Trend Alert: Textured Jackets

Cool-weather layers can get dolled up.

Cool-weather layers can get dolled up. Just take a look at Emily Deschanel, who made a statement with her cold-weather gear via a textured jacket. They may be a perfect match for special occasions — textured with sequins, lace, and ruffles — but that doesn't mean they won't play nicely with your denim or military cargos, too.

Trend Alert: Major Drop Earrings

If there's one time of year to bring out the big guns in your jewelry box, it's the holidays.

If there's one time of year to bring out the big guns in your jewelry box, it's the holidays. And, as Ashlee Simpson demonstrates, major drop earrings make quite the statement. Dropped and jeweled, glittering and gold, this is elegant statement jewelry at its best. For the full effect, look for earrings with three to four jeweled sections on the drop, and big, bold-hued stones to play up the drama.

Trend Alert: Fall's Moody Argyle

We've seen preppy, peppy argyle before, but it's Fall's moody argyle that Claudia Schiffer's sporting that has my full attention at the moment.

We've seen preppy, peppy argyle before, but it's Fall's moody argyle that Claudia Schiffer's sporting that has my full attention at the moment. With a dim color palette, this look is just a little on the darker side — and so Fall-appropriate. Try the classic pattern in deeper shades of purple, blue, forest green, and black for a more serious approach to the prep-school staple.

Trend Alert: Spotty Dotty Scarves

Scarves serve a practical purpose for sure, but that doesn't mean they have to be all business.

Scarves serve a practical purpose for sure, but that doesn't mean they have to be all business. Rachel Bilson proves that spotty dotty scarves have way more fun. With sweet spots in bright colors or classic hues, we love these scarves in lighter, breezy fabrics — perfect for transitional dressing. In fact, we'd wear it just this way, paired with simple separates, distressed denim, and a military jacket, or boyfriend blazer. Just a hint of cool and a little girlie, effortlessly thrown on to take you beyond your basics.
