Much like the start of a new year, cool-weather fashion is reminiscent of freshly fallen snow--pure, clean and refreshing. Fashion-wise, it's also another reason to rejoice and embrace a color that only comes around once a year--winter white.
The focus this season is on fur coats, wool jackets, fuzzy scarves and fur-lined boots. White House-Black Market (Desert Passage, Fashion Show) has an array of winter-white clothing and accessories, from everyday wear, to glamorous evening wear. The Zelmira faux fur coat is luxuriously soft and stylish. Worn over a camisole with jeans or more formally with an evening gown, this coat whispers winter elegance.
Armani Exchange (Fashion Show) offers a three-quarter-length, polar-white jacket with a fashion-forward, military flair. This boiled wool coat has all the right details, including braided trim, novelty buttons and a close-to-the body fit for a feminine silhouette.
Kate Spade (The Forum Shops at Caesars) has come out with a small, but sweet purse called the Punched Noel Hazel. Perfectly sized to hold credit cards and other tiny carry-alongs, its grainy, embossed, winter-white cowhide leather accents any outfit this season and creates impressions with its playful, perforated designs.
Irresistibly soft is bebe's scarf in winter-white (the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian). It's ultra cool for accessorizing a white-on-white outfit, but dramatic and fun over an all-black ensemble.
And finally for chic winter-white boots that don't compromise warmth, Shoooz (The Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian, The Forum Shops at Caesars, Fashion Show) offers an Italian-made, high-profile boot in supple-soft deerskin. Lined with faux fur and topped with white- to latte-colored rabbit fur, these boots may be the only pair you'll need for comfort, warmth and show-stopping style.
