Fall Exploration

Joli_J

 


Summer is usually deemed the vacation season but mini getaways  are great to rejuvenate the soul and spirit. Whether your escape is for a day or 5 days don’t forget the fashion essentials and trends for the season. Remember to check the climate for your final destination. Pack a light sweater or two in the event the weather makes a sudden turn or there is a travel emergency. Neon and sequin are trending for the Fall season, so packing a few accessory pieces that are in style will certainly keep you on the edge and chic. And don’t forget to relax and enjoy.

The clock has been set back an hour, the temperature has fallen drastically and bright colors are a huge hit on the runways this Fall. Be transcended to a tropical paradise with the warm hues of the season. Some of my favorites for the season are: burnt orange, primrose yellow, royal blue and egg plant.

Summer in the Fall

Joli_J

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.

Joli_J

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 Here!

Joli_J

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! 🙂

White after Labor Day

Joli_J

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.

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.
