Fall Must Haves

This fall is all about textures, patterns, and duhh military chic. It is all about mixing the masculine with the feminine and having a tough look with refined chic. It's about putting the classic together with the new and creating a look that is perfectly put together. From parkas and vests to leather shorts and boots I have put together a myriad of amazing stylish key pieces every woman should have AT LEAST one of in her closet this fall. Don't be afraid to mix patterns, colors, and textures- and wear white. This fall is about breaking the rules in a not so rebellious way.

Must Have OUTERWEAR: 1 rockin' leather motorcycle jacket, 1 or 100 fur or faux fur vests, 1 military inspired jacket, and definitely a classic black blazer.

Must Have TOPS: From velvet to zigzags this fall is all about mixing and matching textures and patterns to create a perfectly harmonious ensemble. If you're not feeling so adventurous stick to a palette of muted hues.

Must Have FALL DRESSES: These dresses can take you from day to night and from chilly to brrrrrrr. Pair these dresses with a little leather jacket, or throw on a pair of tights and you're ready to roll. Keep the interest with a subtle pattern, make heads turn with a totally body con Herve Leger. Just because the weather is getting chilly doesn't mean you can't sizzle.

Must Have LEATHER: Who said leather was only meant for jackets? This year the trend continues on. Leather is making headway, and WE LOVE IT. From stretch leather leggings, to who would have thought...LEATHER SHORTS. Wear the leggings alone, or pair the shorts with a some tights, and you're already half way towards a killer ensemble.

Must Have BOOTS: From knee high to lace up this fall is all about the rocker boot. Play with the textures in the leather or the height of the heel, this fall welcomes them all. These are only a couple that caught my eye this season..... there seems to be an incredible selection!

Must Have BLACK BAGS: The classic black bag NEVER goes out of style so why not add some edge with a little bit of fringe or or a spiral notebook hinge? From bucket bags to messengers- anything an everything goes.

Now that I have totally whet my appetite, I think it's time for some shopping!

NYFW SP11: NATHAN JENDEN

Gingham and Florals and Stripes OH MY!

Nathan Jenden, former Creative Director for Diane von Furstenberg, turned it out last night with his Wizard of Oz/theme 'fanfare'. Jenden, who held his event at the old Rainbow Club on 11th and 21st, had a yellow brick road for a runway, music from the Wiz playing in the background and each one of his GORGEOUS HIGH - FASHION models wearing red rhinestone platforms to emulate Dorothy's. -Adorable.

His garments were fun, fresh, whimsical and, totally wearable. It was evident that each piece was well made and in following the footsteps of his former boss, he cut to flatter sizes 0-10.  Navy, periwinkle, pinks, shades of black, white and grey along with bursts of bright yellows, greens and reds - his color story was "Over The Rainbow". - Well done.

I felt like a celebrity when James Campbell, creative director of Vital Marketing Group, escorted us to the front row along side Diane von Furstenberg, Miss Jay Alexander & Katrina Campins from the apprentice. This was by far the most creative show that I've been to all week.
