Westward Bound

Look #3 in Lucky magazine's guide to fall trends presents the potential of print, specifically tribal print.  Designers like Matthew Williamson, Isabel Marant, and Proenza Schouler have played around with print in their fall collections.  Lucky Magazine recommends the following tips, make the print sexy by wearing it on a formfitting minidress, "elevate cozy, familiar knitwear with skinny white jeans", if wearing fringed boots, play them up by pairing them with the same color pant, balance pattern with minimalist pieces, and "keep the shoes sexy and strappy when wearing printed pants."

Seems like a lot to keep in order, but here are the key pieces you'll need if you want to incorporate this style into your wardrobe:
1. Multi-hued sweater dress
2. Tailored short shorts
3. Print Racer back tank
4. Tapestry print mini
Accessorize with embroidered belts, cross-body bags, fringe and more pattern.

Fashion Rx: Your weekly dose of what to wear!

Ok so it is finally September, I think I am finally ready to share something with you...I am sooooooo ready for boots and jackets, sweaters and leggings, I mean come on who doesn't want those cooler temps to creep in so you can break out some of your favorite fall pieces?!? Are you currently working on building your fall wardrobe, if so you may not be as excited as I am, but you will be once you see what classic pieces you MUST have that will last you a lifetime...the best part of it is, I'm STILL using stuff from summer!

The Cure: Falling for Fall
So I grabbed that blue and white striped top that was great all throughout summer and instead of pairing it with white bottoms, I paired it with my favorite ankle cropped skinnys.  I added a bold gold chunky braided chain and a timeless leather messenger bag.  Kicking it up is an outstanding lace-up heeled oxford (L-O-V-E) and to top it all off, the quintessential trench. Smart and sweet style!

Fantasy Fashion Becomes Reality

I spy with my little eye a new shoe trend popping up in Hollywood!!! Gracing the feet of stars like Katie Holmes, Selena Gomez, and Kate Bosworth is the suede bootie, a fall shoe they are embracing now!  They've dressed them up and dressed them down pairing them with cocktail dresses and shorts.  Isn't it great to see this fall staple make an early appearance?!?

Now while I don't know the exact lines these starlettes are sporting I do know that we carry a shoe that looks awfully similar if not exactly like what these gals are wearing.  Say hello to Sam Edelman's "Petty" a short suede boot taking luxe to new heights.  The short heel and slight asymmetrical styling give this shoe sophistication that can be added to any ensemble.  The best part is you don't need a Hollywood salary to have Hollywood style!
"Petty", $149

Fetish Femme

Here's a look for a girl that is looking to mix and match feminine and fatale pieces to get a style that says something.  Lucky Magazine describes it as "Fetish Femme" and says the key is to " Girly up this subversive look with a prim and delicate white collar."  Also important is to consider just the right amount of skin, if it's form fitting, go for a longer skirt.  This look is all about the mystery, if you show off your legs, cover your arms and vice versa.  Break up the black with "heavy gold accents" and dare to be primly playful.

What you must have, a cut out black dress, textured mini, lace blouse a la peter pan collar, and a peplum skirt.  Add some irony with a cat-ear hood, and accessorize with platform lace boots or mary-janes, and cat eye glasses.

Fashion Rx: Your weekly dose of what to wear!

I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again, I can't wait for fall, mainly so I can start wearing all of the wonderful sweaters and boots that I have.  *Sigh* But really who's to say I have to wait for sweaters and boots until the weather is cool enough, can't I start my transition now?!?  I certainly can and here's how!

The Cure: Seasonal Shift



As summer is drawing closer to the end it's perfectly acceptable to start mixing in your fall pieces.  Obviously your cable knits will stay in the closet until it's quite chilly, but there's no reason you can't wear your lightweight layers now!  A lighter sweater perforated with pointelle diamonds is purely practical for this time of year, especially if it's in a bright and vibrant shade.  Layer it with an equally bright, contrasting cami and pair it with those white hot denim ankle skinnys.  Here comes my favorite part, BOOTS! 

Side Effects: Fashion Purists may frown post Labor Day, but if you look good and feel good then flaunt your fabulousness!
