Fabulous Fall Fashion Trends

So remeber our good friend Courtney, she is the Stella and Dot consultant that we did our Stella and Dot party with! Well, Courtney is all around fabulous! We just adore her! She is also a little fashionista. I literally think she rolls out of bed and looks amazing (but so does Kellie...uggg, I'm jealous...gorgeous girls!) Anyways...Courtney attended New York fashion week this year and we thought that it would be so much fun for her to give us a little fashion advice on what is hot for this fall!!

So here is what she has to say....thanks Courtney we heart you! (We choose our top 2 all time favorite stores to give some examples from...JCrew and Anthropolgie!)

I was always one to get excited about seasons changing because this meant new fashion trends were going to be coming into the stores and hitting the runways. Fall is by far my favorite season and this year is booming with a few pretty amazing and easy-to-wear styles that every woman can (and should) have in their wardrobe.

1. Lace...what is sexier or sweeter than lace? Lace blouses are one of my favorite trends and it offers up the most feminine style this fall. Wear a fitted long-sleeved lace top over a cami with skinny jeans or a wide leg trouser for an instantly chic and modern look.

As you can see black and grey lace are hugely popular!

2. All things platform! Between platform pumps, clogs and sandals; there’s no shortage of this trend. Right now I’m obsessed with Jeffrey Campbell’s range and I am guilty of living in his clogs. Do not be afraid to wear a platform pump out to dinner or an afternoon on the town with a pencil skirt or your favorite jeans and a t-shirt. I promise, you will be happy that you did!
3. Animal print. this is an important one, ladies! Whether it be a scarf, jacket, pant, hat, flat or pump: you need a little animal print this fall! Leopard is especially hot and the top must have out of all the trends. Wear a pair of black pants with a simple black or white sweater with a leopard print scarf or jacket to make yourself look effortlessly gorgeous! (Kellie you love this don't you ;)

4. Oxford lace ups. This is another shoe getting as much media attention as a Kardashian this season. Find an oxford for fall – a flat or a heel will work. Go the extra mile and find one with flannel and patent trim or a suede oxford will also be a gorgeous choice. Another extremely easy shoe to wear with a pair of cuffed boyfriend jeans and a t-shirt!
5. One go-to fabulous jacket. It can be a classic style, for example a camel wool coat, a trench, a pea coat, or a classic blazer type jacket. Or else a more modern jacket covered or trimmed in faux fur. Bomber jackets are also highly fashionable and versatile. Your jacket makes a huge statement about your personal style so make sure you have at least one jacket in your closet that makes you feel stylish and gorgeous!
