Fall Fashion

So my FAVORITE season is here…FALL! It will be full of utilitarian looks, military touches, tailored menswear and so much more. This fall is made out of ACCESSORIES: jewelry, bangs and shoes. You can do some much with your outfit depending on how you play off your accessories. The fall color palette will have you excited with rich camel and crème naturals. Just because its fall doesn’t mean you can’t play with citrus brights of sunburst yellow, oxford reds, and deep purples. This season is based off of TRUE CLASSICS: MINIMALISM. 

Fur by Kilde_Janelle on Polyvore.com

Fur has swiped the runways and soon finding its way into your closet.  The reason why I love this trend so much because it comes in so many different shapes and forms: ultra-plush fur peacoat, fur vest and fur accessories of a cape, scarf or even a hat.  You can find quality and a variety of faux furs any and everywhere; when you least expect it.

Menswear by Kilde_Janelle on Polyvore.com

Beautifully tailored details of sharp edges, deep creases, double breast all describes menswear. Menswear comes in so many different styles that make any women just as sexy if she were in her normal pencil skirt or suit.

Chunky Knit Sweaters by Kilde_Janelle on Polyvore.com

Nothing feels cozier during cool days and breezy nights than a chunky knit sweater. This makes a perfect option for laying. No matter the style of the cardigan, dress it up or down; it really goes with everything. You can pair it with not just your basic jeans but classic trousers or a belted skirt.

Camel Coat by Kilde_Janelle on Polyvore.com

Ok in the past I’ve never been a fan of the camel coat but now there are so many different variations I had no choice but to only fall in love. This is a fall must have for all women. I think the one thing I absolutely love about the camel coat is because it shifts from day-to-night.

Color by Kilde_Janelle on Polyvore.com

Forget about your LBD- You cannot be afraid of color this season. All women need a great dress that will make a sensational entrance. Details are everything and can take a simple dress to the next level. Look for ruching, plunging back lines, pleats, ruffles- don’t think just because you’re wearing you’re a bold colored dress it has to be simple. And if so play it off with accessories- skinny belt or patterned hosiery.

Trend Obsession: Military Chic

Military Chic by Kilde_Janelle featuring Balmain

I love the military look that has been sweeping the runway this season. The olive-green, khaki and nude army pieces are perfect for the spring. You can take this look to so many levels with budget-friendly items of sequins, ruined tights, camo totes, and plenty of metal decorum. Beyonce's military tactics are quite simple. A green military jacket with detail finishing of zip pockets and buckles. Pair with a simple tank (style and color) of your choice. Then take the new slim fit, cropped camo pant or choose from an easy straight fitted cropped pant. For your choice of shoes, you could always go for a classic pump or even try a cage sandal. To finish off the look, don't forget to add your metal accents. For your make-up, you want to make sure you keep a clean face with flawless medium-buildable coverage and natural-looking radiance. So keep it simple with your face and play more with your eyes and lips. Now here's some inspiration on how to wear the latest looks in military-inspired fashions. Hope you enjoyed!

Trend Obsession: Cage Shoes

Cage Shoes by Kilde_Janelle

It first started with designer Yves Saint Laurent Cage Shoes which many were indifferent about- the futuristic, edgy look was one of an acquired taste. Now other designers such as Jimmy Choo and Pierre Hardy have partaken in this sensational fashion accessory for this season. Its contemporary, architectural design has swept the runways to high profile celebrities and now to the streets. Some would compare this look to the gladiator sandal; however the caged shoe features countless horizontal and vertical straps that enclose the user’s foot.

The caged shoe is available in sandals, platform heels (my fav) and high stilettos. You can also find a large array of colors, designs, and embellishments of this shoe. With a wide variety of styles offered, any women can pull off this look. Most pair this shoe with a short mini, jumpsuit and leggings. The cage shoe is great for spring and even summer!!!
