Top Fall Trends

With 100 blog posts under my belt and the winter months upon us, I wanted to take this opportunity to round up all the previous posts on my favorite fall trends.  They were wonderful, and you can be sure I'll continue to wear them, trendy or not.  At least, until Spring...

• Leopard print. Oh, and I had more. And so much more for this.
• Camel/nude/neutral. See also, Zara. And H&M.
• Red. Trendy, yet timeless.
• Lace. January Jones loves lace too.
• Skinny belts. I just love them.
• Tapered trousers. Perfect for work *and* play.
• Faux fur. A look that "never goes out of style."
• Ankle boots (utility edition).
• Leather. Not as edgy as you think. Also, motorcycle jackets.
• Sequins.
• Brocade.
• 70s Style. So sensual.
• Shades of olive.

Happy Friday!

Neighborhood

The other day, I wandered around my neighborhood on a bit of a photo hunt.  Fall is by far my favorite season, and it is especially beautiful in DC.  These are just a few photos I took from the U Street area I call home.

J.Crew Spring 2011 RTW

In case you haven't seen it yet, the J.Crew Spring 2011 RTW collection is perfection - and I want it all.  I love the soft colors and the pops of orange and blue... something to look forward to.

"[Jenna] Lyons' own personal style has long influenced what J.Crew's women's collection looks like, so there was more of her signature mixing of day and night, high and low - chambray with lamé jacquard, sequins with cotton fleece, a floor-length dress with a rugged military jacket. The studded cotton sweater worn with chartreuse duchesse satin evening shorts is destined to be an editor favorite, and the peep-toe lace-up heels made in the same Italian factories used by the designer big guns received many nods of approval." - Style.com
