Style Fyle: autumn is coming...

As I've mentioned before, I LOVE Autumn! I love the smell, the cooler weather, the leaves changing, the warm drinks you order from a coffee shop, the cozy feelings, how the stores get ready for the fall fashions, the Bonfires & hayrides, the thanksgiving celebrations,... EVERYTHING! I adore it all! 

One of my most favorite things in autumn are the outfits and pieces you can wear & come up with! It's soo much better than summer, not to knock summer, I just like Fall better! 😉 It's a magical time of year. 

I love fall colors; the berry, teal, emerald, rust, mustard, cream, camel... Etc. but you don't have to wear the colors of fall to celebrate fall! Neons are still IN, among other colors too! Am just excited to wear some of my deeper colored nail polishes! Woohoo!

Here are a few pics I gathered from my www.Pinterest.com boards, I hope you find inspiration in all of these looks! : ) 

Casual:

These looks are for the more casual lifestyle. The one who shops, works in a less conservative atmosphere, the artistic & such! 

The poncho and the Oxford underneath andwith the rain boots, so so cute!

With the hat and the scarf and the stripes...oh my! Perfection!

I bought a felted hat like this, this past spring and I'm so excited to wear it finally! 

Also the collared shirt underneath the oversized shirt looks so great!

I also bought an oversized cashmere sweater this past spring, I will definitely be trying something like this with it!

The whole patches thing on the jeans to the chambray & sweater. Gorgeous.

I'll be wearing my chambray shirts all season long!

I'm all about the flares right now! And with that fur coat, amazing!

I'm liking the whole red pants look! Especially with a big comfy sweater. This look looks ultra chic!

Don't forget to utilize your floral & colored denim this fall too! 

What don't I like about this outfit? Pretty much nothing... 

The hi-lo hemline with the shirt underneath, genius!

That scarf and brogues look luxe with that outfit!

Leather (or faux leather) pants are such an unexpected surprise to any outfit!

With the boots and the patchwork blazer, you can't really go wrong! : )

Work:

These are some ideas for corporate working environments...

The colors just meld beautifully together.

Those pants are so cute, and that vest! The scarf brings everything together & 

makes the whole outfit pop!

I'm really liking the casualness of the zip up hoodie with the pencil skirt. Such a

nice combo! The leopard shoes are great too!

Ugh! I really like this look! The whole thing! With fur vest, the skirt( I bet it's midi length!) and top bun & sunglasses! Perfect in everyway! 

The cinched in blazer with a belt. Super cute right? 

See neon? It's such a good break from all the black going on! 

I'm really diggin' the ankle pants with the socks & platform booties, i'll have to try that!

And that jacket is super cute, right?!?

This would look like Christmas on you body if the colors were brighter, but since they are very deep & luxe, it totally works!

If you have any summer-y skirts you still want to wear, you can totally pair them with tights and a cozy sweater! It's such a fun fall look!

This is just chic & intense. With the heeled booties & coat, you can't really go wrong!

Which stores I will be frequenting this fall & winter: 

Madewell (duh!)

Old navy (it's my kind of forever 21)

Nordstrom & Nordstrom rack

H&M 

Neiman Marcus 

Gap

Free people 

Ulta

And any others along the way ; )

Style find: Pantone colors

When I was teaching my second class back in february, one of the ladies asked me such a great question! She had asked me: if I use Pantone color system, when determining what fabric colors to pick for the season?

And I told her this:
I rarely check the Pantone colors each season. I mean I look, but I don't necessarily use them in my wardrobe! (Since I gravitate towards neutral colors anyways) But they do have an app for Pantone colors. It's $9.99 just for an app.

To me, The Pantone panel, are there to make money. For every season they pick about 14 "in" colors. And the fashion industry runs with it and they try to lure you into the buying trends you won't need/want in the future. Just remember, back in fall of 2011 the new hot color was Bordeaux then in fall of 2012 they renamed the same exact color, oxblood!

So I mean, be cautious of what colors you are be swindled into buying.

If you bought a pair of sea-foam green colored jeans last year, and then your considering buying a pair of mint jeans that just has a different name... try and run through you closet in your mind. And see if you have anything that is similar in your closet. You probably don't need the garment your thinking of purchasing!

I'm not saying to give in to trends or colors, I'm just saying don't be fooled by the name changes. I still like color! But I usually buy colors that I like and what I know I'm going to wear for a long amount of time! Like I've said before, I buy a lot of neutrals. And I really like to pair colors with each neutral outfit I wear. Imagine an all black outfit and then you add a rockin' mean cuff bracelet or necklace, pretty awesome right? You can add any color to a neutral outfit, and pretty much hit it out of the park!

So be mindful of the games retail stores play with you!
Not to say, you shouldn't buy the new up and coming colors coming out! I totally do that myself! I fancy the colors coming out, and I try to update my wardrobe with a couple pieces!

Here are Pantone spring "it" colors:

Color combos for Fall! : )

So, Ive been thinking, a pair of Gap royal blue khakis are on their way to my house as we speak... of course I ordered them 3 months ago, but that's beside the point!  I know that colored jeans & pants are all the rage right now, and they were last fall too! I quite frankly love them! But to some it may be a sensitive subject! Here are some colors you wouldn't think of going together, but they fit perfectly together : )


Have fun with it, and if you figure out other colors to go with your royals, your rusts, your taupes & your greenish golds, please let me know! I'd love to try the combos!

For this fall and winter, my favorite color combos are:


Royal Blue & Rust:
My all time fave! Who knew it would look great?! The rust makes the blue pop! it's absolutely gorgeous!

 

 and

Navy/Fawn Taupe

and

Navy/Greenish Gold:

and

Royal Blue/Heather Grey:
This combo is just cute! I love it!
