Don't Fret: My Top 6 Trends for Fall to Guide Your Way





















1. Chunky Knits - Go with large cable knits or just big/chunky cardigans, check out what Prada, right, and what Ferragamo did at left for inspiration. It's far too hot to be into this right now. Alas, maybe soon.






















2. Leopard Anything - {See how to buy a good leopard print bag here} If you aren't a bag lady get a silk shirt with a good leopard print or a scarf, check out Dries Van Noten, left, or  iconic Mulberry, right.




















3. The New Minimalism - Go with single or neutral tones - think grey, black and white, or camel (as in Stella McCartney) which leads me to...




















4. Camel - This looks is classic American (think that's why Tommy Hilfiger- yup, you read that correctly- is currently relevant again), this one is my absolute favorite trends of the season along with leopard (don't forget the denim shirt- still so hot right now). Read more on how obsessed I am about camel here. 




















5. Shearling/Anything Fur - Not so practical here in Texas, but elsewhere this look can really work. Ski trip anyone? Its all about the Burberry bomber jacket by Chris Bailey; Michael Kors also made a big, fury splash this season (paired with grey pants which is such a hot color for fall). The good news for those of you who live in the appropriate climate: fake fur is nice and you can't tell the difference. So, if you are humane or broke- just do it.





















6. Maxi Skirts - I love this look. The proportions are great and it feels so good to play up the length of the legs. Make sure to belt the waste so you have some accentuation of your curves. Trust me. Check out Ferragamo, left and Michael Kors, right.


So, get out there and support the economy! Happy shopping within your means, ha ha.
