If you are looking to add badass sophistication to your fall wardrobe, the Zara August 2012 lookbook is bursting in rocker-chic details and might be just what you're looking for. Sequins, studs and eyelet details continue into the cold weather season, with designers opting for a more minimalist approach to embellishments.

Leaning heavily towards dark hues and neutrals, the collection has a number of lust-worthy pieces. Heads are guaranteed to turn when they see you strutting your stuff in a lace-clad, peplum adorned cocktail dress. If you are looking for a more low-key look, deck yourself out in cozy knit sweaters and simple leather shorts for an effortless ensemble.

The Zara August 2012 lookbook is the perfect transition from summer whites to seductive and edgy fall neutrals.
