What can’t Stella Nina McCartney accomplish? Naturally for the daughter of a former bandmate of the legendary group The Beatles, there has been a trail left for her that leads to predestined success. Not only did we spot some Stella McCartney designs during the summer Olympics, but her store is now open for Houstonians to shop in the lavish River Oaks District.

If you aren’t familiar with Stella McCartney, you should be aware that this brand is internationally recognized for its stellar women’s ready-to-wear fashion and accessories, as well as a kids clothing line. For the fall collection, expect a vast amount of items to choose from to complete your wardrobe this autumn. And when saying vast, we’re talking at least over 150 pieces, including casual wear, shoes, an evening gown or two and a few coats as well.

One particular style that stands out from this collection are the sportier pieces such as the Valentina Pants: 100 percent silk, wild legged pants with sporty lines that fit tightly at the ankles to resemble a different type of jogger. There is also the Sabine Jacket, which is a multicolored wool bomber with enough elegant patchwork on it to make you feel like you’re part of an elite private school or country club.

On the other end of the spectrum, everyday shoppers will appreciate Stella McCartney’s casual pieces like the Fawn Soft Suiting Trousers. These bottoms have a relaxed fit with a cropped wide leg and elastic band at the waist, making them super easy to wear with a basic t-shirt or even a sweater for the cooler temperatures.  Shoe fanatics will be more than pleased with the Black Odette Boots, which are similar to a combination of Doc Martins and rain boots. The most impressive quality about these boots is that they are made from non-leather cruelty-free materials. I’m sure PETA will love that.

Stella McCartney’s new opening in the River Oaks district is making us all excited for cooler temperatures, fall fashion and cozy weather. You might not be able to find certain items in store, but you will always be able to get your Stella McCartney fix online at stellamccartney.com.
