    7 Seriously Alluring (And Wearable!) Leather Mini Dresses

    Fashionistas just can't get enough of leather this fall. Moto jacket? Check. Fingerless driving gloves? Check. Liquid leggings? Check, once you work up the nerve to actually wear them. But one thing you may have yet to add to your autumn trend arsenal is a leather dress! I know it sounds risky, since prior to this recent leather invasion you probably associate the material mostly with biker babes and dominatrices, but you may be surprised to find that this season's leather LBDs aren't overdramatic. Instead, the latest leather minis simply provide a sexy sheen to otherwise modest silhouettes like this Gryphon smock dress and this shift dress from Alice + Olivia. Pair with a killer set of ankle booties for your next dressy night out, or add some serious sparkle with a bib necklace and you've got yourself a New Years Eve ensemble (hey, it's never too early to plan ahead)! Check the slideshow for some of my favorite leather dresses.

    Dressing In Nude From Head To Toe

    There is nothing more chic than dressing in one tone from head to toe. It used to be all black, but spring's new fresh trend is head to toe nude. Soft neutrals dominated the runways in the spring shows. Chloe and Stella McCartney's shows were both an ode to pale flesh tones, Donna Karan gave us warm nudes that evoke suntans and sandy beaches, even the man of darkness Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy showed beige clothing and buttery pale leather accessories. Wear the look head to toe with a sexy Jay Godfrey fringe dress and a pair of nude booties; top it all off with an ivory or nude sweater. But if you're feeling more adventurous beat the evening chill with the leather jacket in a non-traditional nude. Madison Marcus' 'Anthem' jacket would finish of the look perfectly or look great over a black outfit for just a touch of nude. Pale accessories are also a great way to dabble in the trend; nude or beige shoes give your legs that long endless look. A light handbag is a nice alternative and just as versatile as black or brown. Go a little or go all the way, but whatever you do, make sure you have a few nude pieces in your spring wardrobe. Click the slideshow to see everything you need to go nude for spring.

    Elle's Fall A To Zee Trends: Zippers

    Ever been told to "zip it?" Chances are it was in reference to your mouth and not your clothes. Lucky for us, fashions speak louder than words, so the next time you're told to "zip it," why not use the opportunity to try your hand at the zippered trend? Even the simplest basics get a cool dose of downtown edge with the addition of an exposed zipper, like Miss Sixty's long-sleeved tee. For a rugged twist on a classic style, pull on Phillip Lim's trench-style skirt with a silver zip panel. If you think zippers are only for clothes and handbags, think again- jewelry's in on the action too. Just look at Khoon Hooi's metallic masterpiece- the light fabric is perfectly juxtaposed with swirling, undone zippers for a raw and yet still refined result. A pair of delicately zippered gloves serves as a more subtle nod to this trend, while a zip-front dress in purple is equal parts sexy and playful. Go to Elle's Fall A To Zee Trends to see Joe Zee's picks, and then click on the slideshow for our favorite zippered looks from the Hive. To see all of fall's top trends in one place, click here.
