This camouflage trend? You bet!

The Military Trend is still in full-swing, and even celebrities like Rhianna and Miley Cyrus and designers like Y-3, Kinder Aggugini,  Kenzo, and Michael Kors are on board!

 From bags to cargos, jackets and even shoes, this camo trend is everywhere!

You've gotta love a versatile trend, and this trend is certainly versatile!

How to make it fit you?

Well, Remember the White Belted Dresses I raved about in my "Fall Trends on A Real Woman's Budget" post? On a cooler day, throw a camo jacket over it for a surprise twist of edge to a classy look.

Fall Trends on A Real Woman's Budget

Go For The Gold!

As i mentioned previously.. It will be a gilded fall! This comes complete with sequins and glittered sheen! Elie Saab pulled the look off for the runway, (left), but I found this Karen Sequin Dress (right) for only $29.00 on Alloy.com! Nude Heels go great with this trend <3





 

Get a Clutch on Daytime Clutches

Stella McCartney & Diane von Furstenberg (above) were just two of the many well known names that featured clutches on the Fall 2012 runways. Below, I found a beautiful white daytime clutch at sears.com for only 14$.
Relic Women's Clutch at Sears.com for 14$.

 

 Back from Black.. To Red

 Red is the new black this season, and The Heart Truth's Red Dress Collection 2012 Fashion Show (see photo, above) really kicked it off with a bang! What started as a nod to heart heath turned into the start of a bold trend for Fall, and I'm loving it!!I found a beautiful dress, (left) from http://www.dhgate.com for around only 20 dollars! Those nude shoes you got for the gold dress, they work here too!

 

Contrasting Collars

 

A contrasting collar can be anything from edgy to cute, depending on how you pull it together. But one thing that is for certain, is that this trend is awesome <3 Derek Lam (above) went edgy with his, adding a leather skirt and done, but not overdone hair. Below, I found a similar piece for only $14.57 at http://www.bonanza.com.

White Belted Dresses

L-R: Chadwick Bell, Jenny Packham, Tory Burch

 White after Labor Day is WAY ok! A slew of designers featured belted tops and dresses of white and off-white shades for Fall. This is an especially great trend if you are petite or a bigger waist. Belting off your dress with give you a fake hourglass shape, flattering your figure. I found a similar belted dress, (below) for only $18.49 at http://www.charlotterusse.com.

Add a bit of structure to your fall ensemble with the Working Girl styled purse. Weather or not your really work 9-5 doesn't matter.. this purse will contribute to many bold looks for Fall! 

 

Studded Shoes and Bags

As I mentioned before, if you like a little edge, this season’s popular studded shoes are where you need to look and an be found on everything from sky-high pumps to reserved flats. But what I didn't mention was that studded PURSES are hot as well!  The one above is from Gucci, but designers such as Jimmy Choo have also featured studded accessories. Whether you want just a hint of metal or something completely covered in studs, you’re bound to find the prefect match with this trend. <3

Shoe Trends- Fall 2012

Thigh/Knee- High Boots

All Available for purchase at Nordstrom.com








From Versace in Milan, to Rachel Zoe in New York, Thigh and Knee High Boots were all over the runways for Fall 2012. I prefer to style these over skinny jeans, with a ladylike silhouette to add some sixties flair (which is in for Fall as well), or for pairing with oversized cashmere. 

 

Low & Kitten Heels

 

At least our feet can take a break too this fall! Low and Kitten Heels are all the rage this season, says Manolo Blahnik, Yves Saint Laurent, Topshop, and more. The heels themselves varied from chunky to pointy,  with peep-toed, rounded, or pointy toes. I love to pair this trend with cropped trousers or below-the-knee skirts for a chic look. <3


Studded Shoes



 

If you like a little edge, this season’s popular studded shoes are where you need to look! These embellishments can be found on everything from sky-high pumps to reserved flats. Whether you want a pair of shoes with just a hint of metal or something completely covered in studs, you’re bound to find the prefect match with this trend. <3 

 

Glitter!


From subtle styles to ultra-shimmery versions, these trendy flats, heels and boots are sure to add some sparkle to your wardrobe.<3
