Mod love

SIXTIES STYLE: A modern riff on mod is in vogue. Think minidresses, headbands and cropped jackets. You can also bring a bit of the era into your clothes through color. Pick a mostly monochromatic pallete or white, black and/or gray and punch it up with pops of bright color. If you're going with a minidress, stick with platforms, which are still in style, or tights and boots. Need a little visual inspiration? Try old photos of Twiggy, or if that's reaching back a bit too far, Austin Powers.

I LOVE these jackets for fall, especially the Marc Jacobs one. Here's a secret: I just got a similar, surprisingly well-made one from Forever 21 of all places! It's a great deal and I already wore it once last week when the temps dipped, and I got a ton of complements.
