& Other Stories Makes Its US Debut

& Other Stories online shop launched in the US today, hosting a selection drool-worthy and totally affordable pieces. A sister-brand of fast-fashion giant H&M, & Other Stories is ultrachic, with a higher standard for quality and unique design. After launching in March of 2013, this youngling brand quickly caught the eyes of fashionistas, and now that it is available in the US, we’re jumping on board. Here are five fab pieces from & Other Stories that are worth obsessing over. 

You can hit up the e-commerce site at stories.com/us. Online shopping not your thing? & Other Stories’ IRL shop opens October 17 in Soho. If you’re in the neighborhood–or desperate to peep the collection in person–swing by 575 Broadway (between Houston and Prince) in good ol’ New York, New York.

What & Other Stories pieces made your shopping list? Sound off in the comments!
1.  Outerwear: SAVE!
63% wool, under $300, and a genius geometric print? Yes, please!

Wool Blend Coat, $245, stories.com

2. Dress: SAVE!
This leopard print dress is great for fall, with long sleeves and a sweeping hemline. But don’t fear, the slightly-plunging back keeps the look fresh and unexpected.

3. Shoes: SPLURGE!
There are two pieces I never skimp on: shoes and handbags. Sure, a $300 dollar price tag can be cringe inducing, but when these items undergo so much wear, spending the extra money to begin with can help keep them from getting to the “tear.” These oxblood beauts will carry you through the fall and winter, and the stacked heel will make them extra-comfy–perfect for holiday party season.
Leather Ankle Boots in Dark Red, $275, stories.com
4. Skirts: SAVE!
Classic and feminine, this skirt will easily be a staple in your weekly wardrobe. And at only $60, it should be.
A-Line Skirt, $60, stories.com
 
5. Bracelets: SPLURGE(ish)!
There’s nothing to squawk about. This is the one bird I will happily come in contact with. This chic cuff will amp up any simply outfit, and put more bold looks on another level of daring. While most fashion jewelry I don’t spend too much on, some statement pieces are worth a little extra. So I say SPLURGE…ish.

From the Street to Your Feet: NYFW's Finest Footwear

Countless fashion stars stepped out to attend New York's Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, and they did so in only the most oh-so-stylish footwear, proving that the fashion envy doesn't end when all the models have left the catwalk. Some of the most drool-worthy looks come from attendees themselves.  And unlike the collections being shown, the street style looks are up for grabs NOW.  So, while you're waiting for Zara or H&M to come out with a pair of these stellar Marc Jabobs-esque booties, try slipping on some these fabulous fabulous pairs inspired by the fashionistas of NYFW.  And be sure to check back in as all these stylish ladies take a jump, hop, and a skip across the pond as the month of fashion continues in Europe!  I'm sure plenty more style moments are headed our way, especially when the fashion world's glammest hit Paris! (London had some serious gems, and Milan street style is still in the making.)
