The Leaves are Changing, But it's still Haute in Cali ... A Quick Look at Fall Trends


This Indian summer doesn’t want to leave California, but it doesn’t have to prevent us from falling in love with Fall’s must have items. Cargo, Lace and Camel Oh MY!!!  IF you’ve picked up any fashion magazine, you know that this Fall is all about those brave men and women who serve our country … the trend is all about the Military. The combat boots to the structured jacket, an ode to our soldiers is on the fashion forefront. The new black is Camel and Army Green.  I would like to take this moment to thank all the men and women who have served and protected our Country, without you we would not be able to embrace our freedom and fashion.  I tip my beret to you!!!  The trend may be Military but don’t be afraid to add a feminine touch of lace to it. Take that Military Jacket and pair it with a pair of ( J Brand ) Skinny’s and a Lacey top for some movement. We saw the bomber jacket last season, and I still feel it’s a great must have item for 2010. My Bomber meets my every day needs and is a perfect way to spice up a cocktail dress.  A trend that PETA would love is Faux Fur, I'm obsessed with the shaggy vintage looking faux fur that is out right now. Throw a faux fur vest  (Kensie can be found at Nordstrom) over a silk baby doll camisole and you've added a little vintage hippie to your night out. The Fall wardrobe is all about layering, and texture. Look for accessories that have a great hand. I'm always a fan of a great pair of leather gloves... try a pair of elbow length to add some drama. (The Wilson's Outlet has great deals on accessories)
Until my next style watch, Remember take the trends and make them your own  keep it Haute & Classy Ladies and Gentlemen.
Fashionably Yours,
