Fall Fashion Watch: Trends Chosen by the Experts

Trend #1

Military Everything! Army Green...bomber jackets...structured coats and jackets. Be on trend this fall with just the right jacket for your body. You can go to ShopBazaar for high-end picks or you can get a fabulous Bomber in the Olive/Army Green for under $25 in PLUS SIZES 1X, 2X, and 3X at Scaled~uP Apparel (pictured below).

Trend #2: Orange (But say it with a French accent for effect!!)

Glamour's Dos & Don'ts always give me life! I live the thin black strip over the eyes of the big fat don'ts! But I digress. This go around they gave us a smathering of how to rock all shades of orange and how to mix and match them for an ultra stylish effect. Two of my favorites are a silky orange top and Solange's front split skirt! Not together unless you dare, but as staple pieces to build an gorgeous outfit upon. Solange paired her skirt (Similar Versace pictured below) with a turtleneck (Love her!). And, I'm seeing the silk sleeveless blouse, being paired with a burgundy pencil skirt! Ah, such cuteness and sophistication. Orange is the new black!

Happy Shopping!!

Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week: F/W 2015

Dreams do come true! I'm covering writing NYFW articles for a real fashion magazine, New York Fashion Weekly!  I couldn't be more thrilled and grateful that the internet exists. I'm tucked away in Virginia, but have a front row seat at the shows. I'm able to view each collection, take my notes, and synthesize my notes into articles that will inform and entertain. I'm excited that from the comfort of my home, I can do a job I love and that really makes my life worth living.

I've always loved fashion design. Now, I get paid to admire pretty things and write. Win-Win! Passions abound and operating in them is so gratifying! What's your passion? How can you start actualizing the passions that run deep in your heart? Don't let another day go by that you don't take a step closer to the pleasure of fulfillment.
