LC Really Loves Her...Chanel Purse

While in LA a couple weeks ago I ran into LC at Hamasaku (fabulous Sushi Restaurant). She had her new fav accessory with her- the Chanel Quilted Double Flap Bag in black. Now I know that the chain straps can remind you of your grandma's purse from the 80's but it's back!

Hot Accessory: Chanel Clip

Believe it or not that is Ashley Olsen escaping the paparazzi. You can see that she's sporting a Chanel Hair Clip, which she also wore on Oprah last week. The Chanel Hair Clip seems to be a hot accessory right now. It actually looks good with a black skirt and white button up dress shirt or blouse. I know it sounds 80's but make sure to secure a bun with it, not just a ponytail or you will look 80's. Go down to your local chinatown and pick one up for $5 or you can always get it at Chanel for over $300 (which Style Cabana does not advise since it's a trend).

Indian Summer Outfit

It's that time of year when there are cooler days with a few 80 degree days sprinkled in. So what to wear on those warm days when the day before you were wearing a wool sweater, leggings and boots? Take a cue from Reese Witherspoon, in this cute black t-shirt dress with brown belt and dark accessories. Now is not the time to wear those bright summery, sherbert colored dresses just because it is the same temperature as it is in July- it's still fall so dress like it! Reese's t-shirt dress and wide brown leather belt can be found probably at Gap, J. Crew or Banana Republic. Enjoy any of those last warm days of fall!

Hot Trend: Faux Fur

Fur jackets and vests seem to be in style every winter but this winter especially seems to be focused on fur. Don't go for the real deal, like Rachel Zoe, you could have PETA people throw paint on you in protest and it's super expensive. Instead go for the faux fur option. Express has a great faux fur jacket for only $168 (pictured above). Just make sure whatever coat you get looks luxe not super fake like your old teddy bear!

Socialite Steps out in Booties

Manhattan Socialite Olivia Palermo was spotted wearing the light gray shootie/booties. Her shoes look very similar to the Steve Madden's posted here last week, although I'm sure hers cost a lot more than $79. Olivia is going to be starring in The City (Hills spin off) as Whitney's new BFF. Can't wait to see that!

Trend Alert: Hippie Headbands

A trend that is quite bold and has been taking off since summer is the Hippie Headband. I saw it on girls at Lollapalooza, clubs in LA and of course celebrities. My favorite version of the look was worn by Lauren Conrad this week at her own fashion show. She wore a black and gold chain headband. I'm not sure I like the extra wide silver sparkly headband she wore at Lo's birthday party- it's a bit much. Of course I could not bring up the topic without showing the Queen of Hippie Headbands- Mischa Barton. Shown in very literal and subtle versions. To get the look go to Target, they have a wide variety of headbands.

Hot Trend: Liquid Leggings

I just got back from a trip to LA and one of the hottest trends out there right now is Black Liquid Leggings. I know this sounds a bit crazy but check out how LC rocked a pair just last week. They look dressy. Just make sure you wear an oversized top with them so they will not look dominatrix-like! The max you should spend on these are $29. Find them at trendy boutiques like Akira (in Chicago) and Anat B (in LA).

Must Have Shoe: Booties

This fall and winter will continue a trend in shoes that started last winter- Booties! Check out the super chic and trendy bootie from Steve Madden, the Luxe Magic Suede Bootie. I had the chance to see these on Style Cabana reader Megan and they look even more fab in person! They look great with pencile skirts, dresses or jeans. These can be found at DSW Shoes for $79.95.
