Hangover Friday

Goodness me! After an eventful Thursday night at Alive after Five I find myself hungover at work. Being stuck here, hungover, for 8 hours with no bed in sight has got to be one of the worst things ever. It makes me cringe almost as bad as the new short shorts trend sweeping Hollywood. Ugh, I mean, seriously girls, shorts???? Shorts should have left your wardrobe the same time training bras did.

Onto bigger and better things, it's (drum roll, please) FALL SEASON! In a matter of months the weather will start getting cooler, sleeves get longer, humidity levels will drop. This also brings about a whole new slew of clothing and any girl worth her weight in fashion knows to start shopping now to get the best stuff. Being a summer lovin girl, I have always protested fall and winter by not purchasing new sweaters. This season, however I can't wait to go shopping for some delectable new fall clothing. Everthing this season is all about soft and luxurious. A few key pieces that will definitely be joining my mini boutique of a closet, and that should also find their way to yours are:

1. anything velvet. I looooooove this velvet jacket from Banana

2. T-strap shoes are still here and I'm happy to report that metallics are in for another season so feel free to stock up.

3. A large purse. Ideally, a Gucci horsebit hobo would find it's way into my closet, but alas I think my budget might only afford me this lovely saddle bag by Emily

4. Faux fur! Fall is very Russian inspired this season so look for faux fur collars and boleros to pop up everywhere.

5. A fully flowy skirt which looks fabulous with wedges. *** Note:Make sure to save your flats for your pants. These do not look good with any type of skirt, unless they are a ballet flat.

6. BELTS!!!!! They're not just for holding up your pants any more. Belts have made a huge comeback. Wear a skinny one around a cardigan or choose a braided metallic or leather belt wrapped around a flowy dress. Braided, studded, skinny or wide, belts are back and can give chicness to any outfit.

Toodles for now, I must go in search of Starbucks for my hangover.

p.s. Here's a question to ponder over the weekend and I look forward to your responses on Monday.... If you had $1,000 and had to spend it all on ONE fashion item for fall, what would you purchase?
