Hit or Miss? Emma Watson

Emma Watson was spotted in London after a night of dancing at Mahiki nightclub. She wore a svelte trench with edgy black leather sleeves, a camel minaudiere and simple black patent pumps. I personally love her jacket! It's different, stylish and edgy. And it's suits her perfectly. She looks super sexy! Definitely a hit for me. What do you think? Hit or miss?

Leopard Booties Love or Hate?

Leopard prints are pretty much here to stay. They’ve been so popular for so long that they’re becoming a classic. One new place we’re seeing leopard prints is on feet. Stars like Jessica Simpson, Olivia Palermo, and Janet Jackson have all been photographed wearing leopard print booties, some of which (like Jessica Simpson’s) tread a fine line between shoes and booties.

Animal prints of all kinds promise to be big next spring, too, so if you were to buy leopard print booties now, you could keep right on wearing them up until the weather turns warm. The same is true of other leopard print accessories like leopard cuff bracelets and scarves.

The best way to wear this trend is to let your shoes do the talking and keep the rest of your outfit fairly simple and monochrome. Fortunately, leopard print goes with a lot of colors, so you’re not too restricted on the color of the rest of your outfit. They also go great with outfits featuring casual jeans and simple sweaters or tees. Gold jewelry goes best with leopard, though you could go with something shiny and black instead. What’s your take on the leopard print booties trend?

Toggle Coats Love or Hate?

Toggle coats, also sometimes called duffel coats, feature closings reminiscent of those found on children’s coats. This year, designers have come up with a number of adult versions of the toggle coat, taking classics like the pea coat and giving them a simple update as well as touches of luxury like leather. They’ve been photographed on Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Kate Bosworth.

While toggle coats with wooden toggles are the most casual styles, dressy black toggles are available too, making the look a bit dressier. Most of these coats are hip length, with some styles hitting at the top of the hips and others reaching just below the hips. The dressiest styles have a bit of an empire waist, with the toggles all at waist level or above, to allow the hem to flare outward.

What should you wear with toggle coats? Mini skirts with black tights and heels are good, as are slim black slacks. Jeans are great too, as are sweater dresses. And you have your choice of footwear, from flats to heels to boots. All in all, this is a fun new trend that can have a place in any wardrobe.

Do you plan to wear a toggle coat this winter?
