Elle's Fall A To Zee Trends: Long-Haired Fur

While I personally feel that fur belongs on my dog and nowhere else, I will admit it does add a certain glamour to winter get-ups. But not just any fur- long-haired fur is this season's most dramatic accessory, adding plush luxury to jackets, earmuffs, vests, and even jewelry. Throw subtlety out the window in a Ports 1961 long-haired fur capelet- don't worry, it's faux- or give your basic tee and jeans a wild edge with a faux fur vest from Express- at just $168, it's guilt-free style at its finest. But if only the real thing will do, invest in Chloe's Mongolian lamb coat, adorned with crystals and embroidery for utmost elegance, or Behnaz Sarafpour's sleek black goat hair jacket, perfect with party frocks and jeweled flats. Still unsure about this furry fashion trend? While we can't say PETA won't mind, we can say it doesn't hurt to look. Check out Elle's A to Zee Trends to see Joe Zee's picks, and click on our SLIDESHOW for more luxurious long-haired fur finds.

Elle's Fall A To Zee Trends: Dark Knight

Time to take a break from looking ahead to fall- the season's newest trend came alive centuries ago. The medieval-inspired look combines intricate, antique detailing with tarnished bronze and gold, which mingle with the ever-popular equestrian style for a trend that tells a story all its own. Sound like something you've seen before? Then delve into the dark ages with an edgier approach- think spikes and studs, leathers in dirty metallic shades, and knuckle rings- and let's not forget the makeup, with deeply stained lips in hues ranging from blood red to black. Wondering how to make the trend work for today? Try pairing a dainty white dress with Fabian y Felipe's oxidized silver and bronze necklace, and add Etro's metal belt if you're feeling extra adventurous. And they'll all be groveling at your feet when you don Miu Miu's crown-heeled stilettos, perfect for the princess who doesn't spend her days dreaming of a white knight. Go to Elle's Fall A to Zee trends to see Joe Zee's picks, and click on my slideshow for more ways to work the Dark Knight trend.

Don't Be A Hard Rock When You Really Are A Gem...Like An Emerald!

Want to turn heads and make them green with envy? Investing in emeralds is certainly one way to do that. Want the same gemmy green bling sans the hefty price tag? Consider tsavorite, a green variety of grossular garnet mined near Tsavo National Park in Africa, or chrome diopside, mined mostly around Siberia and described by the International Colored Gemstone Association as "a beautiful gem with an ugly name... [that] sounds more like car polish than a gemstone." Tsavorite and chrome diopside are both a brilliant, verdant green to rival any emerald and without being "enhanced" with oils or resins, a common trade practice with emeralds. It IS easy being green (unless you're Kermit the Frog), just check out my SLIDESHOW to see why!

Jewelry Class: Alexandrite a Worthy Upstart in the World of Rubies and Turquoise

In the far-reaching history of gemstones in jewelry, alexandrite is one of the "newer" stones, having been discovered in the Ural Mountains of Russia in the 1830s and named for Czar Alexander II at his coming of age ceremony; other gems such as turquoise, rubies, and pearls, have deeply ancient roots. So what's so exciting about relative newcomer alexandrite, affectionately called "alex" by many jewelers? For starters, it's truly scarce: natural alexandrite is extremely rare, especially in sizes over one carat. But the most fascinating aspect of this gem is its color-change characteristic, with the best quality stones displaying a brilliant verdant green in sunlight or fluorescent light and shifting to a remarkably rich red in incandescent light or candlelight; lesser quality stones are still unusually lovely, showing blue-green in fluorescent light and plummy purple in incandescent light. Read on for more on how to tell real from fake, and click my SLIDESHOW for some more of the amazing Alex!
