Fall Trends 2011- Capes

  Capes are a garment for all ages, sizes, and lifestyle. They make an exceptional travel companion in the cold fall months. They are both modern and timeless and are THE alternative to a heavy coat, jacket or trench coat.

Celebrities and fashion icons are rocking the trend

Capes on the Runway

The pieces I have found are both very versatile to combine, great with skinny jeans, pencil skirts, slim pants on casual days. Some can be worn with dresses and  boots for a more trendy, dressy look. Each cape serves a very different look and purpose- from warmth and comfort to style and ease. They you will keep you warm and looking fantastic. Absolute must-haves this fall season.
