Trend Alert!!: Fall/Winter '12

It's that time of year, fall/winter season!  We are about to be layered up in cozy fabrics. I chose some of my favorite trends that were in the September issue of People Style Watch...and there are more on the way! 

Check below and leave me a comment if you agree or disagree. =D




 

 

Hunter Green- I think this is an excellent color for Fall…on any chick it gives a strong sleek statement. The color is very rich so pairing with almost any color, patterns and textures..you are sure to make a statement.




 

Ankle Strap Heels- ehh I don’t think I will partake in these styles of heels. I am just not intrigued. It works for some heels {like the ones above} but I am not a fan especially the one’s I have been seeing...the strap can cheapen the shoe, so just me mindful. 



Military Details – this trend is classic and not hart to pull off. Have fun with it, make it your personal style in a more unique and modern way {tops, bottoms, dresses and jackets}.

Trumpet hems – I really like this trend. It is a great alternative to the peplum trend. I see that the trumpet hem will play up or balance curves.





Dome Bags - I like the shape. And because of that, be mindful of different prints and fabrications it can cheapen the look. My advice: look for solid colors with great structure detailing. Even the simplest style could be the chicest!





Brocade- this is a great trend I have been seeing a lot lately. It's instant luxe attire. Let whatever brocade piece you wear be your focal point, it should set the tone. Balance with simple but sweet accessories and shoes.

Fragrances we are loving for Fall

You may already know that I picked up some of my top fave mags for Fall.  I'm really smitten with People Style Watch…it never fails me! 

It’s just about time for Fall, so lay down the shorts and pick up the pants…scarves, cardigans, boots lol you get it.  I have a lot I want to post, but for now I want to talk about perfume. PSW has a top 10 list for fragrances…I have a few I cosign, which are:

Coach Poppy Blossom Eau de Parfum $65 for 1.7 fl. oz sephora.com 

Lancome La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum $75 for 1.7 fl. oz lancome-usa.com

Lady Gaga’s first  fragrance

Fame Ultimate Masterpiece Eau de Parfum $79 for 3.4 fl. oz macys.com

I smelled this randomly at Belk and Nordstrom last week. I was apprehensive at fist, but this a winner!  It is feminine but subtle...Oh and it sprays clear liquid not black.

“edgy and unexpected, with a blend of deep floral notes and incense pus a touch of fruitiness"~PSW

 Chanel Coco Noir Eau de Parfum $98 for 1.7 fl. oz chanel.com

  I chose this one because..well..because its Chanel! Lol

Roberto Cavalli Eau de Parfum $65 for 1.7 fl. oz. nordstrom.com

I am throwing this one in as a bonus.  Roberto Cavalli is my favorite designer and I received his first fragrance above as a Valentine's Day gift....I was one happy Chick!  I still have a nice amount but more important, it smells goooood too! Try it ladies...the packaging is very nice.
