Fall Fashion Tips For Men & Women

Fall Fashion for a Polished Image

LADIES

60's and 70's simple glamour is a polished minimalism look for fall:

*The "Mad Men" look is fashion forward in 2010. Simple sheath dresses with a skinny belt, or pencil skirts with a soft blouse and cardigan.

*Accessorize with an animal print short coat, handbag, pointy toe kitten heel shoe, or a skinny belt to update clothes in your closet.

*Camel is the most fashionable color for fall. Add a blazer, skirt or trouser in camel to your wardrobe. It's classic and a great neutral to any color you love.

*Tailored lean pants or leggings paired with a belted jacket or cape and a boot or bootie is a fun trend that is still a polished look.


MEN

Layering is stylish and adds interest:

*Think of layering for a polished, but casual look. Example: a collared shirt under a vest or pullover sweater ups the style factor, and a jacket not only gives warmth but adds structure to your look.

*Add a couple of new ties to your wardrobe for a fall fashion statement like a deep orange or gold. Consider bold colors.

*Versatile tweed sport jacket is a key element to a strong and polished fall wardrobe. It's perfect with jeans or slacks for a professional to dressy look.

*A bolder addition would be to add a velvet jacket or even a jacket with velvet lapels. It's a great look with jeans. It's a touch of simple sophistication.

Holiday Home Decor

Interior Design Makeovers & Holiday Home Decor:

*Give your home a face-lift with an interior design makeover for the holidays by adding rich jewel tone colors in simple accessories such as pillows, table cloth, area rug, sofa slip cover, etc.

*Clear the clutter in your home to make way for holiday decor. Find clever ways to store things and make a holiday donation with things you don't need.

*Simple, economical holiday decoration in your home can create an elegant look. Consider a smaller tree in a color scheme; a clear vase with a bag of raw cranberries, water and long stem red roses; and/or fresh garland in one focal point.

Fall Interior Design Tips

*Your interior space can be updated with fall colors, adding warmth to a space.

*Neutrally colored sofas, chairs, and duvet covers expand your accent color and fabric texture options to bold and beautiful which creates a luxurious and warm feeling to any room.

*Neutrals are a fashion forward color palette; look for warm, earthy or sandy tones that you would find in natural landscapes.

*Change your accent accessories to fall colors like burnt orange, wine red, deep teal blue and mossy greens. You can do this with pillows, area rugs, curtains, ottomans, or small chairs.

*Add fall inspired textured fabrics such as velvet, chenille, damask, or a printed silk and velvet combination.

* Now is the time to make any interior improvements you need and have been putting off before the rainy season.

*Beat holiday stress by clearing clutter in your home... find clever ways to store things and donate what you don't need.
