Among the things I love about Fall is that you can dress comfortably without being slobby. Roomy sweaters are the way to go — they provide warmth, hide the effects of comfort food, and make you a feel like a bundle of cool. Shopbop has a collection of sweaters that fit the bill. This b.chyll Sable Cashmere Sweater ($418) is extra spacious and comes with handy oversize pockets. Sweet. Read more

Fab Ad: Alexander McQueen Fall '08

After taking a five-year hiatus from advertising, Alexander McQueen relaunched his campaign efforts with his Fall '08 collection.

Fab Ad: Rock & Republic Fall '08

Rock & Republic stuck to what it knew best for its Fall Campaign — rock. That said Malgosia Bela and Vladimir Roitfeld look pretty bored for portraying rock stars. The photo shoot, shot by Mark Segal and directed by Julia Roitfeld, depicts the two in their R&R gear amongst a slew of amplifiers and wires. The set looks stark and overly clean; musicians don't live like that! Julia should Read more

Fab Ad: Hermes Fall '08

Who ever said models were dainty? Not me. They get to wear coveted clothes and attend fabulous parties, but what about posing mid-air on a ladder, or in this case, lugging around an ox in the frigid snowy mountains? Leave it to Hermes to create yet another masterpiece with its Fall ad campaign. The trooper is Mariacarla Boscono, whom you may recognize from Pucci's psychedelic Fall campaign. This Read more

Take a close look. Do you notice the subtle juxtaposition between the smooth leather and suede of these Oscar de la Renta Leather Boots ($1,195)?
