Top Ten Trends For Fall 2009

1. Power Shoulders: Evocative of both the ’40′s and ’80′s, this formidable silhouette commandeered the fall runways.

2. Biker Babe: Seen in everything from motorcycle jackets, to chains, to leather leggings, this hardcore sexy look is an essential fall component.

3. Black Is The New Black: Collections were once again deep, dark, and rich; think femme-fatale sophistication, not Siouxsie Sioux.

4. Fur: PC or not, it’s everywhere for fall; faux, real, dyed, sheared, and otherwise.

5. One Shoulder: A carry over from spring becomes more structural and modern for fall.

6. Metallic Fabrics: Season after season, it’s shown up in leather and accessories, but key pieces now sparkle and shine in Studio 54-esque lamé.

7. Ladylike Dressing: Designers are buttoning up and paring down for a throwback to a sleek, graceful, feminine, look.

8. Over-The-Knee Boots: A look that I adore, but alas can never wear – they’d come up to my neck.

9. Eyelets: Adorning everything from shoes to belts to bags, they’re a toned down version for those of you who can’t do…

10. Studs: Love. In keeping with the whole biker babe vibe, the punk rock classic has gone mainstream, so stock up!

Bargain Of The Week

Ruche Smokey Gray 'Concierto' Tank $29.99

Ruche Smokey Gray 'Concierto' Tank $29.99

For thirty bucks, this is just too pretty to pass up! There’s something really simple about it, yet at the same time, so much embellishment in the construction of the blouse itself. I think it looks much more expensive than it actually is, not to mention it’s forgiving cut – high on the shoulders to flatter your arms, and loose in the tummy to hide, well…you know; It would be a perfect match for spring’s new cropped pants. I so dig Ruche – it’s like the cheap Anthropologie!

Newport News Smocked Chiffon Blouse

Newport News Smocked Chiffon Blouse $24

Newport News Smocked Chiffon Blouse $24

Once again, super weird photo – maybe not so much with the black chiffon on a white background, but you get the idea. Marked down from thirty-nine dollars, this would be so pretty over a camisole, with slouchy pants (or jeans) and a leather jacket. As always, I like the mixture of tough and feminine, but it would look equally cute on it’s own. I don’t recommend wearing only a bra underneath (a bit Contempo Casuals ’91 for me), unless of course that’s your thing. In that case, go for it.
