HOW TO STYLE ALTUZARRA FOR TARGET

I've been waiting with baited breath to see the Altuzarra for Target collection and I am not disappointed. The cookbook is filled with the powerful feminine silhouettes he is famous for, in an array of fall-appropriate fabrics like velvet, jacquard and faux fur in deep reds, greens and pops of print. Here are 5 of my favorite pieces and how to style them for fall so that you're prepared for September 14th when the pieces will (finally!) be available at Target and Net-A-Porter.

Ankle Boot

This sleek stiletto boot will work with virtually every skirt in your closet, as well as skinny black jeans. I love the lace-up and buckled details with the croc-embossed leather.
