The scrunchy boot is here for fall! Last fall we seen the skinny boot, which charged into spring, but designers like Mar Jacobs, Givenchy, Balenciaga, and Jill Stuart have all walked a variation of these boots down the runway for their Pre-Fall collections. It’s hard to say yet whether this trend will carry on into next year or if it’s just a one hit wonder.

The jumpsuit has returned as a hot 2008 summer trend. Available in a variety of styles and colors, this vintage fashion staple is one of the most versatile pieces you’ll own.

The best way to wear it this summer? By keeping it simple with a pair of mile high heels, a great bag, and a pair of oversized sunglasses ala Nicole Richie.

 Check out Vanessa Paradis’ new Fall 2008 campaign for Miu Miu.

She looks hot as a futuristic superhero, but I personally think Ms. Paradis is better suited to boho-chic labels like Sonia Rykiel or the classic Chanel.

Not familiar with Vanessa Paradis? She’s the French singer/actress/model keeping Johnny Depp’s feet warm at night. The couple have been together for nearly a decade and have two children.

Sporting a clutch is always in, but check out this funky fresh take on a classic from Marc by Marc Jacobs. It’s the oversized Airliner Magazine Clutch, seen here in black, but also available in bright blue. The bag is backordered in most places like Neiman Marcus, Barney’s and Net-A-Porter.

Patterns are IN, IN, IN this season! Which is why you should try plaid.

This classic style gets a modern update all over the runway this year with new and interesting details.

This Elizabeth and James Bonfire shirt stands out as a mix between masculine and feminine (side note: it was designed by the Olsen twins).

The Ascot does double duty; it keeps your neck warm and looks chic. It also holds the title for the easiest scarf tie.

Hold the scarf around your neck and tie it into a simple knot at the front.
Spread open the gathers and tuck into your coat or an open neckline. For an updated look, try it untucked.

For an elegant look perfect for the office, try the long tie.

Drape a long scarf around your neck and tie a simple knot in one side of the scarf about half way down the length.
Pull the other side of the scarf through the knot, adjust so it is well positioned, and tighten.

 

The most popular, and one of the best scarf ties to keep you warm, is the Loop.

Fold a long scarf in half and place it behind your head. Wrap it around your neck and slide the ends through the loop, making sure they’re almost even. Adjust the scarf until it’s snug.
