape Vest - $78

Velvet is a cold weather staple! Create a luxe layered look by throwing this vest over a bodycon dress or a tank with leather-panel leggings.  Don't forget to add tons of silver chains to complete the outfit!

















4) Shape Shiftr Silk Tail Blouse in Black - $188

There is nothing - AND I REPEAT, NOTHING - more chic than a semi-sheer black button-down paired with stovepipe skinnies and killer wedge booties. I especially dig the asymmetrical hemline on this one. Add statement jewelry to highlight your look and create a juxtaposition between the background of a dark ensemble.












5) Mink Pink Wild Things Button Tank - $62

For some reason, animal prints (leopard especially) keep weaseling their way back into fashion lines….and we sure don't hate it! This tank makes nailing the jungle trend super-easy. We love it tucked into a black bandage skirt or paired with skinny jeans, heels, and a structured blazer.
