Style Fyle: NM LIST

As you may or may not know, Ken Downing, the fashion director for Neiman Marcus always includes a "what's in" list to each Neiman Marcus THE BOOK (their catalog) every season. It's one of my favorites to receive. They are always so on point to the trends going on for the season. 

The awesome thing about style is you can create whatever look you want, while you follow the whats on the IN list. You get to determine how you look.

Imagine yourself as a canvas, you being the painter, you get to choose what you'd like to paint(wear). Be precise, creative & carefree. Choose colors that will flatter the end result of the painting. Don't choose colors(or sizes) that could mess the entire look. If you have a vision of what you want the painting to look like, paint it. But trust me to tell you this, don't give up. You've got this!

And onto what IN this season: 

P.S. I gathered all of the pictures to give you examples.

Rocker Chic

Fashion tunes in

I like to look at Demi's style(at some point I'd love to style for her) she's very edgy but yet she still looks so chic! I think it would look weird if she wore another genre of clothing. I also love how she rocks her curves! Power to the curves! 

Violet femmes

From lavender to eggplant, purple reigns.

These shoes are gorgeous! I want THEM! They are just so adorable. I see many outfits paired with this pair of shoes! www.shopplasticland.com

Boys Town

A dash of habdashery, a touch of tomboy

I couldn't pick just one! All three looks are great! Rashida Jones definitely looks great in the "grandpa sweater. And I like jeans rolled up, gives the outfit more texture. And the Oxford shoes are well placed. 

The bowtie is so cute! I know a girl named Taylor, who can pretty much wear anything and make it look good. Paper bag even! And she wore a bowtie, a suit like the bottom picture and pointy toed shoes and knocked it out of the park! I like how in the first pic, the shirt doesn't look ironed. And the boyfriend jeans are a must in every wardrobe.

And lastly the bottom outfit. I like this look! First the pastel is in for fall, secondly if you were to do a suit like this, you have got to show your ankle if you plan to wear oxfords, it'll look too masculine if you don't.

The Pointed Toe

Looks sharp on everything, from pumps to boots

I am such a sucker for pointed ballet flats from madewell, it isn't even funny! A pointy toe is such an elongating trick you can use for your legs to appear miles long! And if you already long legs, then watch out, y'all! They are going to appear longer! They're perfect! I adore the bottom pic!!

Lace Noir

Fade to black

The lace outfits, should be dark. The lace noir is very deep. Very sensual. Very classy & feminine. Imagine what the mad men cast would wear and go for it! It's very elegant.

Red, The New Neutral

Has us all fired up

I like using red as an accent color, not necessarily as a whole ensemble or a large amount of my outfit! But I'm coming around to the color! And since its a neutral, I should treat it like one and start by using it in my outfits more often! If you're weary about it too, try a red lip or nail polish. If you're a bit more bold, shoes or bag... It'll help ease you into full on outfit of red.

Animal Magnetism

We're wild for spots and stripes

I am ALL about the leopard print! It super feminine & fierce. And it can be styled so easily! I even like the bottom pic of the two different prints of leopard in one outfit! It works well!

Scaled-Down Handbags

Mini dimensions, Major impact

As we see here with this red Celine purse as a cross body. It's perfect for the season. And Let's face it ladies, we don't need to bring everything but the kitchen sink with us! We need a break sometimes... It's nice to scale down on handbags...

The Fall Face

Toned Down Gets Turned Up

I wear neutral makeup everyday, so this isn't a stretch for me to do. But the first pic, that would be a very big stretch for me! So maybe ill have my makeup artist sister give me some tips & tricks.  I will be wearing my MAC Rebel lipstick this fall though! : ) 

Multifaceted Necklaces

Gem-Cut stones add a flash of brilliance

I really like this necklace. It would be great for fall. Just the colors alone are perfect for autumn.

And that concludes the list! Hope you enjoyed it! Give some or all of these suggestions a shot, try them out sometime... Before the next list comes out at least!!!

Love y'all! Have a great Wednesday! -Ryn
