Berry Trend

Purple, maroon and plum oh my!  The berry trend has relentlessly been seen throughout fall.  The darker colors are a great subtle pop when paired with grays, whites and blacks.  I took a trip to H&M recently and purchased a few pairs of maroon and plum denim.  Wear them with a striped black and white tee, and a gray knit scarf; the look is classic yet cozy.

The berry colored pants were purchased for a mere $9.95.

Topnotch Fall Flats

Flats are almost an essential in every girl’s closet, well for me at least.  I recently ordered Topshop’s studded flats in black, and although during the fall-time I like to rock some combat boots, I've continually worn these go-to shoes.  The studs add even more edge to the faux-leather.  Wear them with a pair of skinnies and a floral lace top and voila! you have the epitome of soft chic.

The colors also come in mint, nude, pink and a classic caramel; go to Topshop.com for more info.

Mixing Patterns During Falltime

Whether it’s stripes and plaids, or florals, paisleys and polka dots, wearing two patterns at once can be surprisingly chic.  However, there are a few things to keep in mind….

-Choose patterns that share a neutral background like brown, black, white or gray.

-Always make sure the patterns have at least a few colors in common.  For example if you’re mixing a navy stripe shirt with a floral print skirt, make sure that a similar blue is part of the floral design.

-If you are the daring kind mix up the scale with various prints: a teeny-tiny polka dot shirt with stripped pants.

-With mixing patterns comes caution, don’t go overboard!  Only two pieces in one outfit should have a pattern, and there should be at least one other element like a cardigan, tights, belt, or skirt that is completely plain.

-H&M, Topshop, and Forever21 are all great shops to purchase items to practice mixing and matching.

Autumn Must-Have Rainboots!

'Tis the season to be rainy is what is often heard during falltime.  A wet walk in the city or to your car doesn't have to dampen your style.  Rainboots have made an upgrade leaving their juvenile look behind for a unisex waterproof sneaker vibe.  Keds have created a line consisting of tribal and flirty floral prints.  The low height of the shoe makes them look unusually interesting, and will definitely be a attention grabber.  The boots are available online at Keds.com and are $65; however, if you order them online you receive 20% off!
