In light of BB Dakota & Jack by BB Dakota‘s upcoming winter ’15 styles, Downtown Magazine wants to share with you the top 10 must have’s for your fall/winter wardrobe!

The brand has a fun and free outlook on fashion and life; “At BB Dakota we love clothes but we also love living full, creatively-fulfilling, engaged lives. We believe it’s more important to have rich inner lives, to consume culture but also contribute to it. The clubby, exclusionary quality of the fashion world is lame, and we want to fight the notion that wearing expensive clothes makes you cool, that if you carry the right handbag, it means something. That’s why we make wearable, exquisite clothes that are made to last, but aren’t so prohibitively expensive it gives you post-purchase anxiety dreams.”

Time to clear out space in your closet, because the Winter 15 collection has the perfect staple pieces for fall, winter, and the holiday season. But these are just our 10 must haves. Wait until you see the whole captivating collection!

BB Dakota has stunning pieces that are for the young, wild and free women out there who enjoy being stylish and on trend, but also love being social and having a good time!

The Velvet & Satin Binding Dress;

Prep this holiday season by getting yourself a burgundy satin dress! Perfect for the holidays, or any winter day. Let’s face it; cold weather will be here before we know it! The crushed velvet falls perfectly with the silhouette, and the keyhole at the neckline adds flair and a little mystery!

Kate Hudson Enchants as her own stylist in the new Jimmy Choo Campaign

Kate Hudson stars in the new Autumn Winter ’15 Jimmy Choo campaign that everyone in the fashion industry is talking about, and with fashion week starting full force, that is something to be said! As if the actress, singer, dancer (seriously, what doesn’t she do?) could surprise us any further by modeling for this stunning campaign, she delights us by styling it herself! Move over Rachel Zoe; Kate is a force to be reckoned with.

The Jimmy Choo campaign charms us with a ballerina inspired theme, which connects with Kate Hudson on a personal level. Hudson revealed to Jimmy Choo in an exclusive interview that “My mom put me in dance classes since I was three years old, and I did ballet up until 12 before she allowed me to take more types of dance, like lyrical. I wasn’t allowed to skip class, I just knew I had to go. If you have that kind of discipline as a kid it sort of translates to everything.” Oh, we know Kate! Well; perhaps some of us do, if you’ve watched the later seasons of Glee, where Kate acted as a dance professor and performed alongside Lea Michele.

“I would say that my style sort of depends on my mood, but comfort is definitely the common denominator, which means a lot of pieces that are flowy and light,” said Hudson. “I’ve always been attracted to the ‘70s — sexy with a lot of freedom in the overall aesthetic.”

The campaign is covered in feminine and romantic colors, such as pinks, nudes and whites, with a splash of purple, blue and red. The vibe is a mix of dreamy, effortless, and romantic.

If you are wondering which shoe Hudson loved the most from the AW 15 collection, She reveald that the pink velvet ballet heels are her favorite! Who will be wearing them next? We can’t wait to find out.
