Lets look at Alexa Chung at the opening of the Versace store in SOHO. She looks great while rocking several of the season's trends- 1.any and everything burgundy, down to her handbag, 2.leather, 3.knit sweater and 4.smoking slippers. I would categorize this ensemble as Fall 2012's "Geek Chic". But you don't have to be geek or chic to replicate this look, you could choose to pull inspiration from any one of these trends individually!

Liking the 50 Shades of Red trend this season but not ready to wear red, crimson or burgundy head to toe like Alexa? Then just rock one burgundy piece paired with a neutral or go for a red lip.

Been wanting to wear a leather skirt but afraid you'd be mistaken for an out of place dominatrix? Then choose a longer length a-line black leather skirt and pair it with a modest sweater or knit top for a Mod Chic look. (*Mod/60's inspired is also a major trend this season!) Or choose a bright colored leather piece for some statement colorblocking. Not a fan of skirts? Throw a leather biker jacket over a dress or tee and jeans.

I personally have been living in smoking slippers! They are not just for skirts folks! Rock embellished smoking slippers with colored skinny jeans for a trendy look, studded slippers for an edgy appearance or even velvet slippers and skinny chords to go preppy.

Proudly rocking a new trend?? Don't be shy! Share your look with us on facebook!
