More, More, More Fall Must-Haves

I can't say I was impressed by Lady Gaga on the cover of Vogue September 2012, however, I do dig her giant fuschia feather hat and tiny Marie Antoinette mole.

The reason why the September issue is a bazillion pages is that designers go all out for Fall.  Forget weight training, just go to the newstand and pick up a few magazines.  Heavy!  This is the best time of year to purge your closet (donate or give your friends some duds) and make room for a few new pieces to jump-start your wardrobe. 

As promised, morex3 Fall Fashion Must-Haves:

• The Scarf Print – A Baroque pattern inspired by 80′s Versace motifs is one of the standout prints of the season.  I particulary like it on a floaty chiffon blouse or on a silk scarf.  To channel your inner Jackie O. take a square scarf, folding it into a triangle and tie the points at the nape of your neck.  Allow the scarf to drape loosely creating a cowl.  This is my favourite look with a fitted blazer.  Super chic!

The classic Hermes scarf also inspires many contemporary motifs gracing apparel this season.

• Skinny Of The Future - This season there are many denim options – jewel tones, printed or coated.  Take your pick!  While colour denim was hottt for Spring/Summer, we are seeing denim in Fall hues such as burgundy, mustard, emerald, turquoise and magenta.  For edgier fashionistahs, there are styles in tie-dye, metallic and faux leather finishes. 

Run about town in your Ernest Sewn Skinny in Turquoise. Best paired with leather riding boots.

These Paige Skyline Leaf Print Skinnies remind me of a craft project. Conversational jeans. Me like.

• Eye of the Tiger – The koala is my power animal when I am sleepy but when I am all riled up, it’s leopard, cheetah or tiger all the way.  Animal prints are easy pieces to add to your transitional wardrobe (especially paired with camel or burgundy), but there is a major emphasis on tigers for Fall/Winter.  These giant tiger heads are popping up on sweaters, dresses and tops. 

Meow! Purr! Hiss! Are you happy to see me or is that a giant tiger on your Moschino dress? Whimsical & nonsense-ical!
