Behold! The latest sneak peek at what Zara has in store for us for October. This is the internationally released look book, so it won't be necessarily be the entire Australian-store drop, but it is a mighty good indication of the trends that will be heading our way and hopefully the key pieces we'll be able to nab in any one of the five Aussie footholds. Highlights for us include the bordeaux-hued leather, embellished mini skirts and camoflage-print pants. Step on in and see Aymeline Valade modelling the very latest from the Spanish chain store.

Today's Emmy Awards red carpet was a lesson in colour theory: celebrities brought out their best brights (and in some cases, moody hues) and gave us all a bit of inspiration when it comes to party dressing. For those of you who were planning to play it safe and stash your vivid hues away for a vacay, pay attention: stars like Claire Danes and Julianne Moore proved just how eye-catching a pop of citron can be, while Heidi Klum and Sofia Vergara showed us that a lovely seafoam or turquoise can be a welcome change from the season's deeper hues. And if you're weary of making waves in bold brights, you can always look to a classically vampy hue like bordeaux — as demonstrated by Jena Malone's Grecian-inspired J.Mendel gown, or be subtle in (50) shades of grey like Sarah Hyland and Christina Hendricks. We've rounded up the three top colour trends we spotted on the Emmys red carpet and highlighted the stars that wore them well. Click through to see them now.
