LET'S FACE IT....WE ARE ALL WAITING FOR VOGUE'S SEPTEMBER/09 ISSUE

..with baited breathe!
Who's our 'IT GIRL' and what do we want now?

Here are a few TIPS:

SOME OF THE SEASON's MUST~HAVE BUYS...

so we don't end up buying that dress,
top or whole outfit
that sits in our closet the entire season
WITH SHAME!

COLORS & FABRICS

We are loving PRADA's 1st FALL RED COLLECTION...it is fresh, fantastic and pure luxury.
Ruby Red Silk Charmeuse in combination with crushed burn-out velvet brocade,
.. a splash of embellished garnet and ruby jewels and you look like 'Scarlett O Hara'...
sexy, sultry and pure all-out glam....
RED just could be the NEW BLACK right now
*I am even thinking about RED SHADES of eye color...very Asian inspired,yet subtle.
Also look for all shades of Magenta to the Deepest Wine and Royal Purple.

LEOPARD and ALL PRINTS of the ANIMAL KINGDOM...
think crocodile 'rocks' and exotic python in fab colors like lizard green, amber, burgundy wine and deep choco brown.
Mix it up with all types of plaids and checks...very D&G

WILD PLANETARY PRINTS and any prints that are 'CRAFTY' and unique.
They don't have to be a 'visual'...these prints are 'je ne sais quoi'...keep them guessing!

METALLICS...oh no not again!...but yes we are INTO any metallics that are 'antiqued' and 'treated' in new
tones of BRONZE-COPPER-PLATINUM-BURNISHED GOLD to create that whole new BYZANTINE EMPIRE trend
that encompasses decorative LUXE Accessories...go for it!

APPAREL

DAYWEAR...We are seeing MENSWEAR~Inspired dressing, but not your boyfriend's suit and shirting!
Think fitted and sexy suiting with great WHITE BLOUSES that are body conscious-funky cardies...and revealing camisoles.
Paperbag pants are great as long as they FIT...they are coming from the 'BOYFRIEND JEAN' trend of Spring/09,
trickling down to FALL's more structured dressing.

5-7 INTO EVENING WEAR...Buy a leather FITTED LBD. It is packable, versatile and can be worn for years.
Throw on multi chains and pearls a la CHANEL and you've got it going on.
Think simple lines,teamed up with gorgeous RED SUEDE Stilettos.
GO SHORT for DRESSES....GO HIGH for HEELS

ACCESSORIES....SHOES & HANDBAGS....What you've all been waiting for!

THE PERFECT BLACK TOTE...Simple and Elegant, Great Textures, Clean Lines in all brands
THE EMBELLISHED CLUTCH...think grommets, jewels, wonderful origami pleating,great textured skins

SHOES...Don't we all LOVE LOVE LOVE?

WILD-CRAZY-KILLER-HIGHER THAN HIGH Stilettos
SUPER DUPER PLATFORMS...that are actually SUPER COMFORTABLE
OVER THE KNEE 'BOOTY CALL' Boots...wear them with jeans to evening wear...a really great BUY!
STUDDED PUMPS and MULTI TEXTURED...Trending, very creative and UNIQUE

BOLD EXTRAS

'Statement' EVERYTHING...but not all at once!
STATEMENT RINGS-STATEMENT NECKLACES-STATEMENT BELTS-STATEMENT SCARVES

*But don't forget to not take it all so seriously...
IT'S ALL ABOUT 'SELF EXPRESSION-LOOKING & FEELING GREAT
and BEING THE BEST YOU CAN BE..

Thanks for your visit!
