Fall Obsession: Colorful Fur

This is one trend I'm obsessing over for fall, I want to own every piece showcased on the runway ! I just ordered the Isabel Marant fur one and cannot wait to pair it with leather pants and some serious footwork!

Balmain

Isabel Marant

Versace

Valentino

And check out Abbey Lee rocking this trend amazingly!!!

Fall 2010 Trends pt4: Golden Opulence

Think extravagence, royal and rich hues. Baroque inspirations. All these are keywords to describe this trend which was embraced strongly by designers. The best way to translate this trend is to keep everything else neutral and let the clothes make the statement. Try buying brocades, golden coloured frocks and sequins which will help you incorporate this into your wardrobe.

Rochas does it 70s style

Take cue from Just Cavalli and mix brocade pants with leather jackets for a super edgy look

Fall 2010 Trends Pt3: Velvet

To the Moon

The half moon nail trend is definitely one that has been strong on the Fall runways and it  gives a really edgy look. I've been sporting it in black and white lately and loved it! Take cue from the runways and make your next mani a moony ;)

Style Icon: Elisa Sednaoui @ 2010 Venice Film Festival

Elisa Sednaoui does the fifties look perfectly in her  head to toe Louis Vuitton ensemble. The look is modernized by a simple pony tail and barely there makeup. I also love the fact that she kept her neckline free of accessories otherwise it would have been too much for the look.

The most popular dress of the season!!!

I knew from the moment i watched Miu Miu's Fall 2010 collection that it will strike a cord with the fash crowd. I mean how can it now, it's simply amazing in a playful and fresh new take on the season's most prominent trends. What i did not anticipate though is that it will be featured on so many covers! You can't open a fashion mag without seeing this dress, whether on the cover or in the shoots! Brilliant PR but i just think they might have overdone it a tad. What do you think?

Backpackin' is the new way to go!

Back Packs are undoubtably a new trend that's been popular with celebs and the cool fash bloggies! One of the designers who caught up on this is Alexander Wang; the master of street cool.

Princess RiRi looks ultra cool in her dress (which you can get your hands on at Blush Boutique, order it now from their group HERE) But behold that gorgeous Chanel Backpack she is carrying. I am green with envy!! Need this bag right now.

And in Velvet also !

Trends: Fall 2010 pt 2: Fifties and retro dressing

Take cue from Mad Men as the runways were filled with midi full skirts and body hugging tops in a retro 50s style. This look can be modernized by adding sharp tailored jackets a la Dries Van Noten or accessorized in a modern way. We also saw corset body hugging dresses that emphasize the curves in Marilyn Monroe style at the likes of Dolce & Gabbana and Nina Ricci. At Isabel Marant, models were sent in capri rolled up jeans modernized by adding sharp shoulders or casual sweaters.

Trends : Fall 2010 pt.1 RED LEATHER

Leather Pants and leggings have been going on for sometime, but this season designers introduced them in the season's hottest colour: RED! Seen on the runways of Balmain and Isabel Marant; Red leather pants are a must have for fall 2010. If done right, this look can be super edgy and classy.

  There is a sort of freedom in this look that resembles the city style vibe and trend going around now, This look is my style aesthetic in daily life, boho meets rocker chic. It's summer layering done in easy fabrics of silks and jerseys.
• 
  
  To start with, the main point is the demin shorts and a white tank, which is like a canvas that you can create so many looks with.
• 
  
  I threw on a long silk cardigan , which seems to be my uniform for this season! I adore Winter Kate and Kite & Butterfly, they have so many versatile and gorgeous pieces, and you should stock up on them this season and wear them forever, you can find the variety at Blush Boutique
• 
  
  To me any look is not complete without jewelry, I like piling mine and i love statement pieces. The necklaces shown above can be worn with anything and they give this tough chic look to any outfit. I also love statement bold rings. I actually collect them! This one shown above by Pamela Love is a gorgeous one and definately a hot buy.
• 
  
  For heels, I paired these purple Louboutins, which give a pop of unexpected yet contrasting colour with the look. They make the outfit more fashion forward and spot on!
• 
  
  Now for the handbag situation, I wanted something with a downtown cool vibe mixed with a vintage like appeal and of course the perfect fit was the PS1 which has taken the fahsion scene by storm! It pulls the outfit together in such a cool way.
• 
  
  Sunglasses go without saying when we say Daytime style, it adds allure and mystery. I think they can make a first impression of the outfit, giving it the final vibe you want to go for. This Alexander Wang zipper detailed one is what i was going for ; an edgy look on a classic shape. The zipper details give it a rock chic air.
• 
  
  Last but not least , my beauty note here would be smoky eyes or defined eyes with nude lips and a bit of bronzer. One of the best eyeliners around , this Bobby Brown cream gel is long lasting, and you apply it with a brush so its less messy for people who don't have steady hands. You can create gorgeous smoky strokes with it.
