Hey Fashionista!

The past couple of weeks I've been scoping out the retail scene to create the perfect Fall outfit with feminine essentials. I've been bombarded with endless magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Vogue, Allure, etc. that suggest a million-and-one trendy Fall ideas.
 
Some suggestions were a little out-there like: wear animal-print pants with animal print tops. For an added bonus: throw on a leopard hat. Really? Or- Wear bright colored cotton socks with open-toe high heels... Hmmmm.

 The only time I recall using these trends was when my age was a single digit. My partner in crime..(I mean, my cousin ;) and I (overloaded with sugar) raided my mother's closet. We threw on every item we could get our hands on and pretend we were in a fashion show. Completely silly, I know. But, the point is that these trends aren't particularly feminine or essential to looking fabulous for Fall.

If you are the type of woman who appreciates simple, feminine trends that will last longer than a season, check out my favorite feminine Fall essentials that won't show up in October's Cosmo, Glamour, Vogue, or Allure magazine...

Fashion brings me joy because of the opportunity it has to shape lives for the better. It's always been my belief that no matter what goes on outside us, we always have the power to improve our lives through creative expression, such as fashion. I enjoy teaching women how to dress their best with the clothes, budget and shape they have. There are no limits to making your fashion dreams come true!
