Hey fashionable friends! I hope you all had a great summer. I know I was glad when the school bell was ringing again and we are getting back to a normal schedule in my house! I have so much to share about the fall - I can't fit it all in. So stay tuned for more newsletters this fall!
First and foremost - let's cover the top trends for fall!
Denim - Denim is coated, brocade, shiny, printed and jewel-toned. They have gotten crafty with this perenial staple! I know that many of you will turn away from this trend - but at least try your favorite style in a dark color other than blue. They are more versatile than you think and really put a pop in your pants!

Fun Details - Pleats, ruffles, tassels, and bows, OH MY!! These have been added to jackes, shirts, tees, skirts, dresses and shoes. Make sure they don't accentuate the negative on your body. They can be fun - but make sure you pick one trend per item.

Colors - Hunter Green, Burgundy, Royal Blue, Red, Charcoal Gray, and always - Black. These colors tend to always return in the fall - but the burgundy and all of it's hues are already all over the mall. This is the color to add this season. It looks good on everyone and it is a great color to add in leather accessories.

Prints - Chevron, animal print, stripes, and polka dots. Mix these with your colored jeans and you will be the one to imitate! Keep these prints small if you are already large in the bust or have a large tummy. You can go a little bigger with these prints if your hips are larger than your top - either way, pick wisely, and don't spend too much $$$ on these trends. These are the ones that tend to leave as soon as they come!
