Four Great Fall Fashion Picks
Flare Flair
Give the skinny silhouette a rest and go for the freshest ’70s reboot around—the flare. Not only will it elongate your legs when you pair with an of-the-moment pump or wedge, it will become your season’s dress-up/dress-down piece. Case in point: these chic pants in soft blush by J. Crew. Love. Wear. Repeat.
Bring Back the Shine
Get out your bling, 'cause it’s going to look as bright as the day you got it with Connoisseurs® Diamond Dazzle Stik. This clever pen-like tool houses a gel of micro-fine cleansers and polishing agents married with a polymer that fills tiny scratches, creating an unmistakable luster for diamonds and precious stones. Not to mention the size is just right to pop in your travel case. Target, $7.99
We asked REBECCA MINKOFF
Q: What’s the best way to wow at a Sarasota fund raiser?
A: “Sometimes all you need is the perfect accessory—like my hex minaudiere clutch. A statement clutch adds sophistication with just the right amount of edge.”
Scent of a Woman
Azzedine Alaïa, a virtuoso of feminine design for the modern goddess, is synonymous with absolute beauty. And every beauty has a signature scent to complete her style. Enter: Alaïa Paris Eau de Parfum, a first for the designer. Airy notes and pink pepper teamed with peonies, freesia and musky animal notes fit the mystery and rhythms of the Alaïa-woman’s luxe life. Saks Fifth Avenue, $115
Ear Candy
If you’re beginning to flirt with alternative ear jewelry—namely the cuff— then check out Samantha Wills’ take, sweetly titled Horses and Hummingbirds. Rose quartz and crystals offset with sterling silver base plated in 9K rose gold will add an elegantly edgy touch to any look from desk to dinner. Bohemian Bliss, $179
