Look Book Love: Zara, September '09
I've come to the conclusion that I'm a Zara girl. As of late, I can't get enough of its sophisticated and fairly affordable options. In fact, the Spanish retailer just announced it will start selling its collection online in the UK and other European countries — lucky!
Celebrity Style: Claudia Schiffer
Fall hues can be tricky, but Claudia Schiffer can serve as our model (pun intended!). The gorgeous mommy picked her kids up from school in an ensemble that is neither too polished nor too messy. On top, she looks refined in an orange sweater, topped with a beige poncho that takes center stage.

Would You Wear a Cape?
Yes — I love this dramatic look.
No — they're not very functional.

Risk-takers, I dedicate this to you. If you're not afraid to try something daring consider this Avant Garde Draped Cape, one-size. It's a sweet cover-up and, as shown left, will instantly jazz up a simple LBD.
Anna Sui Mongolian Fur Cape: Love It or Hate It?
Capes are such a fun way to dress up an evening look. I've actually collected a few, mostly faux and all vintage, in my lifetime. This Anna Sui Mongolian Fur Cape ($1,575) is interesting, to say the least.

As Fall slowly but surely creeps up on us, it's good to think about how you'll cover up once the weather turns chilly. How about with this Tweed Cape Coat? It's roomy, so it'll be able to handle all your layers, and it can work for sizes extra small to medium.
Trend Alert: Caped Crusaders
I have one friend who always loved capes. She sported an awesome black vintage one in the dead of winter before they were even trendy — though they are sort of classic — and she looked immaculate. She would wear it with black skinnies and vintage shoes, to give the cape some street cred.
Trend Alert: Short Capes
Though I already told you about this Fall's hottest coat trends, there is one cute, cutting-edge style I forgot to mention: short capes. Though capes are traditionally armless and bulky, these modern variations are more like coats, with cropped waists, big buttons, and delicate sleeves. A cape is also more timeless than you might think; you can always get away with throwing on a cape for a dressy evening gathering.
