ALL THAT GLITTERS

Fall. It's here! I can't to dust off my tights and bust out my fav leather jacket. While indulging in some online shopping I came across a few trends I am noticing and that we are likely to keep seeing over the next few months:

+Leather Details: Whether on Jackets ( no more contrast sleeves!), Skirts, Bags it's all about the touch of leather.

+Glitzy Shoes: ShoeMint has a glowing pair and these gold-y boots are quite amazing

+Overalls: This time in leather.

+Baroque: It's everywhere from dresses to skirts to coats. It's time for some regal style shit.

L E A T H E R dressing.

It's official Leather is in, in a BIG way. But not just for jackets and shoes, we are seeing leather dresses pop up on celebs and stylists all over the place! A few of my favorites!

+Markus Lupfer Orange leather detail dress

+Raoul Cognac shift dress

+BIRD BY JUICY COUTURE leather dress

+Raoul Leather Silk Georgette Dress (larger image, Idieforthis!)

Popping Pleats.

I am kinda dying over all the colorful printed and color blocking pleated skirts popping up all over the place! This look is so fabulous for Fall, pair a chunky knit sweater and a skinny belt to cinch your waist and you are OUT THE DOOR. Easy and utterly chic, I cannot wait till the temperatures drop. Cacheral Skirt available here, Tucker Skirt here, Rachel Comey available here, Mara Hoffman here (THAT PRINT!) and last but not least the Karen Walker is available here, happy shopping!

From Mini to Midi.

The hot new length for Fall is going to be the Midi! Not quite maxi and not quite mini, the midi is that in between length that gives the perfect 70s housewife hitting the grocery store look! Super excited to see what designers do with this new length, in the meanwhile check out the dresses above on ASOS (ALL UNDER $100).

colorBLOCKING.

Fall is around the corner and we are already starting to see the summer trends influence what we are going to see for fall! Namely, color blocking totes + chunky layered Aztec jewelry. We love Lauren Manoogian's chunky bracelets and layered necklaces! Also on tap are major pops of color in the hand bag department: pictures above are Anthropologie's Bright Eye's Tote,
Commuter Tote, Bell Pepper tote and my favorite Transatlantic bag!

Let's get Celestial.

Been noticing lots of celestial prints hitting the shelves for pre-fall. Absolutely loving this kimono from Hermione de Paula, and the Ted Baker maxi is dope as well! Celestial prints as the new leopard print? thoughts?
