Trend-Spotting: Aztec Print

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope your weekends have treated you well!

I have been really loving the different iterations of Aztec prints I've been seeing lately! Since it is layering season, I can't think of nothing better than layering with a printed heavy sweater for warmth, and a pop of color an print. Add boots, skinny jeans, and a cozy beanie, and you're ready for dropping temps with style.

Trend Spotting: Capes

Capes are making a huge come back this Fall/Winter season. They were way more prominent on the runways, and retailers are coming out with more interpretations than ever before. Try out a sweater version, if the full structure of a coat would be too much. If you, on the other hand, are more daring, try a paid version to really up the ante!

Bohemian

Something about Fall's cool, crisp weather brings out the bohemian in me. I sometimes love to gravitate towards floaty, and ethereal pieces, and layer them on top of eachother. This is the quintessential look I would go for. How great would this be with a Leopard Print coat over it?

Happy Friday, and have a WONDERFUL weekend!

Trend-Spotting: Oxblood

The biggest color for Fall, in case you haven't noticed already, is oxblood! This rich burgundy hue has ben a favorite of mine for years, so I am glad it's finally in the spotlight. My favorite iterations come in rich leathers, and cozy thick knits, all in wearable, classic structures.

Trend-Spotting: Pink Lady

It looks as though one of the on trend colors for Fall is going to be pink. It's a color that I am slowly finding to like more and more, and can see this being incorporated into outfits beginning now, and into the Fall. If the color is too much, try accessorizing with bold pink shoes, lips, or nails. You could also try wearing paler pinks with office pieces, like blazers and trousers, and don't forget that jewelry is the easiest item you can take from outfit to outfit.

Trendspotting: Peplum

Peplums have been seen all over the Fall 2012 runway, but if you think back, you may have noticed that Spring 2012 runway shows reintroduced this silhouette in full force. Another trend for Spring 2012 that I see catching on quickly is the peplum. What I love is that nowadays you see it on jackets, and blouses, not only the standard dress or skirt. A classic black peplum dress can easily take you from work to play, or from casual to dressed up. A neutral peplum skirt is professional, chic, and modestly sexy; perfect for an office setting. A peplum blouse in a fun print can dress up your jeans and tee look for a night out. A super femme pink dress is perfect through the warmer months, and in the fall try layering a camel turtle neck under it for warmth. A bold striped peplum jacket isn't for the faint of heart, but wear it over the simplest of outfits to add that extra edge. Will you try a peplum look?
