Fall 2011--FASHION TRENDS!!!!!

Hello hello fashionistas,

In my last post, we covered the beauty trends for the Fall 2011 season.  Now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for—this season’s fashion trends!  Let’s take a look:

-BORDEAUX—As with lipstick, Bordeaux is the big color for this season.  We’re seeing this on dresses, shoes, bags, blouses, accessories, everything.  Such a haute, hot color.

-COLORBLOCKING—Colorblocking is a fun way to bring a variety of colors into your outfits this fall.  You don’t need all sorts of complex patterns to create an interesting outfit.  Try combining big sections of solid colors for a fun way to put solids together and bring lots of color into your outfits.

 -POLKA DOTS—No explanation necessary.

-BOLD GOLD JEWELRY—This season, you can have fun with metallics.  As opposed to simple, modest jewelry, think big, bold, and gold.  Don’t be afraid to use large pieces of jewelry and make a statement.

-HANDHELD BAGS—This is a big trend for this season.  Forget about long shoulder straps and try bags with short handles for a very sophisticated look.

-FUR—Yes, fur is a big trend for many of the premier designers this fall.  You can include fur both in subtle ways, such as fur trimming on shoes, as well as bold ways, such as a fur vest or a colorful fur coat!

-TUXEDOS—…on women!  Designers are loving the look of a tuxedo-style, fitted jacket.  Very sophisticated and very sexy.  Try a black and white tux for a classic look, or spice up your look with a colorful or sparkly tuxedo jacket.

-BRIGHT PANTS—Solid-colored pants in any and every color are in.  So stop hiding in your plain blue jeans and black pants and instead wear the boldest, brightest colors you can find.

-Shoe trends—REPTILE skin shoes, SUEDE, WEDGES, and of course BOOTS, both ankle-high booties and thigh-high boots.  Perhaps try over-the knee black suede stiletto boots?

Alright, now we've covered some of the brightest, boldest, most fun fashion trends for this season.  Have fun and rock these trends!
