Trend Watching:A Pop of Pink...

What is the easiest way to give anything neutral a hint of femininity? Why, add a pop of pink, of course! Pops of pink are showing up everywhere, from interior decor to makeup to fashion. And I think I'm kind of loving it...

Now sadly, as far as decor goes, I think the best I might be able to talk the husband into is a pink throw pillow... but that won't stop me from daydreaming about putting a whole room together!

How do you feel about pink? Love it or leave it? Will you wear it in small doses, or are you brave enough to rock it in all its feminine fierceness as the basis of an outfit? I think the photos above speak for themselves. Pink is definitely a do in my book! Now, I'm going to go closet shopping and see what I can come up with...where are my pink pumps?

Street Spotting: NYFW Street Style

The blog world has been abuzz for the past week with all that beauty and style that is New York Fashion Week.  While the runways are always a dazzling thing to behold, what I find sometimes even more interesting is what people wear to the shows. So with no further adieu, here are just a few shots of some of the fashonistas who were lucky enough to attend the SS12 shows.

Love these shoes!

and my fave look...

Loving the long and lean look of this ensemble, and the bold blazer is an excellent touch. And its amazing to me that with the obvious black/orange color palette, this outfit still reads as chic... rather than landing a fashion snafu by veering into the Halloween department. I'd would wear the whole look. As you can see from  this little peek into the fashion world, two things seemed to be everywhere: color and animal prints. Fun!

The IT List: Accessories!

As previously mentioned, I love Fall. I also ♥ me some accessories. Actually, its more like I have a slight addiction to accessories. Particularly shoes... and bags... and jewels... Ah, yeah, pretty much everything. It was hard to whittle this list down to a manageable few... but after much contemplation, here is the result. A tightly edited list of all the Autumn prettiness that I want {need} to add to my wardrobe for fall, and beyond.

1. Very Volatile Wedge Booties in Gray

2. Stella and Dot Starry Night Necklace

3. Mini Rams Horn Necklace by Belle Noel

4. Vince Camuto Bootie in Black Leather

5. Rebecca Minkoff Affair Quilted Handbag

6. Frye Cameron Flap Satchel in Taupe

7. Rebecca Minkoff Red Patent MAC Clutch

8. Vince Camuto Elanie Pumps

9. ASOS Gold Domed Cocktail Ring

10. Betsey Johnson Big Links Chain

11. Lauren by Ralph Lauren La Plage Double-Strand Link Bangle

12. Frye Dorado Riding Boots in Dark Brown

13. J Crew Skinny Patent Leather Belt in Golden Amber

With so much bold color floating around this fall, the accessories need to ground your looks. Accessory silhouettes are classic and streamlined, or strong and architectural. Perfect to mix and match with whatever fabulous fall outfit you have planned for the day. 

I'm picturing the riding boots with a boldly colored shift dress and gray ribbed tights, or jeans and a tee. I'd wear the leopard print heels with just about anything, but they would be a knockout with bright skinny jeans a slouchy white tee, the gold link bracelet, and the mustard yellow belt. Or spin those same accessories for work with a pencil skirt and a button down. 

The gray wedge booties get and A+ for walkability as well as overall versatility. Throw them on with jeans, a floaty floral blouse, the satchel, and add the layered necklaces for the 70's boho vibe. Black leather leggings, a striped tee, and blazer garner you downtown chic. 

The black booties you can wear with anything and everything. The red crossbody/clutch adds the perfect punch of color to your more neutral looks, while the black shoulder bag works hard for your work looks, and  transitions right on into evening. 

Overall, I can't wait to get my hands on some of the pieces here. What are your must have accessories for this fall?
