Cool Weather, Hot Launches

The brand-new Fall fashion issue of InStyle Magazine is jam-packed with no less than 652 pages of fabulous fashion, accessories, beauty, celebrity fashion favorites and "Launches You'll Love," which will be available in stores in September. 

If you haven't already gotten your September issue, grab it at a newsstand soon. Meanwhile, here are some of the hot new launches which were touted in InStyle and about which we are very excited: 
Kirna Zabete at Target:  We have blogged about one of the previous "The Shops at Target" which features exclusive-for-Target merchandise curated from specialty stores across the country. This fall, a very popular boutique in New York City, Kirna Zabete, is creating a line for Target. The collection includes dresses, printed skirts, faux leather leggings, a faux leather skirt, a (genuine!) leather moto jackets and handbags and jewelry galore with prices ranging from $9.99-$199.99 (for the aforementioned leather jacket), so mark your calendars for the sale dates: September 9th to October 20th.  Susan is already "eyeballing" a tweed dress, which can also be worn as a "jumper" with a blouse underneath, which will retail at $45, while Dana is coveting the sealed-with-a-kiss envelope clutches, pictured below, which evokes fall's Surrealist trend. Check out the entire look book here.

Coach:  The Legacy Collection:  This Fall, Coach is building on its heritage with the Legacy Collection, including handbags, pumps, boots, jewelry, tech cases and sunglasses, all priced from $50 to $500.  According to Reed Krakoff, Coach President, as told to InStyle Magazine, "We haven't just re-introduced the styles... We've interpreted them for today, with bold color and better functionality for all the things women now carry, like phones and iPads."  Coach has sixteen handbag silhouettes - nine are twists on existing styles seven are brand new, with several new colors joining the classics. Among our favorite styles is the Tanner Tote in yellow.  Reed Krakoff told InStyle Magazine:  "Color is the new neutral.. Everyone's craving it these days. We thought, Why not do these iconic styles in an unexpected way?"  We agree! Read the story about Coach's history and the Legacy Collection here, and start shopping here.
