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.

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.

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.
