Top 10 Trends for Fall in My Opinion....

hardly seems fitting that the Spring 2015 shows are underway

and WE are just now embracing Fall/Holiday ourselves.

here in Houston we're embracing torrential downpours so a change in season

MUST be imminent.

not to say we are seeing temps drop, but enough of a change to have me thinking this

past week about what is going to be important in updating our wardrobes.

a new hair-do

this, to me, is one of the most important things on the list of must-do's after the long hot summer.

but, that's not a Fall trend and doesn't count.

#1

taken from Burberry Prorsum the 

huge blanket poncho

51" x 50 "

around here this is almost all we need for winter most of the time,

however, when we travel or when it really freezes here in Texas these pieces

are fabulous as they work well over our coats too.

#2

the super slit skirt

from Balmain at Bergdorf-Goodman the way I love to see a look finished off:  polished & sleek

#3 everyday leather #4 Pinstripes don't you love this combo, with the red and tturquoise? the plaid shirt?
#5 fur accents on anything/everything
you won't see me in this exact iteration, however, I do have fox flings that I dearly love, and it's my only nod to fur any longer.  am I forgiven?
#6   pastels I know, could this possibly be true? but with many shades of gray arriving on the fashion scene too these colors will work well, and look new, so give it a quick try in front of your mirror.

Louisa Beccaria

#7 ladylike leopard
you guys already know animal prints will NEVER totally go out of fashion anytime soon, so if you haven't already jumped on board now is the time, seriously. & every shop from here to China has leopard!
Ferragamo



roberto cavalli

#8 Blooms Burberry Prorsum THAT bag is certain to be THE iconic bag of the season or a variation of that bag, but you know a big tapestry/painted carpetbagging bag of some kind.
Nina Ricci

#9 Mod Squad Gucci

#10 Monochromatic
the one I love the most

Ralph Lauren Black Label Tom Ford

Valentino

Victor & Rolf
also the gray is really really BIG, perhaps as big as it was about 10-12 years ago, so go into your closets and see what's back there that will work again, I'll bet you'll be surprised.

Composition

I love that nothing on the sideboard is on center,

I also love the contemporary feeling of all the glass containers,

as well as the actual stems of the table-setting...

the painting on the walls & the upholstery are beautiful.

no placemats, beautiful wide linen napkins, an old table

left mostly unpolished, along with original-looking floors and the chair legs

make the look so cohesive, so elegant, so beautiful.

what do you think?
