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.

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.

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.
