Monday night's Costume Institute Gala at the Met, the yearly event that never fails to bring out fashion's elite and Hollywood's glitterati, was a salute to supermodels hosted
by Kate Moss (in a faaabulous metallic turban by Stephen Jones) and designer Marc Jacobs. It's fitting then that many of the models in attendance signaled a serious trend in cocktail wear: short dress, bare legs, and ankle-high booties!

Since narrowly escaping bankruptcy due to Michelle Obama's well-publicized affinity for the brand, J.Crew is certainly taking the Oba-momentum and running with it! The classically preppy sportswear line's Fall pieces are an opulent collection of ruffled tops, slim cardigans, textured skirts, lean jackets and wool blazers in warm Autumn tones of pumpkin, gold, navy, gray and olive. And the accessories! Skinny belts cinch the lush layers topped with statement jewels and scarves. Take a close look: adding just one or two key pieces will inject the chic into any wardrobe effortlessly. Yup, J.Crew will be seeing a lot of me this Fall.
