Cool Weather Trends Part Two

ANIMAL PRINTS

This beaded leopard print bracelet is an unexpected way to add a little animal print into an outfit ($15).

MILITARY CHIC

Military touches are showing up on jackets, pants and accessories this fall. This scarf with gold button detail has a military feel without being costumey (and is a great deal for $20!). Available online in bright red (shown), lilac and cream; available also in black and grey (in stores only).

VELVET

The combination of the simple shape and the embossed shapes updates this velvet clutch and makes it a great statement no matter what the occasion ($45).

CHUNKY KNITS

Three cheers for this warm and cozy trend! We are loving these chunky cable knit convertible mittens, which allow you to use your fingers when you require the dexterity but also keep those digits warm when you don't need them ($15).

EVERYTHING BELTED

Dresses, sweaters, and ponchos are coming down the runway with belts cinching them in and creating a great feminine silhouette. We love this black leather and silver chain version for its slightly rocker vibe and versatility ($20).

Cool Weather Trends

We've taken trends from the runway to the Lou Lou way! Be in style without breaking the bank with these fall and winter trends (all items are available on our website or in stores).

CAPES AND PONCHOS

Stay warm (and stylish!) this fall by layering this poncho over a long sleeve tee, skinny cords and comfortable boots. Available in navy or cream ($55).

CAMEL

It's popping up from coats, to dresses, to accessories and is the perfect neutral to pair with brown, black and rich fall hues! We like this clutch from vegan brand Shiraleah ($54)

FAUX FUR

Slightly retro and completely modern, these fun fur stoles are a great accent to a cocktail dress! They are also already a best seller for the holidays! Available in a short length ($25) or long length (show, $32).

JEWEL TONES

Jewel tones have become a go-to for colder weather baubles and for good reason! We recommend our Tiara Necklace which comes in a trio of jewel inspired hues ($50 each).

 A POP OF RED

Accessorize neutral outfits with a bright red accent. We love this deep red leather wallet from Hobo ($100), which can serve double duty as a sophisticated and understated clutch with a great party dress.

Tall Socks are Making a Splash!

Being on the East Coast, we love this trend of thicker, taller socks making an appearance peeking out of boots or paired with heels for a sexy librarian-esque statement. Throw a pair of tights underneath and you are set for the bitterly cold days and you can beat the chill in style! Lou Lou is carrying cashmere and wool blend socks by B. Ella in both mid calf and (our favorites) over the knee styles. Pick a pair up today!

Our favorite ways to wear them (and styling suggestions):

A nice fall orange peeking out of tough boots

Runway (as seen at Frye)

Lou Lou Way: We would go for a lighter color combination that will look great against black or brown. Paired over plain tights, this look will keep you warm even on the chilliest of days!

Runway (Dolce and Gabbana)

Lou Lou Way: We went with a slightly more colorful version by pairing a deep plum color with lighter grey shoes to add visual interest.
