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?

Today, I would like to take the opportunity to thank all our military personnel, past and present. Thank you for fighting, and continuing to fight, for our freedom. All that you have sacrificed has not been in vain. I appreciate you! I salute you! I thank you!

Side note: Went to an amazing photo shoot today, I can't wait to share with you guys.

Happy Memorial Day!

What's Trending Now

What's Trending Now


                       

The cut-out waist dress is my new favorite thing. They're also available in the hi-low design (hi-low is still on trend).  Pastels are haute right now; from nail polishes, make-up, clothes and accessories. There is something about these colors that makes me feel like an adolescent again - in a really girly way. The coral, River Island skirt is flirty and fun,  paired with a colorful bracelet or heels. The black & white look has been a staple in my closet for years; now that the celebrities have caught on to this trend, you see it everywhere (like the way I just gave myself credit for starting a trend? lol!). Polka dots are still on trend; and this polka dot Luichiny is so chic with the ankle strap. I thought I was up on all the latest trends until the other day when I was watching The Wendy Williams show and she had a style expert on talking about "greige". What is greige? It is a color blend of "gray" and "beige". The Chloe bag above is a fabulous example of how this neutral color can blend in with any color palette. Share with me your thoughts on the latest tends - likes? dislikes?

Hope everyone is enjoying the warm weather. Unfortunately, soon I'll be complaining about the heat, so until then I'm embracing the warmth.

Superbowl Attire

Superbowl Attire




Today is Superbowl Sunday. How exciting for you football fans! =) Especially if one of the above teams is one that you are a die-hard fan of. Whether you are rooting for the 49ers or the Ravens, can we agree that both teams have great color choices to work with? metallic gold is in almost all women's closets, if not a clothing item, definitely a piece of jewelry. Black of course is a gift from the fashion god, very slimming, chic and always a staple. Are we looking forward to the half-time show (Go Beyonce!) and the commercials? Let me know what your thoughts are, only if it relates to fashion. Just kidding! :)

Have a Fa-ball-ous Superbowl Sunday!
