The Gospel

Happy Friday Everyone! Real quick I just wanted to share with you the book I am reading right now and it profiles my favorite designer Coco Chanel, I love this because it sends my message that I don't have to wear Chanel to be Chanel. Her influence of clean lines and simple elegance can be achieved without spending your life savings. I recommend it for anyone who has a love for classic style. Have a great weekend and enjoy!

Have you ever been suddenly drawn to a certain color, whether it was the color of a scarf or a jacket and suddenly your whole closet has bursts of it everywhere? That is the subliminal influence of fashion. you may not even know it but that gorgeous marigold scarf you just had to have is the result of seeing the color on the runway like this example from Oscar de la Renta (left).







This dress as gorgeous as it is may not be something you can pull out to wear to the office or on a dinner date, however its influence is everywhere as seen here on the right.

Never be afraid of color, now I'm not saying go all out Japanese scene girl. But if like me in years past you are a slave to the all black, white and beige, start out by integrating in a funky pair of earrings or something. The simplest of outfits can be dressed up with the right pair of earrings.

Here is ELLE magazines top fall fashion picks

Enjoy!

As the first day of fall approached, stores were busier than ever. Ive never seen so many people flocking for brightly colored pants and big sweaters before in my life.
Living on the coast I live for these cooler days after the hot and humid summers.
I personally feel that I look better in the fall, more accessories, layers, sweaters and BOOTS! I am a sucker for a boot, Give me a pair of skinny jeans black sweater, yellow scarf and black riding boots and I feel that I can take over the world.
Some people are not as Fall confident as I am, so for that I will assist by giving you some fall wardrobe staples. Every season when the clothes rotate from ceder chest to closet you pull out your "Staples" or Basics.
Example:
This is a general fall wardrobe diagram. If you have these in your closet you can formulate a great fall outfit. Later we will talk color but for now get started on your basics.
