is it fall yet?

while i love summer and all that it has to offer (beaches, warm weather, shorts, etc) i think i may be ready for fall? weird for me to say coming from a 90 degree weather lover, but this year (probably the first year ever) i really am ready to jump into fall with some new clothing and styles. even though living in sourhern california means that fall really won't come until maybe late october, early november, it's okay.... we can just hope it comes sooner. i have put together a list of my fall essentials for 2010.. hopefully this won't be just a wishlist, but will become a reality!

the camel coat:
a must have. while i have black and gray, even an off white one, the camel tones are really in for this fall. i want. i neeeeeed.



the wide leg pants:
as i mentioned before, what goes around comes around, the same can be said for wide leg pants. throw on some wedges under these high-waisted wide leggers and you're set. so 70's and so right.



the
faux fur coat and/or vest:
i think i feel in love with this look last fall, but it has resurfaced again. love the look of the vest paired with a flirty floral dress or over a simple long sleeve & jeans. ditto for the fur coat. the texture contrast is always a plus. think fur is to bulky? break up the look with a belt to give you a waist.


the fitted blazer:
this is a timeless piece and well worth splurging on if necessary. this versatile piece is perfect not only in the winter with some layers, but its easily do-able in the spring & summer with a simple tank or cami.




the military jacket:
this military trend has been popular for quite some time, but it's not going anywhere quite yet. a simple military jacket is essential. the simple gold buttons really pop on that navy or army green jacket. this style adds the perfect amount of masculinity to make it perfectly feminine.



knee to thigh high boots:
i was SO against this trend last year, but it has taken over me and i've surrendered. i LOVE this look now. rule # 1? keep the heel lower than the norm to avoid looking like a complete hooker.




gloves:
so maybe not completely necessary for here in LA, but i can't help but love the look. love the look of fingerless gloves. any fabric. knit? leather? long gloves to your elbows? yes please.. where do i sign up?\




here's to fall weather!
