Minty Trend: Knee-High Socks

Hey guys, I hope all is well!

Don't get me wrong I like the autumn season, beautiful leaves and pumpkin donuts and lattes, but I don't care for the cold air. I would rather wear shorts, denim shirts, and dresses without layering. Too much layering tends to make me look frumpy, not a good look. But since I live in New Jersey, it get's fairly cold. So if you're like me, here is a trend that will help keep you warm without doing too much layering and still keep you stylish.

Mint Must Have: KENZO embroidery sweater

Some say the sweatshirt (jumper) is making a comeback, but I don't believe it ever left. If you've been trend watching during New Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2013 , I'm sure you have seen this eye catching KENZO embroidery sweater. It has been featured on fashionista's including Elena Perminova and Andy Torres. Design duo Carol Lim and Humberto Leon have re-released the Kenzo tiger at opening ceremony. You can get your here. 

Deep Berry

Previously I did  a post regarding fall style trends, but how could I forget the make-up. Over at makeup.com Christiana Molina delivered the Top Fall 2012 Beauty Trends. Most popular was the dark plum lip, which I have being seeing around town a lot lately, on celebs and models. Runway shows that featured this hue included Viktor & Rolf, Yves Saint Laurent, and Gucci where legendary face-painter Pat McGrath achieved a unilluminated romantic look with purposely pallid complexions. I'm not so sure this look is do-able for all skin tones, (meaning mine which already has a deep canvas) but it doesn't hurt to try.

Are you Ready?

As the summer is winding down, I start to prep for fall. If you live on the east coast you know we are experiencing warm days and very cool nights. With that said, it will be getting a lot cooler sooner than we expected. With kids going back to school and beaches starting to look scarce, fall is in motion. For me that means Fall Fashion!

Last fall the trends included oversized scarves, sweaters and beanies, with mustard and rust hues. This time around we will be seeing cozy knits, funky patterns, quilted fabrics, statement collars, and pops of color with navy and wine undertones. As far as the shoes, the classic pointy pump with cropped trouser's and sporty pieces will make a statement. Ankle and riding boots will be carried over from last fall with loose casual looks. Although new trends always arise, it is up to the everyday fashion forward individual to make it work. Check out the pieces.
