    Fall Trends To Wear Right Now

    Fall Fashion Trends

    This post is in collaboration with Evereve however all opinions and thoughts are my own.

    In case you live under a rock we are in the midst of the best fashion season of the year!!!  FALL.  Fall fashion trends are my favorite of the year and I am excited to share my top picks for fall fashion trends to wear right now!

    Each fall designers and stores come out with so many fun trends to try and this year is no different.I love everything fall (except pumpkin spice) as it is a season of starting over.  The changing leaves reminds us to shed things/burdens weighing us down, settle in and cozy up with family and friends as the holidays approach and the idea that each season brings a new chance to reflect and regrow.  Fall trends tend to fit right into all of those feelings and this season I am loving ruffles, velvet, embroidery and lace.

    Each product is shopable from the image- just click on what you like!!  (The lace dress is, unfortunately, sold out on line but available in stores)

    trend 1: EMBROIDERY

    This trend is feminine, flirty, fun and a bit retro.  I am loving how it transforms a regular sweater or dress to a piece with character and style.  Embracing the embroidery trend was a slow roll for me as I almost felt like it was dating me but the more I tried it on the more I fell in love with it.  It truly is one of the hottest trends this fall as you will see it on dresses, denim, shoes, sweaters, bags, hats, shirts, skirts…. I mean the list goes on and one.  Below are my favorite picks for embroidery from Evereve.

    trend 2: lace

    Is there anything for girly than lace??? Is there anything more delicate than lace???  Both of those reasons are why I am loving lace this fall season.  It adds such an element of girly and delicatenesss to anything that it is hard to not want to pair it with everything, I am loving how lace can transform an otherwise heavy look into a light sophisticated look.  Pairing lace with distressed denim, skirts, velvet, black denim or even underneath your sweater is a perfect way to add a little lace to your wardrobe.

     

    trend 3: velvet

    This is my favorite fall trend.  And this is actually a surprise to me as I am a texture person and something about the way velvet feels does not sit well with me.  HOWEVER, I am loving the look and style of velvet this season.  My personal favorite is velvet skinnies.  Don’t be fooled though, velvet is dominating all pieces including skirts, shirts, shoes and dresses.  Pair your favorite velvet with a lace top or even an embroidered sweater for a street trendy look this fall.

     

    trend 4: ruffles

    Who doesn’t love ruffles???  Any store you walk into right now you will see ruffles… and Evereve does it right!  Ruffles on dresses, shirts, sleeves, cuffs.. just about anything.  Let’s talk about the benefits of ruffles.  To start, they are a good disguise for the summer of too much ice cream, they are a great accent to draw your eye to different parts of your body and they add an element of fun to any outfit.  I mean, when I wear ruffles I just want to spin and twirl!!  Swoop up your favorite ruffles below!

    Indulging in Guilty Pleasures: Perfect Holiday Dress

     

    • Reality television.  
    • Reality magazines.
    •  Camo print.  
    • Binge reading.  
    • brownies.  

    These are my most cherished guilty pleasures.  I mean it when I say they are cherished because while they are guilty pleasures I cherish each moment, each bite and each article of clothing that I get.

    These days it is hard to find the time to indulge in reality television (or reading) plus there is the factor of being in another country. I tried to substitute my Bravo and E! with some UK wannabes… but they just do not compare.  So it is a rare occasion that I get to watch anything from the states!  But when I do it is such a treat and I typically find myself mesmerized and always wanting more… the true definition of a guilty pleasure.

     

    shop the look:  dress // clutch // EARRINGS // bracelet // ring // jacket <similar>

    As the Holiday party invitations are stating to arrive I got excited about finding the perfect Holiday dress.  And I am convinced that people indulge themselves much more around the holidays so I am merrying the two for this post.  Lace is a M U S T  have for winter this year.  It is everywhere.  And this lace frock is 100% the perfect party dress.  It is stylish, comfortable, classy and fits like a glove.  Do not wait as this baby will sell out.  The compliments you will receive when you walk into that Holiday party are going to be overwhelming.  I paired the dress with my designer dubs <original post here> and they complimented the feminine lace perfectly by adding a touch of edgynesss.  I chose to do very simple jewelry and really let the dress be the statment piece- simple gold studs, dainty gold bracelet and simple gold ring.  It really is about the dress.  Given the potential weather elements during holiday parties I typically bring out my very festive red coat- it is about 4 years old but has lasted me forever.

    The retailer- & Other Stories– is fast becoming my favorite store here in London.  Luckily they have an online for US unless you live in California or New York where you can visit an actual shop.  Check them out… I promise you will find many things you love.  Let me know what you love!!!

    Indulge yourself

    Getting to  indulge in these guilty pleasure every so often really keeps me motivated on tough days.  I set goals and when I accomplish them I reward myself with an hour of reading, or some brownies… yes I said S O M E.  In fact, the last time I ate just one brownie at a time was…. never.  Being able to splurge on something camo makes me so happy.  But if I did these things all the time they would loose their appeal.  It is important to leave a few things sacred- a few things for special occasions- like a lace dress or watching reality television.  Too much of a good thing is too much of a good thing.

    What indulgences will you treat yourself to this holiday season?? You will probably find me wearing this dress, eating brownies watching Bravo!!

    Happy shopping!  Remember all thumbnail photos are linked directly to a retailer for easy one step shopping.  Just click and go.
