Ah, the return of FALL


HELLO Fashionistas!

Summer is starting to wind down, even though it seems that it has just started! The warm weather came late this year. However, FALL deliveries have come in this season, earlier than ever! This is my favorite season and time of year. And the fashion is back in a big way this season.

Summer hiatus is over. This season, fall is full of GLAMOUR!!!

Key trends:
It's still a throw back to the 70s
Color Blocking: Look for neutrals and blacks, really rich for color blocking
Floppy Felt Hats
Mixing Prints
GLOVES w fringe
Jewel Tones: deep reds, mustards, emerald greens and royal purples
FUR: Vests, Jackets, Peacoats and Collars. You name it, fur is in!

I cannot wait for the full fall deliveries! About half of them are in stores already.





NEW~

Hitting stores with her line is fashion stylist and new designer, Rachel Zoe! Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdales are already carrying her fall line. Her collection doesn't disappoint, as long as you can find the pieces that you like and mix them into your existing wardrobe. Price point will keep you from a full wardrobe make over. Her maxi dresses and tuxedo jackets have been in high demand.




Also new for American Department Stores is French line, Gerard Darel. Fans of this line are stylish celebs such as Halle Berry, Gwenyth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Garner, Carrie Underwood, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jessica Alba, Angelina Jolie, Taylor Swift and Eva Longoria to name a few. Pieces of the Spring/Summer line and new Fall Collection have been popping up in photos of US Weekly and People. Line has been around since 1971, and is based out of Paris. It has been doing so well in Europe it is expanding over into the US. It is sold EXCLUSIVELY at SELECT BLOOMINGDALES only. Handbags and Maxi dresses and Scarves are the hot items to have from this line.

I have a few pieces from this line and I adore it. The softest leather handbag I own, hands down. I also just snagged the last scarf from the fall line (sold out in most stores) It has a bunch of different prints on it and rabbit fur pom poms on the end. I've never seen anything like it~amazing! I can't wait for the weather to change.





Stay tuned!!
