The crispy a
ir, the deep and rich colors and pumpkin spice lattes are here… its fall and I couldn’t be MORE excited! Even though our weather’s in the 80’s, 90’s even 100’s this week and people are still out and about in their summer maxi dresses, I thought I’d start my ‘I love fall’ celebration on this lovely first ‘official’ day of fall, and share my thoughts on three staples all of us ladies MUST have or seek this season. Trench coat, boots and scarf.
Ok, ok… I know that’s so boring and of course everyone knows that trenches, boots and scarves have been fall wardrobe staples forever, BUT I came across some goodies that allow you to mix these bad boys up so they’re new, refreshing and oh-so- diva!
The trench coat this season, is taking on a whole new feminine look. Burberry trenches will always be classic and amazing, but for some reason, taking that starched collar and hard edges and replacing it with a more delicate ruffled trim is so pretty and dainty I want to just wrap myself in one and skip away. Beyonce (I heart you Beyonce!!) is seen like the diva she is wearing this fabulous ruffled tan trench
, and you can get a similar version in black from Bergdorf’s. I’ll start saving my pennies…
Boots come in all sorts of sizes, shapes, colors, heights… it’s endless. Last year, it was all about the bootie. This year, my cup of tea is the over-the-knee boot. Can these models’ legs look any longer? These thigh-high boots bring you height, length and trim a bit here and there which we all want on occasion! My ‘wish list’ pick for anyone who wants to make me smile the biggest smile I’ve ever had, would be these camel color over-the-knee ‘Twiggy’ boots from Joie… I’m a size 38, FYI. 
Last is my favorite accessory that I wear almost year round, the scarf. This fall, set aside your small, dainty scarves and wrap yourself in an over-sized shawl or scarf that engulfs your neck so you’re sure to block out any bit of cold air. There’s nothing like snuggling up in a scarf to embrace the weather outside, and it can’t help to look fabulous when you do! These scarves can be found anywhere really, in prints, solids and different fabrics, check out the variety and cheap deals at Bluefly for this fall!
I’ll check in throughout the season with more goodies I find out and about for fall 2009, but thought I’d start with a few of my favorites to share… now, time to check my bank account and see what I can splurge on!
