Chanel Handtassen 2014 Spotted on the runways at Louis Vuitton and Miu Miu, the mule is primed to make a serious comeback. Actress Emma Stone is clearly one step ahead of the curve, upping the ante on cold weather dressing in Tibi shoes that ground her ensemble—structured coat, ladylike chiffon skirt, Cos backpack—with modern elegance. Although they aren’t ideal in all conditions (read: snow, sleet, and slush), we think that it’s time to slip into the new heel and raise the bar on winter style.It’s official—the Duchess of Cambridge has landed in New York City. Today Catherine’s husband—the dashing Prince William—travels to Washington, D.C., to meet with President Barack Obama in addition to speaking at the World Bank, and Kate has an equally packed schedule, joining Chirlane McCray at the Northside Center for Child Development in Harlem, followed by a lunch hosted by the British Consul General. And while we know the duchess has shown a particular penchant for frocks from Alexander McQueen and L.K.Bennett, we would love for her to embrace some of Seventh Avenue’s royalty in the form of a billowing dress from Oscar de la Renta, paired with a printed coat from Emilia Wickstead—she does have to fly the sartorial British flag after all! But Kate’s true colors will shine later tonight at the Brooklyn Nets game where the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will sit courtside—potentially with American rock royalty Jay Z and Beyoncé—in a classic, all-American look: jeans and a Breton stripe sweater.
