It’s always refreshing when we get a burst of sunshine and warmth in the middle of the cold season. Yesterday was no exception when the thermometers were at a record high of 80 degrees F. This makes for the perfect excuse to be fashion forward and wear trends for Spring and Summer 2013. So what’s on the 2013 fashion runways?  Bright,  warm hues for men and women. The colors peach, red orange and persimmon are sure to be crowd pleasers  just to name a few. In the mean time, stay warm and watch out for the next weather anomaly.

Colored leaves, cool breezes, rain drops and mums are all nature’s gifts to the Fall Season. Rich textured fabrics from tweed to corduroy to velvet are the season’s gifts to the fashionista. They are everywhere in coats, pants, tops, accessories and my favorite, shoes. Suede and pony hair shoes are in with a variety of colors and prints! With all the fabulous textures that are here for the season, you are bound to find the perfect match for you. And when you do, don’t forget to accessorize to complete the look.

Fall is in full swing and there is the cold weather and majestic colors in the changing leaves on the trees to prove it. The great thing about fashion, especially  for this season is that all the beautiful Fall colors are trending on runways, which makes for more colorful, warm fashion pieces. One trending color of the season is burgundy/wine red. This color embodies sophistication, and lots of class. It’s everywhere! Add a burgundy accessory or two to your outfit to spurce it up. 🙂

It is the season for textured fabrics such as velvet, suede, leather etc, sparkles, shine, glamour and the colored skinny jeans. I must confess it took me a while to be a fan and now I am hooked. I first fell in love when I saw the colored skinny jeans in one of my favorite colors. From then on I knew it would be one of my fashion staples for Fall. You can find them in a variety of vibrant colors and cuts from your favorite stores. My personal favorites are from Ann Taylor. For the girl on a budget you can find the colored skinny jeans at Old Navy for $19. These jeans are so versatile you can rock them with just about anything pumps, boots, peplum tops, button down shirts, sweaters and more.  Have fun with the latest trends even if it is only for the season.
