Dolce & Gabbana 2012: AMAZINGNESS

Inspired by caped priest coats, golden embroidery, choir boy cuffs & religious gorgeousness filled Dolce & Gabbana's fall 2012 runway. I could not help but post about their collection because they have consistently won as my favorite for the past few seasons. AMAZING!!!! So much of Italy's richness in this collection.

FALL TREND 2012: BANGS!!!!!

Blunt bangs appeared all over the runways and magazine covers this season. Celebrities like Katy Perry & Katie Holmes were seen sporting bangs and I was inspired to cut mine! I also saw this trend at the Elie Saab, Versace, and Marni shows. Not only do bangs look great with a bright lip, but they bring attention to a great feature...your eyes! Be careful though... blunt bangs are not for everyone. Those with a small forehead should avoid this look.

FALL TREND ALERT: SHINE!!!!

You just gotta ignite...the light....and let it SHINE. This is one of my favorite trends for fall 2012. Some of you may quickly begin to speed walk in the opposite direction, or even run as if you're partaking in a marathon when spotting a pair of tin foil like trousers at the mall. Stop it. Don't be afraid. Take a deep breath, grab a latte & remember this post. The shine trend is actually quite fun & modern if done properly. Don't pair your luxe shine items with other shiny items. If people wanted to see a Tin Man, they would rent The Wizard of Oz. Instead, choose a shiny garment that appeals to you and pair with something understated, subtle or matte; keeping your accessories to minimum. Oh & men can rock this too!!!! Check out these pants & cool "shine" jacket I found at American Apparel for this trend.
