With Halloween around and everyone making their apple picking & pumpkin patch visits on the weekend, there are two things to remember. First, the stars love a good pumpkin just as much as you do. Secondly, jeans make the perfect uniform for the causal-yet-taxing task of lugging your seasonal orange accessory around! Blake Lively was seen with pumpkin in hand hailing down a taxi in Rag & Bone/JEAN Zipper Jeans—we’re pretty sure this is a still from Gossip Girl. Her outfit had a bit of animal instinct with a Theodora & Callum clouded leopard haircalf biarritz espadrille and a Lanvin felt hat. Off duty Kristin Cavallari was seen wearing a pair of [BLANKNYC] Spray On jeans in Heavy Dose. The Dancing With The Stars contestant employed a bit of Navajo-inspired styling… and her pumpkins? Much smaller than Blake’s!

Alexis Bledel was snapped walking through the airport in Canada for the Toronto Film Festival recently. She wore the MiH Jeans ‘Breathless’ fit in Crosby with an off-white loose knit sweater (which must have been super comfy on the plane!). Her contrast outfit was finished off with on-trend ethnic print boots—the perfect fall footwear. While this outfit is more about function than style, we love that she makes comfort look so good!

A stroll around Coterie revealed the denim trends of both fall and spring, and in the case of Artisan de Luxe designer Philippe Naouri, it’s all about the hand-crafted details and bohemian edge. Living up to its name, the artistic quality of each piece is underlined by thoughtfully appropriated trims of beads, fringe, cut-outs and fabric distressing that makes the collection look like there’s a history behind it—as if each piece could be a character in a film. Jackets were the perfect unison of utility (denim patches) and tribal influence (saturated South American textiles). Jeans had ’70s flare legs and designs (like peace signs and overlapping abstract scissor silhouettes) affixed with stitching in sand-color thread. Overall, a collection a New York girl can slip into to put a little more West Coast nomad-chic into her life.

In this edition of Window Shopper, we stroll by the Lucky Brand boutique on the corner of 67th Street and 3rd Avenue. While we could have guessed at the styling before we even got close enough to peer through the glass (ethnic ’70s rustic boho-galore), we loved the addition of the oversize vintage luggage and tin lantern that gave an air of summer jet-set so the scene.
