fall into the season

Pumpkin candles. Cooler weather. Sweaters & Scarves. Football. The list could go on and on . . . I cannot even begin to describe to you my excitement about the upcoming fall season! Although, I do live in Florida where fall doesn’t officially come until October, my mind is already there and I wish my wardrobe was too.

The Fall 2013 season is trending with some of my favorite looks. From military inspiration to everyone’s favorite, layering, get your pocketbooks ready for a fabulous frenzy of fall looks for any fashionista.

10 essentials for FALL 2013:

1. CLASSIC PRINTS – Simplicity is best. Stick with prints like plaid or houndstooth. I mean, who doesn’t look good in houndstooth?! Roll Tide Roll!
2. EMERALD GREEN – I believe emerald green to be one of the most flattering colors on any woman. This color will be in the lime light this season!!
3. MILITARY-INSPIRED – Every woman loves a man in uniform. Why not try the look on ourselves? This season will be popping with khaki green over-sized jackets and slim pants.
4. LET OUT THE ANIMAL IN YOU – Don’t put your animal prints away just yet. Leopard & tribal print inspired pieces have been on the runway for quite some time now. Keep your eye out for animals hiding in your jewelry as well.
5. LAYERING – I absolutely love layering if it is done right. Especially with patterns. Find pieces that compliment each other and take a chance!
6. BOOTIES – The “it” shoe this fall are booties. Whether they are flat or heeled, they are sure to stay trending for a good minute. Plus, they look amazing with dresses!
7. PEPLUM – Peplum is one of the most flattering cuts on almost any woman. It achieves the perfect look of being curvy as well as slim all at the same time. This is a definite MUST buy item.
8. HAIR TRENDS – As far as hair goes, fall will be filled with low ponys, volume, sleek-straight hair, and as always, BRAIDS!
9. NAILS – The hot colors on the nail scene are purple, blood red, classic red, chocolate brown, gray, teal, burnt orange, metallics and my personal favorite, navy blue.
10. JEWELRY – Every outfit needs great accessories! Make sure and pick up some cuffs, bangles, geometric and chain inspired pieces.

Whether you are edgy in your style or pastel and preppy, Fall 2013 has a look for you. I already have my boots purchased & my pumpkin candle burning. HURRY UP FALL!!!
