There's one thing for certain this fall: the revival of the ladylike silhouettes and accessories. Never to be left out, a very important fall trend according to Elle Creative Director Joe Zee is the refined satchel. You know the kind, the perfectly-sized, use-it-everyday structured handbag, but with ladylike detailing. For example, the Michael Kors Lattington-Large Satchel, with its gorgeous textured leather and elegantly-placed golden studs, celebrates the feminine touch to this usually mundane handbag style.

Elle's Fall A To Zee Trends: Mad for Plaid

Nothing says that fall is here quite like plaid. In rich reds, tartan greens and yes, an occasional yellow, plaid is a welcome ingredient into any autumn outfit. The best way to own this trend is to mix elements of plaid into your outfit - like a plaid scarf with your regular jeans and t-shirt combo (with your favorite fall boots, natch). For a bolder look, try one of the many fabulous plaid dresses and jackets available this fall. Dress it up with gold accessories or dress it down with a short sleeve t-shirt underneath! For a look that's cozy by day and chic by night, try Urban Outfitters' plaid flannel dress- at just $68, you can splurge on a pair of chunky heels or boots.
