1. Reblog: Top 10 Fall Fashion Trends by
Shoppingandinfo.com
Fall is a great time of year because it means brisker temperatures, leaves changing colors, and
the holidays are approaching. As someone who grew up on the east coast, I have always
loved the fall. I love the fall colors in nature and the smell of wood burning from fireplaces
on a fall evening. Some of my favorite items for fall are top handle bags and the color camel.
Here is my list of the top 10 must have Fall trends for 2011.
1.) The color Camel for fall is one of
the biggest trends this season. Check
out this 3.1 Phillip Lim Scarf Collar
Coat with Removable Sleeves
motorcycle jacket for $850. If ever
there were a genius jacket, this one by
3.1 Phillip Lim is it. The jacket hits the
lady like trend as well as the camel
color neutral trend for fall and it is 2
looks in one. The motorcycle cut of
the jacket gives this jacket a modern
edge. The attached scarf gives it the
lady like look. The sleeves can zip off
which gives the jacket another modern
vest look. This is the perfect jacket for
work and for travel.
2.) The look of mod is big. Think
1960’s with smokey eyes, pink lips, a
white mohair sweater and a pair of
leggings with a pair of black riding
boots. Bridgette Bardot epitomized the
smoldering siren look and this fall soft

2. feminine fluffy sweaters are back. Recently Kristen Stewart wore a white mohair and wool
sweater from Max Mara on the cover of W Magazine paying tribute to that look. For the fall
season, wear the look with black bootcut Capri jeans with a pair of wedge platform pumps.
Michael by Michael Kors made a white deep cowl neck sweater this season that can also be
worn off the shoulder too to create that whole mod look for $120. Free Shipping Free Returns

now.

3. 3.) The top handle bag. If you love the show Mad Men then you have probably seen top
handle bags from that era. This season is all about the top handle bag to cinch that ladylike
look. Top handle bags can be carried in the crook of your arm, worn with pumps and a shift
dress. Top handle bags can be as simple as a snap open top bag to a top handle bag with an
opening on either side of the bag and a cross body strap for a modern update. One of my
favorites is the Fendi Peekaboo which just gives you the ladylike look with all of the
functionality. However if you would like something more affordable a great option is the

4. glazed top handle leather bag by Giani Bernini bag for $98. The bag has a top handle, cross
body or shoulder strap, and separated sections inside the bag for easy organization.

5. 4.) Platform wedge shoes from the
90’s are back. If looking tall is a
big priority you are in luck. One of
the biggest trends this season is
from the 1990’s. Shoes that can
help you grow 5 inches in height
and keep your feet comfortable all
day long. One of the biggest
platform wedge designers from the
1990’s is back with updated
versions of the platform wedge.
This season Robert Clergerie
created platform wedges in 5 inch
loafers to go with opaque tights,
pleated skirts, and cardigans. This
trend allows us city girls to go
from our 6 floor walk ups to the
subway to work without any pain.
The look is fabulous and you look tall. Robert Clergerie loafer platform pumps are $765.
Another great option that is less funky are the beeout platform black suede pumps Nine West
Beeout Black Suede Wedges for $89. Platform wedges are everywhere this season and come
in boots, pumps, and sandals. This trend is great for us petite gals.
5.) A great wool coat. This season feminine wool coats are front and center to go with all the
ladylike fashions. You need a great coat to go with your top handle bag. Some of my
favorites are the belted wool coats that you can wear with pants or a dress so you can go from
office to dinner without thinking twice. One of my favorites is a tie waist wool coat that has a
little detail like a fur shawl collar or a ruffle collar. Just those little touches can turn a
functional wool coat into an extra special piece. Get the ruffle tie waist Couture Allure Coat
for $123.99.

6. 6.) Rubber riding
boots. To be practical
fall is also about rain
and you will want to
have a pair of great
rain boots for fall and
winter. This year rain
boots are not just about
wearing a pair of
rubber boots by Hunter
anymore. Rubber rain
boots are being made
by everyone from
Chanel to Givenchy.
The great thing about
these new fangled
rubber rain boots is
that you can wear them
with your regular
going out or work
clothes. You won’t
look like you are
wearing a pair of
galoshes. You will look like you are wearing a pair of black riding boots and you won’t
worry about them because they are waterproof and rubber. TheGivenchy Rider Rainboots are
$295.
7.) Felt hats inspired by menswear. A great trend this season are menswear inspired cardigan,
hats, and jackets. One of my favorite looks is the fedora with a feminine twist. Nothing looks
sexier on a woman than a fedora with a feather paired with a bespoke looking jacket, jeans,

7. and oxfords. The Brixton Gain in Grey Felt fedora with a black ribbon and feather is just
what the doctor ordered for $57.
8.) Ankle boots – Ankle boots are now a wardrobe staple like pumps and riding boots. You
wear your ankle boots with skinny jeans and a leather jacket to go out or you wear ankle
boots with opaque tights and a skirt with a sweater for work. Ankle boots give that little bit of
edge to your outfit that you cannot get from a pair of pumps or sandals. Ankle boots add an
additional layer of cool to your whole look. One of the masters of ankle boots is Alexander
Wang.
. He makes them with laces and platforms for that ultra modern look. One of my favorites are
from THE OUTNET.COM - Shop all designer shoes at 40 to 60% off now for $236.

8. 9.) The leather bracelet has become a big trend this season. Leather bracelets can be worn
casually and they can be worn for an evening out too in lieu of your watch or a bunch of gold
bracelets. The leather bracelet can also be bundled with your gold bracelets as a total look.
Leather bracelets embellished with crystals and chains or just plain with a snap or a hook.
There is one for every personality. One of my favorites is by Gorjana and has a gold toggle
closure on a leather strap. It is subtle, but interesting.

9. 10.) Cat eye oversized sunglasses – you must complete your look with a great pair of sunnies.
One of my favorite pairs this season is a cat eyed oversized tortoise pair of Ray Bans that can
be worn with a scarf over your head, crew neck long sleeve tee, Capri pants, and ballerina
flats ala Jackie O. Get the Ray-Ban Large Cat Eye Sunglasses for $129.
