It's the Fall, It's the Fall, It's the Fall!

Get your Hunter boots ready ladies! Summer is over and it's time to revamp those wardrobes for the new fall fashion. Before you start your annual September shopping trip, here are some trends to keep in mind...

1. Lace

This might be the biggest, but trickiest, new trend of the season. Lace is fun but can go wrong very easily. Be subtle when wearing this pattern. Think Emma Stone at the MTV Movie Awards, NOT Scarlett Johansson at the Oscars. 

2.Velvet

Keep warm this winter by staying comfortable and stylish. The dark colors usually look better in a velvet fabric, instead of bright colors. Nicole Richie and Vanessa Hudgens have both sported sleek, navy velvet dresses.

3. Pop of Color

This trend is the perfect way to avoid having a basic wardrobe. Obviously it would be ridiculous to waste money on a bright colored cardigan that doesn't match a variety of items. Instead, buy a cream colored cardigan that can match a pink, blue, and purple top. Don't get a crazy colored sweater that can only be worn a few times. Get the black sweater and get a vibrant scarf to liven up the look. Invest more money on the different scarves that way you can mix and match. 

4. Bold Prints

Fall is the perfect time to break out that cheetah print shirt. Try new things! Stripes, plaid...they all work well when paired with a solid print. An abstract top can still appear tame when worn with black pants. 

 

"It's a new era in fashion - there are no rules. It's all about the individual and personal style, wearing high-end, low-end, classic labels, and up-and-coming designers all together."

-Alexander McQueen

Designer of the Moment: Marchesa

Marchesa is one of my all time favorite designers. The brand was established back in 2004 by Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig. Since then, it has rapidly grown. Now it's pretty much given that at least one celebrity will wear a Marchesa gown during award season. And why wouldn't they? The designs, textures, and fabrics of the dresses are breathtaking. Marchesa has even taken the wedding department by storm. You know a brand has to be pretty special when brides choose it over the typical Vera Wang or Alexander McQueen dress. In honor of the flawless fashion label, here's a look at some of my favorite Marchesa dresses.
