Style Future

As the New Year is fast upon us, it has me reflecting on outfits past and looking ahead into the style future. Clothing is a reflection of one’s mood and personality. It tells the world so much about you; where you are in your life, where you are going, how you are feeling, what’s on your mind and so on. It is total insight without saying a thing! For that reason, among many others, clothing holds such a powerful place in my life.

What will be in your style future? From an age old Christmas theme, perhaps since I am still staring at my Christmas tree that I need to take down, the idea of naughty vs nice keeps popping up. My favorite thing to do with outfits is contrast, toughen up a girly dress, black with beige, boots with a maxi for a boho look, you get the idea! It is fascinating what a simple accessory or piece of clothing can do to an entire outfit! What is in your style future?

Naughty?

Nice?

Or even better a combination of both!

Your Fall Face

Now that your closet is full of your fall must haves: statement fur, bright colors, a chunky heel, cord bell bottoms, anything in bordeaux and anything in leather, don’t forget about your most important asset…your face! Rich, bold hues translated from ready to wear straight to the makeup counters. The word is Glam. Rich lip sticks, smokey lids with bright colors, and a bold nail polish will perfectly finish off your fall outfits. Here are my favorite looks courtesy of www.neimanmarcus.com

Mix and Match Fall Separates

One of the reasons I LOVE fall/winter is all the textures and layers that you can add into your outfits. Especially because this year separates are back, there are so many opportunities to mix in these fun fabrics! Last year started the incorporation of leather, lace and fur but this year it has really taken off. The femininity and elegance of lace, toughened up with the rocker, downtown city girl in leather and the boho luxuriousness of fur is one of my favorite looks! Add in a chunky knit, silk blouse and a corduroy bell bottom pant and your closet is set! These are outfits I can’t wait to put together!!!

This look from Theory is the perfect example of combining these textures. The Black leather pant, the fox fur coat, and a mohair sweater- a long sleeved lace top would also look to DIE under this coat!

Alexander McQueen’s plaid statement jacket with a removable vest, paired with his tuxedo shirt and Victoria Beckham’s rocker zipper jean shows the art of layering.

Elizabeth and James did an AMAZING fur poncho coat, with a stretch leather pant and a rich rust colored silk top called the “Paris Popover” love the color and fabric combination!

Theory from head to toe featuring 3 major fall trends: the bell bottom corduroy, the knit sweater and the fur vest. GREAT look, effortless style!
