Fall/Autumn Must-Haves 2017

Fall/Autumn Must-Haves 2017




Hello Fashionistas! 
How was your weekend? Mine was pretty uninteresting and not very fashionable to be honest. But, I did get lots done around the house, so there's that. I know I'm so late with this post, but better late than never, right? 
On to the post, Fall/Autumn must-haves according to what showed on the runways. Heads up, this post is going to be a two-parter (still not sure if that's a legit word) because I was not loving everything, per usual. But, I wanted to feature as much as I could and of course, you can always disagree with me in the comments section. Also, I'll have a poll on my Facebook page featuring a coat from Gucci that I really want to know, would you wear it? So, if you haven't liked my page on Facebook, no hard feelings, you still have time 😊.

1. Buttoned up - Not much explanation needed here; it's just an article of clothing that has tons of buttons. I chose this dress because I thought it was cute. It has the belted waist (always love a cinched waist, that will never change). And, of course the buttons going up the front.
2. Retro hats - I love hats. I used to wear hats all the time, not so much now. Not sure why, but I still have tons of hats in my closet and now it will be on-trend this Fall season. I'll be dusting them off and donning them with different outfits.
3. Vintage-Inspired furs & Belted Coat - The faux fur I chose was giving me a vintage vibe. Also, it is belted which I love this trend. Like I've said a thousand times on this blog, I love a cinched waist. #Cinched! Now, you really don't have to go out and buy a new coat because if you have a trench coat in your closet already, it already comes with a belt. Or, just add a belt to an already favorite coat. Which brings me to... #5 Belts. (Yes, I know this is out of order, that's how my brain usually works). Belts are still haute. Especially wide belts. 
4. Western - I had a pair of cowboy boots at one point in my life. I thought they were really cute. The ones I found above are slightly more modern and chic. I actually think they would go nicely with the buttoned-up dress. What do you think?
6. Power Red & Over-the-knee boots - Red is such a strong color. I also think it's a strong statement piece when worn as boots, and very bold when worn on the lips. Since over-the-knee boots are still a haute look, why not get a pair of red ones.
7. Mid-Length Skirts - What's not to love? This is an easy pairing. A patterned mid-length skirt, a plain tee, wide belt, and flats or booties. Done!
8. Chocolate brown colors - There were a lot of chocolate brown on the runway for Fall. Everything from coats, shoes, bags, accessories...it was a lot. But, I was all for it and better yet, I have plenty of chocolate brown in my closet.
The fishnets, I know you see them. This is also a trend for the Fall; I'm on the fence with this one.

What do you think of my Fall/Autumn Must-Haves?

#MFW: Recap


Stella Jean:

Hello Fashionistas! I hope everyone had a fashionating weekend. 
Why does Saturdays and Sundays seem to go by in such a hurry but Monday through Friday the time just drags on forever? OK, forever is a stretch but you get my drift. If you did anything fun, let me know. I was brainstorming this whole weekend for a few upcoming projects.
I did manage to check out Milan Fashion week and jot down several collections that were truly exceptional. Again, I was looking forward to several designers: Gucci, Fendi, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana and Roberto Cavalli. Unfortunately, none of those mentioned made my list of faves! Let's get started with my picks. And, as usual, feel free to disagree with me and share your choices.


 I love the print of the two skirts above. Now, I'm an island girl, so I have many paintings and pictures depicting such scenes in my possession. It's lovely to see wearable art especially when that art is near and dear to my heart. 




Alberta Ferretti:

Romantic and whimsical are the two words that came to mind after viewing Alberta's collection. I love the romanticism of the dress pictured above and the whimsy of the one below. The unique designs and craftsmanship of both dresses are impeccable. This collection was actually my favorite!





Ermanno Scervino:

Not really sure why I chose the dress above, except that the material looks a bit unusual. It doesn't seem comfortable to wear; almost stiff. The unusualness of it made it a conversation piece. Let me know what you think of this dress.
This snake print dress below is to die for. Love the cut-out at the cleavage area, criss cross around the neck and the diagonal slit. Fabulous!





Philipp Plein:

I really enjoyed seeing the voluminous skirts and dresses from Philipp on the runway, but not too sure about the leather jackets for Summer. You can twirl for days in these skirts.





Emilio Pucci:

70s inspired was a theme for several designers showcasing at Milan Fashion week. I think Emilio did it best though. There were so many wearable pieces to choose from and that's what I look for in a designer. You have to ask yourself, can I wear this or is it just for the runway? I absolutely love the above pants suit because it's not a traditional pants suit. It's hip. It's chic. and it's groovy, lol. That nice pop of bright orange really sets it off.

Naomi Campbell has graced the catwalk yet again for another designer. She looks amazing and I've enjoyed seeing her famous strut. Brings back so many memories. I think we girls have all tried to imitate The Naomi strut. 




Moschino:

You have to have a sense of humor to appreciate Moschino. Last year it was McDonald's inspired clothing and this year it's Barbie. One has to wonder (at least I'm wondering) if he was listening to Aqua's Barbie Girl when inspiration hit. I actually like that song, but it's never inspired anything further than a sing-a-long from me.


Would you wear this? Or the one above? I would love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for reading and commenting!
