5 Trend Thursday

Today I am going to talk about 5 trends that are SMOKIN HOT for fall to 2011. From the catwalk to the street, these styles are running rampant in the fashion world! Check them out...

MAD MENSWEAR

This trend started off small but is becoming larger than life! From blazers to oxfords and all the way to bow-ties, menswear is being incorporated into almost ever women's ensemble. Pair a fitted blazer with a sheer billowy maxi-skirt for a dressed up look, or combine some skinny jeans with a button down and heels for a fun night out on the town!

BRIGHTLY COLORED PANTS

When the majority of people think of fall fashion, muted and neutral colors come to mind...but thats not the only option you have! Bright colored straight leg pants are oh-so-popular this season. Pair a neutral colored top with some bright red skinny jeans and heels and your ensemble will be full of warm colors for fall, while remaining vibrant and flirty!

BARELY THERE MAKE-UP

The trends in make-up change at the speed of light. Whether its smokey eyes, rosy cheeks or purple eye-liner, getting creative with your color pallet can be fun and inventive! A trend that is chic, simple and easy for autumn is barely there make-up. Wear a silky nude lip color, subtle liner, a swipe of blush and mascara that makes your lashes look a mile long and you'll be looking gorgeous! 

SEVENTIES STYLE

Can you feel the fever? Hot seventies style has made its way back around and it is as chic as can be! Patterned dresses, floppy hats and flared pants are just a few of the extravagant pieces that take you back in time. Try this look with those fringy boots that sit on the floor of your closet for a true seventies look, or make it modern with some skinny jeans and a top thats decorated with a haute hippie pattern!

FUR FRENZY

Whether your a PETA supporter who wants to protect the furry creatures of our world, or you like to spend a lot of money on the real thing, fur is prowling its way across the runway! Just because this trend isn't subtle doesn't mean that you have to look like you have a bear draped over your shoulders. Mix it up with a chic vest worn with skinny jeans and some booties, or combine a fur shawl with a maxi-skirt and a fitted cable-knit! This trend may be intimidating, but once you try it you will be roaring for more!
