Before the fall: The season’s trends, hot off the runway

A blogger for fashion retailer Bluefly.com, Nana breaks down the biggest trends on the curb, the catwalk & the red carpet.

I know you don’t wanna even THINK about fall right now, but the truth is, September is just weeks away. The good news is, very soon you can start experimenting with some of the coolest trends this month’s fashion mags are featuring. I’m most looking forward to wearing big boxy plaids with cowlneck sweaters (like the look Adam Lippes sent down the runway for fall):

Statement accessories:

Metallic flashes (that aren’t over-the-top) like this skirt by Abaete:

And all the pretty dresses!

    I love cold weather… but what tips would you have to look wintery in the desert? I’m moving to Arizona soon and wearing summer trends all year long is BORING!

  • hey tierra!

    with global warming causing the weather to schiz out, there are lots of ways to incorporate fall looks into a summer wardrobe. there are plaid tops & skirts in lightweight fabrics, dark or neutral mini dresses, and peep toe ankle boots or pumps can be worn all year round! There are also lightweight cashmere pullovers and cardigans ‘cos it gets a lil’ chilly in the desert at night, no?

    check out these pieces on Bluefly.com for inspiration by entering the style # in the search field:
    1. Theory black patent leather ankle boots (style # 2145019)

    2. Nanette Lepore ivory perforated patent peep-toe pumps (style # 2129673)

    3. Prada grey distressed leather peep toe flats (style # #300538801)

    4. Tory Burch floral crepe tunic dress (style # 300478601)

    5. BCBGMaxAzria black jersey flutter sleeve dress (style # 300893601)

    7. Robert Rodriguez grey plaid cropped pants (style # 2136185)

  • hey tierra! if you were trying to search for some of the items i listed in my last comment, add “00″ at the end of the 7-digit style #s. we just upgraded to a new publishing platform so the style #s are configured a bit differently. let me know if you saw anything you liked!

    Thanks nana! I love the Prada grey distressed leather peeps, the black jersey flutter dress, and the cashmere deep-v sweater. The perfect cashmere sweater is so hard to find….
