Camel coats seem to be a staple item for the forthcoming season. Camel is a fantastic break for winter from the usual “go to” black, gray, and winter white. Must have camel is a sign that fashion is going back to basics. It’s time to break out the trenches. Maybe try a camel pea coat to blend with this seasons military/utilitarian trend, or our favorite, a wool boyfriend blazer in camel which looks tres chic over classic nautical stripes and wide leg trousers. Feeling like you need a pick me up on a drab winter day? Add a pop of red (shoes/bag) to compliment this iconic look.

We have written about the bustier trend in the past, but this season it is taking a turn in a more traditional direction. The undergarment is being worn as an outer garment in conjunction of the 1950’s/”Mad Men” craze. Bustiers have been seen on the runways of both Prada and Louis Vuitton with era appropriate circle skirts. Or try wearing them with tight pencil skirts and cardigans for a bombshell effect. For a more unconventional approach try pairing a bustier with wide leg trousers or high waist shorts.

Girls are going Goth this Fall/Winter! Designers have been influenced by the dark side for the season. With the revival of minimal 90’s black ensembles, to the hard cut black leather seen at Givenchy and Rick Owens. Open weave knits resembling spider webs are also key for the season. Not only is Goth a key fashion trend for the upcoming season, but it will creep into our makeup bags as well, with fresh pale faces and deep dark burgundy lips to match. Not ready to plunge into this trend? Try a modified look with a Luxe Gypsy Goth dress a la Stevie Nicks, or go Neo-Goth with inspiration from Proenza Schouler’s leather corseted dressed and cropped jackets in dark emerald and ebony.

We have already seen a bit of the 1990’s coming back with the resurrection of grunge and last week we blogged about the revival of 1970’s influence in upcoming trends for this Fall/Winter. Seems like fall will be a whirlwind of decades as the 50’s returning with ladylike looks. Circle skirts will be a big trend for Fall/Winter’10. Models at Louis Vuitton’s fall show were spotted wearing them paired with short sleeve fitted sweaters and fur trimmed collars. Think Betty Draper and June Clever, with 50’s/60’s cinched waist day dresses and prom style frocks. Top off this look with prim and proper stylings, black liquid liner and ruby red lips. Freshly baked apple pie, optional!

This fall/winter will bring a revival of numerous eras ranging from the 1950’s, to the 1990’s, and more specifically the 1970’s. The 70’s influence has sprouted throughout several collections for the upcoming season. Suits circa 1970 have made a big comeback with designers Gianfranco Ferre, Akris, Ferragamo, and Balmain. Think high waist, wide leg trousers worn with buttery silks and working girl neckties. The perfect blend of masculine meets feminine!

Who doesn’t love the comfort and coziness of a sweatshirt? We do! That’s why we are super excited to see the sporty top being worn for Fall/Winter 2010. We got a sneak peek of the sweatshirt trend this spring as a staple player in the Sporty trend du jour paired with leather shorts. For Fall/Winter 2010 we will see sweatshirts being paired with posh ladylike skirts and ultra feminine accessories. Make sure the sweatshirt is fitted and for an effortlessly chic look, pair it with soft romantic bottoms.

Nautical was the theme for Louis Vuitton’s 2010 Cruise Collection and also a key trend for summer. So naturally we couldn’t help but fall in love with their Shine Bracelets. But with the accessories setting us back over $2000, who has money to go on a cruise? Instead, DIY.
You will need :
Wooden bangles (unpainted)
Acrylic Paint (colors of your choice)
Paint brush
3 yards of ¼” drapery rope in ivory or off white
2 pks of 24 brass or gold drapery tacks (we used 16 per bracelet)
Flat nose pliers
Industrial strength glue (we love E-600, in every craft store)
Spray acrylic gloss
Drill
To get started:
Apply two coats of acrylic paint letting each coat dry before applying the next. Once both coats have completely dried then spray a coat of gloss making sure it is evenly applied. Let coat dry and repeat. After your gloss sets use smallest bit and drill a hole on either side of the cuff for the drapery tack to later be placed. We recommend marking where you want to drill to ensure the tacks are evenly placed.
Next, cut your rope in half creating two equal pieces for each bracelet. Using the glue, paint a coat on the end of the rope creating a seal to prevent unraveling. Begin wrapping the rope around the bracelet covering your drilled holes, using a little bit of glue to secure the rope as you go. Once you finish wrapping, cut the excess rope off again painting glue on the end to create a seal. Attach the two ends together on the inside using a layer of glue. Let dry.
After your glue has hardened cut the ends down on your drapery tacks using the flat nose pliers, then place tacks around the top and bottom of the bracelet where you drilled your holes. (Optional: dip your tacks in glue before inserting for extra security.)

Leopard prints are forever in and out of style. We saw a major influence in 2009, with the edgy rock ‘n roll trends, and the coveted vintage leopard coat ( Winter ‘09). As we progressed to Spring of 2010 we saw leopard used in neon variations from dresses to accessories. Having great staying power, leopard print is sticking around for the fall. We have seen the print on everything from dresses to yummy booties and gold leopard animal cuffs. To give it a fresh look for the up coming season, we love incorporating the print with decadent gold lame or opalescent brocade. For the unexpected kitschy twist we love pairing leopard with black and white polka dots!
