Each day we scour the net looking for our favorite items, deals, and trends. Here’s what we discovered today!

We’re always on the hunt for amazing animal print pieces. Faux fur has come a long way, and a great leopard coat that’s kitty cat friendly is the perfect piece to add to your wardrobe for fall/winter 2012. Zara is a stylish place to find quality items at reasonable prices that can really add a ton of jazz to your closet. We love the ‘leopard print coat‘ with closely cropped sleeves, open collar, and amazingly chic, simple construction. Wear it with jeans, a simple tee, and Superga sneakers to grocery shop, or top off a black pleated A-line shift dress and classic heels for night. Drool.

Each day we scour the net looking for our favorite items, deals, and trends. Here’s what we discovered today!

How about some more, regular gloves today? Even though it’s a UK-based store, we love shopping online at ASOS. There’s always find something chic and interesting and fun. Moschino Cheap & Chic is known for their quirk and whimsy, and these gloves are an awesome accessory for fall. Made from a comfy merino and cashmere blend, they’ll bring a smile to everyone you wave to! So cute for the cooler temps.

Celebrity attempts at fashion design can sometimes be disastrous. Celebrity fashion designer collaborations with major fashion retailers can be even worse. Leave it to our girl Nicole Richie to get it just right. Previously known for her haute boho chic lines Winter Kate and House of Harlow, Richie brings her signature 70’s style to Macy’s with Nicole Richie for Impulse. We’re loving the glam, breezy silhouettes and gauzy fabrics. The 70’s are back in a big way for F/W 2012 (just ask Rachel Zoe), and the Impulse line is a great way to cash in on the trend without spending major bucks. We love the poet blouses and maxi dresses, as well as the amazing feather prints. Check out the collection, with very reasonable price points, at Macys.com!

Each day we scour the net looking for our favorite items, deals, and trends. Here’s what we discovered today!

A well-tailored, beautifully constructed floral silk shirt with a solid collar is a staple this F/W 2012. We’ve always adored designer Rochelle Behrens’ line, The Shirt, which was created with the sole intention of bringing the perfect shirt to women. Our pick today is ‘The Bloom Shirt‘ with its darling pops of fuchsia and flowers on a background of navy silk with light shirring at the shoulders. Impeccable tailoring means it will look fabulous left untucked over slim pants or skinny jeans and boots, or tucked into a sequined skirt (no gaping!) with simple heels. So perfect for the season.

Trend Report: Seeing Red

Red has always been in or out: one season red lips are cool, the next they’re passé. But this F/W 2012, red is back in a big way, and we mean really red. Look for pops of it in a bright skirt (preferably in leather or satin), skinny pants, sky high heels or embellished flats, leather or satin bags, luxurious, loose-weave knits, and trimmed, lady-like suits. We love seeing red right now! Pro tip: for ready-to-wear, stay away from the monochromatic look. It’s too harsh for everyday life. However, you can pair different shades in the same color family, for instance, a color block red sweater like the one above with oxblood denim skinnies and the Jeffrey Campbell ‘Martini’ flats.

Each day we scour the net looking for our favorite items, deals, and trends. Here’s what we discovered today!

Animal prints are all the rage right now, and stylists are getting bolder about mixing prints with typically contrasting prints. While we’re all about that, we prefer to keep it casual on the weekends. Old Hollywood has great vintage finds and this reversible tiger printed sweatshirt has us drooling. Pair it with your favorite jeans, some Superga sneakers, and go to the farmer’s market with your girlfriends!

Try one of the hottest shoe trends and go metallic. Silver, gold, bronze, copper, and pewter are all the rage. Our editors love the dressier heels for this look, but we’re also dying for Steve Madden’s glittery sneaker-soled skimmer flat. So sweet!

Step away from this season’s monochromatic look and mix it up a bit by pairing black and white for a dramatic ensemble. Look for black and white separates or go bold by mixing black and white patterns. We’re loving the look with simple black heels or black and white leather ankle boots!

Each day we scour the net looking for our favorite items, deals, and trends. Here’s what we discovered today!

One of the key pieces for fall is a structured, lady-like bag in a seriously bright color. Designers debuted several versions during NYFW, but our favorites came in cobalt blue, lime green, and fluorescent orange. Choosing a grown up looking bag constructed with a youthful pop of color is a great way to add life back into your fall wardrobe. Choose a tote or satchel for day and a clutch or mini messenger for night! We love all things Jason Wu, so we couldn’t resist choosing the ‘Saffiano Leather Accented Satchel‘ as our daily YES!

The weekly Want.It.Now chronicles our favorite shoe picks. Find out what we’re coveting this week!

One of the biggest trends for fall is the cap toe flat or heel. Since metallics are also huge right now, the ‘Anahi’ flat from Boutique 9 captures both trends in one shoe. The man made upper and super flexible sole make this flat ridiculously comfortable! Pair with slim pants and a great cashmere sweater in muted tones.
