Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Trends

Need to know all things fabulous for Fall and Winter 2011-2012? Get ahead of the game and stock your wardrobe with these staple cold-weather looks!

1. Forget that over-done Military look...the new uniform muse is a Bellhop! The leading designer to forward this trend is Louis Vuitton.  http://fashionshow.louisvuitton.com/
       TIPS: Look for strappy and supportive items, flat top hats, large buttons, short wrist gloves, clean colors, lengthy blazers, rectangular handbags, combine colors like gold and carmel or maroon and cooper.
       CONS: The recent runways have all been sporting the color mixture of dark green with navy and the mix of navy and black.  I've never been a fan of navy and black combined, it makes a girl look like they are color blind.

2. Fashion Season Rollovers: Sinched waists and c-thru tops! I guess the Kim Kardashian curvy silhouette will never go out of style. Try a neutral outfit with a patent leather belt to add pop.

3. High Calf Boots and Low-Ankle boots:  Put those high ankle boots and mid-calf boots in the back of your closet. Grab these newer shaped boots because they both do a wonderful job at elongating the legs.

4. Neckline: Round-neck curve. Con: this look never does well for large chested women

5. Makeup 2011-2012: Put down the Snooki bronzer and go for a clean-canvas singular face tone.  Undo your smokey eye because the linear defined lines are in! Also, pick up some warm colors like mac's "red brick" eyeshadow. Mix it in with some metallics, black/browns and nudes on ur lid to warm up your daily stare.

6. Luckily for all you fashionistas out there, designers are coming up with sexier and sleeker rain/snow outfits and accessories.
