Fall 2016 Trends - Part One

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fall is around the corner and the trends for the season have started showing up in the runways of fashion shows and fashion week. Some of the trends that would be seen this Fall include the saddle bag (pictured Above) with sleek, beautiful lines. Last fall, the bag for the season was the bucket bag but I know the bucket bag would likely take a back seat this Fall.

Lace has always been a popular fabric for summer but this Fall, we are going to see loads of it in layered Fall fashion and a bold color lace top peeking through in a trench coat or jacket would add an interesting detail to layered look.

 

Don't we just love the good old striped tee that is ever present in any season of the year? Yes, we do! The striped tee would make a great comeback for Fall and it would make a nice combination for that cute sneaker.

 

The caged sandals or booties is another interesting shoe design that has been featured a lot in the runways lately so it is definite that we'll see lots of it in the Fall season. Tassels, pom-poms and fringe are some adornments that would come with the caged sandal too.

The pointed toe flats in great colors, neutral hues and sleek designs would grace lots of feet in the Fall season too and they would help with the transition to those chic Winter boots. Most designers and major stores are already out with their chic flats and the suede pointed toe flats would be a cool trend too.

 

 

 

The Cropped denim is already here this summer but more of it would be seen in Fall along with the denim culottes. 'Just throw a great chunky sweater over it and you are good to go. The combination of a striped tee, cropped denim, caged sandals and a saddle bag is one to watch out for. If you are not interested in any of these trends, it would be fun to sit down in a mall and just "people watch" to see how the trend plays out.

Casual in blue

Its been a while since I posted a casual look on here; I had second thoughts about these pics though. It was a Saturday morning and I had just had a big breakfast and had bags packed in the car for a family road trip. I realized later when I was looking at the pics in my phone that my overfilled stomach was bulging under my tee...lol. Next time, I would suck my stomach in as much as I can or I'll just avoid taking pictures after a big meal altogether.

I had fun on the trip and it was a road trip to remember. I did mention in my one of my previous posts that I made a short trip to Africa too after nearly ten years since my last visit. It's been an eventful summer for me. I hope you have been enjoying the summer too. A walk in the park with family and friends can also be as fun and rewarding as can be. Would you also post very casual looks on your blog? What are your thoughts...

Hello September

Hello everyone; happy new Month of September. I knew I just had to get on the blog to say hi and express my well wishes for the new month. How have you all been? Summer is gradually coming to an end and I'm a bit sad about it..:-) This summer has been a fun and eventful one and I pray the Fall season brings along loads of fun too.

I got this awesome pineapple print skirt with pockets from Ann Taylor at the onset of the summer and I really like the diversity it adds to my closet both in print and color. The fabric is very soft and comfy though it wrinkles quite easily. The length is just perfect too. I am so glad I got to wear some cool skirts this summer because Summer is the best time for skirts like this; in my opinion. Do you agree?

Floral Flats for Fall

The Fall Season is coming fast upon us and this is the time to start looking for deals and savings on Fall items; everything goes up full price when the stores are stocked up for Fall. Big stores like Nordstrom and Topshop just ended their summer sales and I was able to score a few pieces and accessories here and there for Fall.

This pair of floral pumps pictured here were on sale at DSW a couple of weeks ago and the print and color is so great for fall. The sleek pointed toe design and floral prints definitely would look good paired with a blazer, a scarf or a great color blazer.

Cameo Print and Jeans

So, It's August; "happy new month of August friends. I feel like I am neglecting my blog this year but I'm glad I'm still able to put up a post every now and then; in other words, I am still here..:-). I have on another off the shoulder top today which I purchased recently from Romwe. It was under $20 and it is good to know that ladies can now buy quality items at affordable prices from so many online stores. However, we still need to exercise some caution when we shop online. It's better to do research about the merchant and also read reviews. I wish I know how to sew though, I heard the "off shoulder top" is pretty easy to make. Would you wear Camo prints? Your thoughts...

Denim and Floral Skirt

Denim shirt should be a staple in everyone's closet because it is such a great neutral that can go with almost any kind of bottom. I paired mine with this floral midi skirt I purchased from JCrew recently and completed the look with a pair of red fringe sandals; very casual and fun outfit.

 

 

 

Skirt: JCrew / Denim shirt: Loft (sold out) Similar Sandals: Steve Madden

 

 

 

 

Floral skirts are just so appropriate for the summer too and they should be staples  in our closet. The summer is rolling by so fast and I am doing all I can to enjoy each day with my family. I hope you are enjoying your summer too. What do you think of floral skirts?

#Styleboard

Hi Friends, remember I said I have been busy doing stuff behind the scenes? one of which is running two Instagram accounts. One of my accounts which I am showcasing in this post is a compilation of my Polyvore sets and the aim is just to have fun with fashion and styling which is one of my fun things to do. What lady does not like fashion; right? Style board helps me get organized with my wardrobe and it gives me inspiration when I put outfits together for an event. Polyvore is a good website for shopping too because you can search for items in different price range and budgets.

 

 

Stop by my feed @beautysfashionzone and let me know what you think of my styleboards.  My personal IG is @beautyojo and I'll love to connect with you on there too. Let's support each other and work together in leaving positive footprints in our world.

Shoe Lovin'

              Topshop Mules

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The last time I did a post about Summer shoe trends here I definitely left out one of the biggest trend of the Summer; "mules." Although this trend is creating a buzz right now in fashion, this shoe trend is definitely recycled because it was around sometime in the mid nineties when the Jelly version graced the runways and street fashion. I would say there are more stylish versions of the mules around now though especially this mustard color Topshop brand; it is just so beautiful in my opinion and can be dressed up and down. It also comes in other solid colors like blue and wine and retails for $110. You can check it out here.

 

Since this might be a trend that might not last for two long? I did some research and found a cheaper version on Amazon which are currently on sale for less than $40. It is made of leather and not as dramatic as the Topshop ones and the reviews reveal that the sizing is off but hey!...lol
