2009 Fall Fashion By Alison

This is going to be a blog about all of the biggest trends and fads for this fall. Also some must have essentials for fall. At the end of the blog there will be a list of shops that should have these items. Enjoy!

1) Menswear for women

This is one of the biggest looks for fall. One of the biggest staples you should take from this look is a black or navy blue blazer. Another great thing to incorporate into your look is a tie. This can be used as a tie or you can get creative and wear it as a belt. The possibilities are endless. :)

2) Boho chic

One of the biggest styles this season is Boho chic. Its part hippie part bohemian. This is a great look for fall. Two celebrities that have had the most influence on this look are Kate Moss and Sienna Miller. You will want to get a embroidered shirt and some boots for this look. Also a cute hat is always a great accessory !

3) Glam Rock ( also known as glitter rock )

This look first became popular in the 70's but has made a comeback recently! One of my favorite

looks from this is to wear a fancy dress and wear a leather bomber jacket over it. Also if you have a old leather jacket its really cute over a AC/DC t-shirt to give you that rocker feel .Try some zipper leggings, leather pants, or a chain necklace for some shine.

4) THINK NEON !

Some really great ways to wear bright colors but not go overboard : a bright bag, some neon shoes or for a minimal color pop, color your nails neon!

5) General Fall 2009 trends

• Pastel colored pants are a great way to be unique instead of wearing boring jeans


• Another way to get away from everyday jeans is to buy some bleached jeans. These are very in right now, try it !


• Stripes you can go for the whole shebang (ie: a sailor look etc ) or just subtle incorporate them into your outfit.
  
• One shoulder dress. I really like this look, as does Mrs.Michelle Obama !


• Scarfs ! A must have for fall and it will keep you warm too ! try them in prints or a simple color.
  
• Animal prints .. try them on your shoes, or your purse.


• Plaid, a really great fall item. A scarf, a jacket or a 3/4 sleeve shirt.


• Cardigans. One of the best things to wear in the fall. You can wear a thin one vest like cardigan or a thick long button up cardigan. Argyle is always cute.
