Presented by Fashion Island’s Style Week Orange County: Why LA Blogger Devon Cruse Loves Capes and Capelettes … – Los Angeles Confidential

Before Fashion Island’s Style Week Orange County comes to Newport Beach, Devon Cruse, author of fashion and lifestyle website Devon Rachel, tells us why she loves donning a good cape or capelette during the fall season.

I have always loved a cape silhouette. So regal and classic. This season I am excited to work in a little sister to the cape, the capelette, as a chic proportional element to my look. Here, six pieces to add to your fall wardrobe.

Elie Tahari

Marta Cape, Elie Tahari ($568). Fashion Island, 575 Newport Center Dr., Newport Beach, 949-258-7933

If you’re going to invest in one cape this season, go with camel. The color is chic and the style can be layered, and dressed up or down in so many different variations.

Anthropologie

Vista Poncho, Anthropologie ($128). Fashion Island, 823 Newport Center Dr., Suite 835, Newport Beach, 949-720-9946

The sister of the cape, the poncho is one of my ultimate favorite fall accessories. Mainly because it makes anything look better—even leggings and a t-shirt. This cozy option from Anthropologie is definitely high up on my list and the price is great.

Halston Heritage

Cashmere Blend Poncho Cardigan, Halston Heritage ($295). Fashion Island, 401 Newport Center Dr., Suite 565, Newport Beach, 949-629-3521

You cannot go wrong with Halston. Their cashmere poncho cardigan in black is so unique and eye catching. I absolutely love how the cardigan hangs like it’s draped over the shoulder—very high fashion.

BCBG

Upas Cape, BCBG Max Azria ($228). Fashion Island, 701 Newport Center Dr., Suite 241, Newport Beach, 949-644-4798

There’s a cape for snow and a cape for the show. This sleek and streamlined cape is definitely for show—I’d pair it with a cool midi dress and heels for a night out with the girls.

Roland Mouret

Keat A-Line Combo Long Cape, Roland Mouret ($3,455). Neiman Marcus, Fashion Island, 601 Newport Center Dr., Newport Beach, 949-759-1900

It’s tough to find comfort (aka warmth) and style in one. This gorgeous number manages to combine the two in such a lovely way.

Halston Heritage

Silk Georgette Capelette, Halston Heritage ($165). Fashion Island, 401 Newport Center Dr., Suite 565, Newport Beach, 949-629-3521

The cape trend doesn’t stop at outerwear. I would wear this gorgeous Halston capelette dress in a heartbeat. The dress and cape combination is always a smart move.
