Ok ok it is official Fall is here and it is going nowhere and I have the climate to prove it! Almost without warning the temperature dropped from the high 70’s to the 60’s. Brrrrrrr……But who is complaining, there is still lots to look forward to namely the season’s fashion and family holidays. A few fashion trends for the season include textured fabrics such as suede and pony hair, bright colors and the clutch, which in my mind is a timeless accessory. Whatever way you chose to wear these trendy styles be carefree, creative and fearless! 🙂

This past Saturday was the first day of Fall and I am already sad. The great thing is that I have next summer to look forward to and as always fashion is alive and kicking. There are so many trends to choose from this Fall you will never get bored. One such trend is the over sized clutch…. small enough to tote around without much hasell and still large enough to carry all your girly essentials such as your ipad, mobile phone, makeup etc. It’s the perfect accessory for transitioning from the office to dinner. And it will definitely be useful for years to come.

Wearing white after Labor Day is no longer a fashion faux pas. For those who thread on the side of caution, incorporating a few pieces of white with an outfit may do the trick. For others, layering white with Fall colors is within the limit of  their comfort zone. Then there are those of us who are a little more carefree and wear white without fear. Where ever you fall in the spectrum of white wearing after Labor Day be confident, savvy and fashion forward.

Though Summer fashionably ended on Labor Day we still have a few almanac days left to enjoy the warm sunny days ahead. Luckily blues and brights have spilled over into what’s in for Fall fashion giving ample opportunities to extend summer wears and save a few bucks for Christmas shopping. One summer activity that extends into Fall are cruises. There is no better way to spend a cool evening than sailing the seas over dinner and cocktails in Summer/Fall transitional pieces in timeless colors. Enjoy transitional fashion and happy sailing!

The days are drawing near where coats, scarfs and sweater will be front center in the fashion world and sandal and shorts will be a thing of the past. The good thing is this is only for a season or two. Then the cycle begins again. In the mean time, play with Fall hues in Summer styles and don’t be afraid to utilize those transitional pieces when it gets cold. The days of warm sunny weather maybe few but our individual fashion sense is endless.

I so hate to think that summer is coming to an end but alas I will enjoy every single waking moment of sunshine that is left and my fashion style will also be sunny till the end. My way of transitioning from Summer to Fall is by incorporating fall hues with my outfits. The color contrast is sure to be the seasons’  pleaser. Though summer is coming to an end don’t despair just enjoy til the Grand Finale.
