Luxe Look

With the start of fall comes the usual runway affair with everything textured, decadent, and warm. Who could blame us? After summer’s strong rays  and chlorinated waters, our skin just wants to be pampered. This season, fabrics are all about LUXURY!

Models were working silk, leather, velvet, faux-furs, and animal print (including some envious python in the footwear department). Is it old world fever, due to shows like Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire, or Pan Am floating around in our subconscious? Or is it just the fashion world’s antidote to the faltering stock market? Either way, were all for looking and feeling like a million dollars – even if the look costs you less than $200.

Colour Clash

Style inspiration: Giambattista Valli Fall 2011 RTW. Photo courtesy of Style.com.

Here is the new rule in colour theory for 2011: clash it. Unconventional combinations of bright hues are on point for fall, not to mention, it’s a refreshing contrast in a sea of black. Think red and pink, orange and yellow, and blue and purple for a look that packs some serious punch. Not quite ready to go head-to-toe in technicolour? Try mismatching your brights with your bag and shoes.
