SUMMER IS OVER! TIME TO START PUTTING THAT FALL WARDROBE TOGETHER. GET OUT THERE AS THE STORES ARE FULL OF MERCHANDISE. BEFORE YOU GO TAKE A MINUTE TO THINK ABOUT A FEW TRENDS IN FASHION THAT YOU SHOULD USE AS A GUIDELINE. WITH THE ECONOMY, YOU MIGHT WANT TO ALSO MAKE SURE YOUR BUYING PIECES THAT YOU WILL WANT TO WEAR FOR YEARS TO COME. WITH ALL THE CHOICES, IT CAN BE OVERWHELMING. TO MAKE LIFE A LITTLE EASIER, I PUT TOGHER A SHORT LIST OF TRENDS TO LOOK FOR WHEN YOU GO SHOPPING. THE BEST PART IS, YOU'LL FIND THESE LOOKS IN ALL PRICE CATEGORIES.... SO JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T SHOP ON MADISON AVENUE OR RODEO DRIVE, DOESN'T MEAN YOU WON'T BE RIGHT IN FASHION!

METALLICS

What used to be a once in a few seasons novelty, has now become a staple in everyone's wardrobe. Actually, it is really a neutral that can go with anything. It's no surprise we love this look - society just about idolizes $$ and wearing these pieces are a subtle exposition of wealth. Fendi and Chanel always have metallic options in the Fall collections.

COLOR

If you are looking for something other than black for your new bag or shoe, then this is the season for you! Think BERRY, PURPLE, OR DEEP DARK RED. It makes perfect sense that we are all obsessed with colors this season. Everywhere you look we are being told that this rich colors are healthy for us in our diet. Goji, Acai, blueberries - all rich in anti-oxidants and also rich in color. Turns out this color looks just as good ON your arm as it is for your health! Think Gucci, Balenciaga, and Kooba.
