TRENDING: Gold Noir

If you're among the flock that thinks this will be your last NYE, whatever will you wear?! We're predicting this year's hot commodity will be some combination of black and gold. We can't think of a better way to spice up basic black than by adding warm gold tones. The pairing was all over the runways in everything from gold pants and an inky sweater at Vivienne Tam, to a gold-sequined shift at Jill Stuart. Our fave is this Jill Stuart dress that goes for the gold with a subtle leaf print—kind of like this frock from Voom by Joy Han, on sale here.

TRENDING: Sneak a Peek

Sometimes, well, you have to show a little bit of skin to get things done. (Relax, we're not talking Erin Brokovitch.) What we are saying, however, is that we love the ladylike lace that came down the Fall 2012 runway, leaving little to the imagination in a refined way. Proceed with caution, though: it doesn't take much for this look to go from sultry vamp to Morticia Adams, so lace up in moderation.

TRENDING: Key Colors

The general style consensus has always been brights for spring, darks for fall. Not this year! Designers took spring's pastels and kicked them up a notch, making for a fall palette full of turquoise, chartreuse, tangerine, and azure. (That's teal, neon green, orange, and bright blue, to the lay person.) Mixed and matched, or one standout piece, it's a style statement we can't wait to make.

This Sue Wong stunner (get it here!) features a paisley pattern in opulent turquoise similar to this Tracy Reese blouse.

TRENDING: Color-Blocked Heels

Normally we think ensemble first, shoes second. But this fall, standing out starts with your footwear! The color-blocking trend we loved for spring has migrated south for fall/winter. Designers like Tracy Reese and the team at J.Crew (in order below!) outfitted their models in two-toned booties and pumps in colors that beg to be seen.
