NYFW brought us a lot of new styles to think about, some more approachable than others (read: gray cable knit mules/slingbacks at Alexander Wang). Here are 5 trends coming up for fall 2013: 1. Peplums: Ok, so this is not a new trend, but it definitely has staying power. It popped up on the runways [...]
In past seasons we have seen a trend of juxtaposing “hard and soft” by pairing leather with lace, studs with chiffon and so forth. Well, the trend of unusal pairings continues with casual t-shirts and refined skirts. Here are some examples… I really like this trend and I hope it continues to carry through the [...]
I thought it would be fun to have some of my stylish friends share their fall picks and favorite trends while I’m away falling more and more in love with Elle. So, today my friend Shelly from Petit Joy Vintage is sharing with you some of her fall shopping picks. She is a lover of [...]
