Amp Up the Glam for Fall

Of the 4 seasons, fall is definitely my favorite as far as fashion goes. I love the layered pieces, the warmth of the heavier fabrics, the richer darker colors, the more structured silhouettes and lines and of course....the jackets!!! I also love how structured and polished fall hair and makeup becomes, and how the glam factor really goes through the roof post September. The closer the approach to holiday season the more baubles and bejewled pieces are uncovered...This fall rocks because its ALL about the return of Opulent Glam...

• Dark colors in fabrics like velvet and tweed


• Suits return in ultra feminine silhouettes...with super cinched waists and dramatic curves...belts are still a major accessory


• Gorgeous wow-factor evening gowns ;)


• Over-embellished accessories, and necklaces that have impact


• Long & lean silhouttes with low lying hems and sexy menswear


• Feminine jewel tone dresses and skirts and a shoe that POPS...
• Florals (in subdued winter hues), feathers (as embellishments on evening gowns), and even fur

...are just some of the trends that are hitting the fashion scene this fall. I'm definitely looking forward to them...this season's collections are full of beautiful clothes great for all those social functions that fill up everyone's Fall and Winter calendars. With all those holiay parties looming ahead, it won't be too difficult to find a couple stunners this season.

Don't forget to pair one of fall's extravagant looks with these two Fall Make-up musthaves

1. Victoria's Secret High Definition Mascara in blackest black: The results are amazing...this masacara is lightweight, doesn't clump and doesn't rub off...but it washes off easily and is a steal at $12 for the results!!!


2. Mac Lipstick in Underworld: Don't throw out your C-thru's, Chais, and 1N's yet, just make a space next to them for this fall staple; a deep burgundy matte lipstick that polishes off that opulent fall look. $14

Love all these designer fall fashions but can't stomach the price...Don't worry, achieving these aristocratic looks doesn't have to break your pockets...check for my upcoming blog on Recession Fashion where I'll show you inexpensively chic pieces that will help you achieve this opulent look for less.....LOVE
