One of the best purchases of my life was a gray cotton cape from Urban Outfitters’ Bargain Basement in Harvard Square. It has stood the test of time and right now, it is totally on-trend. Capes are one of the hottest silhouettes for Fall and are must-haves in any fashion-minded woman’s wardrobe. They are the perfect “throw on and go” style that keep you looking fabulous at the highest level of comfort.
Kim Kardashian is definitely in tune with the trends and she was seen out and about in New York City, rocking the No Escape Cape from Australian brand Cameo. She paired it with an all-black look including a tee, leggings and over the knee boots. Totally simple and chic and perfect for in the office with a long boyfriend blazer or a night out to dinner.
Cameo was launched in 2009 by Melanie Flintoft of Australian Fashion Labels, but went through a re-branding last year, placing Kathryn Forth in the head designer spot. When she came on board, she took the brand to a whole new level, giving it a place as an affordable label with edgy designs, inspired by high-fashion. Femininity is never lost and neither is bold detailing. The No Escape Cape really is a great way to look stylish this season, with very little effort. The piece speaks for itself and its front tie adds a dose of glamour.
Cameo’s No Escape Cape retails for $136. Visit www.boutiquetoyou.com to purchase and www.cameothelabel.com.au for more information on the brand.
