 This fall, fur will be “in” once again. But this year, look for jackets, coats and other fall pieces with just touches of fur, rather than completely made from fur.
This Jean Paul Gaultier jacket pictured here is a prime example of the trend. This fleece jacket features classic Fair Isle print trim and a two-way zipper.
The highlight of this hip-length jacket, however, is the Mongolian lamb peplum hem. This fluffy hemline gives this piece just enough pizazz without being overdone.
Look for plenty of fall jackets, bags, shoes and other items with just a touch of fur this fall.

 Straw hats
Get into straw hats this summer, and they don’t have to be big floppy beach hats. Try a straw cowboy hat in traditional neutrals or fun colors. We love the Tarnish Crochet Straw Hat from Nordstrom with beaded detailing. For just $38, this hat is a fabulous buy.
Ladylike headbands
Pull your hair back with a headband embellished with beading, lace, ribbons and other ladylike accents. You’ll adore the Tasha ‘Sasha’ Head Wrap with its sculpted metallic flower and chunky pearl beads. This headband is the perfect way to deal with a bad hair day.
Citrus shades
The hottest colors for summertime are lemon yellow, tangerine and lime green. For an easy-going tote bag, pick up the Grovestand on the Go Tote from ModCloth. This fresh bag is the ideal alternative to paper or plastic for your grocery store trips. This eco-friendly tote is available for under $7 and it folds up into its own little fruit-shaped pouch.

If you are shopping for a new dress, consider one of these trendy styles that are here to stay.
Checked Shirtdress
Inspired from decades gone by, the shirtdress can take you from the office to a date without missing a beat. Shop for a shirt dress with a flattering A-line shape to look your best. We love the Fact Checker Dress from Modcloth, on sale for $49.99.
Tribal Print Wrap Dress
The wrap dress was introduced by Diane von Furstenberg back in 1973 and the style has been a favorite around the globe ever since. This season get into a wrap dress in a tribal print. The Gemma Tribal Wrap Dress from Banana Republic is terrific, and it’s available for just $98.00.
